I so adore the blanket my brother gave me from his house.
And so does Charo.
We've always had a problem with Charo sleeping under the covers with us and she gets really aggressive in the middle of the night if we move around too much - like biting and scratching aggressive. It's actually a big problem we've ignored for too long. But, anyway, I noticed how much she loves the blanket on the couch so the other night i brought it into the bedroom and laid it on top of the comforter and she slept on it - above our covers - all night! And has done so since - YAY!
So, here's the anti-climatic picture from yesterday.
just me cuddling with the blanket.
so soft and warm.
So, yesterday I walked 8,242 steps which translates to be 3.77 miles.
Not quite the 10,000 goal but not too shabby.
If i had gone to the gym i would've surpassed the goal i think!
So, that was a pretty standard day for me - walked the dog and both ways to the MARTA. I love this little pedometer - it has a memory of the last 5 days and resets itself at midnight back to zero.
This morning when i was walking to work I almost got hit by a car. I sooooo had the right of way - i double checked that i had the pedestrian sign and i did. Interestingly enough the first thing I yelled was "Hey fucktard!" and that kinda surprised me. I thought maybe my first instinct would be "fuck you" or "what the fuck" - like I can't remember when the word "fucktard" has even entered my vocabulary before?
Anyway my first thought was a little disappointment cause i was like, well, if i had been hit, then i wouldn't have to go to work, right? but then i thought it through and weighed the options and would much rather be able to walk and be healthy than not go to work. Plus i left my phone at home today and feel so naked without it and if i had got hit i would've been fucked cause i don't know anyone's phone number - hell i barely know my own when asked!
Last night I "watched" Idol with my friend Matthew via text message. It was like old times. *sigh*
I'm sooooooo glad that stripper guy got booted - he was uber-annoying. Actually i never saw a whole performance of his cause i always muted it after the first seconds. Although that Dolly-wannabe chick was excrutiating too (i think i got through 10 secs of her performance) - Fox proablably rigged the votes so they could avoid stripper guys controversy and she'll go next week.
I'm not sure who i like the most now, also this was the first full show i've watched so i don't have a lot of history to base this on. I like the blonde girl who sang Let It Be but can also see that shtick getting *yawn* fast. I loved what Chickezie did to the song - boy does he have some expectations to live up to next week - and they're doing Lennon-McCartney again?! Wow. And OMG they need to get rid of that call in segment - can you say FLOP and give me back that 5 minutes of my life please?
Man, i feel pissed off.
Which sucks cause i wasn't in a bad mood earlier.
I think almost getting hit, getting to work with 100 emails about stupid shit and knowing i have to attend another session of that .xml class is making me pissy. I resent having my time wasted.
Oh and speaking of my brother (wait, was i?) he hasn't got his work visa yet! again! so now he's not leaving (again) on Friday. All he has in his condo now is a mattress and his computer and a small TV. Poor guy. He rebooked his flight for 3/28. damn now THAT is anticlimatic.
HOROSCOPE TIME:
Keep busy today, even if you have to resort to cleaning out the closets or reorganizing your sock drawer! Serious boredom is a horrible thing to endure, and if you don't have enough to do right now, you could fall into a blue funk. You have to use your creativity in order to keep your good vibes going. Personal relationships are becoming more valuable in helping you stay happy, so use your creativity in them. Why not write a pal a poem or sing them a silly song on their voice mail?Can i get an amen?
How do i keep busy sitting through a training session about a subject that bores me to tears and that i will NEVER give a second thought to ever again? It's only me and one other person so i can't doodle or surf the net or do anything but stare blankly at the projection screen and scream in my head. Love the line about creativity though. Love it.
