cupcakes and new friends

Well friends, I think my winter blues are coming to an end, FINALLY. Today, I was running errands on my lunch hour, and I ended up downtown to drop off some paperwork. The sun was out (again, FINALLY), it was a mild 71 degrees with a gentle breeze, passersby were friendly and smiling, and I thought "THIS is perfect. Enjoy this moment." So I headed across the street after my appointment to the Cupcake Shoppe and picked up a few treats for my coworkers. (I also snagged a glass-bottle Coke because I can never say no to those.) OOOOooo! Also! Before going downtown, I had to stop at the bank, and the drive-thru teller is a regular at my gym whom I've seen but never met. She totally introduced herself while depositing my check, and now we are gym friends and I'm crazy excited because she seems like a real sweetheart. And I'll probably see her there today because I just ate my body weight in chocolate raspberry cupcakes (the current flavor of the week, in case you were curious).

Ta-ta for now, I'm off in search of insulin to curb this inevitable diabetic coma.

I should be working....

...but instead I am dreaming up ideas for the big redecoration of 2010. I have decided to coordinate my living room around these:

blue coral prints from Horchow.com

not a fan of them up against that wall color though, thoughts?

eating: pretzels
listening to: "fresh feeling" by eels
thinking about: the advantages of slate gray over chocolate brown in terms of wall color

Hola everyone! And how was YOUR valentine's day? Mine was lovely, thanks :) I slept in, watched a couple of movies - Down With Love was one of them, it's a favorite of mine - had dinner with family, and had a few drinks with a couple girlfriends. All in all, a nice day.

I've decided that mustard is the perfect condiment. Let me explain why. First of all, it tastes great on nearly everything...pretzels, sandwiches, hotdogs, hamburgers, sausage, etc. Also, there is like zero fat and calories in mustard, so you can eat it and not even feel guilty! Can't do that with say, mayo or ranch can you??? Right. AND it comes in different varieties so you don't get bored with the same ol' same ol'. You can choose from regular mustard, spicy brown mustard, dijon mustard, WHOLE GRAIN mustard (my favorite!), it's amazing! How many types of ketchup can you have, hmmm???

I feel I've made my point.

I never wanted to be your rolling train, I never wanted to be your dancin shoes....

Ryan always seems to know what kind of mood I'm in, and how to walk me through it. Thanks for holding my hand, dude. And also for being hot, but not too hot to take away from how good your music really is. It's hard to take a smokin hot dude's music too seriously when you're too busy undressing him with your eyes. Just sayin...

Also, it's going to be in the 60s this weekend. Anyone wanna play outside? Say, by the lake?
