A little disheveled but otherwise fine. Tabs woke me up from a dead sleep twice last night, both times using my stomach as a springboard. He’s been doing it a lot lately, and I can’t lie — it’s starting to get a little played out.
I think so. I took a typing class back in high school and 14 years of piano lessons. Now I type pretty well, except when it comes to the numbers… I still have to glance up at those.
Red velvet with cream cheese frosting, YUM!
I vaguely recall my parents, who are both accountants, making me frame the check.
Purring cats, the sound of waves gently rolling against the shore of an empty beach, accordion music, the sound of drip coffee brewing, mah jong tiles clacking against a hard table, wind rustling through the trees.
The big box filled with clothes from my college years. None of it fits me anymore (I was a size 0 then), but I have lots of memories in that box (not literally, of course, ha!). As far as ever fitting into any of that stuff again, to quote my magic eight ball, “The outlook is not good.” 🙂
The Grapes of Wrath, which I loved, and The Scarlet Letter, which I loathed.
I think it’s hot, but I know that a lot of people think it’s not.
To be blunt, right now I look to’ up from the flo’ up. One word: gray. I’ve got my gray cropped yoga pants, gray roxy sweatshirt and a gray tank top. At least I’m comfortable…and ready to suddenly exercise if forced to!
Soup, as in I’d like to prepare some homemade soup. I’d also like to fit in two 5-mile runs while remaining focussed, patient and calm every day of the week.
G’morning, and happy Monday, ladies. 🙂 Are you ready for this?
