How I Get To Work

Ordered!

Pink laptop is on the way! (I'm sitting at home on a conference call so why not shop! Gotta love customers in India/Singapore).

This Sums Up My Day

I Iz Klutz

My arm is numb. From my elbow to my fingertips. Yesterday in a cleaning frenzy I slammed my elbow into the sticking out deadbolt on our basement door. I hit the funny bone square on and my arm went numb. I have movement back and most of the feeling but it is still a bit tingly and if I turn my arm a certain way pain shoots to the finger tips. I hate being clumsy. Really I do.

A Weekend for Me!

This weekend has been awesome. Mainly because I've done absolutely what I wanted to do. Drank Chocolate Martinis with Christy, went to bed early, got up early, I read my magazines, I shopped, I visited Kellibird, I talked on the phone, I cleaned the house, and I'm about 10 minutes away from ordering my pink laptop (well maybe, tough decision). Chris is out of town at the 20th anniversary of Boys Weekend at Anderson Island. I took advantage of his absence by doing all the little things that I've let pile up. Feels awesome, but I'm really glad he'll be coming home in a few hours - the kitties and I miss him like crazy. Percy has been whining for 2 days straight and Ares keeps running around the house looking for him and talking to himself. He sounds like a little kid cussing under his breath. I think I'll go put up more Halloween decorations.

I Covet: Part II

OMG (yes I just used the phrase OMG)- I have found it. The perfect laptop for me. Pink. Cosmopolitan Pink. Sony. Vaio. They'll donate money to Brest Cancer research. Free shipping. 12 months no interest. Pink....and Sony. I'm having a hard time not buying it right now. A really hard time. I even called Chris and told him to "talk me out of it". He tried, but not very hard. I think he wants me to get it. Deep down, secretly. Mainly because then I'll shut up about it.

I Covet

I have a very strong desire to order a pink laptop. I've actually been thinking that I'd like a personal laptop for home. So I can blog from anywhere, shop from bed, read bloglines in the backyard, etc. But yesterday I found out that they make pink laptops. And blue, green, brown, yellow, red, etc........but pink! And for some reason, now I must have one.

When I was little I hated pink. Pink was putting me in a category I didn't think I belonged in. My mom always claims that my hatred for pink stemmed from me getting something like 100 pink dresses when I was born. I'm pretty sure I don't remember that, but I guess that could be why.

Either way, I've outgrown that hatred, and for some reason now I must have things in pink. Including a laptop that I really don't "need" but that I now really really "want". Really. Bad.

New Adventure

Today was a first for me. I had an appointment in Bellevue this morning and I decided that I didn't want to drive over there and try to find parking, I'd rather take the bus. So I got up at my normal time, and caught my normal bus downtown, but instead of walking up to work I headed to the bus tunnel (1 block) and caught an Express 550 to Bellevue! Door to door it took me about 1 hour. I've always shied away from Bellevue because I don't like to drive and the bus ride was an unknown, but now it is known. Bellevue here I come! (well not really, but it is fun to say)
