I’d rather be…
I’m sure everyone’s seen those annoying bumper stickers that say the owner of the car would rather be golfing/fishing/hiking/drinking/eating brains (sorry, that one’s just for the driving zombies of the world). Unfortunately, I can’t help but think that my head seems to have had one of those stickers firmly affixed to my forehead today.
The sun is shining, the snow is actually melting and I have cabin fever like crazy. Being stuck in this office feels a bit like being stuck on a leash. I have energy! I want to GO!!
I have errands to run (wash the salt off the car, get the oil changed, buy cat food, take my vacuum cleaner to the store to see if they can fix it, etc.). I’ve been inspired by Heidi and her fabulous work on her living room to work on my apartment; the decorating bug has bitten. I have pictures to mat, frame and hang on the walls. I’d like to buy a new bookshelf for my living room, I have things to load into the car and take to Goodwill and I really want to hit TJ Max to see if they have a great bedspread/comforter for my bedroom that I can alternate with the one I have now. I’d like to finish/read some of the books in my TBR pile and I have work to do on my story.
Basically, I’m a bit useless right now since I’d rather be doing almost anything but working.
I’m also super excited about some upcoming plans. Sunday is an Oscar party at Jeff’s place. We’re all gathering to watch Flash Gordon, since it was so cruelly snubbed by the Academy in 1980. Our food spread is all based on things in the movie, and I’ve decided to “dress” for the occasion. I have a tiara, a black dress, fake eyelashes, and plenty of blue eye shadow to put together my best 1980s sci-fi damsel in distress costume. I’m sure I’ll talk more about it later, so I’ll stop there.
Monday I’m taking the day off to go to the Civic Center with Kathy and purchase tickets for the traveling tour of Spamalot. It should be great fun.
So yes, this is me today. Massive attention problem, wishing it was already Friday, and wanting desperately to go play in the sunshine.
