Today the weather has changed from sunny to rainy, to sunny with spots of rain. Sunshowers. A word that instantly summons up a day in kindergarten when it rained during sunshine and a rainbow hung in the sky. Beautious optical illusion. A minor miracle.
There is an ominous grey mass on the horizon. From that way I hear thunder.
As fickle as the weather am I. This is my way of saying that while it *is* foodblogday, today it is *not*. Gird yourself for whimsey.
I like to look at the ground while I walk. I like finding things. Today I found €5 and a marble! I have used to the money to buy raffle tickets, fundraising for a collegues mission to Uganda. I have the marble in my pen etc organiser thing on my desk. I think it is happy to be there.
Today I wore my docs to work, not my boots (which I almost always wear if I am wearing pants), but my utterly adorable mid-heel t-bars. I also have knee-high argyle trouser socks and my black skirt with pleats. My feet and legs look so cute with the pleats swishing over them.
I wish I was wearing make-up to finish the look. My shirt is sooo red, it demands red lipstick!
I still love my hair, but I need to tidy my eyebrows. I wish the woman who did them last time hadn't made them so thin.
Swish, wish, ish.
I'm jealous of Beau, he isn't working today, although he had hoped to be. On the other hand this does mean that we can go to Wanted tonight. It seems like it will be silly fun. I like watching Angelina be badass. She is still pregnant with her and Brad's twins and is currently staying in a hospital in Nice, France. I read about that today in the paper.
People who attend meetings without pens are idiots. People who "borrow" pens from the receptionist and don't return them are thieves.
At home I have a surfeit of pens and pharmaceutical companies give them to Beau. One of the pens is shaped like a syringe! It's cool, but I shouldn't take it as carry-on luggage I think.
There is a spider outside who enjoys being on TV.
I am not inspired to buy lottery tickets. I can't help but feel that winning a million wouldn't change my life that much. In fact, I worry it would make people expect me to pay all the time and to give stuff to them. Also, if we wanted to give money to our families, should we give equal amounts to mine as to Beau's, or would we give more to Beau's as his has more people in it? Definitely seems like a lot of trouble!... It would mean that Beau and I could start holidaying a bit earlier though.
Sometimes thinking about our plans for the future gives me a fluttery panicky feeling in my stomach. Are you ever really ready?
In the blue land, a pearl-eyed monster sleeps,
A silver-quick serpent about him creeps,
Up to good,
Gauge his mood,
The fair-haired princeling weeps and weeps.
In my family, Muggle and Peep are considered the creative ones. Muggle and I are probably both the sensible/reliable ones. Bambi and Muggle would be fashionable. Bambi and Peep the "little kids".
I suspect that I am the most competitive.
There are times I want everyone around me and others when I want everyone away.
The spider show is on again.
Must be time to stop the madness.
Point of Fashion: Feeling styley
Current Obsession: Procrastination
