It's been forever because I now have this thing called a 'job' to go to everyday.  I've also been quite preoccupied with jetting up north to San Francisco, Stockton or Santa Cruz lately.  My Thanksgiving turned out really great, the food knocked my socks off!  It was gorgeous weather and the long weekend felt like vacation by the seaside.  David is a fabulous host and his streamlined decorating tastes have inspired me to do a bit more with my shabby abode.  I will now cultivate my fledgling nesting instincts (they have been returning as of late...now that I have a place to nest in!) and try to find myself a bedframe and hopefully get my dresser down here.  It would be nice not to have to shove all my meager clothing items into a two shelf cabinet!  There is going to also be some rearranging of the apartment itself- new roommate, new space to be assigned.  Thus, tonight I hope to make use of my newly focused-on biceps and move stuff around and create a little office/sitting area in the front corner.  Tomorrow should be quite interesting, I'll be seeing Alan and many others again for the first time in a long long time.  Wonder how it'll go.  I drank one glass of wine last night and woke up with a headache.  My, my, my how I've altered my existence!  I am feeling pretty damned good and let my mind wander to all the random things that I like...here is a haphazard list:

.....eye contact, tom yum, British pounds, eternity summer, hard progressive house while running, maidenhair ferns, working a budget out, the ocean, UK accents, polka dot panties, fruit-flavored frozen yogurt, firm triceps, tart lemonade, freckles across the bridges of noses or other random groupings, men holding the door for me, succulent gardens, the smell of baby powder, tomatos with salt, swimming, black lace, cinnamon gum, paperback books, a brisk wind, huge gemstone rings, indirect wafting clove smoke, clinique lip venom, cashmere, high peep-toe heels, being hugged....
