glowing mouth

I downloaded a bunch of Amazon indie samplers, and now I'm using them as my playlist for today. This way I can a) discover new music and b) not really have to listen, because I have no desire to sing along to songs I don't know. It becomes background noise. In general, it's really hard for me to listen to music without actively listening to it. Unless there's, like, a party or something.

We didn't hit up the gym last night, because Nate was tired and I had a HORRIBLE tension headache cause by the layering of the normal knot in my shoulder and tired, sore muscles from the past couple days. It literally was an ache that went from my left shoulder blade all the way up to the base of my skull. Rubbing it took the pain away for a while at work, and then Nate rubbed it at home and I stuck it under some very hot water in the shower, but it was still hanging around by the time I went to bed. It feels somewhat better this morning - it isn't a consistent ache, but I'm afraid it's lingering on the edge and will be back by the end of the day. Maybe I'll take my swimsuit to the gym tonight and hang out in the hot tub after my workout.

Made an awesome and delicious dinner last night! Sweet Potato and Chickpea pancakes/fritters/patties. Served them over a bed of spinach. So good. One boiled, mashed medium-sized sweet potato and one can chickpeas, mashed. Seasoned with garlic salt, basil and (pre-sauteed) diced yellow onion; fried in a little olive oil until crispy on either side. Didn't take any pictures, because I get too hungry to wait to eat things. I would make a horrible food blogger.


Wearing my scarf like a scarf today:



Contemplated wearing it like a belt, instead:


Didn't have the courage, so a scarf it stays.

So tired. Need coffee, but it tastes funky today. Maybe Starbucks at lunch - just regular coffee with creamer and flavored syrup? It's going to be a long day. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!

Do you ever wear scarves as belts? Around your waist or your hips? (I have a naturally very high waist -- right under my boobs -- so I think waist looks a little funky on me.)
