I'm a bit sad tonight and I'm not quite sure why.
I am happy, however, at this cooler weather we are having. I love fall and all the wonderful autumn things to go along with it. I love sweatshirt weather and I love the crisp air and leaves in red and orange and brown. I love the way the weather and having football on in the background makes me want chili and peppermint tea and hot cocoa. I love wearing warm PJ pants to bed and sleeping with my window open. I love Halloween and Thanksgiving and spending more time with the family and the way leaves crunch under my feet when I walk to my car. Ugh, I love it all and can't wait for it all to come into full swing.
My boss surprised me at work by telling me to paint a wall green (for grass) and blue (for sky) at work today. I did so, and manged not to spill any paint on our lovely 107-year-old wood floors. Tomorrow, I have to go in and paint some pickets on said wall. This is all for our Smithsonian Exhibit that opens officially on Thursday, but must be done by Tuesday, so my boss is kind of in OMG DO WE HAVE ENOUGH STUFF OMG YOU SHOULD PUT MORE STUFF ON THE WALLS. Whatever, it'll look ok, I think. I'm just a little :/ about having to go in on my day off, especially since I won't get extra money for it, really. She'll just make me take a day off once the craziness settles down.
My brother comes home tomorrow and I am excited to see him, grumpy though he may be.
Next weekend is the finals for a talent contest. I won the prelims (and made an easy $75). I'm hoping to do well for the finals because there's a nice cash money price and I could really use those Benjamins, man. Come on voice degree, don't fail me now.
In other exciting new? I ordered
this LOST posted and can't wait for it to arrive. Yes, it was expensive but it's hella awesome and will be boss on my wall. And John Locke is just the shit, so yeah. I regret nothing.
