Nothing else matters ...

I feel like I'm back on track with my book reading. Add that to the fact that I have almost completely finished designing my laundry detergent label and I feel pretty productive today.

Book #27 - Uglies (Uglies Book 1) by Scott Westerfeld - I've had the first two books in this series sitting here since Christmas and I kept putting off reading them, even though I'd heard how good they are. It's all part of my inscrutable brain. It's better not to look to closely. Anyway. I thought this book was great. I honestly couldn't figure out how they were going to move from this book to the next until the end. Awesome.

I feel much better than yesterday. More centered and not at all crazy for no good reason. This is a good thing.

I have a bunch of little things that need to be done tomorrow. Things that I keep putting off. Like, calling my HR department about my 401K. I guess it's about time.

I have the urge to watch Twilight.
Later!

Vote in my poll!

I'd just like to announce (loudly) that the freaking slowness of the internet is driving me bonkers today. I want to lash out at something. But I don't. Mostly because Twitter's taking too long to load. Boo.

But it did give me time to contemplate things...
I was thinking about all the things I like about working from home.

I don't have to wear shoes unless I want to.

The new pillows I bought for my bed make me want to sink into them. In the middle of the day. That might be a bad thing.

Which color should I dye my hair? Neon red? Blue? Green? So many choices!

A movie a day. Whether I like it or not.

I've found that I do have a capacity for cooking. Sure I use the same several ingredients in all my things, but I'm doing it! Does anybody remember the frozen pizza incident?

As part of above, I'm eating a lot healthier because I have the time to cook. I also get to go on walks with Cole. And play pogo with the boy in the afternoon.

I can drink good coffee whenever I want to. And I'm making it making it myself so it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg.

More creativity from me! Buckets of it! I love all the ideas I'm coming up with. Writing, selling, creating! Woot!

I'm not at work.

So, there you have it. I really never liked wearing shoes. That was a big one. Sometimes I wear slippers when I drop Cole off at school. Best thing ever.

I got a call from my former assistant at the bank. They're being audited. That was my absolute least favorite thing about my (former) job. It happens once a year and it was horrible. HORRIBLE. At least for me because it had so much to do with my (former) job. I'm so glad I'm not there anymore. (see above) :)

Now, I have to get back into reading again. How many weeks have I been off work now? 8? And how many books have I read? None? Ouch. That stings a little.

I'm off. I think I have some shows to watch. Or something.
Later!

I'm watching Deepstar Six as a cap to my Monsters of the Deep marathon and it's really not holding up to the other sea monster movies. In fact, it's kinda bad. Which means that I'll review something *gasp* I might not like. Crazy!

I did some research on my forthcoming work from home venture earlier. I'm getting really jazzed to get this up and running. I just have to wait for my bags. Grr. Sometimes I'm not patient.

I'm going to watch this not great movie now.
Wish me luck.

Murky and overcast this morning. Rumor has it that it might rain soon. I love the rain. Especially when I'm home, hunkered down with a hot cup of something and hours to wile away.

Did I mention that my Twilight DVD shipped yesterday. I might (might) get it today. It's okay, you don't have to be jealous that Amazon loves me. If you love it, it turns out that it'll love you back.

I've been updating some of my Squidoo pages.

I've also bought the bags I'm going to use for my detergent. I did decide to go with Three Sisters. It makes more sense if I'm going to use it for things that aren't all "green". For example, I'm thinking of offering spell-casting kits. Three Sisters works slightly better with that. The only downside is that I actually have four sisters. As in, there are five of us all together. That just didn't have the same ring to it. Five Sisters. No. Three is a much more magical number.

Three Sisters it is.

Thank you to everyone who voted. My next request is going to be for someone with graphics abilities to help me translate the logo design in my head into something that doesn't look like a 3 year old drew it. I could even pay a small fee. Or I could pay in homemade detergent. Because I'm going to use the barter system for everything from now on. Do you think Target will take chickens in lieu of money? I don't have any chickens, but if I did I would totally barter them. Or maybe just their eggs.

Oh! I think that this is one of the coolest eco-friendly things I've seen lately. I want it because it's pretty and neat to look at and good for the environment, but what the hell would I actually do with it?

Wow. I wrote a lot. And it's still early. That leaves a very wide door for me to return.
Later!
