I have mentioned before that there are indeed some good bennies I get as a state worker.  Oh, say like one holiday off per month.  Today being one of them, Patriot’s Day.  Not a bad deal, as it’s also Marathon Monday, and!, the Sox are playing!  In addition, it’s a mostly sunny day, a little crisper than the weekend, so the windows in my apartment are opened up, I’m doing a little spring cleaning, and meeting a girlfriend for coffee this afternoon.

I don’t have a whole heap of things to say today, so I swiped this meme-like thingy from a new blog I’ve found.  Hope everyone has a good Monday (as good as Mondays can be, right?).

  1. maybe i should not turn on the tv all day.  at least until the hills tonight. 
  2. i love the smell of warm chocolate chip cookies in the oven.  and sensual amber body lotion from bath & body works. 
  3. people would say that i’m silly, sassy, kind-hearted, fun, & thoughtful.
  4. i don’t understand why on any given morning that i want to sleep in, even a spec, there is some type of mayhem going on right outside my bedroom window.
  5. when i wake up in the morning i immediately need water.
  6. i lost a really pretty necklace that an ex had given me.  it didn’t hold any huge meaning to me anymore, but damn was it really pretty and i just…. miss it. 
  7. life is full of chances.
  8. my past has been (fortunately) pretty easy.  not a day goes by that i don’t feel grateful that i can say that. 
  9. i get annoyed when i don’t hear from someone when i expect to. 
  10. parties are better in the warmer weather.  bring on the patios, grills, and beer! 
  11. i wish for a solid few months of no big personal upsets. 
  12. dogs are something i see in my future.  i’d love to get a pup one day… though apartment living doesn’t really lend itself to that kind of… lifestyle.  cosmo it is, for now. 
  13. cats have always been something i’ve had an affinity for.   
  14. tomorrow is tuesday.  and i’m looking forward to wednesday. 
  15. i have low tolerance for wicked slow drivers.  also, road rage.   
  16. i’m totally terrified of burglars.  people breaking in.  knives, and people hiding in secret places in the dark. 
  17. i wonder why some people just can’t seem to catch a break.  and why they seem to be the one’s who so very much deserve that break. 
  18. never in my life have i eaten oysters.   
  19. high school was a really good experience.  college was better. 
  20. when i’m nervous i get really fidgety.  i talk a lot.  or not at all.  my hands get sweat(ier) than normal, and i bite my lips.   
  21. one time at a family gathering i fell off of the couch after too many jack and cokes.  oops.
  22. take my advice: take good care of yourself.  it will help change your outlook on both large and small feats, and help you to better tackle both good, and bad days. 
  23. making my bed is on of my least favorite things to do.  actually putting new sheets on, more so.  but the whole bed-making-process just pisses me off.
  24. i’m almost always thinking too much about things. 
  25. i’m addicted to buying new shoes.  getting manicures (most recently).  talking on the phone wile driving.  lipgloss.
  26. i want someone to surprise me with something random, special, and out of the blue.
