Today is Wednesday, a lovely day! In which I am determined to get things shipshape! And of course, since duty calls and I must work on Friday so lots and lots of people can get a paycheck (including myself XD ahem), I am taking today off instead. Glorious!
In trying to recap what has been going on lately I can't really sum up the life experience so I will just go about it anecdotally and hope it will suffice.
I have been on a mad ebook kick spawned by the saving of lots of monies to purchase an iPad. I know, I've been obsessing about this for awhile, but with finances becoming secure it looks like this will absolutely become a reality in less than a week, barring some sort of catastrophe. Project Gutenberg has been beautiful music in feeding my ancient book hunger. I've downloaded about 65-70 books from them, free, and pdf'd them to transfer to ye olde iPad upon its purchase.
OH ALSO. I have found the most awesome case. It's simple, black, and just a cover (no bells or whistles at all) but I also had it engraved with the United Federation of Planets logo XD Yes, I am a huge nerd. But it's fairly obscure and only the true die-hard nerds will comprehend, and ergo fangirl with me. It's like a giant divining wand of TNG retardation. LOVE IT.
I have also become obsessed with Scentsy as of late. Particularly ebaying Scentsy, as a means of curbing both my Scentsy addiction and my ebay addiction. Having extra money does not help this at all, by the way. I'm just like YAY I CAN BUY ALL OF THESE FRAGRANT THINGS. I have a small one for work that arrived Monday night, but as my extra scent (Central Park Pralines, which is pecan-y and syrupy sweet) didn't come until last night I won't be able to torture show it off to coworkers until Monday. Sigh.
Work is amazing. I have the best bunch of coworkers imaginable, my boss is the nicest guy ever, and I am finally making a paycheck without the burden of credit card debt. Although HELLO STUDENT LOANS. I can't wait to start taking a chunk out of those.
I can't think of anything else particularly interesting. I attempted Nanowrimo this year, got about 2k words, and then realized I have hit my activity threshold. My little dog + grad school + housewifely duties + work all tugging at my arms means I need more arms, which of course is physically impossible. So Nano will be on the back burner this year, but maybe this time next year my schedule will be a little less impaired.
It's supposed to be COLD and possibly rainy today, but we are going to buy Christmas presents for little brother as he is going to New York soon to be a fabulous actor again. He was in South Carolina but stopped into wee fair Abilene to be the Snow King in the Nutcracker and an Arabian (well, THE Arabian) in Lubbock's production but then he is trekking off to notoriety unknown. Someday he will be on Broadway so we have to give him these little bits of Christmas early, you know. Being well versed in the art of melding one's holiday around work I can comprehend.
So. I hear the rustlings of impatient Pom in the other room, and thankfully he has been quiet thus far, but I probably shouldn't tempt him further. I hope everyone has a safe and most excellent Thanksgiving weekend! I promise I will think about attempting to update more :P
