One Girl Revolution

Guess who's getting a cold? Go on, guess.

I should have known that the exhaustion of Thursday and Friday was more than just the result of a few late nights. I woke up feeling ok, but soon started to feel a little...off. This feeling got worse, I started to notice that I was still really tired (despite sleeping nearly 11 hours), that I kept coughing...yep, all the signs are there.

This really upsets me. I was hoping to go to a concert tonight in Detroit; the son of the family I was house sitting for last weekend actually has a good band, and they're playing at a venue in the city tonight. I hate breaking engagements, doubly so when they involve music. I just couldn't do it tonight - I just want to sit or lie down. I'm fighting the urge to nap, as it's too late in the day to do that without making it extra difficult to sleep tonight.

I'm going to will myself better, though. I'll be damned if I miss work on Wednesday. Not only is it costume day, it's taco day, too. Speaking of, I have to go out and buy boots tomorrow. Yet another reason to get better.

In the meantime, I haven't been completely unproductive. I managed to write an article for all you cash-strapped procrastinators out there - How to Create A Halloween Costume - On Time, On Budget. Feel free to rate it, link it, pass it around, whatever. Hopefully it's at least a little useful.

I also found out that Boy is Internets famous. That's pretty cool.

Speaking of Boy, I happened upon this new clothing collection today. Now, I always promised that I'd never become one of those girlfriends who started dictating what her boyfriend could and couldn't wear, but...wow. I keep picturing him in some of those outfits, and...yes. Very yes. It's also worth noting that the designer just happens to have a last name in common with my handsome man, though I'm not quite sure if that will work in my favor.

Between the smoke in the venue during the show and running around in the cold without a coat afterward, I'm probably going to have a relapse and die of pneumonia tomorrow. But it's worth it.

You want a reason? I got your reason right here.

HELL. YES. I never in a million years thought that I'd get an opportunity like this. Talk about good timing. Best part? He joked with me. And he was very, very sweet. Talk about making my...damn, my month. And November just started.

(Note to vertigojo: I was very impressed by you, and any friend of mavra_chang's is a friend of mine. Thusly, you have been added. If you prefer this was not the case, let me know.)
