Saddo Alert
I am currently watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer on TV. Complete with adverts. Why I do this when I have the entire bloody show on DVD is beyond me. Maybe I should get off my arse and put the DVD in myself. But I might miss something!
[doh]
In other news, watched Up today. LOVED IT. And yes, I cried at one point. Even H shed a quiet manly tear. But I was mostly grinning and giggling. Some of the sight gags and in-jokes were absolutely hilarious. And because the sign encouraged us to recycle our 3D glasses (in the handily-placed bin) instead of demanding we hand them in, we decided the best way to recycle them was to take them home and use them for every 3D feature we see at home from now on. By which I mean we walked out with them quite openly in our hands, and no-one challenged us or anything. And quite frankly, for twenty squids, I think we were quite entitled to take them with us. So there.
("Free shower curtain!")
H is playing in Wokingham tonight so I'm downing rather a lot of Wine and being geeky. As you do.

We All Fall Down
Having put on 5lb over the holiday (could have been worse), I have tried to be good this week and do a ten-minute workout (short but intensive) every night bar Monday, the weekly shop night. Doesn't sound like much, but it's better than zero minutes, which has been the norm for the majority of the last few months. H agrees! Yay! Of course, it's no help being distracted by t'internet on one's way to pick up one's exercise mat (I'm doing Vicious Pilates tonight), but I am going to do some, I promise. My obliques are still aching from Wednesday's VP, and I've been doing Tae-Bo Advanced in between, so lots of sweaty effort expended, I promise.
In other news, it's the weekend (huzzah!) so I shall now do my exercise, eat and get Pished. Have a great one, kiddies.

*sigh*
Too tired/busy to make a proper entry about the weekend yet, but I will. For the moment, suffice it to say I had a great time and am most grateful to Eileen for taking on the hostessing duties as I seriously wonder if I could have done it if I'd gone ahead with the original plan of having it at my house.
Work tomorrow. Not looking forward to the routine of getting up at 6:20am again. At all. Thank goodness I only have to do it for a few weeks before my next chunk of annual leave...

I'm Sure I'll Be
Another lazy and unachieve-y day, although I have been getting myself psyched up for the weekend with some shopping and preparation for the weekend. Heehee. Also made some rather nice Parmesan and herb-crusted pork medallions for supper and am somewhat Pished. Looking forward to seeing some WDers tomorrow!

Argh!
I'm so behind!
I've got loads still to do before we leave in the morning. An early morning is in store, because of a few factors, so I am now off to bed.
See (some of!) you tomorrow. TOMORROW!!!!
current mood:  ecstatic

Holy crap.
You guys, tomorrow morning we're going to see a mortgage adviser. How am I even old enough for this?
(BTW: I will be 25 in a week. ONE WEEK!)

I've made Gizmo's life a living hell
For those who didn't catch my facebook status: I brought home a new cat yesterday. Well, I meant to bring home a cat, but I brought home a kitten instead. I'm not sure how I went from idling talking about maybe it was time to actually doing it - but I suspect my mother & her friends who work at volunteer cat shelters are to blame for giving me the push from thinking to doing.
Mom went with me on Sunday to the Seal Beach Animal Care Center where I spent four hours dithering between a dozen different cats who were all lovely, and then I went into the room where the older kittens (the teenagers according to the volunteer) were & I fell in love with a little Siamese girl named Cannoli. If it hadn't been Cannoli, I probably would have gone with Crackerjack, an all-black female who loved to lick fingers. But the shelter has a policy of not adopting out black cats in the two weeks before Halloween unless someone there personally knows the adopter & can vouch for them, and I also thought Crackerjack might be a little too rambunctious for Gizmo and me.
Anyhow, Gizmo is still hoping that this is all some horrific nightmare that he'll awake from at any moment, but I think eventually he'll come to love our new addition as much as I do. Only problem is I really don't like the name the shelter gave her - I noticed this morning that I've not used her name once - I just keep calling her 'girl'. So I need a new name... any and all suggestions are welcome as so far the only thing I've come up with is Gadget (to go along with my Gizmo) which I'm not sure fits....
Oh, and if I did it right, my profile pic is temporarily 4C (Cat currently called Cannoli).
eta: oops, guess I should look at my entries after I post them....
