leighblackThis weekend was fairly lovely. The weather was gorgeous! Although it is probably sad that I got really excited about the severe weather last night because that meant more Sven on TV. =/ But other than the short storm, there really couldn't be any complaints about the weather. It was in the 70's!
I tried to spend some time outside on Saturday, but I got my oil changed and then had to work and then I was exhausted by the time I got home. Stupid cold is still making me miserable and tired. Instead I spent a LOT of time on Fri & Sat cleaning up my music files and erasing things on my iPod to make room for new stuff. It's almost ready for my upcoming road trips!
Yesterday was a lovely day. I went on a walk with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
taylorea & hubby and then we went to the *gasp* rival bookstore, Borders. We then went back to their place and I gifted them some of my pirate booty. And then we ate and gossiped and watched The Office. It was a wonderful way to spend the day!
Oh yeah. A trip to Borders = more books to add to the list of books I've bought this year.
#49 Animal Instincts - Gena Showalter
#50 Kitty Takes a Holiday - Carrie Vaughn
Bren gave me a book too, but I can't remember the title. I'll add it into my next list. And how many books have I read so far this year? 15. Not bad, I guess. Plus, I should finish The Sparrow either today or tomorrow. But I need to step it up to hit my goal of 75 books for the year.
I found out that I'll be dog sitting again this weekend. I kind of wasn't expecting that. I may have to skip the Kim Harrison book signing because I'm also going to the Boiled in Lead show that night, and if I'm gone ALL day long the puppies will have a fit. I'll have to see what I can work out.
Next weekend will also be devoted to coloring my hair. I have a plan worked out and I'm pretty sure it'll turn out cool. I just desperately need to do something different with it! One of the curses of having curly hair is that you're very limited with your style choices. You can change the length but that's about it. You can't really get a "style" done.
Also, my nails are really getting too long. It's causing problems when I type because I keep hitting the extra keys with my nails. How do chicks with those super-long fake nails do it? I'm loathe to trim them off though. I think I've told this story before, but I used to bite my nails when I was a kid. Really bad. My mom tried to do everything she could think of to make me stop but it never worked. When my grandpa was dying from lung cancer, the very last time I saw him he made me promise that I'd stop biting my nails because he wanted to see my hands look like the hands of a young lady. I've never bitten them since them and I have a hard time even just trimming them. The few times I've gone for a manicure, I usually make them just shape my nails and not trim them. Even though they're usually all different lengths from breaking off at different times. I may have to break down and trim them though because it's getting a little ridiculous.
I really, really wanted to call in sick this morning. First, I overslept because I didn't hear my alarm. Then I couldn't breathe very well. And lastly, it's supposed to be in the 70's again. Really, those are the perfect reasons to sleep in and then spend the rest of the day outside. Instead, I am here because I had a training session this morning and since Tuesdays are super busy for me, I didn't want to have to also have to get caught up with Monday's stuff. Bah. But a couple people in my department did call in today. Fuckers.
I think that's everything for now. Oh! Don't forget to mark May 1st on your calendar for Trivia for Boobs II: Electric Boobyloo!! I'm hoping that we can get enough people involved that we can break off into two teams. I'm still hearing about how much fun everyone had at the first trivia night, so you'll want to be sure to be there too!
