i take the blue ones every time

This is a four-minute post. I think I'm written out for the day, so this is going to be v. brief. I spent the day at the day job finishing with the catchup on all the emails that I got over vacation, finishing edits for an email the big boss was sending out, and coming up with talking points for a couple of her upcoming presentations. I was at the office until 6:30 because I had a meeting with someone in China (yes, China), but I managed to make it home before collapsing from hunger, and I made myself a big plate of cucumbers, tomatoes, pita, and hummus (mmm - clearly I'm going to the opposite extreme of my Midwestern diet from last week). I ate my deliciously snacky dinner while catching up on the last two episodes of "Project Runway" -- this is the first time in several years that I've followed a reality show from start to finish (the last one, embarrassingly, was the season of "Big Brother" that was on while I was home on leave in spring of 2008). Actually, I take that back -- I followed most of last fall's "The Next Iron Chef" as well. But, I've enjoyed "Project Runway" thus far, and I'll be sad to see it end.

However, I continued to do similar tasks tonight as what I do for the day job, only without getting paid for them; I spent some time editing a friend's grad school application, and then I spent even more time drafting a blog post for the group romance blog that I'm part of (just realized that 'group romance blog' sounds vaguely pornographic; to clarify, it is a group that writes about romance, not a blog devoted to orgies). And now, I need to go to bed so that I can get up in six hours and make it to work on time for the only important meeting of the week. Goodnight!
