Hooray for Friday! The 13th!

Good mood.

My cat woke me at 6am to throw up on my pillow. After the semi-cleaning and subsequent replacement of the pillow, I made a life choice. I was very close to getting up and starting my day an hour earlier than normal. I could have some coffee, read the paper, catch up on my blogs and email, etc, but then what would I do at work? So I "forced" myself to go back to sleep.

Yesterday I made a conscious effort to reset my alarm for 6:45 so maybe I could get to work on time. This has nothing to do with the fact that everyone at work got little notes on their desks explaining how often they were late (I was 4 out of 5 days last week). But it worked. I was 10 minutes early to work. Early. As in "before my due time." So I get to leave 10 minutes early. That's fair, right?

While doing an incredible job of not working on the last day before my boss comes back from vacation, I heard a mighty good set on the radio. If I had an mp3 player, this would be my "karoke playlist" - Walk Like an Egyptian, Like a Prayer, and even the theme to "The Neverending Story." Ok, so I don't exactly sing that last one at karoke. But it was good to hear.

Then I found out that in a month's time there will be an awesome concert in lovely NYC. Primus and Rasputina. Oh good, tickets are still available. Oh wait. They are still available because they start at $100. Each. Start. As in, "they only get pricier from here." I guess I could save my pennies and buy a ticket... and go by myself. I have seen both of these bands before (Primus twice!) and I don't think the total of all my tickets even added up to that much. Maybe if I include my friends' tickets. But that's a hell of a lot of money to pay to go see a concert. Add it to the list of things I will do when I am rich and famous.

It's cold outside today. When I left my house (before 8) it was 40 degrees. I know it's going to get much colder, but 2 days ago it was 80 degrees, so I'm glad we're finally moving in the right direction. Soon I will be clad in a big coat, hat, scarf, gloves, and warm fuzzy boots. I'm totally super psyched about it.

I've just realized how long this blog is becoming, and that I have the power within me to make it so much longer. I can sure write a lot about nothing. I have nothing to do at work today, so I'm taking my sweet time with it. I'm sure something exciting will happen later, so I'll write yet another blog.

I've also just realized that I'm glad "teh" is not a word, otherwise spell-check would not catch it and everything I have ever written or will ever write in the future would make even less sense than it does now.

Ok. Enough rambling. For now. Fairly warned be thee, says I.
