Sweater Grrrl
Day 11 in the Land of Sanity
I apologize to all the Carpenters fans out there...but it's raining. And it's Monday. And now that feepin' song is stuck in my head!
Oh man, I am tired. This morning is dragging big-time. Back at work, and I forgot to bring my iPod, so I can’t even listen to music to pep me up!
I do have some good news, however- I finally figured out how to get my new digital camera to work. So there are now pictures of the infamous yoga bag and the fluffy scarf, which will be faithfully uploaded tonight. And I have an interview with another department at work today! So I may be escaping the craziness of my current job. I’m just happy that I didn’t show up in sweats today , because I seriously considered it.
I seem to be on a self-improvement kick-or at least, I am trying to be less of a slack-ass about my personal appearance. I got my nails & toes done, the hair is next (as well as another facial). I’m also trying to be less lazy about my clothing and styling my hair- but I have been in kind of a slump, and it shows. I realized with horror when I went to go get my pedicure that I couldn’t remember the last time I had shaved my legs. Eek! Let’s just say that I am not planning on letting things get that far gone ever again.
So the morning has ticked by, and it’s almost time for lunch. I just finished a lovely green apple with peanut butter (because there are still renegade Krispy Kremes floating around the office) I did ritualistically throw out two of them: they had made it through the holiday weekend due to pre-Christmas sugar overload and were still sitting, petrified, in their little box this morning.
Another thing I am trying to work on is organization. My office is chaotic, and since the biggest part of my job is staying on top of everything- well, let’s just say that flying from crisis to crisis has definitely taken its toll. At home, AND at work. So I am in negotiations for a new set of bookshelves at home, and have been cleaning up my desk at work to improve the flow of work and paper. (Also, my ulterior motive is to leave no incriminating evidence, juuuuust in case I am hired elsewhere!)
So my brain is beginning to feel less cluttered. Which is definitely a good thing.
Next project- shawl for the lady (Pearl) at the doctor’s office. Since I am still waiting for the measurements for the dog sweater. (hint hint, Dave….) If I don’t get that, I am going to start on the drop stitch shell from the SN’B book. I have some mohair that I want to use!
OK- it’s now after lunch, and I am getting mentally prepared for my interview…wish me luck!
