Happy Friday

Fri Sep 30 09:49:16 EDT 2005
Whee--I worked from home yesterday--and today is Happy Friday! I am so happy the weekend is coming up and there is this great fall weather! I will definitely have to reorganize all of my closets. I am really excited to rotate my wardrobe. And... IKEA is opening up soon in Stoughton, MA -- on Nov. 9!! I am SOOOOO insanely happy about that, WHEEEE. And, I am going to amsterdam in November as well! So many great things are coming up--and maybe a new job soon! :)

Day Off

Thu Sep 22 12:59:19 EDT 2005
Took a day off! A must needed day of rest and relaxation! Actually, not doing much rest or relaxation... moreso doing a lot of chores!! Went grocery shopping this morning, washed my car, cleaned my grill. Now I'm eating Cheerios (since I cleaned out my pantry and realized that these Cherrios expire in 5 days). The rest of the day, I have to clean the first floor, clean the kitchen, clean my room and my bathroom, organize my dvds... I had wanted to clean the third floor (a.k.a, "the closet"), but I don't think I'll have time!! Ok... maybe I should take another day off next week. :) Oh yeah--I also need to re-group and put together my resume and call back some recruiters. ;)

I saw a bear! ... I think

Wed Sep 21 08:59:24 EDT 2005
I think I saw a bear yesterday! Was driving through Concord and took a wrong turn ... but GPS led the way, through a regular neighborhood--houses right there, sidewalks, etc. But--I saw a bear right outside someone's house! OK, it might have been a dog... but the nose and face and body was very bear like (overly furry, etc.). It was smaller than I thought a bear would be... so maybe it was an adolescent bear. My first bear siting!

Poofy Pink Vest

Whee, I got this awesome North Face vest (in pink). It rocks. I wish it were colder so I could wear it! Yeah... so, less headaches today. I think it is because I've decided that either I should give up stuff at work, or I am done when I'm done. :) It takes a good deal of load off. Do I smell banana?

Headache, again

I have a headache again today... I really think it is from work! Well, more chinese herbal remedy tonight... and then we will see what happens. SIGH.

Babysitting

Sat Sep 17 21:19:27 EDT 2005
Took care of three kiddies today! :) Umm, at a lot of chicken on a stick and hotdogs--so, I feel kinda gross. Oh well. And! planning trip to Amsterdam for the middle of November. I am sooo insanely happy and excited to go. Still been getting headaches--now I consider them as migraines. Not sure what the cause is--but must be something that has just been happening now (maybe I should get a new job).

Migraines

Fri Sep 16 15:42:45 EDT 2005
Have had migraines the last couple of days. Motrin bottle says: take 1 caplet every 4 to 6 hours... Brandy takes 3. Motrin bottle says: do not exceed 6 in 24 hours. Brandy takes 2 more (3 + 2 < 6). Where's my bottle of Aleve?...

Ghetto Fabulous Shopping

Fri Sep 16 09:32:13 EDT 2005
Hello, everyone! Candy and I were looking at t-shirts in Kohl's the other day. (Yes, we were actually in Kohl's!) Some of the best were, "I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter." and "You're so dumb." I did think of some that I would like to make, like "I want to hit you right now." Well, that's all the news from the ghetto fabulous shopping world.

Montreal

Fri Sep 2 09:38:03 EDT 2005
Hmm--update from my trip to Montreal! It was pretty fun. My favorite parts were: the Roots store, underground city shopping (and the foodcourt), breakfasts (found two really awesome breakfast places), the duty free shop, and SAQ (the liquor store).

Cool thing about the SAQ (one of the major highlight of the trip). We had to "Press the Red Button" to go through this door in to this really cool wine cellar room and up some stairs to another part of the store. I dunno--I guess any door where you have to press a button to open it (especially when it is red), is cool.
