1. Slept in 'till 8:00, not sure how that happened.
2. Drank coffee, showered.
3. Managed to walk to work without getting lost.
4. Bagel day at work.

1. Up at dawn!
2. Fried egg sandwich with sharp cheddar, mug of French roast coffee! HELL YES!
3. ISN'T THAT ENOUGH? WHEEEEEEEE!

1. FRIDAY! 'nuff said.
2. Ordered a wireless keyboard and mouse yesterday. Vendor called to say they are giving it to me free because of how much I've bought from them in the past few years.
3. No meetings yesterday or today, so I am actually getting stuff done for once.
4. Went on a date on Sunday. Foolishly mentioned Minecraft. She wanted to hear more about it! O_o. (I know this is not a Friday thing but it's sufficiently good that I claim it carries forward for at least a week.)
5. Cannot wait to get home and play more Minecraft. This is a sign that my mood is much better than it has been for years, because fun things are fun again.

Husband home all week for the holiday!
Greasy street meet for lunch!
Meet the Lady tonight!
MetafilterCares gift drive going amazingly well! Last year 12 kids, this year 25 kids, next year- 50, I say!
Dad arrives tomorrow!

Meeting lady tonight. Possibly with a definite article involved somewhere.

Got my ID card reinstated at work.

Polishing off another major project at work today.

Getting my apartment set up a bit tomorrow (still no furniture, but blinds and a shower curtain and stuff!).

1. This thread! Is good for me! Because I have accomplished Things!
2. Channa dal this morning for breakfast, homemade!
3. Will do my hairs today which is always fun! WHEE velcro rollers!
4. Mowed front lawn!
5. Cleared a garden bed and prepped it for planting garlic!

1. Recovering from head-cold.
2. Learned my MSc. result: a distinction.
3. Got a job-offer.

1. Managed to get my sleepy self on the treadmill before work. This lets me feel superior all day long. WIN TOTAL WIN!

2. Bought another cooler so I can pack yummy food for my road trip this weekend and not have to deal with wasting time at restaurants. WIN!: With two 13-hour days of driving, every minute I can save counts.

3. Going to the local brew pub after work to drink a little beer and perhaps even eat garlic smashed potatoes. Garlic Smashed Potatoes = WIN!

An attempt to go the gym has proven that yes, I am still sick....

UCK

1. Working from home! Still in my pajamas! Had half a beer with lunch!
2. Sold tickets I couldn't use to a concert tonight and to the HP premiere last night. I'm glad both that the tickets aren't being wasted, and that I'm not out any money.
3. Little brother's birthday is tomorrow, celebrating almost 23 years since modern medicine saved his life. YAY MODERN MEDICINE.

1. I may still be fairly slow-moving, but I got in (kinda late as always), moseyed halfway down the hill to get a giant chai, moseyed to a very fruitful interview session with a bunch of friendly, well-spoken people.

2. Then I stuck around with one of them who had kind of a similar academic background to myself (i.e. "not exactly what we usually do here in the journalism program"), and might like a little commiseration to prove that she's not all by her lonesome down there. And she was really nice. So now I have a new coffee person :)

3. Talked to my mom, who sounded nicely clear-headed, and wished her a sincere good luck on her exhibit. And then, when she asked me if I had "baby fever," told her my thoughts on having children, without either of us flipping out. (Mostly.)

Also: DUDE, I would love to have a Meet the Lady session out here in flyover land.

1. OWWWWWWNNNNNNNED my Polish test. Like finished early, spotted all my mistakes, used up all the space in the "writing" section and needed to continue in the margins. Whoo!

2. Friends from out of town in!

3. Giving a seminar on something I love tomorrow. Further OWNAGE.

1. Still sick. :(

Good day for me for this!

1. Ate very healthy breakfast and got to train in plenty of time!

2. Finished my one significant work project this AM!

3. Went to excellent lunch where Judge Walker (from the Prop 8 trial) gave a truly fascinating lecture on cameras in the court, including historic video clips from the Lindbergh kidnapping trial.

4. Heading home to make stir fried Mongolian lamb and scallions!

1. Secret promotion is now officially official!

2. Grilled beef ribs for dinner because the bf wants to make demi-glace tomorrow.

3. Can't think of a #3.

and

4. Went out to Mom's and did some chores, which made me feel very dutiful and helpful. She's recently been diagnosed with carpal tunnel in both wrists, so she was grateful to have someone bustling around prepping food, opening jars, washing sheets, and hauling heavy things.

5. Making cranberry-lemon biscotti for a family party with the outlaws tomorrow. Looks good!
