la dee da
Today was a glorious day. Except for the wind, but you have to overlook that on a day like today.
It all started when I was able to sleep in this morning - until 9:30 am! Unheard of, and quite enjoyable, if I do say so. Then, I awoke, sleepily brushed my teeth, and admired my pearly whites, which looked particularly nice this morning. I proceeded to tidy up our room a bit, putting away my laundry from yesterday's loads. In a weird way, I actually like doing laundry and folding clothes.
After making the bed, I went online to surf. And do a little bit of work, but it was a small enough bit of work that it really didn't factor into my day much. That rocked!
In case you haven't already figured it out, today was a day off from work. That happens when you work at the administrative offices for your religious community and it's a Holy Day for that same religion. Fabulous! Today was the day we commemorate the birth of Baha'u'llah. <a href="http://us.bahai.org/global/progressive.htm">Look it up</a>, if you are interested.
So, I showered, dressed and ventured out into wildly-bizarre-for-November weather that was just lovely. Again, although windy, it was 60 degrees outside and it was beautifully sunny! WHAT?!?? Believe me - not in Chicago in November, for goodness sake.
I joined some of my friends for a leisurely brunch/lunch in Andersonville, we then went to see <a href="http://www.loveactually.com/">Love Actually</a>, which was SO funny and cute - we were laughing out loud quite a bit - and we topped it off with a fashion show and dinner out in honor of lovely Sonia's birthday. Yay us!
And yay November 12, 2003!
