 i must be the hottest girl on the face of the earth! 

another of my co-workers complimented my appearance today. and this was a guy. a middle-aged, geeky-engineer guy at that. he said i looked "positively feminine" and asked if there was anything different.

after i finished giggling like a damn schoolgirl i confessed to him that i've started wearing a little makeup lately, but it was possibly the cute pink-striped shirt that was making me look so gosh-darn attractive.

it makes me want to go out and flaunt some stuff!

but alas, there is no flaunting in my immediate future. i've got to work tonight, then come home and pack for the beach trip. we're leaving right after work wednesday. (unless ray convinces me that we need to stay at home until after survivor is over, then drive to the beach. i swear that guy is waaay more hooked than i am!)

before coming to work this morning i stopped at the wake forest home depot to pick up the paint for the bedroom. "vin rouge", the color is called. it's going to be beautiful & bold. i also got ceiling paint & a gallon of primer. this is going to be a damn huge job. so far it looks like it's going to be lisa, me, ray & maybe joe helping with the painting when we get back from the beach saturday night. i'm contemplating posting a "help wanted" notice to the neighborhood listserv but i'm always begging for stuff over there, so my conscience may prohibit me from public pleading this time. we'll see.

i wish someone from HGTV would just show up and "surprise" me with a finished room at the conclusion of my vacation. hey, 'while you were out'... i'm going to be out! come on over!

a couple of weeks ago i got a haircut at the garden and the owner, erin, has her friend regan's jewelry displayed for sale. i totally fell in love with this necklace with an old antique locket, but it was too small for me. so i emailed regan, and she said she'd alter it for me. she just wrote to say it would be done next week... and i'm so stoked!

gawd, a couple of months ago i could have cared less about necklaces, but here i am drooling over them now. i'm positively feminine!
