Hey all

So guess who's finally surfacing? Me!

*falls over*

I've liked having vacation time. I've been getting things done. I've been productive. I'll be working today and then back to vacation time tomorrow (at which point I'll be really delving into spring cleaning the apartment).

So far accomplished on the vacay...

1. Went to race with bubblesbrnaid and eliz.

2. Got called a Benedict Arnold for wearing a shirt declaring my love Team Red Bull (or was standing in front of Michael Waltrip's trailer, and they were talking about Mikey being the B.A.).

3. Met roguewords, who experienced the hell that is race tracks and cell phone coverage. (It's almost amusing in a way that I have Verizon and people can call me and all my phone will register is that I have a message...and I can't even listen to it at the track! Argh! I swear, I'd get Nextel, but it's the principle of the thing at this point.)

4. Bought a couch. Isn't it fabulous? I love that couch. It shall be in from the manufacturer in 7-10 days (minus two, as I ordered it 2 days ago). It has piping! In a contrasting color! And it's deep, and it has two cushions instead of three, and my feet don't touch the floor, and I can curl up in it! Which apparently makes me a man. No, really. Women want their feet to touch the floor (apparently most women who furniture shop don't appreciate the fine art of curling up to read? the hell?) and they want the three cushions and they want cushy.

5. Cleaned some. More importantly, made a list of all the things I need to spring clean come this weekend. In preparation for the couch. *g*

6. Stumbled upon a vast conspiracy. Also known as, accidentally saw an email my mom had sent someone about my birthday. Am now officially worried. I was expecting a certain amount of crazy from my mother. My mother may have gone in a scary direction.

7. Dry cleaning is done, film has been taken to be developed (two rolls of film are at least 7 years old).

8. Dealt with extreme reactions to pollen, including a bad cough and headaches. Did you know there are pollen headaches? The news decided to educate us all to this fact. After I had three of them three days in a row. (Incidentally, the weather forecaster was in shock. Bad pollen count is over 50. Yesterday's pollen count was 109. They didn't even know it could go over 100, since 0-100 was the scale. Forecast for the next three days is over 100. Guess who isn't going outside?)
