Embarassing moment of the day
One of the heating elements in my water heater went out a couple of days ago. I thought I could suffer through the lukewarm showers for the weekend, but when I realized that I couldn't even wash dishes or clothing in actual hot-hot water, I decided to call maintenance at my apartment complex. Of course I called them at 4pm on Friday (give me a break, I just woke up after doing overtime on my day off last night), so I have a feeling they were cursing me behind my back before they came in. These are the same men referenced in previous embarassing experiences: see here.
In order to get to my water heater, they asked if they could move stuff around in my closet. More specifically, what is actually a shoe holder: a tall compartmentalized thing that hangs in my closet that i actually store fabric and other things in. So, I said sure. So the one guy helped me move it, trying to minimize spillage.
*sigh* I should have thought ahead on this one.
Yes, most things stayed in the organizer. What did not stay in the organizer and instead spilled out in front of my closet was what was on the bottom compartment: 5 brightly colored bikini swimsuits. That are quite obviously bikini swimsuits.
As they lay in a pile in front of the closet, one of the men starts reaching for them to move them out of the way. I almost died of embarassment on the spot. I mean, really. They're not underwear. But they're almost as personal.
I told the guy not to bother - as I quickly shoved them into my laundry hamper.
Oi.
My only saving grace was that I semi-cleaned this weekend so the place was picked up, does not smell like wet dog, and I don't have any other articles of underwear hanging out in my bedroom or bathroom.
However, also please note that since I just woke up right before I called them (they came right away) I was still in my PJ's and robe with my bedhead half-tamed into a ponytail.
I'm hoping thats my only major embarassment for the day.
I would post more, but I'm in the middle of some culinary genius in the kitchen (note the hint of sarcasm), and I need to keep checking that Atticus does not get into the bacon.

May the force be with you
I was playing with a glow stick yesterday at work. I find them fascinating at apparently any age. I mean, really...it glows!!!
Got to start my weekend 2 hours early this morning. Only cause I did two days in a row of overtime.
I have absolutely nothing interesting to post. Nothing at all. I have enjoyed my break from sewing, but maybe its about time to get the machine back out and work on some upcoming birthday projects. Oh, and I can't remember if I already said something...one of my coworkers commissioned me to make her a medicine kit. Hard to explain. When I end up making it I'll post it. Otherwise, not a lot going on this weekend. I'm pretty glad....I've been really busy for the past couple weeks and I miss my lazy days of hanging out with Attie watching the Office. I'm determined to put in some quality TV time this weekend.
Hope you all are enjoying your Fat Tuesday (oh, how I miss fastnachts!).

reflections
Not really posting to reflect on anything, but just to give myself another 5 minutes to switch my brain to a lower gear. Mentally reflecting on my night though. I had a long night at work - both hour wise (12 hours), and with the types of calls. It literally DIDN'T STOP all night. Troublesome call on top of troublesome call. I got tired of calling out people with specialty skills...."hey, this is Alicia in radio, I was wondering if you were available for...."
Looking to snuggle with this guy, who in turn wants nothing more than to run around and play.
I gave him some freshly made biscuits (last night I made pizza flavored biscuits - they include mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and a little garlic) to make up for the fact that I'm a slacker.
Beat.

4am cottage cheese
Yes, thats right....I cannot sleep. My day off, and I cannot fall asleep. And I've even been up since 10am yesterday morning.
So, I'm indulging in 4am cottage cheese and season 2 of Parks and Recreation.

Morning
I'm up too early this morning. I have to go to a training (on my day off!!!). Already looking forward to getting home tonight.

The start of something new
Without the help of the point of view of the picture, you would never guess which shoes are mine...
Yes, the silver-sequined ones at the bottom are mine. Random. I'll try to take a better picture next time I wear them.
