1. I found the best bakery in town, and got one of everything today. I plan to spoil myself this weekend... just because. :)
2. Just saw Coraline, and it was really interesting (tho kinda creepy.... in a good way, tho!)
3. I need to find a new book to read. I left the one I was reading on the plane on accident. Good thing I'd already read the last page. ;)
4. I watched the Gavin & Stacey Christmas episode for the twenty-somethingth time today, and I'm fairly convinced it's the best half-hour of TV EVER.
5. Tea. I'm having some right now. Mmmm!

Can't believe I am the first one here today?!  phatbeetle?  Q-G?

1) It keeps feeling like I've something in my eye and I keep pulling out eyelashes!  :\\\'(
2) I'm going to Andee's for coffee this afternoon.  :)
3) Yorkshire Yanks Book Club tomorrow!  :D
4) I still have 100+ pages of the book to read - good thing I'm off today. (not much housework will get done!)  :P
5) It's sunny out (so far) today.  8)

The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago!  I'm pretty sure that it was in fact a scratch on my eye from taking out my contact lenses.  I've been wearing my glasses most of the time now and it's almost all gone.  When I tried wearing my lenses again before it was all healed, I got that feeling in my eye again (probably irritated the scratch), but it only happens when the lens is out and my eyes are closed.

1.  See Mrs.Robinson's #2!  :D
2.  I am going to make my Morroccon butternut squash and veggie stew today.  [smiley=chef.gif]
3.  I've *got* to practice a bit for my music class tomorrow though I'm still not sure how I feel about the class in general.  :-\\\\
4.  I *might* make chocolate chip cookies this weekend.  [smiley=chef.gif]
5.  I *really* am fed up with negative, phoney people.  >:(

Happy Friday everyone

1.) GP has me on 5 different medications for this pain and I am LOOPY!!!  [smiley=mad.gif][smiley=mad.gif] [smiley=mad.gif]   However, the pain is a bit better, so I can put up with feeling loopy if I can move!
2.) I'm going to a "Mexican" themed party this weekend... old el paso kits I'm sure. But I'm going for the company, not the food.
3.) Its a goregous day outside and I wish I were not in the office and outside in the sun
4.) I'm very addicted to the DS game the Curious Village. Puzzles are right up my alley!5.) Due to #1, I'm having serious difficulty concentrating... 
I've never gotten food on my underpants!

1.  Had a bit of a Mary Tyler Moore moment this morning on my way to work... i wanted to do a twirl and throw my hat up into the air in the centre of Glasgow when i suddenly realised that I am currently living the life I have always wanted.

2.  Boyfriend is away to Sheffield for the weekend, so im expecting a few 'miss you' and 'wish you were here' texts.

3.  Had a cheese savoury from Greggs for breakfast this morning.

4.  Due to no longer having to travel to Edinburgh for work, i was able to watch an episode of Andrew Marr's History of Modern Britain while getting dressed this morning.

5.  It's my friend Yvonne's birthday today and I went to Lush at lunchtime to pick up a pressie for her.

Awwww... so cool! Good on you!  ;D  I have a moment like that every now and again when I walk out the door and realise where I am.  ;)

1.  Andrew will be back in exactly 20 minutes to take Struan for a walk and I'll have the house to myself for an entire half hour.

2.  Easy tea tonight - Make your own pizzas with Napoli bases.

3.  My nails look great!

4.  Looks like some auctions Andrew's got on will do well enough for me to get my hair highlighted - hallelujah!

5.  £85m Euro Millions jackpot tonight, peeps!

1.  The sun is shining.  Except when I try to open the windows to air the house out, which seems to make it immediately go gray again.  So I'll just keep the windows closed for the benefit of everyone's vitamin D levels.

2. Cute kitties!  My little Eliza is sacked out on the couch next to me, and she's both purring and snoring (how does she do that?)

3. I applied for some volunteer work through a website swelch pointed me to.

4. Yorkshire Yanks Book Club tomorrow!

5. The crocuses are in full bloom on the Stray in Harrogate and it looks like someone threw purple and white confetti all over the grass.  Gorgeous!

1) I will find out if Mr. A has an entire week off next week.  Looking forward to spending time.

2) I made a huge pot of leek, celeriac, and chicken stew which is slow cooking and making me hungry with the smell.

3)I am addicted to BBC Radio, and I just realised this today when I decided to check the schedule to make sure I don't miss anything if Mr. A has next week off.

4)I actually slept more than 6 hours last night.

5) Having a particularly good hair day.
