goodness

today has been the most wonderful day.

first, i must explain that i'm in the midst of pledge drive hell at work, so it really doesn't take much, in comparison, for a day to be deemed "wonderful."

* i woke early and made myself a delicious breakfast of pancakes and bacon. (the pancakes were topped with a homemade creation of nuked frozen cherries and sugar-free vanilla coffee syrup; the bacon was turkey.)
* together ray and i watched our two favorite VH1 reality shows.
* we went grocery shopping at a whole new store. (which, i must say, was surprisingly exciting... figuring out where this kroger kept all their stuff, and commenting on how backwards the store's layout seemed. a perfect illustration of how relative the term "wonderful" is.)
* i tried a new south beach meal for lunch that was pretty tasty
* i then went to the mall where i bought a few new tops. (note to self: at hechts i seem to be a size medium; at old navy, an extra-large. go figure.)

and now i'm back home, thinking i might spend the rest of the evening with one of those little red envelopes that have been sitting on my coffee table.

i'm trying not to let myself think ahead to the upcoming week. it's going to be a long and exhausting one. (with little time to blog, i predict.)

i'm glad this was a good day; it is my last day off for a week. but if i force myself to look on the bright side... i do have halloween night off for the first time in about 5 years.
