5 things

5 Things I'm using as happy thoughts today:

1 - Jem and the Holograms on youtube;

2 - Coming up with a few rakets and ideas;

3 - What I had for lunch and merienda;

4 - C giving me a lovely umbrella;

5 - Meeting up with one of my best friends for dinner at her house.

Rainy rainy day

Had a great night last night. Saw a lot of my friends in the scene and even ended up singing with them for the jamming that happened after. I didn't go into work today, since it's a holiday. I figure I can just make up my absence on Monday by going in on Saturday. I like going in on Saturdays anyway, there's no one there and you can get stuff done...or just play games.

Then again, I've a lot of things to do at home on Saturday...BUT! I can always do them later. And the flat won't be too messy since the weekly cleaning lady will be coming in on Friday. That will give me time to work on my story instead, and maybe even buy the materials I need for my painting/s (not sure if there will be more than one just yet). Then I have a dinner with friends on that evening. FANTASTIC! Osso bucco! :)

For now, I've just finished off putting the groceries away and more or less figured out what dinner is....SOOOOO I may as well just get a nap in.

See you tomorrow!

PS. It just started up raining all over again with a wonderful breeze. This will be the best nap ever!!!!

She is becoming my new favorite

This goes up with Oh, Mishka! and Taza and Husband blogs. :) Top three!

Back to work Tuesday

And I will repost from my other blog today's entry:

Just to help keep it in my head...MUST DO THE FOLLOWING BY FRIDAY:

- must clean out the kitty boxes (ah but this I must do every DAY since there are TWO of them that poop up a storm);
- must clean out the plastic plant boxes;
- must get soil from landscaper's down the street and more seedlings;
- get some basil seedlings / flowers from Ludos with the permission of Jerome;
- wash the dishes; also an everyday affair (yak!);
- clean out the fridge for any stray leftovers that haven't been eaten and cook those that are still good and not rotting;
- pick up laundry (or have it delievered?);
- Move all accounts that can be moved to BPI from BDO by Thursday at the latest
- BUY COUSCOUS! BUY LAMB FROM CAO!
- do something clever with the small amount of pasta in the cupboard;
- Say prayers every night for *that* which you are hoping for...and pray that karma will not bite you in the rear;
- Try and get on with those paintings, lyrics (for the Marshas), and final storyline (for Apol).

Damn. That's a lot to do...I know I can I know I can....

We don't have work tomorrow and I'm debating whether or not I'll come in for "extra credit" or come in on Saturday instead. I think I'll come in tomorrow but be late since I'm going out tonight. Wow, that's another thing I haven't done in a while: SEE A BAND!!!

I miss my friends in the music scene and I can't wait to hang out with them later, even just for a while. Must control the beer tonight though so I don't feel retched tomorrow (damn you, age!). One or 4 may be fine. hahaha! Good thing about all this is that at least I'll have a ride home because my bandmate loves me! Go Conch aka Mrs. T! :)

I'm happy too that I got to finish an article today at the last minute. I didn't cram it, it was just that we had a miscommunication about the length of the article. They were asking for 6000 characters and NOT the 600 which I heard. At least I did it fast and efficiently...I hope that counts for something and that they like it. I'm pretty sure I edited that sucker.

It's almost end of the day. I can't wait to head over to Ludos and get the salad that they are testing out! I've already tasted two of them, and I honestly like them both, but perhaps the steak salad will win tonight over the salmon.

Talk tomorrow!

Not so manic Monday

Had a whole bunch of scotch to drink last night and I now have the hangover munchies. Must be good tomorrow and rest of the week. URG URG URG.

At least I got to sleep in a spare room with C at the hotel in our friend's wedding! Wow, those pillows are unbelievably awesome, and the matress and the duvet. *sigh* HEAVEN. Sheer heaven. Waking up wasn't so bad after such a heavy drinking night in those sheets, but they really are harder to get out of. A nice long hot hotel shower was just fantastic though and I felt rejuvinated after, just needed some grub. Pepper Lunch was the best place for it, though because of the smoking plate you smell sorta like your food.

Anyway, I'm off to nurse this hangover with a nice, ice cold coke :)
