  Cat�s curled up in a ball next to me and I�m watching the Paris and Nicole show. It�s terrible, or course, but I can�t keep my eyes off these rich bimbs. To think, I used to not watch TV at all. I am 35 and I do not own any real furniture. I sit on my bed and type away on my laptop. Maybe that�s why my back always hurts. Whatever. Some day I�ll bust through that glass ceiling and leap over that poverty line. Then I�ll get me a couch. If I work real hard, I�ll get my master�s degree before I�m 40. Boyfriend and I can�t stop playing Scrabble and Backgammon. Bridge cannot be far behind. He wants me to move to Tacoma and go to the university there. We�ll see. Friendships are different as I get older.
