this & that
I just came back from a phenomenal post-holiday department lunch at Bread Bar at Tabla. We made sure to eat plenty as it was paid for by the huge corporate behemoth that employs us. The only problem is, dense meals in the middle of the day really do me in. As we speak, I'm locked in a ferocious battle with the sleepies. I could seriously put my head down on my desk right now and nod off dreaming of rosemary nann and raitas.
I'm also in one of those moods where I don't feel like answering the phone and/or returning calls. The voicemail light on my phone is beckoning but I just don't want to deal. It's not that I'm feeling anti-social... it has more to do with the fact that I'm behind on several freelance projects and don't want to have to fib my way through the progress report. Ugh. Anyone want to subcontract some work from me? I seriously spread myself too thin. If you're into photo editing and research, let me know.
In other news, there's a new dating prospect! However, I don't want to say much yet for fear of jinxing things. I will say that the candidate has been screened by two members of My Esteemed Reader Panel (MERP) and they both approve. Furthermore, she's gorgeous, funny and slightly quirky. I think I'm smitten. It's too early to say for sure but for now, I've got the flutter in my stomach and an ever-present coy smile on my face.
We're having dinner this weekend which will be the true test of our compatibility. Will we be able to sustain conversation? Will our chemistry in real life mirror our email and phone chemistry? More importantly, will she be a belcher? Or will she have hands like Skelator? Is she really a senior citizen masquerading as a 31-year-old woman? Will she have crunchy bangs? Or an affinity for Tweety Bird activewear? Will she wear a rain hat even though it's not raining? How about moon boots or white sweatpants? God, I hope not. Wish me luck, people!
And don't forget to vote for moi in zee Best of Blog Awards. Luckily, I'm not bringing up the rear in my category (so far) but I could still use a few more votes. Thank ya kindly!
