Topic Two: I have the bubbles. I have brought my lunch. The weather is gorgeous. My co-workers are out for the day. All the elements are adding up for a fabulous day.
Topic Three: One of my co-workers is celebrating his birthday today, so I have to take a little time out and go buy him a cupcake.
Topic Four: I have decided (again) that I really do need to get in better shape, since Festival is only 4 months away and I want to be somewhat more svelte than I am, since I may or may not be fighting, and I just want to look damn good! So I have lugged in my liter bottle of water and am determined to drink at least 3 of them today, and will (almost) completely cut soda out of my diet. No more than 12 oz a day, less if possible. I've had my one can all ready, so it's water from here on out. And I will start working out more. Promise.
Topic Five: Have I mentioned how much I adore Radio Margaritaville? *bops along to I Will Play for Gumbo*
Yesterday I resisted the urge to go buy music, reminding myself that I have to buy trim and fabric for my new court gown. A gorgeous blue duipioni silk and faboo black gimp trim, 1.25" wide. I've all ready purchased $32 worth of beads and pearls... Will have to keep track of how much I spend this year. I hope to keep the cost to under $250. We'll see how that goes.
ETA: Off to Cheeptrims.com I went... and left $80 poorer. However, I got what I wanted/needed, and some that I didn't but will look good on the blue silk. I was unaware (tho had probably been told at one point) that they have a minimum $65 purchase, which caught me unawares. Ah, well, will just have to tighten the belt a little more and hope for no emergencies.
Okay, regardless of whether or not it's actually the capsaicin in jalapenos that brings to effect the sinus-clearing phenomena that occurs after eating said fruit, it is what I'm lauding as the more effective de-cloggling remedy for sinus congestion. Those hot little beggars do more for me than a day's worth of Day-Quil and/or Sudafed.
If only I could handle eating one every time the effect wears off... See, I have this thing about breathing. I kinda like it.
Today is my half birthday. I'm spending this day in my pj's, with a box of tissues close at hand and Day-Quil on my bathroom counter. Yes, I'm home sick today, since my boss doesn't want me in the office if I have so much as a sniffle. When I spoke with him this morning I asked how long he would be in the office, thinking I would go in when he left. Just my luck, he plans to be there all day.
I get points for wanting to go to work, right? I have this thing about getting paid... I kinda like it.
Ah, well, will at least get some sewing done. I spent yesterday sleeping. Don't have the energy to sleep today. *grin*
I am very put out. I can't seem to find my copy of The Scarlet Pimpernel soundtrack. I am certain that wherever it is, it's with my Bride and Prejudice soundtrack as well, and possible a few other things, but I sadly can't begin to think of where to look for them. I suppose I will have to knuckle down and actually do a massive tidy-up, at least until I can find my missing CDs.
