Friday 3-point status update→[More:]
1. I'm having a 'down' day today, my first in about a week. I'm doing what I'd planned on doing on Christmas Day - nothing!
2. Called the LA meetup to hang out with simpatico people, not to be judged for how I look. Would still rather be going somewhere quiet.
3.Am waiting for the contractor to show up to inspect what the construction tape did to my hardwood floors when I just had them refinished; also to let me know if he found any European models comparable in size to the dryer I want. The counter lights still need to be installed, but have not yet arrived.
1. Friend who moved a couple years ago back in town for the weekend.
2. Indian food for dinner!!!
3. Landlord and insurance guy due in about 20 min. Have that "oh god, the landlord, oh no... house is too messy" feeling of dread. Although it is, in all reality, fine.
The contractor just called and said his employees were in a bad accident and will call back in two hours. I hope they're not badly hurt, but I did NOT want to be stuck here all day.
1. Back in NYC. Was sad to leave FL, but it's good to be home, too.
2. I saw BROOKE HOGAN (and Mom Hogan) at the airport this morning. SO EXCITING, I haven't had a good celebrity sighting in awhile. Girlfriend looks a lot less tranny in person.
3. I arrived at my house to a huge pile of holiday cards- thanks, bunnies!
1. Busy as hell at work in order to get the hell out of here and head to Charleston to see BF, yay! Then tomorrow we drive to Baltimore! Yay! Trepidations though about kids and drive and all that traveling shit!
2. Weather horrible. Do not like driving in horrible weather. Ominous dream. Hopefully means nothing.
3. Have had waaaaaaay too much coffee!! Yay me! Am typing really really fast! Am getting shit done! Feel like am about to jump out of my skin or at least my chair! Woot! Will dance now!
1. I'm on the mend, although I have a blocked ear and my energy levels are way down.
2. Over to see the family tomorrow. not looking forward to it. It's seven hours of travel so I can be told off by my grandma and spend too short a time with my brothers. The g/f is also pissed I didn't invite her.
3. I've got a mountain of stuff I need to crack on with. I'm not looking forward to 2008.
1. Got most of the Xmas stuff put away yesterday, and was otherwise very lazy. Had planned to go to bed early, but stayed up till almost 3 AM playing video games. Yeesh.
2. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the rest of my time off, and I like it that way. (Though if it ever stops drizzling/raining, we need to rake the front yard.)
3. Hoping to finally see "No Country For Old Men" today or tomorrow, since I think we're the last two people in the U.S. who haven't seen it yet.
3. Last night, I did three sets of Power Cleans with 95 lbs. They were a little sloppy, definitely not world-class but that was the first time I had done them with any real weight. I'm happy I finished the sets; I'll continue to polish my form.
1. just woke up.
2. going to go take a walk with a pretty girl soon. TEEHEE. i haven't been in a new relationship in awhile, and i'd forgotten how much fun it is.
3. need a shower. bye now!
1. Need a shower, too.
2. Need to clean the kitchen. Need to do a lot of things. Maybe I'll make a list. Makes me feel like I'm doing something. (I never enjoy vacations like I think I will. Get a little stir crazy.)
3. Feeling very FAT. A regular Pillsbury Doughgirl. My thighs are like hams. I'm not eating today. I'm NOT. (Not till supper anyway.) Me.
Amro, they are teeny, weeny little sausages, about an inch long, probably the equivalent of two normal sausages. The plate only measures 8" across, so it looks much more than it really is. Or was. It was delicious.
