What does an elephant have to do with paper towels?
About as much as this subject line has to do with this entry, that's what.
HI, EVERYONE. I hope all of you have had a wonderful weekend.
Mine was pretty stellar in the fact that A: I had the entire weekend off, and B: It was relatively productive.
Yesterday was our community fall festival type thing, so we went to that, and it was amusing. I always like going to those sorts of things, mostly for the arts and crafts vendors. There's all kinds of stuff out there, mostly homemade jazz like home knicknacks, artwork, clothing, jewelry, food, stuff like that. Every year I go to the Southern Butterflies booth to get homemade organic soap in exciting, earthy scents like Dragon's Blood and Forest Fantasy. This year, I also discovered crystal potpourri, which is amazing. I got one in Amish Fall, which is an awesome cinnamon and clove scent and one in Lovespell, which is also a spin-off of the Victoria's Secret fragrance. It smells amazing, and it will match the accents in my new lavender bedroom (!!!!) should our house-procuring endeavor go through. Also got one for my mom in the Dream Angels scent, which smells EXACTLY like the fragrance does. I was like "DUDE." XD
Went to the HSUS booth and petted puppies, donated money. On the way out, saw two people in Alabama t-shirts and yelled "HEY. ROLL TIDE." across the entire block. Received an enthusiastic "ROLL TIDE" in response. My mother was then embarrassed to be seen with me, which was not at all a new development.
Walked back across the street to home, and turned on the TV to see Alabama kicking Duke's ass. Was infinitely happy with the score, but not necessarily the level of skill they were showing toward the end of the 2nd quarter. Yes, they had no issue with scoring (hell, the score at the time was like, 51-3 or something outrageous) but they were doing a lot of shit that they don't need to be doing next week when it comes to facing Arkansas. Passes were incomplete, and oh-dear-God, DROPPED when the damn catch would have been a touchdown, and seeing that sort of tomfoolery from my Number One in the Nation football team had me feeling as mad as Greg McElroy looked like he felt on the inside.
Also, Florida beat Tennessee this weekend. Again. No surprise there, as it were. USC also won, which was slightly entertaining.
Today, we went shopping for effects for the house. Scored some rugs and wall art, and some sort of bamboo end table. WIN.
Right now, I'm sitting here chugging hot tea by the cup, as I have been pretty much all weekend. Despite my feeling fine, I have a nagging sore throat and I'm afraid I might be coming down with what my coworker had last week that turned into laryngitis. She said it started off with a mild throat irritation, progressed to a cough, and then morphed into a plague. I fear the plague may soon be upon me as well. DO NOT WANT. ><;;;
In other news, I want desperately to write. I haven't written much in the past few months. The only things I really have written are things I've written for challenges because I want to be done with them, not really because it would make me happy to do so. I consider the prospect of actually wanting to write as progress, even though I haven't the slightest idea what would make me happy to write. I'm just at the point where I want to write SOMETHING. ><; I DON'T EVEN KNOW.
On that note, the holidays are coming up in a few months, though they are still a while away. I do plan to be doing holiday fic requests again this year, though I may modify the rules a little bit. I might be taking requests sooner this year, too, so I can go ahead and get on the ball. :)
Aaaanyhoo. Monday tomorrow. Oh, joy, oh rapture. XD
PEACE, CATS.
