life in bullet points

posted by [personal profile] laylee at 09:54pm on 03/02/2009 under , , , , ,
  • I rode my bike to work today. It took around twenty five minutes to get there. If I'd driven or gotten the bus, it would have taken hour because the traffic really was that insane.

  • [livejournal.com profile] malnpudl posted a very interesting article today that really pinged a few things for me. I'm sure many of you saw it on Mal's journal, or have read it elsewhere, but it's totally worth a repeat visit: Care For Your Introvert.

  • I have no less than four birthday events to attend in the next three weeks; dinner for friend A on Friday, cocktail party for sister-in-law C on Saturday, bowling for nephew F Sunday week and a fancy dress party for friends A&M the weekend after next. I need to start taking vitamins NOW!

  • For C's birthday I'm getting my hair cut and straightened for the evening. I've already picked out my outfit for the party, but now I'm worried it won't go with straight hair. Maybe I should chose a back-up dress just in case...?

  • Speaking of birthdays, mine is next month and I'm already considering a couple of celebratory options. Yeah, I know I've still got six weeks to go, but the sort of thing I have in mind requires organizing people and making bookings so the sooner I get started the better.

  • With the (really) hot weather last week, all the trees in my street suddenly went into drought survival mode and have been shedding leaves like nobody's business. It looks more like the middle of autumn in Y Avenue at the moment, not the middle of summer.

  • My car is so dirty I'm almost ashamed to be seen in it. Before I go the the hairdresser on Saturday, I'm taking Delia to the hand car wash in Heidelberg road and buying her the full treatment. She gets me to where I need to go so it's the least I can do.

  • I'm currently watching the first episode of Lie To Me. Tim Roth is, of course, fabulous, but I'm also liking Keli Williams a hell of a lot more than I did when she was in The Practice. I think it's the natty tailored shift dresses she's wearing. I love a natty tailored shift.

  • There are still no Winchesters on my TV. This is very sad-making.

  • In conclusion, chocolate cake!

I know, that article is amazing. I just want to print it out and hand it to everyone I know just so they can finally get where I'm coming from.

CAKE! Oh, I am so hungry. But eating would involve getting up and going downstairs and cooking dinner. I suppose it has to be done sometime.

I envy you your social whirl, except for not really, since I'm a bit crap at parties. Have a lovely time, and I'm sure your hair and your dress will look fine together. But it never hurts to have a back-up.

Natalie wears a tailored shift dress in the first episode of season 2 SN - it isn't really hyper-nerdy of me to remember that, it's the first episode where Dana turns up looking like she's come straight from painting her flat, so the contrast sticks in my mind - and now my head it going 'natty Natalie'. And will be for some time, I fear.

I have this huge craving for cake but I'm being restrained. I have a rather large weekend coming up and my work pants are still a bit tight after the holiday season. That's what having fun will do to you unfortunately :~(

It's a seriously serious chocolate cake, that one. Just the tops!

Thanks!
