I was very productive today, despite a 9-11:30 am nap necessitated by a 4:30 am stupid biorhythm wakeup call. I wrapped all the presents I bought for my mom's birthday (I bought them all yesterday, and kids, I TORE UP the malls; I love gameplan shopping), I went grocery shopping, I put away all my washed dishes and washed some more dishes, I washed some clothes, I spent a lot (" ") more money at Target than I thought I would, and I am currently making myself dinner (or not; we'll see how this Frankenstein-ed recipe I made turns out).

And then yesterday my friend Maile and I got haircuts together, and she was nice enough to come get me at the Grove after I had my eyes dilated at an optometrist's appt (I haven't had my eyes dilated in probably over a decade, so I kind of didn't expect it this time, either--oops). And she was further kind enough to drive down to Venice to the place where I get my haircut where she's never been before with Mr. Magoo in the navigator's seat (it was too painful to have my eyes open with my glasses on, and I am super-nearsighted, so there I was with my dilated eyes and no glasses attempting to give helpful suggestions as to where to turn. "Are we in Venice? Well, it's going to be sort of near the left end of the beach, but east some. You should turn here. Oh, this is a building? Well, you should turn at the next place that looks like this but is actually a street, then").

It's that thing I do, where I don't post for days and then I throw five entries at you in an evening. That's kind an annoying thing, at least to me. Why can't I just have one bloggable thought a day, like a normal person?

Anyway, some things I either forgot to mention or didn't:

* alexparker is forever win because of her tip about agave honey. It is just perfect!

* My nose has been itchy ALL WEEKEND, and it was really bugging me, and tonight I'm getting a little snuffly and I'm thinking it's actually allergies and I am so annoyed about that.

* I wanted to get a massage this weekend. I have a gift certificate that k_rock and her mister got me last year, and I have yet to use it. This is pathetic on my part, especially 'cause I'm all sore due to perhaps overdoing it at the gym at my new place of work.
