It was 46F according to the display on the big digital readout in front of one of the car dealers an hour ago. I know that to many of you storm-struck f'listers, that's practically balmy, but bear in mind---This is FLORIDA, we don't expect shit like this ( Read more... )

When I dressed for church this morning, I was feeling festive. I wore a red sweater over my grey boucle skirt...the sweater is a bit less form-fitting than I like, so I belted in the waistline with the Other Black Belt. It was accessorized with a necklace of dyed red coral and black and grey Dalmatian jasper, and...I've had these shoes for a couple ( Read more... )

The massage was magnificent. If I could afford to do that once a week, I think I'd be back to normal in a couple months. Oh. My. God. I was so relaxed, I was drooling on the carpet. I need to get everyone I know to go to him, since he gives $10 vouchers when you refer someone. Three of those and I could do it again! (30 minute for $30 or 1 hour for ( Read more... )

The tree is finally trimmed. I took twnty minutes or so and made gold wire hangers for the ornaments---I had the wire on hand, and definitely have more time than money. They may be less perfect than store-bought, but who the hell is going to look at them up close besides me?

We're celebrating solstice and having a gift ( Read more... )

Today was far less arduous than I anticipated. There were a few flurries of calls. I thoroughly hate, loathe and despise the Executroid Twins (two yuppie menswear companies we gained over the last couple of months). Can hardly tell 'em apart, they're both overpriced "prestige" brands and a major pain in the ass. (Especially since the Executroid ( Read more... )

At the moment, I'm basking in a glow of well-being. Life is good. I got a super AU story as my yuletide big gift, my recipient had squeeful things to say about my gift to her (Later!), I got a delightful treat story, and there was good feedback on my last-minute submission, too. (Last minute is right---I kept track, there were only NINE stories ( Read more... )
