Sunday, October 5

random...

it is a gorgeous sunny sunday and i am not on a mountain :(

stupid being sick. i'm getting over a bad cold/sore throat fun... i was pretty miserable wednesday through friday, super congested, coughing, throat killing me, kinda loosing my voice, slight fever, so i decided to be smart for once and not go hiking today. and after talking to amy tonight she laughed and said i must have been sick to not go hiking as it takes a lot for me to admit i'm sick. though i still went into work all week. and when i got home i cuddled up with my blanket and hot water bottle and a cup of tea (or eight).  so it has been a quiet week. didn't go climbing on wednesday, the thesis pub crawl is postponed until next week. 

so i've slept a lot the last few days, read, ran errands in town on saturday, watched a lot of crappy tv and today i've cleaned... so i must be feeling better. 

so some random thoughts from the week.

sweatpants are driving me crazy! seriously. 
how old are we people? last time i checked sweatpants were not worn out on a daily basis in public after 4th grade. i remember the guys who constantly wore sweatpants being made fun of in 4th grade, i swear bobby did not own a pair of jeans... 
irish guys wear sweatpants EVERYWHERE. class, the shops, pubs, work (my jaw dropped when i saw the guy who works in the city library wearing sweats) out in town... how hard is it to put on a pair of jeans, ok.. even on a lazy day tracksuit bottoms? ok i admit they are comfy, after a day at work and it is pouring out there is nothing i like better than putting on my big black ones but that is once i am home, and not going out again... they are marginally acceptable at a 9am lecture friday morning or in the dhall on sunday morning brunch, but 3pm on a weekday = NO. 

duvet covers. 
i did a lot of laundry today, i need to make my bed. i am not looking forward to wrestling with my 2 duvets to get the covers back on. seriously i have to crawl inside them to get them right. and i am tired. this isn't going to be fun. 

sour patch kids. 
i opened the last bag on friday evening. i must hide them, as i am eating them too quickly.

birthdays.
there are lots of birthdays in october, cards are expensive. and now i have lots of letters to write and post. 

talking on the phone makes me happy. 


anyway, must go wrestle with the duvet so i can get some sleep. its monday again!

hey i rock the sweat pants occasionally! but i am in art school and kids in my class wear like one piece coveralls with the name joe on them, or fedoras, or both so i blend in nicely... I also wear mens swim trunks (think Hawaiian print) to class as shorts when i am low on clothes or just feel like being weird... hahah

I love sour patch kids, but man do they destroy your mouth if you eat too many. I remember being a kid at the movies and I'd always get SPKs, then eat the whole box in one sitting. My mouth would be messed up for a week. It's danger candy!
