Today I stopped at Dunkin on the way to work to get an iced coffee for a Friday treat. There was no ice in it. WTF?
I've decided to take the afternoon off. 80 degrees and sunny? Who wants to be stuck in a cube? I'm going to buy new makeup. If you've known me for any length of time you probably think I'm lying, but I'm not.
We didn't get to do P90X last night and I feel guilty, even though we're making up for it tonight. C didn't get home from his trip until much later than he thought he would, and I'm afraid of the basement so I didn't want to work out alone. How sad is that?
When C is out of town I also stay up as late as I can, until I'm so tired that I fall asleep the second my head hits the pillow. I use the TV and the interwebs to keep me company until then. That way there's less time lying in the dark thinking about someone hiding out in my closet.
I've been devouring novels lately and it's really awesome. I forgot how great it is to read. The day after I finished Oryx and Crake someone told me that there was a follow-up, so I ordered it used from Amazon and read it in three days. Just couldn't put it down. It's called The Year of the Flood. While I was googling for the book I found a picture of the author (Margaret Atwood). She looks absolutely nothing like the person I had pictured in my mind. Funny how that works sometimes.
Now I'm reading a book called Prep. Started it on Wednesday and will probably stay up and finish it tonight and tomorrow night. Thanks to my friend Alison for all of her awesome book recommendations!
After I get some new makeup I'm going to browse Half Price Books. I just decided that. Great way to spend an hour. Then I'll pick up Toddler C after his nap is over and we'll play outside.
Last night's Yankee game was televised. I could watch nothing but baseball and be perfectly content with life. I still think it's the most beautiful thing to watch on an HD TV. <3 watching Robbie Cano hit those balls out of the park!
Finally, the best quote from last night's episode of The Office:
Michael: I can't stop myself from kissing her.
Kevin: Now you know how I feel sitting next to those M&Ms all day!
I can't believe that Steve Carell is leaving the show after next season! It can't go on without him, and I'm really going to miss it :(
