Primo

Today's the first of my official Spring Break Days Off Work. \m/ >_< \m/

Saturday was great, spent in the lovely company of [livejournal.com profile] anerys, [livejournal.com profile] nottygyspy and [livejournal.com profile] roya_spirit for most of Saturday. [livejournal.com profile] anerys introduced us to one of the best antique stores evar, and everyone was really patient with me while we searched around for a place I could eat (Injeera uses teff and wheat flour? So disappointing.).

Sunday, my body decided to remind me of my status as female in no uncertain terms and I spent most of the day on the couch with a book and a heating pad. Bleh. I got some cooking done (for me and for others) so it wasn't a complete loss, but still. Not the best way to start a vacation, even if it is a vacation at home.

Today I hope to do the laundry that should have been done yesterday, make curtains for the living room, and perhaps go to KC for a large-ish purchase that I probably shouldn't be buying but I simply can't not buy one of these things. [livejournal.com profile] anerys, I'm looking right at you because this is all your fault. Yours and that evilly seductive chair of yours.

Projects for this week include: Organizing more of [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick's Magic cards, alphabetizing the bookshelves, finding a way to arrange things in the house so they are more accessible and easy to find, arranging for a thorough housecleaning (by a professional), and, yes, making time to chill out.

I'm also going to get my hair trimmed and shaped. I'm still letting it grow out, but the back is driving me crazy because I feel like I have a mullet. I'm going to talk to the stylist about a fluffy bob cut. Until my hair gets past my shoulders, it's going to be a fluffy anything, so I might as well play to my strengths here.

Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas about where to find similar reproductions of the Shoes Of Great Beauty. I might look into that eventually.

It's 8:45 and I am still in my bathrobe. Awesome.

It's repeating pretty well so far...

You're great. :)

Thank you. =) And really, so is my hair. I'm very lucky to have great hair.

Your hair and mine have opposite problems. Mine's just kind of laying there, fine and flaccid. I'd give anything to have lush, thick hair.

I really do appreciate what I've got. Early on in our relationship, my hair and I decided to compromise on what we each wanted out of life, and it's worked out pretty well. Other than the fact that it's going gray a little earlier than I would have liked, I've got no real complaints.

I had a great time Saturday too.

So wish I were having a spring break. For some reason last night I woke up every hour on the hour! Blech.

Yay for good girl time on Saturday!

And can I please have a copy of the pic you used for this icon? Thank you!!!!!

Oh yeah, it was from my birthday, I will ask Kent if he can e-mail it to you today so I don't forget!

Ah, spring break! One of the reasons to hang out where school is a priority!

where school is a priority

*snort*

And that would be where, exactly? =b

On March 30 I fully expect to still be in bed at noon. Perhaps with a hangover after a weekend bender.

I am made of evil shopping mischeif!

No, no, darling, wonderful shopping mischief!

Yeah! Spring Break! Enjoy... So far I am enjoying mine completely and will have a hard body as a result!

Your strengths are strong! Go with them!
