stop the whining.

this has been a long week. 10 days in a row of work. i hit whining mode about two days ago, which i am sure is quite miserable to anyone who has had to listen to it. I really dislike this about myself, because I know it doesn't actually help anything, its actually slightly, if not totally annoying, and it just makes me even more tired, all the whining, that is. but I do it anyway. Its my way.

so I had today off, and my whining ceased. I slept. ate cereal. slept some more. watched last nite's greys anatomy on the internet because I was asleep last nite at 8:30. around 11 I left to spend gift cards that i hadn't been able to use because of all the working (again, the whining)...only to do something else that is totally my way. I bought 5 tshirts at the GAP. all with my gift cards. no cool skirt, or trendy shirt, but 5 plain t shirts. 3 long sleeve. 2 short. 2 white. grey. green. blue. insanely boring. I had already been into Anthropologie and looked longingly at some very cool dishes. but no, 5 very plain t-shirts. I can't help myself.

on another note...

anyone out there have some suggestions for a good book to get lost in for a weekend?

Story Corps

I could shoot NPR for the number of times they have made me cry this year while listening to the Story Corps, a nation wide oral history project. This is for all my soon to be married folks.
