the value of an hour

i woke up today at 4:30. bleary-eyed, i reached for my watch. then i went looking for some shorts and a bra. i was down to my last pair of each. trying to find socks was the trickier part. clean ones anyway. i contemplated for a good 5 minutes whether it was ok to wear cotton socks just this one time, when i realized i had no idea where my vaseline was. then i tripped over about 5 pairs of shoes and about a dozen empty water bottles. then it kind of dawned on me, that my hour in the morning would be better used tidying up the heaps and heaps of crap that had been slowly eating up my room.

now, laundry is separated, clothes are hung, shoes put away, mail is sorted, trash has been trashed, and i can actually see the floor.

tonight after work we're going to sac to celebrate my brother's birthday. at hooters. if there was any day i should have gone to the gym, it was today. luckily we get an extra hour tomorrow. 'cause i'll need that extra hour to burn off some unwanted but tasty calories.

I've never eaten at a Hooters either. I think the wings are supposed to be good.

It's amazing what getting caught up can do for your mental state!

Happy Birthday to your brother.

NEVER EATEN AT HOOTERS?!

Ok, I may be a girl, but I love the Hooter's atmosphere. I love laughing at the oogling guys, they have great food, and hell... the waitresses are even nice to us girls.
