Tuesdays are the worst, it's the first day of my work week so I have to get up at 5am after sleeping in the previous 2 days.
If it wasn't for my tea stash I'd be snoring at my desk by lunch time. I love to drink loose leaf tea at home but prefer the convenience of bagged tea at work. White tea is great for work because it gives me just enough caffeine to keep me going but not enough to make me jittery like coffee does. Today I'm drinking Berryblossom white by Tazo teas. If I had some of Kelly's cucumber sandwiches to go with it I'd be set. ;)
I took Sebastian to the vet yesterday to get neutered. He looks so pitiful with his plastic cone. He was still really groggy when I picked him up. I have to keep him from running, jumping, and playing for 2 weeks somehow. He's the world's most hyper dog, how am I going to do that? I feel so bad that he has to stay in his kennel all day but that's really all I can do.
I found this usb cup warmer while going through a bunch of stuff in my attic yesterday. I forgot I bought it last winter to keep my coffee warm. I never used it so I didn't know it had led lights. It swirls from red to blue, very office zen like, lol.
I'm flying to Texas in about an hour to visit my dad for a week. I always stress out before I travel, hoping I don't forget something and making sure I get everything done before I go. And heaven forbid I don't get to the airport 3 hours early, lol. Thankfully the airport here in Wilmington is pretty small and laid back. I didn't check any luggage because I've heard so many stories lately about it getting lost and delayed, so I mailed a small box of my clothes and shoes ahead and am just bringing everything else in my carry on. I've got my knitting, book, magazine, zune, laptop and a ton of other essentials so I can barely close the darn thing. Oh well, its worth it to not have to wait at the baggage claim for an hour.
I'll try to post from dads but I don't know if I'll have access to wifi anywhere, we'll see. I just can't wait to board the plane because then I'll have about 7 hours of knitting, woo!
I saw some kiddie kites at walmart during a grocery shopping trip the other day and thought that it had been years and years since I flew one. So yesterday I stopped by the local kite shop, Blowing in the Wind, to look for a little portable one for the beach. I always prefer to support local businesses if I can, especially downtown, and I'm glad I did. The guy there was really helpfull and they had a huge selection. There were some really awesome and fancy kites but in the end I settled for this little guy. Cute and easy to esemble, and it does flips and dips like a stunt kite. Its really a lot of fun. And I can just fasten it to my bag and leave it up in the sky while I tan, perfect!
I went down to the waterfront on Sunday to get some ice cream (kilwins, yum!) and this is what I saw, a huge oil tanker comming down the river. I've heard they come through every once in a while but I've never seen it before. I knew the bridge went up for ships but I always asumed it opened in the middle like a draw bridge. Instead the whole middle section raises up and the boat sails underneath it. It was quite a sight to see this enormous tanker slowly float by historic downtown.
I've been trying to eat healthier lately but haven't been very good at sticking to it. So here's a healthy breakfast for once. Yogurt, granola, and fruit. I'm going to try to be more disciplined about what I eat from now on, I hope I can stick to it.
I had the day off yesterday and it was too nice to not go to the beach, so I packed up my stuff and took Sebastian. We went to wrightsville beach and when we got there I realized I forgot my wallet and I had to pay for parking! I had a dollar and asked someone if they had change so I could move to a meter instead. They didn't have change but they had an hour left on their parking pass so they have it to me. Yay for nice people!
Sebastian was excited, it was his first time at the beach and he had a blast. He ran with me and even got in the water, I was worried that he'd be scared of it but he wasn't. He kept trying to eat seashells lol. It was really windy so we didn't stay long but we had a great time.
I started my new schedule yesterday, and sofar I like it. I work four 10 hour days from 7 to 6. I'm not usually a morning person at all (I used to work nights, I didn't have to wake up till noon!). But sofar I've actually found a few things I like about working mornings:
- I had forgotten how beautiful sunrises are, I hadn't seen one in a few years.
- The birds singing. They sound so happy in the mornings, I love to hear them. It always makes me smile.
- Its nice and quiet in the call center this early, and the calls are a few min apart.
- It was still light out when I leave work.
- After work I went grocery shopping and made dinner and got the dishes done. I'll have time now to plan healthy meals and pack my lunch.
- I have 3 days off a week to get things done and just have fun. I see myself at the beach a lot this summer. :)
The only hard part is going to bed early. Its hard to fall asleep at 10 PM lol.
In theaters may 30.
I can't wait for this movie to come out! I saw a preview for it already when I went to see The Other Boylen Girl. There's a flier for it on my table at the cafeteria at work.
