I never regret the many pennies I plunked down for really nice sheets. Minimum 400 thread count, Egyptian cotton.

Bed linens are where my luxury money goes too. 450 thread count damask stripe for the win! Though at least I do buy them on sale, unlike the time I spent almost $400 on a faux silk fitted sheet.

Skipping oh-so-way-too much, and just a bit under the wire for the date to change on board time (I have to run to my commute, oh confusing timezones) because, according to Stephanie "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Jan 21, 2012 2:22:10 pm PST today is Sammy's first birthday.

Happy birthday, you big baby boy! With lots of wishes to your mom, your sister and brother, and all your family!

Bed linens are another place where it's important for me to remember where it tops out, sensually. Maybe that's not the right word. But it's late, I'm tired, head hurts, so sensually it is.

But you can watch the dollars and the thread count go up and up, but my skin stops being able to tell the difference.

I'm not sure if that means today or yesterday is/was Sammy's birthday, but a happy one nonetheless.

Happy birthday to Sammy!

Happy Inauguration Day! I don't have a day off, but I am working from home so I can play along.

Didn't bother with hair or makeup but came into the office cause I needed to get out of the house (and I have to work today.) Of course, my officemate is in as well.

No day off. This is a student/professor holiday, but not staff.

I'm going to spend the afternoon/night with my father, and normally I would suggest a long walk, but it's cold, and will be snowy by then! Booo. I guess I'll just wear the big coat and go for it anyway.

Timelies all!

Other than getting lunch, I have no plans outside the house.

So not only did my neighbors remove all the ivy that was on their building (before, after), they also now took the big maple tree (before, recently, now).

The view outside my window used to be so green.

Oh, Tom. That is really sad. It was so lush in the before!
