Jun. 3rd, 2005 02:04 pmHow to tell that Sarah is in a good mood: I start washing or putting away other people's dishes in the break room at work. (I usually hate doing my own dishes, even at home, and have to force myself to do them out of necessity. :p)
How to tell that you're getting older: You find yourself looking through Home Decorating fabric swatches on work breaks, and actually doing serious planning for how you will use them.
How to tell that you're not as old as you think you are: Someone who looks to be not very old--probably 40-something--not only calls you "kiddo," but does so in a non-demeaning fashion.
How to tell that your problems really aren't so big: When you read PostSecret, you think to yourself, "Damn, that is seriously messed up."
How to tell that you've gone through seriously bad stuff: When you read the aforementioned website, you think to yourself, "Big deal. What the hell are you whining about?" (I can think of a few people who would actually have good cause to react this way)
Announcement: Moving Sale is taking place tomorrow, 6/4, hopefully from 10am until 5 or 6pm. So, I will be spending much of the day sitting outside, trying to unload my stuffs. Oh yeah, and lots of reading, knitting, and/or biffing around on the laptop.
As for what's for sale, it'll mainly be clothing (ranging from sizes 8-16+), some accessories, small appliances, health and beauty products, and other knick-knackery. (read: no furniture) Come check it out if you want, or tell your friends! E-mail me if you need an address.
With any luck, today I will be wushuing after work. After that? Cleaning and sorting, sorting and cleaning. Well, and WoW. Hey, I can clean and sort during some of those really long gryphon rides, na? :)
