Get away, and come with me…

Hi chickens!!! I am back, and I am sorry I have been gone for so long. The flu is no fun, but I feel mostly over it now, although I keep getting tired, but we’ll see how that goes. Today was a holiday at my school, so I have one more day of rest before I have to go back to work tomorrow. And what did I spend that non-sick day off doing, you ask?

10:24 – Woke up, after snoozing the alarm a few times, because I knew that if I didn’t get up soon I wouldn’t be tired by 10, and if I wasn’t tired by 10 I wouldn’t get the right amount of sleep tonight before I go back to work tomorrow. It was hard to get up because I was tired, warm, and having a strange dream, but I did it.

10:30-11 – Ate a bowl of Kix cereal and watched the Barefoot Contessa make lunch for the Historical Society.

11 – Put the bowl in the sink, kicked on the tunes, and cleaned my room, my closet, and hung up all my clothes. Swept the bedroom floor.

12 – Swept under the couches after realizing that I still couldn’t find my camera, and no, it was not in the couch OR under the couch but you know what WAS under the couch HAIR HAIR HAIR so I cleaned in.

12:15 – Found the camera. It was in my backpack all along. Which I had already checked. Twice. Took all the clothes out of the bathroom that were drying over the bathtub side and hung those too. Took 2 of Jeff’s hangers in the process. Shhh! Don’t tell him.

12:26 – Sat down on the couch, disgusted with my house. Got up and swept the living room, hallway, cleaned off the broom, and went through the papers on the hallway bookshelf.

1:10 – Got an email from Jeff saying he was about to go on lunch, and would I like it if he came home for lunch?

1:15 – Updated facebook with the freshly uploaded pictures that were on my camera.

1:20 – Into the shower, after ordering lunch from Village.

1:45 – Dressed, clean, on the couch, reading NYTimes, CNN, and LATimes.

2:00 – Jeff’s home! Lunch time.

2:45 – Jeff’s gone. Dishes from last night’s dinner.

3:00 – Pester Corelyn to come home! already, so we can watch Everwood. Clean off coffee table.

3:30 – Light some candles. Put on some tunes. Read Real Simple September and October. Smile.

3:40 – Reset the time on the coffee maker, and set some decaf to brew at 4:10, hopefully around Corelyn’s arrival home.

4:00 – Write this blog entry, help a friend pick out shoes, and listen to Carbon Leaf.

4:23 – Check Carbon Leaf’s website. Realize they have a new CD. Get excited.

So there you have it, friends. My day off. Now, I’m just waiting for Corelyn to get here, already!!

My heart losing ground (slowing down)

The other night I went with two of my Kasteel Muffins (the ladies I studied abroad with) to Amoeba. Traci and Caitlin had never been, and I was horrified. After a full day (including the Getty Center, pictures to come) we headed to Amoeba, myself ready to buy nothing.
Alas…

I bought:

– Tantric’s “Tantric”
– An old James CD I didn’t have, “New Moon Shine”
– Finlay MacDonald’s CD (Celtic)
– Paul Simon’s “Surprise”
– Aqualung’s “Strange & Beautiful”

Five new CDs. $13.13. Lucky me. 🙂

There is a man testing the fire alarm.

Today is the day when they test the fire alarms at my job, and there is a man here who is going to test them.

As such, I cannot focus on work, and instead am going to update you!

So, friends, how have you been? Sorry I’ve been absent for a while, I got a little distracted with work, coming home after a bit of a crazy office space, and working to organize myself in time for the beginning of the school year. So woot! to that.

Things I’ve been loving lately:

1. Body Language by Jesse McCartney

2. Abraham by The Kin
