Wishy Washy Wednesday

 Since I live in the tropics, when we say that it's "typhoon seaon" it means that there will be a very, VERY good chance that roads will be clogged, traffic will ensue and it will take you an extra hour to get to where you want to go than the usual ONE HOUR. 

So today, when I dragged myself out of bed, and it was STILL raining, as it has been for 2 days now, I knew, I KNEW whatever I wore will be supremely bad judgement.  ANYTHING.  And true enough, everything was soaked.  So today, I took it upon myself to order a pair of lovely rainboots, something I've actually been thinking of for a while, but today have acted on.  So here.  These boots will soon be mine.

Aren't they purrrty?  Plueys. 

Aside from this, I completely forgot my drumsticks at home, a first time for me.  When I realised it, I totally panicked in the car and if it weren't for the facts that it was 1) raining with no visibility at ALL and 2) we were on the highway already, I would have totally made C go back THROUGH all that flooding to get it.

Anyway, good thing my friend who owns the studio has his sticks and will be there later, so I can just borrow them.  Thank the heavens we use the same weight sticks!  I wouldn't want my wrists to die in the middle of a song.  Or at all actually.  I need them for blogging!

Earlier this year, I have been reintroduced to the Little House books, and have fallen in love with them all over again.  I have tapped so much into the whole pioneer lifestyle of yesteryear, that I now would like this pair of boots from Frye:

I would however, maybe cut it down to mid calf.  I'm on the short side and I'm not sure I can rock the tallness of the boot.  Maybe a wee little bit off the heel too.  I'm strictly a sneakers girl.  If I haven't mentioned it on this blog yet, I will do so now:  I declare that I am not, repeat NOT a "heels" girl.  I am a sneaker/trainers/rubber shoes girl.  I love my Converse and that is what I  usually wear on a daily basis and is the ONLY pair I drum with.  Unfortunately, because of this weather ransacking my poor country, and since these shoes are made of canvas.....well, you see the problem.  Hence the rainboots that I'm getting that I have previewed up there. 

I also wish I had had half the mind to bring "These Happy Golden Years" from the Little House series with me today so that I could finish (refinish?) reading it tonight while waiting for this rain to ease up.  *sigh*  Can't have everything I suppose. 

Thankful

Thinking Tuesday

Despite having no mulah to buy a decent cup of joe, I am now going to attempt to set myself a mission for the week. This is to finally, gradually and carefully inventory all the stuff I have to share and sell to people. 

I have old pieces of clothing, accessories that have accumulated throughout my 31 years on this earth and some must find new homes.  A garage sale doesn't just cut it, since there are some stuff that are actually really pretty, they just don't fit me anymore, or are hardly used.  So I can't really sell them for too low either, especially the designer stuff.  So I will finally bite the bullet and take the time and inventory it all and post them up this week.  I MUST I MUST.  It has been sitting around for way too long because of too many excuses. 

I will do this.  I can do this.  I will be strong and not be horizontal.  No amount of cute meowing of my kitties will not deter me from this mission. 

EGAD.  Look at that cuteness.  I can't stand it!!!

MUST. BE. STRONG.  MUST. MAKE. THIS. HAPPEN.  If only to buy these two the much needed litter they've depleted.

Damn they're cute.  I will be strong.

I will also find ways to occupy myself AT HOME.  I will make a dent in the pile of books that are waiting for me at home, as well as try and do DVD marathons.  :)  That won't cost me much, right?  At least I'll educate my mind as well as my um, vision.  hahahaha!  Things are looking better as the day goes on.  Here's hoping this stupid cough and cold will go away soon as well.  :(

Moderation Monday

I'm personally thanking the heavens that on Friday night, today was declared a non-working holidiay. WHEW.  Now I can get over this stupid sickness that's been brought about by just too much going out.  I have realised that YES.  I am not as young as I used to be and however much my mind is willing, the body cannot (and will dig its heels in if it has to), and WILL not follow.  Even if I cajole it with a nice midnight snack to soften the blow. 

So today I have decided to schedule my yearly alcohol fast, wherein one whole month, I will not drink alcohol.  Now this may seem natural to you, and that I'm just being an alcoholic, but it's true, most times I go out, I tend to have a beer, or four.  Each year, I try and remedy that by giving my liver a break before the MAJOR holidays and take a month off.  I've decided that this year it will be done by end of this month and it'll run into October.

I'll make sure though that by Halloween, I can have a beer again.  I am planning a prod after all for around that time.  I'd like to be able to drink at least A LITTLE.  I should just moderate it PERIOD. 

I have done NOTHING of what I set out to do this weekend, except for help with the dinner that we had on Saturday night here in the house.  I made the salad and the mash, which went great with E's chicken.  WOW. His chicken was the best thing he's ever cooked.  EVER. 

Anyway, I will rest up today because I feel so so awful and get on with my week tomorrow when everything opens again. :)  I hope by that time I'll be ok too.
