So, I set my cellphone alarm with trepidation last night, not having used it for months. Set for 7, so naturally I woke up before 6. Sigh. There was fresh snow on the ground but it was hovering around 34. My ride was laaaaate and I was turning into a popsicle sitting outside. But I still arrived at the mall just in time to get money and then go have my pedicure. Oh, my feet feel divine. And I have silver sparkly polish. I was also given samples of two face products and I think in the new year I'll be treating myself to specialized facials. 'cuz I so deserve it! And, alas, my face needs it.
When I left that section of the mall, I was walking outdoors when a woman grabbed me by the left arm. Outraged, I turned to see who dared … and it was my hair stylist just wanting to say hi and that she'd see me next week. Okay, heart, start beating again. After that, I hit the drugstore where I spent lots of money on lipshine, two glittering eye shadows, and mascara. Oh … and ::whispers:: chocolate.
Finally, I got to the supermarket where I stocked up on avocados, 'nanas, tiny clementines (even though I wanted mandarins), cocktail tomatoes, rye bread, seasoned boneless lamb leg (for Kissymas dinner). And buffalo wings for tonight (which I haven't had yet). My ride came on time and I was home before 3. Woo-hoo.
Did my new weekly job of editing Sunday News (which keeps my English skills sharp and gives me a sneak peek). After that, I watched my game shows and then last night's N.C.I.S. shows. I don't know what they were thinking: the original was all sappy about a found baby (and pairing people off) whilc the spinoff was just grotesque, with a high body count. Just horrid.
Well, I'm going to enjoy just a wee chicken snack and a glass of rose. And hope I can sleep in as long as my body needs tomorrow morning. Please, universe.
