Extra Long Weekend.

There was a fire at the restaurant near my office last last night, and the power's still out at the whole commercial complex.  If it weren't for two junior police officers driving by, the fire would've gone unnoticed for much longer that night.  So thank you, junior officers, for noticing and keeping the fire from spreading.

This is my second day off.  I know I always appreciate free time, but I feel so bad for the restaurant owners :(  Hopefully insurance takes care of everything!

Well, I'm glad I went dancing after class last night!  It's Zombie Friday, but at least I can nap and read in bed whenever I feel like it (it feels so weird two days in a row!).

Mind Farts
-new thing i'm sampling wherever i can: falafel wraps
-good valentine's day present: tickets to a comedic play
-still on the short stories.  my Kobo is waiting!
-it's time to stop telling abrasive drunk guys that i salsa
-starfruit is delicious!

Go, Library!

I was having trouble tracking down a book.  Out of stock at Chapters.  No E-Book available.  Patience is not my best virtue with books, so I decided to check the public library website.  Yes!  Available.  Trouble is, I haven't renewed my library card in years.

I went to the library after work yesterday and tried to renew my old card.  No go.  The library system has been revamped!  Instead I was rewarded with a bright new, bright red "I'm an Information Ninja" library card and a bright pink tote bag:

Sweetness.

Plus, there was a book sale in the basement (1 dollar books! ACK!) but I resisted buying any more books.  It was a commendable show of will power.

Time to finish laundry, do some homework and hit up a birthday party.  Today was a lovely day -  I got more than 5 hours of sleep - finally :)

Mind Farts
-R.I.P. beautiful ms. houston :(
-i am so loving short stories right now!  it's like a variety platter!
-oh dear.  you'd think farting on your dance partner would be mortifying, but it's a hilarious bonding moment (depending on the partner).  and gives him a free pass to do the same.  eep!  well, at least i was contracting my abs during the lift
-i ate out with some coworkers for Chinese New Year and there were these magical "hair" mushrooms.  did they look like something from my bathtub drain?  kind of.  what do they taste like?  pungent, mushroomy heaven.                                                                                                                                                                  

Oatmeal Delight.

This is how I feel.

Along with my 40 hour workweek I've logged around 20 hours of dancing/writing/reading.

I'm tired but giddy that I've managed to squeeze so much in.  Oatmeal for dinner.  It required the least amount of effort.

Now off to bed, because my contact lenses are screaming at me.

P.S. I love being in a classroom again.
