Vacation, all I ever wanted
Nov. 19th, 2007 01:35 amI could be a very successful trust fund baby, methinks. This week off work has been great - I can't remember the last time I took a not-going-nowhere-just-hanging-out-here-at-home vacation.
It has been, in a word, nice. There was time and relaxation to write (Honeybunch makes me too anxious to allow me to write - he Does Not Approve of teh Smut - and he's here ALL THE DAMN TIME. Seriously, when I say I married a hermit, I wasn't kidding. As I don't have a laptop, I have to plan special to do any writing at all.
Anyway, yeah. The fic is written, beta'd (*smooches* to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alissomora), corrected, and is ready for submission. I am very happy with what I did, and I hope my recipent is happy, too. Even though I've written different things, this fic was my first on many levels.
The weekend was a little up and down. First off, OSU beat Michigan, which will always start the weekend out right.
( I came to a sad realization this morning: )
Birthday doings were nice - and THANK YOU to everyone who posted/commented for me today! Mal and Natalie took me out for lunch on Friday, and gave me a Cranium desk calendar and a gift card to Sephora (OMG WOOT). I bought something small - an angled eyeliner brush - but I'm amazed at how much better the brush is versus trying to use a pencil eyeliner. I made a list of things I want, although I have the feeling I'll be filling that list myself. No matter, I'm headed back tomorrow to buy a 9-color cake eyeliner palette and check out some of Too Faced's little compact eye creator kits. They are carrying Clinque and another department store brand now, too, so I might try some of their stuff to see how I like it.
Why yes, I am a Sephora whore, funny you should ask. :-P
Andy and I went out to lunch on Saturday. Funny/sad/pathetic that here in Columbus, on the weekend of the OSU/Michigan game, you can be one of a handful of tables in a popular restaurant during Saturday lunch because the game is on. We were excited; we went to Best Buy and bought a couple of movies (Zodiac and Sixteen Candles). Also, I found this for the PS2. WANT.
Today I spent the day with my family, surrounded by cake and presents - none of which were for me. :-| It was Natalie's birthday party (her birthday is the 21st). My sister made a great Sesame Street cake (100000000x better than store-bought, and she had the exact color of Sesame Street red) and Natalie got tons of toys, including a Dora the Explorer tent.
Why can't I get toys on mah birfday? :-S
( Brother update )
What else? Going to the in-laws' for Thanksgiving, NOT shopping on Black Friday (whatevs, man), and chillin' in general. Sounds like a plan (that is impossible for me to follow, but it's nice to have goals ;D).
