and i am also grateful for...

an alarm clock that works... most of the time

a roommate who knows exactly when to wake me up after oversleeping for two hours

an apartment that is so conveniently located that i still make it to work for my 8:45 start time, despite waking up at 8.

so, yeah, i kind of overslept this morning. so, i'm not wearing any makeup. but, in good news, we finally got some groceries, and i managed to pack a lunch! no more $10 prepackaged sushi for me! also, i am wearing an entirely new outfit that i got supercheap at h&m yesterday, before battling the COMPLETELY INSANE crowds caused by the lighting of the tree in rockefeller center and actually walking the 50+ blocks down to harry's. which was delicious and delightful. of course.

really, there's nothing like a quesadilla and 3 margaritas to take the edge off of a brisk 3-mile walk in uncomfortable shoes.
