score!
first of all, the weather! reasonable temperatures, cloud cover. it was muggy, but that didn't kill my mood the way the blazing sun does. awesome.
second, joe twisted my arm a little (ok, not much) and we went and got coffee late this afternoon. it's a nice way to break up a long, looong afternoon.
third, i was in a good mood all day. kind of nice to know that i can still be in a good mood.
fourth, my first lab order arrived!! I can't really do reliable tests right now, but that's ok. it's still fun that they're here.
fifth, some jeans that i mailordered arrived, too, much faster than i thought. i'm not sure i like the fit, though. i've got that waist gap problem that a lot of women have, and i'm not sure the fit is good in other areas. it's frustrating, because my perfect-fitting jeans from earlier this year are now too small, and i've had to admit to myself that old navy jeans just do. not. fit. me. it's hard to know if washing these jeans is going to help them fit any better. grumble.
still in a damn good mood, though.
from the lab:
- Scherezade - "Saffron and Middle Eastern spices swirled through sensual red musk."
- R'lyeh - "A hellishly dark aquatic scent, evocative of fathomless oceanic deeps, the mysteries of madness buried under crushing black waters, and the brooding eternal evil that lies beneath the waves."
- Shroud - "Dry white sandalwood wrapped in thin woods, soft grasses and the lightest white flowers layered over cajeput and the warm, deep scent of embalming herbs."
- Nosferatu - "desiccated herbs and gritty earth brought to life with a swell of robust and sanguineous red wines. "
- White Rabbit - "Strong black tea and milk with white pepper, ginger, honey and vanilla, spilled over the crisp scent of clean linen."
- Embalming Fluid - " white musk, green tea, aloe and lemon."
- Jester - This was a frimp! "Huckleberry and red currant with the incisive bite of neroli."

Ooh, Shroud is on my "maybe" wishlist. I want to hear what you think of Sherezade!
