Set Your Clocks To Sunshine!
Oct. 3rd, 2015 11:37 pm10:54pm: Yes indeed! Daylight Savings begins tonight, yay! Although this does mean it's actually an hour later than it is, so I really should go to bed because I need to get up early to do my laundry, it's a day later than usual because of work at the library today, but if the weatherpeople are right I won't have to worry about my clothes not drying. It's supposed to be 35 degrees C tomorrow! Yikes! I have no idea what I'm going to wear to work tomorrow...I have to wear closed in shoes, but will I be too hot in long trousers? The root of the problem is, I can't wear closed-in shoes without socks because otherwise my feet sweat like a bitch, but you can't wear socks when you're wearing skirt so what am I meant to do? I did try those footlet things, however they just make my feet sweat more!
Also, I haven't waxed my legs, so I guess...pants it is.
What else to report? Well, I sewed my petticoat layers to the yoke this evening and discovered...that I've probably done the wrong thing again. You will probably remember me going on about the gathering and how I used a length of wool to do it? Well, the layers ended up being too tight so when I tried to put the petticoat on I couldn't get it over my hips! So it has occurred to me, I don't need the length of wool after all, it'll get gathered when I attach to the yoke. Big ass fail right there. Now the poor yoke has a hole in it...I don't think it'll get bigger, but how annoying.
But! Work today went really well! I think I'm getting the hang of working at the circulation desk, although admittedly I didn't spend a lot of time on it because for most of the day there were three of us there so I took care of the shelving because there were a Hell of a lot of books. A couple of times it got quite busy, with the HSC and other school exams coming up the computers were busy, busy indeed. Thankfully, unlike yesterday no-one came in when there was only five minutes to closing time to print or scan something.
I wonder how tomorrow will go? The public holiday is on Monday so there could be even more returns and shelving to do then there was yesterday! Plus there will be just me and one other person. I wonder how it'll go.
Anyway, I should probably do the Meme and change the clocks in the house before I hit the hay.
Saturday 9
:Straight Up (1988):
1) In this song, Paula sings about being in a dream. Did you dream last night? I did! It got very strange...one moment I was looking for shoes the next I was helping to translate Russian directions for someone. I think Plushy might have shown up briefly, LOL.
2) When Paula enrolled at California State University, she planned on studying broadcasting and becoming a reporter. Think about your career aspirations when you were 19. Did you follow through and stay on track or, like Paula, did you veer off and find success elsewhere? Well! I definitely wanted to work in a library, and after more than 10 years and some volunteering...that finally seems to be coming to pass! Whoo go me!
3) For a while she was a "Laker Girl" and performed at L.A. Laker games. Do you have a favorite NBA team? Nope.
4) Paula was once married to Brad Beckerman of Stillhouse Spirits, a company that specializes in whiskey. What's your favorite alcoholic beverage? Don't like alcohol.
5) Paula has been dancing since age 8 and, as you can see from the video, Paula moves very well in heels. Tell us about your most comfy shoes. My sneakers are very nice and comfortable although most of my shoes feel a lot better since I got my new orthotics.
6) Paula admits it was her passion for jewelry and that inspired her to design her own line for QVC and Avon. What is your favorite thing to go shopping for? Hmmm...that's a toughie, I do like shopping for books, although I only have limited space so I really should cut down on doing that. I do enjoy shopping for chocolate, LOL!
7) She advises young girls to "keep the faith and don't lose your gut instinct." How about you? Are you more logical or instinctive? Instinctive, sometimes to my detriment, see my recent car buying woes for a good example. :O/
8) In May, Paula traveled to Austria for The Life Ball, a fundraiser to help those afflicted with HIV/AIDS. When is the last time you left the country? Way back in 2001 when I went my friend, my mother and her friend to Bali for schoolies.
9) Paula Abdul is a spokeswoman for Avon's "Go Check Yourself" campaign for breast health awareness. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Do you know anyone who has been touched by this disease? Fortunately no.
Right, that's pretty much all I have to say for today, oh! My cupcakes were a big hit, although my mother really added some class by putting whipped cream on them. There were some left over so perhaps I'll get a chance to have one when I visit the grandparents on Monday.
Oh and I made lasagna for dinner, yum yum! So I'm set for lunch and dinner tomorrow...and the next day too :O)
Right, goodnight all!
