things i normally would have no interest in whatsoever suddenly become the most goddamn amazing events in my life. like getting really, really into buying stockings for yr coworkers, and stuffing them with all kinds of goodies (candy lip glosses, weird-o sunglasses, silly putty, etc. etc.).
i'm a monster.
last night on my way home from work i stopped at borders for a journal - a $15 journal - and i managed to walk out with $250 worth of shit. AND i wasn't even in there for more than 15 minutes.
then i wrapped presents. it's sick really; how much i get off on wrapping presents. i got this kick ass black & white houndstooth wrapping paper, and then started tying red ribbons and bows on presents once they were wrapped. someone, stop me.
matt made the most awesome christmas cookies last night, but i didn't realize it until just now. i hate sweet stuff, so i didn't have any last night. just now i tried one, and i swear, i'm gonna eat them all. fucking delicious.
and on top of all this christmas spirit i am currently filled with, i just found out that i don't have to work at all between december 22nd & january 3rd. ANNNND, because i'm a salaried employee, i still get paid. the boys just don't feel like being open that week between christmas & new years. the older one will be moving and partying it up with his hos, and the younger one will be in florida with his family, so they're like, "ah, fuck it. nobody come in."
yes, sirs.
also, to add to this fanfuckingtastic mood i'm in, right before i left work today i got an e-mail from the apparel industry board requesting some of my designs for the biggest fashion show chicago ever puts on.
fucking rad.
and it's like perfect timing because i started working on this new collection (i'm actually a little *too* obsessed with it right now - i can't stop studying mummies), soooo... this will just kick my ass into gear. i have to have at least 3 pieces by mid-january.
so... if you need me, you know where to find me: in my studio, under yards & yards of linen, working my ass off.
thank god.
