Life has a way of entertaining you- and while I always crib about a lack of material for my great novel- separate incidents in the last 2 weeks of December 2011 could spawn off their own Mystery novel series- with titles like:
1. deviousDiv & the Secret of the Gym Mutant
After vowing to get fit by Q2 2012, deviousDiv joined a popular gym near her workplace to commence the process. Things were going well until she noticed a peculiar life form which was always running beside her. Shaped remarkably like a human female, this creature was always running at full tilt when deviousDiv arrived, ran much faster than deviousDiv will ever run, and continued its sprint run even after deviousDiv left.
What's even eerier was that this lifeform never seemed to sweat. Those jewel encrusted Juicy Coture jammies and diamond earrings caught the lights and seemed to mockingly wink at deviousDiv while the creature ran unabated. How was she able to stay so beautiful the whole time, while deviousDiv was red in the face and drenched? Why is it that this braless creature's chest was completely immobile? Was this creature a vampire?
deviousDiv decided to get the the bottom of this, and decided to run with the creature. A full 55 minutes it went on. deviousDiv was so dehydrated at the end of it, she was light-headed and floated behind the creature to the showers. Unfortunately the creature got lost in the mists of the half-naked women coming out of their respective showers, and the other related mayhem of the gym during its peak period- and she was no closer to finding any answers than when she began her investigation.
In the mean time, deviousDiv developed a mysterious injury on her right knee setting her investigations back 2 weeks. Will she get to the bottom of this, all while juggling a wonky knee, a crazy work schedule, and her nervousness around the cute Sri Lankan guy across the room pumping some serious iron?
2. deviousDiv & the Curse of the future Credit Card Bill
When the witty and somewhat dysfunctonal deviousDiv got her first credit card, it was love at first sight. Yet she put strict restrictions on herself, to prevent her from spending too much of borrowed money. The only problem? She is going on a holiday to India- a very expensive country to holiday in, and anticipates she will be setting herself into uncomforable credit card debt in the near future.
It couldn't come at a worse time- she just tied up over half her salary in a sensible savings plan that she won't be able to touch until she's 35, or she closes the account, leaving her with a ridiculous sum for personal expenses that reminds her of her first job straight out of college.
Can deviousDiv uncover a way to renegotiate the savings plan? Can she find a cheap but safe option for travel through the dangerous New Delhi in winter? Or is she going to be in debt to the card company for the rest of 2012 paying off her bill?
None of the above situations--- are fictional btw. ;)
HAPPY NEW YEAR. Here's to another great year of blogging, inspiration and insanity.
