staple gun

i really like my hair today. it's three different colours! my natural dark brown, the ends are kind of a marigold orange and the front is purple. its an interesting effect.

today was my first day of work in 2007. it was alright. i was quite alert which is odd considering i only got about 4 hours of sleep. the day went fast actually. at one point i emailed melinda and said "i wish i wasn't in my cube. or that i was in my cube and nothing else was in my mind". that would make my life so much easier. i've concluded that left to my own devices i go perfectly insane. its like i'm a piece of wire that twists itself into a coil when there's nothing else to do.

today was also my first day at the Y in 2007. isn't this neat? me describing every first of 2007!?!? anyway, it was as annoyingly crowded as i expected. although, it was bearable because i took advantage of the warm weather and went walking on my lunch. had a fairly brisk half-hour walk. not bad.

this evening (on the first tuesday of 2007) i re-upholstered one kitchen chair. it looks lovely. i hope to do another, if not all of the remaining 3, tomorrow night. i'll buy some varnish and sand them down on the weekend. yay!

melissa stopped by and we had a nice visit. she helped me eat up the rest of the christmas log cake that i bought for the living room christmas party. i bought two and the second one wasn't touched. i keep thinking to myself "you should just throw that out so you don't eat it all yourself". but i'm glad i didn't. i guiltily enjoyed it.

i've got all my life to live.
i've got all my love to give.
i will survive.

Okay, so speaking of work...it turns out that your work, Bombardier, has been helping me stay employed as well!! Our recent fall exhibits (I work at the National Gallery) have been sponsored by your kind employer!!!

Thank the big guys for me next time you see them!!!

I like it!!! It's been almost two and a half years now, and my threshold for any given job is usually around the two year mark. But this one...is just sticking to me like glue!!

Maybe it's the fact that we have so many different exhibits throughout a year. It's suitable for those of us who get bored with the same thing all the time!!!

p.s. my kitty hasn't come by to visit me again yet :(

You are SO right...variety is the name of the game!!!

You know what I think of most when I hear the word "variety"?? Those variety packs of little cereals that you always get to take camping with you!!

Even now, the idea of fruit loops and Tony the Tiger make me giddy with joy!!
