cool apps, all caps and homesick saps

loving
the scales - soon there will be a vivacious, muscular five at the end of my weight instead of that pesky, round (but at the time coveted) zero.  right now it's a six, but if i have to cut off all my hair, exfoliate like a mofo, rip off my fingernails and toenails and file even more dry skin from my feet and elbows (oh yes, i use every trick in the book - even the ones that draw blood;) i will certainly stop at nothing to lose a pound overnight

hating
typing in all capitals (scans post to make sure i'm not guilty of said crime:) it's just SO annoying and i am not sure WHY exactly;)


waiting
for a delicious batch of Scandinavian crispbread to arrive from amazon.com.  truth be told, they taste like IKEA furniture but they are 12 calories and 5 grams of fiber each!  i bet IKEA furniture doesn't have that much fiber in it ;

counting
down the hours to the opening of the 99 cent store by my house!  tomorrow is going to be a changing day in my life - kind of, i am not going till Friday when all the high-pain-threshold people have swooped up all the 99c TVs :)

somewhat dreading
tomorrow also - it's five years since my Dad died.  homesick, family-missing sigh :( 

feeling
somewhat like a good/bad Mum this morning for buying Danny the Lorax app. it's a self reading book - you don't even need to be engaged/conscious/in the room.  i mean that whole "read to your kid 20 minutes a day" and you don't need to be there?  now that's awesome (gawd how i envy modern parents... in MY day we had to read books to our children.... i am sure there will be some emotional fallout to the self-reading book, which is why i set it to 'read it myself' ;)

sighing
a huge sigh of relief that the people in the vegan bakery were not abducted/murdered as i feared they had been. good job i didn't report it to the police - it turns out i had been walking by the bakery five minutes earlier last week, before they officially opened for the day - hence all the cakes and sandwiches on display, but no staff.  phew!! i was secretly worried i would be robbed of my prize peanut butter torte.... look at this handsome beast!













wearing
Jo Malone sweet lime and cedar and nutmeg and ginger.  i feel like Martha Stewart's set, only not as tense and terrifying.  it's a good thing ;)

wishing
i could be bothered to take pictures anymore.  sorry Tarnya, but i simply cannot be arsed with it... everytime i take my SLR anywhere, i end up slipping it into the glove box of the car (don't tell thieves) and using my iPhone instead.  they say your entire body reinvents itself every seven years - and it's been exactly seven years since i got my SLR - i think i'm officially over it. Steve Jobs strikes again with his amazing life-changing inventions:)
