excitement abounds

my sister is coming home today. I was so excited this morning I was up at six. My racing thoughts- as per usual, included:

what was I going to wear that goes from day to night, that would include my coated nudies and new fur lined jacket (these items to make her green with jealousy- although I'm sure she'll have MANY items that make me green with jealousy). This point may seem vain, but I think that being pulled together and expressing my individuality through my clothes is very important, and most of my friends recognize this as an endearing (?) personality trait.

thinking about the weather (it's really wintery out there as I mentioned in my last post) and hoping that it doesn't delay her arrival.

getting really really excited about the trip we're taking to Banff tomorrow. - we're staying in a hotel room with the intent to party friday night and ride (both of our first times out this year!) saturday.

I decided last night would probably be the last time I would have time to do domestic duties before the holidays. So i did them. Grudgingly. Three loads of laundry, some cooking so I'd have leftovers and a slight closet clean up. Okay, that last one is a lie. I seriously have started to lose things in my closet, resulting in many panicked moments and wasted time trying to find 'lost' items. So any slight clean up just means re-evaluating what the piles contain.

So to wrap up, three things I was grateful for yesterday:

1. That my work is very flexible and because of the horrible weather and road conditions, I was able to work from home for a couple hours in the morning. It was DECADENT. My own home brewed coffee, no traffic gripes ( i tend to have slight road rage) and a great movie in the background.

2. That my sister is coming home today!

3. That I kinda thought my slip peeking out from my dress might be interpreted as trashy, but I got major compliments on the look.

This day is moving exceptionally slow, probably because I have to wait till 7:30 pm to see my sister. I need to press the fast forward button!
