I ran errands today and went to appointments all boring and definitely not blogworthy but damn if I didn't forget one of the things on my list to pick up... another set of twinkle lights. I think I'm getting old. I swear if it's not written down it is doomed. I currently have 5 post-its stuck to my computer... stuff I need to do, email, ideas for recipes, songs to download, etc. If a breeze carried my post-its off I'd be screwed. Speaking of? Have you seen this? How men use post-its. Looks like if a breeze carried this guy's post-it away he wouldn't be screwed ;) anymore at least.
Anyway... I strung commercial twinkle lights under my metal gazebo thingee the other night and I need one more strand to complete the project but of course I came home never stopping at Lowe's. I love my "electric stars." We eat dinner outside a lot and I love to go out there after work and just meditate. It's nice to not have the blaring flood lights on. I'm sure it's more cost efficient too.
Here's a pic of my incomplete project:
Highlights of the day:
* I got tons of things accomplished (despite forgetting Lowes.)
* Nasonex seems to be working at keeping my allergy attacks bearable. The other day I thought I was going to gouge my eyes out.
* 27 Dresses came out on DVD. I heart my Romantic Comedies.
