the smoldering that used to be

today i am going through tissues like men. heh.

my zune does indeed work again.

i have a spoiled rotten cat with her own water fountain.

i am hiding under my electricy blanket of warm and squishy doom.

i am feeling unsure of the next step but will take it anyway.

the thermometers only make me feel colder.

tv's are expensive.

i almost failed at wedding date again.

hetero-lifemates rock. (:3

i dont know what i want to do for my birthday this year.

and

snow! how you plague my
commute. i want to go home.
yet, i am now stuck.

******

well, most of my xmas shopping is done.
still need to get one or two things for dad. and since mom is getting a couch, just need to figure out which one. (ugh, this means payments. not looking forward to that. but mom will be contributing somewhat. i am just making the initial big chunk of payment.)

i am very much patting myself on the back for 2 very cool super awesome totally perfect gifts purchased today. woot!

mostly today has been spent fekking around with a slow ass computer. i think my desktop is posessed. nothing was working. it seems okay now...but....

anyone know where to get a good/cool/average proced coffee bean grinder?

i am way behind on writing anything.
there's just too much going on.

i did manage to get keys to my new digs. i'll be roommates with bud stud bill...woot!
course, i'll be too busy the next few weeks to actually do an all at once move.
oh well. soon.

this weekend blacksun festival in CT
next weekend NYRF
weekend after that ktpinto's book release party
weekend after that rounder's rhythm and roots festival
then 2 weekends of KRF

and then holy shit its november!!!
and thats when my brother is visiting

so, if i dont want to be all that social for the next few months....please forgive me.
(:3

the car is coming home by the weekend. i cant drive off with it until the title is in hand at the dealership. it was only there for 2 days before i test drove it...so it hadnt come in yet.

tonight is belly dancing. (:3 while i dont feel especially connect with the teacher or the girls in the class, i still enjoy it. i am terrible at remembering the order of the steps. and so, i dont get much choice in having a partner. its like grade school all over again! q:3

luckily, i dont really care. i just go to shake.

plans are developing to maybe take a friday off and go to six flags. if it works out, i will be thrilled. heh.

this weekend is motorcycle weekend! woo-hoo! with lionstar! woo-hoo!

still on this fekking plateau. ive been monitoring results. i think i might actually have to start eating salad every night. blecch. i like salad. just dont know how well i can stick to having it every night. *sigh* maybe even a week or two of it will help. feh.

not much new in the job world. i am still applying for things. still no call back from BMG, so i think thats out for sure. man, i need a change! i havnt lost faith that something will turn up. and i have lots of people lookin out for me. id be happy to share my résumé if anyone thinks they know someone....*hint* (:3 i'll move anywhere pretty much if the job is good enough.

this week at work i am getting soooo much done! its great...no interruptions every 5 minutes for me to print stuff or answer phones or get talked to like a 12 year old. woot!

i guess thats mostly all.
(:3
hope everyone has an awesome day!!!

car loan/refinancing approved...though....i may still try to get a different car. but i may not. i may put up with uncle monte for anouther year at least. (pending BMG, which i'm starting to feel isnt going to happen.)

got my health club rebate from BCBS. but then managed to spend it on a cute new outfit that i might wear this weekend. (okay, i didnt spend all of it....but a decent chunk.)

i still need to get a few more things for the moto class. like gloves. i could use my winter ones, but they'll be tooo warm methinks. i dont have rain gear. i may wait to see how the weather is supposed to be and either buy or not right before. i'd like to get a pair of goggles, but i do have sunglasses i can use.

still stuck on the weight loss plateau. though i do feel i am doing better. lots of gym time...and that website i found is really keeping me aware of what i eat. i do have a sodium problem. feh. but, the weight is mostly staying down. just need to put a bit more ooommmphh in it. and the gym is making me feel better and my muscles are looking a bit more toned. definitely still fleshy all around though...not sure i ever wont be! (:3 but i'm okay with that...i dont get that whole anorexia thing.

eatin lunch under the gaze of a crazy lookin goose can be interesting. it got pretty close...i thought for sure i was gonna loose a finger. it wanted my pb&j.

and, scene.

walden pond was beautiful this morning. still kind of shiny from remaining ice patches. trees still bare, bright white sky.

it helped my morning. which seemed to have gone all wrong when i woke up way early in the pain of leg cramps in my calves. theyre still sore. guess i didnt stretch enough post-workout. or maybe i was a little too excited about my muscato.

the scale is finally going in the right direction again. slowly. i could be doing better. trying to work on that.

i added another percent to my 401k contribution. still dreadfully low for my age, but since i got that jumbo humongo raise* i figured i should up the stakes.

(*dammit, there is still no font for sarcasm...)

still going strong with the no ice cream thing. but i'll tell you, it sucks. especially since they opened the dairy queen at the end of my street a few days ago.

today i'm leaving work early to do something important for myself. i'm not telling yet, but wish me some good vibage this afternoon, okay? thanks!

well, time to assemble venue sales....have a great day all of you!

*92 page manual for motorcycle riding according to the mass rmv printed out =check!

*nick of time registration for belly dance class which begins tomorrow night-eep! = check!
(hip hop class was full....and now i'm really broke...)

*tour dates updated on company website =check!

*except for one tiny reese's egg, remaining on nutritionist's plan =check!
(course the day is still young....i have faith though)

*résumés reviewed by a supervisor type person i trust, with a grade of "excellant!" =check!


whew. i got a lot done today!
including random posts on shoes, and work, and freak 5 minutes blizzards.
(:3
next up, finishing my ginormous cup of water and heading home!
(where i am going to be a good doobie and hit the gym...)

these days are always rough. they are rainy and grey and on the chilly side. they make me want to stop functioning in the proper way, put on comfy pj's (if i owned any), and just go "feh" on the bed with craptastic movies on.
...and oh yeah, i want to eat lots of cheetos.
which is really weird, since i havent had any of those in many many years.

it's kind of chilly at work today too.
the detriment of living in a basement? you never really know what the weather's going to be like and maybe one out of 20 times you dont dress appropriately. *sigh*

( today's duh! award... )

dancing tomorrow at dark intentions is a go. not sure when i'm getting there...still need to work out the details. yay! should be a decent group of folks joining in.
must make sure to dance a lot and get some extra exercise in. hoping to maybe go dancing once a month at least after faire is over.

sunday is a day with jay. if it's nice out, its a kayak trip...if it rains or is cold, we are taking an excursion to the boston museum of science....cause we're both dorks.

must force myself to concentrate on working....feh...

i successfully navigated harvard square traffic both ways!

i am a goddess!
