She loved being in love. She loved it so

  • She loved being in love. She loved it so much that she prepared for Valentine's Day ten years in advance. She didn't have a boyfriend yet but that didn't matter because she knew
  • on the day of her eighteenth birthday, she'd be so desperately in love that she'd want to give herself away. But she was eight, & her plans were somewhat immature. Ten years later
  • he would be a different person. Probably an asshole. So she turned her attention back to her Barbies. Ken and Barbie were about to
  • take Midge out for drinks. If they could get her drunk enough, another three way was a possibility. She rubbed their smooth plastic and sighed. If only he were like Ken and she
  • weren't saddled with her kids Ryan, Nikki,and Cassandra. That bitch Barbie didn't have baby fat to lose. That bitch had the dream house, the dream car, and the new boyfriend
  • John Madden, although whether that was a pleasant dream or a football-crazy nightmare is up for debate. Barbie and John would go out on trips and he would not stop talking football
  • and how it had impacted his life and work as a competitive botanist. He said he dreamed of someday being the Tom Brady of Arugula, he trained every chance he got by
  • juggling as many as four pots while reciting the common and latin names of each species. Perhaps one day he would finally be ready to
  • take on the cooking masters, the gourmands who could -- and did -- cook every known species. One day he could wield the Master's Knife. But today, he had to sling more hash.
  • And that would have to be enough for the chef - knowing that his life would go on as it is but with the image of success just...lingering. "Another day" he said to himself.
