wistfulmaid has complained about the quietness of eljay...maybe I have been contributing to that and maybe I have not, but I Always Try To Do My Part.Is is a bad sign that I know the IP addresses by heart for most of the public computers in this building? Heh heh. And I can't even remember
savetheolives's phone number. Or zip code. The storm is blowing in from the west. It's gone from balmy and sunny to grey and cold with wind and dropped at least 30 degrees.
I am eating my lunch of broccoli hidden back in the office, where the temperature is controlled by a gaggle of menopausal women, and it is Freezing.
And my cold has decided to afflict me today with extreme sleepiness.
I found my very first honest-to-goodness grey hair this morning. o_O Not clear. Grey. I have a grey hair. Well, I don't any more. Mwahaha.
And on that cheerful note: welcome to
skye_lark! Glad to have you reading. =)(no subject)
Nov. 9th, 2005 02:36 pmToday is eventful because I am wearing my hair completely bare. No updo, no hairspray, no curling, no straightening. It happens about once every six months that I wake up with hair able to do this with. Interesting.
I am happy to report that I've found it much easier to get up the last two mornings. I have not gotten up late, I have woken up fairly alert on the first alarm....I wonder why, when it was such a problem for a number of weeks. Perhaps I am happier, more content, now? Perhaps because I have resolved an issue...perhaps it was affecting me more than I realized.
Two random sleep things:
1) I love waking up in the wee hours of the morning --4:00 is a nice time-- just to be awake and lie in the dark. I am always much more alert at times like that then when I actually have to get up in the morning!
2) I never use my radio alarm clock anymore. It has a horrible nasty buzzer. I use my cell phone's alarm. Much more pleasant. =)
I do indeed feel old(er) today.

Life is either ironic or very kind
Aug. 16th, 2005 09:56 amI'm wearing my hair up today, in a slightly precarious twist of curls. I forgot to bring any extra bobby pins along to secure anything that may come loose during the day, and I've been fretting about that--I don't even have one spare bobby pin for emergencies!
Then I checked in some books, and one of them had a bobby pin used as a bookmark.
I feel much better now.

Yet another first (me being girly)
Apr. 16th, 2005 09:34 amFor the first time, I am wearing flowers in my hair. The dogwoods are in bloom and I saw them out the window this morning, gleaming in the sunshine. A metaphorical bolt of inspiration struck and I thought: I shall wear them in my hair.
And so I am. Two beautiful ones tucked into a bun at the nape of my neck. How long they will last before they wilt remains to be seen.
I'm such a girl, but I've planned my outfit for tomorrow around dogwoods-in-hair. I shall wear several in an updo, with my mother's long white wedding skirt, the Favorite Black Shirt, and my pearls.
< /girly moment>
The rest of the family left early this morning. So I was up early as well--they couldn't help but wake me, poor dears--and got to really enjoy the sunrise as I was more awake than I usually am at that time. I still can't get over how everything is so suddenly green and glowing, flowered and leafed and Spring. Fresh spring green colored by morning sun is one of the most glorious things in the world.
I will enjoy my two days of solitude.

Jan. 17th, 2005 06:14 pmI cut my hair.
It's...short. Like a shoulder length bob type that's longer in the back, with random layers. At first I was almost horrified, and now I think I like it. Although I will definitely grow it out. It's just a little too short to put up the ways I usually do.
I just can't decide if it makes me look older or not, which was sort of the whole point. I feel older, though, which counts for something, right?
I can't wait to get back to work tomorrow. Not that I didn't enjoy my holiday or anything, but gosh, I do love that place.

Nov. 9th, 2004 04:15 pmI love my new icon. It's a picture from an advertisement in a magazine--for Welsh's jam or something like that. Thank you savetheolives for scanning it for me. *beaming smile*
As a point of great randomness, today I liked my hair. It was conditioned just enough to be tangle-free and stay that way without brushing every half hour, without weighing it down. Thus it was Soft, and Light, and rather more golden then usual.
