Staying up late and hopefully my first bit of music on here!!
Okay, I'm not going to write too much in case this doesn't work, but I've wanted to be able to post music on here for awhile, and also to be able to join in for WDKY's fabulous Musical Mondays, so I hope this works! And I think I might sometimes be adding music on days besides Mondays, at least at first - because there are so many songs I love!!!
Anyway, this first test song is Windfall by Son Volt, and it's such a pretty and cool song and I listen to it over and over again whenever I play it, and it's also good because it makes me think of Florida and Asparagus as I first heard the song a few months ago when I went to a Son Volt concert with them. So I love the song, I love Florida and Asparagus, and even though there are about 1,000 songs I thought about doing first, this is the one that won out today!
It's 2:32 a.m. on Friday morning right now, but I'm still going to date this from last night because that's just what I do. I stayed up late so I could actually get things done, and the middle of the night is when I'm able to focus. After work I went to a grocery store - a wonderful little store about eight to ten blocks down the street from me (I took the bus back to my place cause I would have died trying to carry the stuff all the way back in my heels). I love this store because it's so ethnic and has a huge amount of counter/refrigerator things where guys get the stuff for you (can you tell I'm not an expert grocery shopper?!), and I even waited and got some feta from the guy (there were five or six kinds of feta to choose from) and waiting and all that is a little out of my comfort zone so I was proud of my little extra effort there.
Well so anyway, I got some good food and some healthy stuff and some fruit and what not. And when I got home I tore up some of the fresh spinach and cut up some of the feta and put some walnut pieces in and had myself a salad. It was pretty good, so maybe I'll be able to make that sometimes. I didn't eat anything else but I had a huge lunch - there was a little retirement party at a restaurant in Greektown so The Meat, The Queen, Florida, Freckles, The Italian Chef and I all went. Tomorrow morning I could have yogurt, or an orange, or an English muffin. I think maybe I'll have the English muffin and bring a yogurt and an orange with me for lunch - it's a plan now!
Okay so anyway, after I got home from the grocery store it was almost 8 p.m. and I really wanted to be so productive and do all my dishes and vacuum, and also it's TIC's birthday on Saturday so I bought brownie mix to make brownies for her for tomorrow - and I'll be writing on it with frosting and putting some candles in there for her to blow out tomorrow afternoon! Well anyway, after I was good and made my salad and ate it on the couch, my butt didn't move back off the couch and suddenly it was almost midnight and I was getting so tired but I hadn't made the brownies yet, so I decided to just be productive. I made coffee and I spent an hour doing all the dishes and cleaning the kitchen, and then I made the brownies and while they were cooking I started putting blue tape around my dining room because I'm definitely going to paint that this weekend.
Now the brownies are all out and cooling so I can put the top on it and I'm going to go to bed very soon but first I need to exfoliate my face cause my skin is just rough in a couple places so that needs to be fixed!
Tomorrow after work I'm supposed to meet the guy whose son's pictures I took last night at the guy's boat downtown. It's kind of a weird situation because I don't understand it and I don't know yet what this guy is after or not after. But I sort of told him I'd go hang out for a bit and I feel like I'm being pursued by him in a way and that's making me a bit uncomfortable, but then again he could just be the friendly guy that he's holding himself out to be. Because after all, he did introduce me to his wife last night and we talked for awhile, and I chatted more with his 22-year-old daughter who I initially met on his boat. But I don't understand him hanging out with young girls and what's going on there. It's very odd. But because the boat is very close to my work I'll go for a little while right after work but then I'm leaving so I can get stuff done tomorrow night, and also I desperately need a mystic tan because I think it's suppose to be hot this weekend so I can't cover my white skin up with long sleeves.
Hmmm, there was something else that I wanted to talk about but now I can't think what it is. Oh well. This morning when I was walking to the train I passed a little house on a corner and the guy was mowing his little square of lawn, and the smell of the freshly cut grass was so absolutely amazing and made me so happy as I breathed in the scent over and over - I love little things like that! Oh and I accomplished one of the things I had to get done today - to call my student loan place and get a lower monthly payment and change my address and also apply to consolidate the two loans to lock in the rate before the rates go up on Saturday. I have a pretty small loan and I feel so so so good just to get this taken care of - it's the assignment my mom gave me for the week and she's been following up nicely every day and she even broke down the parts of the task for me - all because of this personality test and how she sees what I need now!
Okay, time for me to go to bed. I think it will be extra hard for me to get up in the morning, and that's saying a lot. Tomorrow night I really need to try to do at least a couple loads of laundry because it's getting desperate around here. And I'll also sweep and vacuum my place. And finish taping the dining room for painting. And then sleep in a little on Saturday morning!
