of probable interest to few:
Mar. 18th, 2015 10:04 pm1. I was supposed to up my daily step count to 13,000 on the 9th, but that was our spring break, so I only managed to meet that goal for the first three days of the week. I decided not to worry so much about my count for the remainder of the week because I wanted to actually enjoy being on spring break (which for me involves a great deal of lounging around). I did manage to walk 10,000 steps or more the rest of the week, though, so win!

2. My perfume samples have arrived from Surrender to Chance! Emma and I have a pact that I won’t test scents without her, so I have resorted to uncapping the vial of Comme des Garcons Black every chance I get and sniffing my fingers surreptitiously for hours afterwards. OMG, y’all, I can’t wait to get this on my skin. On my fingers, at least, it smells like salt and vetiver and the most amazing incense and leather like I’ve always wanted a “leather” perfume to smell like but never has before. I haven’t been this excited about a perfume since I uncapped Chanel Sycomore. I really, really hope this smells as amazing on me as I want it to. *glee glee glee*
3. Josh and I are coordinating a conference and we rock. We are doing amazing work, my friends, which we are cementing by hand writing thank you notes to everyone who helps us because Lorraine is no fool. :) We also each got glowing work evaluations and today received notice that our institution will be upgraded to university status come July. In a few months, I will be a tenured Associate Professor of English at a four year research institution! Keep your fingers crossed for Josh as he’ll go up for tenure in the fall. I think things are looking good, but it’s always nerve wracking.
4. Today, Fiona and I were playing outside and she started petting this cat statue we have on the doorstep. And then she said while grinning like a loon (OMG, if I had gotten a video, we’d be internet famous right now): Soft kitty, warm kitty, wittle ball fur, happy kitty, seepy kitty, purr purr purr purr purr (lots of purrs).
