miscellaneous saturday

Tonight I fully intended to vaccuum and clean the bathroom. I did not do those things. However, I did wash dishes, put sheets on the bed, put away a load of laundry, changed the kitchen towels, tidied up the bedroom, and some other miscellaneous little things. I bought new speakers for my computer--haven't hooked them up yet, but I own them! I finally got around to putting batteries in my shower clocks--yes, clocks, plural. I received two for Christmas and have decided to keep both of them, one to put in the shower and one next to the sink. Now both clocks have batteries and have been set to the right time and the right radio station. Hopefully this will improve my morning routine. Tonight I also worked on some poems and sent out a submission, which I was not at all expecting to do. Interesting.

Earlier today I ate a sandwich made from part of the world's largest sausage patty. Before they cut it up, it was six feet across, over 300 pounds, and tasty. I also went to the mall with my mom and got four cute new tops, sneakers, and sunglasses for super cheap. Boscov's is having a rockin' sale.

I just went to BMG's website to say I don't want this month's featured selection, and I discovered that my account has a balance of $23. I had thought I'd canceled last month's featured selection, but apparently not. They shipped me a KT Tunstall cd on 1/25. I have not received it, and it's 2/9. I'm a little concerned--it's been 10 business days and it's not here. In December I never received a package of birth control pills my pharmacy had mailed me; I thought that was a fluke thing, but now I'm kind of worried. If this stupid cd I didn't even order doesn't show up, that makes a trend. Also, if it doesn't show up then I can't send it back and will then have to pay for a cd I don't want and don't even have. Another concern: I ordered an external hard drive on amazon that should be showing up any day now. I don't want to have to worry about that not showing up. I just tracked the shipment, and it hasn't been delivered yet, so that's good. Unfortunately, BMG doesn't give me a package tracking option to see where that cd is. Argh.

Valentine plans: I have now acquired wine, truffles, and a new bathrobe, which happens to be, appropriately, pink. I plan to use the other half of the Flosty Gritter LUSH bubble bath (left over from the holidays). I will order my favorite pizza while heading home on the train so that it will be ready for pickup as soon as I get home. Valentine's Day is going to be awesome.

I think it's time for bed.

Sunday: church, gym

This morning I went to church for the first time since Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, there was a guest speaker. I hate it when they have guest speakers because the speaker always goes on and on. It always starts out really interesting but then you don't get out for an extra 20 minutes.

After church I went to the gym. 36 minutes of elliptical. Did all the arm machines, then 30-40 minutes of yoga. I pushed really hard on Friday, so I went a little easier on myself today. Still, a good workout.

Today's weight: 161.75. However, I can tell the new exercise regime is starting to work, because I've dropped half a cup size this week. Goodbye, breasts, I enjoyed our time together. Now I get to be really pear-shaped for a while until the hips and ass even out with the breasts. Sigh.

Next for today: lunch, a little relaxing, and then hopefully I will get my act together and clean the house.
