Recent Events, Pseudo-Accomplishments, and Ways To Have Fun:
*do yard work (does not fall in the "Ways To Have Fun" category) *spend time with acquaintances who run an exotic animal rescue sanctuary; enjoy quality moments with kinkajou, binturong, Australian cockatoo, Egyptian fruit bat, prairie dog, Burmese python, fennec fox (pictures proudly displayed on the alt) *take two coworkers/friends to laughter yoga and allow them to enjoy the sheer foolishness of it all; risk male friend never speaking to me again *purchase two new fish for newly created aquatic environment *hang towel hook and curtain rod ALL BY MYSELF; fortunately had tub of spackle on hand to patch seven or so extra holes I drilled (may outsource hanging of two new towel racks as I am almost out of spackle) *anger father by suggesting that I paint my kitchen cabinets (such a ridiculous suggestion on my part evidently warranted the angry blue-eyed gaze and vertical eyebrows I received) *begin to add, arrange, and/or rearrange lovely decorative accents (have been acquiring things for several months--or a few years, in a couple cases--and now have time to find best places for them): pieces of art from local artists plus a few reproduction pieces; adorable tabletop wrought iron chairs; planter filled with moss spheres; dragon nightlight (excellent purchase, as I was born in the year of the dragon--check out www.shopwildthings.com for crazy items, including nightlight); hanging candle holders for outdoor garden; vintage keys (set of 7) to hang on wall; cute hand towels that match duvet *request free DVD from Sleep Number Bed people and consider doing in-home 30-day trial; figure out a way to pay to get to keep magic bed once it gets here *sunbathe on back deck; make sunbathing more comfortable by taking box fan and spray bottle of water outside, too
And now, for the greatest purchase I've made recently----
