revised oatmeal schedule
Jan. 26th, 2006 12:59 amLadies and gents of Livejournal, I had a totally awesome hair day today. TOTALLY AWESOME. My hair was curly but not wild, frizz-free but not flat, and there was this one lock of hair on the right side of my face that curled across my forehead just so - it's hard to describe, but once in a blue moon my hair does this, and it looks like I've spent hours artfully styling it into place, when in truth I could never artfully style my hair to do anything (my hair care routine is this: wash/condition, comb, air-dry as long as possible, dry with a diffuzer with my head upside down for the rest, apply frizz control cream, and pray). Suffice it to say, it was fabulous. Naturally, have my long-scheduled hair appointment tomorrow evening. That is the way with these things, right?
The other big event of the day happened this afternoon, when I dragged my butt a half hour off of my usual commute route to get to this scary box-store plaza that featured both a Barnes & Noble (where I could get a discount this week!) and a Panera's (where they serve my favorite, baked potato soup, on Wednesdays!). I was so looking forward to my late afternoon lunch, where I was planning to read my newly-purchased fabulous novel on the recommendation of several lovely people. Then I got to the register with my potential purchases only to discover that I had left my wallet at HOME. And had only the two dollars and change in my coat pocket!
IT WAS SO TRAGIC!
Once I knew I couldn't get my Panera lunch, I suddenly realized that I was famished and would not survive the 45-minute drive home, and therefore scrounged together my quarters and bought Hush Puppies at the Taco Bell/Long John Silver's in the scary box-store plaza. I spent ten minutes of the drive home eating the Hush Puppies and the other thirty-five minues hating myself for eating them. All in all, good times!
The goal for tomorrow is: To remember that I have to leave an hour-and-a-half earlier than usual. I'm a little afraid I'll get into my usual routine (which features time-stamps for when I should be doing things - at x mintues past the hour I make my oatmeal, at y minutes past the hour I do my makeup, etc et) and forget. But I believe in myself! I do! I CAN DO THIS!
