low-key weekend off, i'm left shaking my head. where did it all go? on saturday, after a truly awful "breakfast" at the route one IHOP, i did a mammoth costco run (i.e. i was out of paper products, clorox, woolite, electrasol and everything else which powers a household, which was last purchased almost a year ago) which left me exhausted. running around to four other places afterwards left me under the weather thanks to the shitty (terrifyingly howl-y) weather. i saw a streetlight bend over as if it were made of licorice and i freaked.
today i went to j.crew to buy a perfect, super-fine v-neck wool sweater for work (to wear over dress shirts)...and that was pretty much it. they have a v. cute one which comes in every color, natch. i cancelled my two other "to-do"s b/c i am paranoid about being sick this week, which is probably going to be busy, work-wise, since i'm taking a half-day on friday to go up to nyc with saji (i hope i didn't just jinx that). i think it's the most miserable feeling when you're sick but you still have to go to work. i've been slurping orange juice before and after a huge nap i had a few hours ago. i feel okay.
blah blah blah.
here's all you need to know:
1) i have awesome new fuzzy pale blue shearling slippers
2) last sunday in january = birthday dinner in DC
3) feb. 11 = birthday meetup for all flog-philes.
is 8pm too late for number two? heh heh. i typed "number two". ;)

a friend forwarded me a link, a few weeks ago, which totally put me off J. Crew. I'll not share it with you, because it made me very upset, to the point of tears. I know you are similarly sensitive, especially when it comes to kitties and puppies... so trust me at this-- I don't give J Cruel any more of my hard-earned.

Echinacea, girlfriend, get yourself some ECHINACEA!! And keep drinking the OJ. :)

*but-- if you're have allergies to ragweed or hay fever, don't take echinacea because it's actually from the same family and will make you sicker. I only say this as one who didn't know better and suffered for it. :)

Every time I read your blog, I miss DC a little bit more :)
But in a good way.
