I'm so glamorous!
Aaaahhhhh, the glamour. I'm sitting here in my pajamas, watching Talk Soup with a green clay mask on my face. Give me some bright pink curlers, a flower-print muumuu and those slippers with the spike heels and feathers on the toes, and I'd be all set! (Man, I bet you all wish I had a scanner right now, so I could post a photo of this lovliness...)
It's Patriot's Day here, so I have the day off work. I'm going to try to be productive. So far I'm off to a decent start -- I woke up at 7:30 (due to a truck backfiring outside and nearly giving me a heart attack) and started cooking Curry Beef Stew in my slow-cooker. It has to cook for ten hours, so the timing should be just right to have it for dinner. I bought good steak to use in it, and the checkout girl at the store forgot to ring it in. So it's Free Beef Stew.
After the Beeeee-yoooty Treatment, I'm going to go the the two nearby convenience stores and beg for empty boxes so I can start packing. I'm planning to clean out my dreser and closet, throw away the stuff I haven't worn since the early '90s, and then pack up some of the books.
We didn't do much over the weekend -- Barry didn't feel well, so we mostly stuck close to home. We did go to Chelsea and wander around looking for a grocery store, which we didn't find. Something weird happened to my shoe, causing it to wheeze loudly every time I took a step. We found no grocery stores at all, so we've decided to use the online grocery shopping service from Stop & Shop. It doesn't cost any more than going to the store, and the stuff gets delivered right to your house. Joy...
I think my lovely green face is dry now (the cat keeps coming in and looking at me as if to say "What the HELL is the matter with you?!?" and shaking her head and walking away...) so I'm going to go wash it off and bask in my radiance, heh heh...
