What follows is my exact thought process from this morning:

(passing by coffeehouse)
“I need to go to the gym tonight and I’m kind of tired. I should get some coffee so that I’ll be awake enough to go to the gym later tonight. Of course after drinking the coffee, I’ll have downed so many calories that I’ll have to go to the gym to work it all off.”

Do you see the coffee-drinking/gym-going web I’ve caught myself in??? I’m not sure if that line of thinking is psychotic or brilliant. P.S.—didn’t make it to the gym.

I was afraid that, since I’m now working in the corporate world, I’d miss out on all the food baskets vendors like to bribe you with in order to keep your busin----I mean, show their thanks. I’m happy to report that is not the case and I totally snagged a bag of chocolate-covered pretzels before anyone else because of my primo seat next to the breakroom. What!!? They were Godiva!

I had the absolute best day last week. First, this really annoying girl at work was having a completely ridiculous freakout about some nonsense and it was endlessly entertaining. Second, I was doing my semi-annual searching for a hair-smoothing-thingy I bought in Australia SEVEN years ago and actually found it! It’s made by some company in Hong Kong and is just recently available for purchase in the states. Here’s the link in case you’re interested. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Yes, the price is exorbitant but when I first bought it, the Australian/American dollar ratio was like 2:1 so it was dirt cheap. (AM, did I ever tell you about that perfume I bought!!??) I already told my mom about it so maybe it’ll make its way into my (imaginary) stocking! And I know what you’re thinking: “Staci, you don’t believe in our lord and savior, so why should you reap the benefits of everyone else celebrating his birth and legacy??” And to that I can only say even heathens need hair products.

P.S.--have you ever seen such an adorable niece???
