Just one heartbeat away from everything I mean to say
Awhile ago I saw some commercial that featured the unlikely pair of Raven Symone and California's First Skeleton, I mean Lady, Maria Shriver. Guh? It was about earthquakes or disaster preparedness or some such notion. I'm sure they're both extremely knowledgeable on the subject(s).
Now that I'm signed up for my class, I really want school to start... but my first one won't be until the week of the 23rd. Dude. But, I did find an Italian cooking class at a local adult school I might take. It'll be only four meetings, starting this week... yay foodie.
Thursday afternoon my mom and I went to Raley's... we got this fondue stuff we're going to make tonight. Cheese rocks. We also bought strawberries that need to be used, and I'm thinking smoothies. Having a homemade fruit smoothie/juice is just as healthy as actually eating a fruit, right?
Yesterday was a short work day. My dad got up early to take my grandpa to the doctor, and I went ahead and got up since I woke up when he was making his coffee. I got to work around 7:30, dug back into a project I thought I'd finished (I hate that) and left around 11:00. On Monday J and I are meeting to go over the stuff I have left on my to-do list, which he added to after I left by e-mailing me random lists of things his accountants office needs for taxes and such. Why do I always get the plum assignments?
Oh yeah, that reminds me; When J and I had a meeting the week before Christmas, he gave me this pen of his he wanted a refill for. It's a gold pen (not real gold, but something golden and heavy) which I guess is part of a desk gift set he loves. It's not my job to order things any more, but I just said "Okay", took the pen, and set it aside to think about it later. Yesterday SC (my replacement) tells me how J gave her the other gold pen from that set, demanding a refill immediately, and upset because he thought he'd lost the one he'd given me. I could understand a tantrum over someone losing, say, a nice watch if he gave it to them to fix*, but a pen? Oy vey, he hurts my head sometimes.
*I just thought of a watch because he got a package from Cartier the week before Christmas. I only knew it was Cartier because he had me open it. He has this thing about opening packages; that is to say, he will never open them. In the time it could take for him to do that, he instead calls someone else (me or SC) to do it. Is this a rich person thing or is he just wacky?
I didn't work on anything this week for the site... bummer. Going back to work after a week off is like a Monday times ten. Since I (hopefully) won't have company website stuff this week, I can do that when I get home.
Are there people who can really leave work at work? Because even when I have a project I only work on there, and even if it isn't a big deal, I always find myself thinking about work. It's almost like, "What's the point of going home?" I do tend to obsess.
I've only used a few of my new beauty products so far. Verdicts:
- Burt's Bees "Vanishing Facial Powder." It's very light-feeling on the skin, which is nice I suppose, but I don't think it's as good as my Physician's formula. Ah, well.
- Meet Mark's Megavitamin Facial wash: Nice smell; it doesn't really lather up, but my skin was quite soft and clean feeling.
- "Pink Suede" skin softener. The scent is a bit too strong to use as much as you'd use a lotion, but a dab here and there is lovely. It's worth it just for the neat pink container:
