day off

am listening to sarah brightman while waiting for my hair to air-dry a bit before going out (it's been doing the frizz thing lately.) today i have the day off! glorious freedom! boy, working full time really makes you appreciate the moments you're NOT working. work has been getting better as i'm finally getting used to being on my feet for 8 hours, and also getting used to the work itself--realizing that not all bookstores are created equal, and so i should stop comparing the one i'm working in now to the one that i used to work in.

it takes me about 30 minutes to drive to work, and the road i drive on goes right through an orange grove. lately, as i've been driving through with my windows down, the most heavenly fragrance has danced through the windows into my nostrils. i had heard of orange blossoms, but couldn't really see them on the trees as i passed by. one evening as i drove home after it was dark, the fragrance was so strong that it permeated my car, even without the windows down! so last weekend, i examined a branch of an orange tree at a friend's house, and sure enough, it was loaded with gorgeous smelling blossoms. i now want an orange tree.

my sister and brother are going to be here in 2 weeks! we've already decided that we're all going to six flags one day--i've never been, but love roller coasters. i haven't seen my sister since our wedding last july--it will be fun to have them here. i hope the weather behaves itself.

hair is most certainly turning to frizz, really must go.
