Not sure about you, K, but my Tuesdays usually end up going awry. Last week I stained a new blouse, banged my thigh hard enough to bruise (roughly the size of a dollar bill) and took the metro in the wrong direction. Ouch.
Let's try five things to perk up the day:
DC had snow flurries four times last week. Although I prefer snow that accumulates, looking out the window and seeing something beautiful brightens even the cloudiest day.
I took a trip to Trader Joe's and discovered frozen macaroons, which is fabulous because I am addicted to macaroons. Thaw them for half and hour and you're good to go. They're meant for dessert, but I like them with a cup of tea for a snack.
Valentine's day means flower sales. I bought a foolproof hyacinth plant. Add water, place in a sunny spot, and flowers should appear in a week. I put it on my desk (sunniest place in the apartment) and it's doing well next to my card boxes.
My roommate works with a nonprofit dedicated to Chinese-American relations, and we were able to attend a celebration of the lunar new year, with a focus on silk fashion (there were models and everything). One of the event photographers snapped a picture of me, and now I'm in a Chinese newspaper. See above for my favorite dress exhibited, or check out the professional pictures (I'm on slide three) at http://news.xinhuanet.com/photo/2013-02/01/c_124312990.htm
PS - K, did you see the Alex and Ani commercial during the superbowl? Your christmas present has put me well ahead of the curve.
