Guess what was waiting for me when I got to work this AM? Yes … new shoes … Mary Jane Crocs to be exact. Now I can be comfy and fashionable. Perhaps some would take umbridge with my referring to Crocs (even Mary Janes) as fashionable, but this is my world, damnit. Mom bought them for me from the Crocs kiosk when we were Christmas shopping (they didn't have my size in stock) and they showed up sometime while I was gone. Happy Happy.
Anyhoo. I sort of feel like my 2008 has officially started. I know I'm about 8 days late, but I've been on vacation and now I'm back to work and out in the rat race and all that. I did go to the gym yesterday AND today … and as a seasoned gym lemming, I have to say … I HATE JANUARY AT THE GYM. Tons of resolution makers clogging up the cardio and fumbling around on the weights. I know some of them will stick it out and kudos and all for the effort … but man … pain in my butt. I have little enough time to be there, especially now and it sucks when I can't get what I need.
Ahh, on to more pleasant things … the SWG strike, for example. I really do like my TV, but having a bit of a break from it is AOK by me too. I've set the Tivo to capture Project Runway and Jamie Oliver's new show, Jamie at home. I also hear Nigella's got a new show … she's not as beloved to me as Jamie though. I have also been watching the box sets … Ugly Betty, Bones and we've got Heroes and The Office S 3 in the queue. What're your strike viewing alternatives?
And last but not least, Ms. Tabby. She's been working hard for weeks on a new skill. Not anything as frightening/exciting as crawling but way more heart melting … she has learned to give KISSES! It's this funny little thing where she sucks in her top lip and makes this smacking sound. And she does it over and over. I must remember to stalk her with the video camera so I might share her cuteness. It pretty much makes up for what she's been doing to us in the sleep department … but that's another blog entry entirely.
