A Monday to myself

[electricland]

Huzzah! The Internet is restored to me! (I unplugged the router overnight to let it think about what it had done. This seems to have done the trick.)

Jen is Out West in crunchy-granola-land, as is her dad and my parents, so the dogs and I are hanging out by ourselves. (My entire family has abandoned me. For Family Day. Hmph.) So far it's been pretty good -- it helps that this is a long weekend so I've been able to sleep in ever since driving Jen to the airport at a hideous hour Saturday morning. BLISSFUL SLEEP. This afternoon I plan to get dull but necessary things done, such as: cooking! Changing the sheets! Putting my laundry away! Cleaning all the things! (I'm not THAT crazy.)

Tomorrow: new office down the hall from the old office. My OWN office. With a DOOR OMG. Hopefully this will do wonders for my productivity, although I will miss having officemates.

Have succumbed to the lure of iTunes and am enjoying:

Brigitte Saint-Aubin, Les Reves a l'envers

Ingrid Michaelson, Be OK (as per heroineaddct's suggestion)

Thea Gilmore, Murphy's Heart - long story here, but I discovered her during a downloading binge at Christmas and have been very much enjoying her stuff.

There is a certain similarity about these three. If, like me, you enjoy the work of talented girl singer-songwriters, go to!
