Just A Kiss

The song is completely untrue (meaning the lyrics and message don't apply to me or my life right now), but it's so beautiful and I can't stop listening to it. Lady Antebellum, you've done it again. I normally don't like this kind of one dimension pop music, especially slow stuff, but their voices are so lovely. They remind me of a watered-down Hush Sound. When I say that, I mean their voice combinations remind me of the style the Hush Sound vocals used to be in. The Hush Sound is since broken up, but that's not the point. And when I say "watered down", I mean that their lyrics and message are so completely obvious that there's no mystery to it at all.

Now, however, I'm relaxing after dinner and a day of wandering around. I started with harnessing the kittens up and taking them to my work to visit with some of my coworkers. I learned, happily, that they are right on par with their weight. How lovely! And I got some cute pictures (which I'll upload tomorrow, since my camera is hiding and I can't seem to find it at the moment) of them on the couch.

Then we went downtown to pick up some grocery items for the Christmas party tomorrow. I settled on a veggie platter (celery, baby carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, and snap peas) comprised of fresh vegetables, as well as a meat/cheese/cracker platter, with ham, turkey breast, 6 different kinds of crackers, and marbled cheddar cheese. Oh yes. I think I'm quite prepared. Of course, while in the store, I wasn't too happy and I've actually been off all day. But my roommate (and chauffer, haha) spruced me up with coffee (that I bought, ironically) and positive reinforcement (the promise of sushi afterwards). Unfortunately, the car was having trouble starting so we never ended up getting sushi. But we did have couscous with tomato/spinach sauce and turkey meatballs. Yum.

I guess that's it for today. I'm distracted by The Big Bang Theory.

Recap

Here's a quick recap of my Friday before we go out to visit my work and weigh the kittens to see how much they've grown since their neuter three months ago.

Work was tiring, we had an emergency at the end of the day and a walk-in before that. Both cats were okay, went home quickly, and I was glad for that. My coworker and I got our close done on time and were out on time. It was fabulous. I love evenings like that. I confirmed with my other coworker when her Christmas party this weekend was, and she gave me her address, so that's where I'll be Sunday afternoon. Sounds good. I have to make some food for it, but I think I'll just do a cheese/cracker, veggies/dip platter or something. I'll make it myself, of course. I don't agree with prepackaged veggies/dip and whatnot. So we're going to go to the store today. And visit my work. :)

Anyway, Friday, after work I went home to shower and change, then my sister picked me up and we got a couple movies, then went home to gorge ourselves on junk food and watch movies till midnight or so. It's a tradition in my family that we've done for years before Christmas - a late movie night and junk food, usually the week before the holiday. Since we were usually out of school by then, it didn't matter that as young children we were up till midnight. Haha. My childhood is so drab, but we decided to continue the tradition even though I don't live at home anymore. We watched Sweeny Todd (from my collection), since my brother had never seen it, and then Rio from the movie store, since I said it was adorable. Pretty chill night.

Okay. Now that you know that, I gotta run, and get ready to go. I'm sure I'll do another post tonight. I'm prepared for boredom. And maybe vodka. Who knows?
