What's your best advice on how to deal with the post-holiday blues?
Don't look at your bank balance. Don't set foot on the scales and don't even contemplate putting your skinny jeans on. Instead, relish the last few days of the Christmas tree light glow; continue to eat turkey and chocolate until bursting point; and enjoy all your new presents.
Post-holiday? Is it? Nah.
Avoidance is the key.
(At least it will be for another week...)
i felt so mang chang about everything today. if i continue being short tempered & wanting everything my way im so
sure that im gonna die at the age of 30. goosfraba...*chants repeatedly to ownself to prevent artery from bursting*
maybe because i wasnt breathing well and having a sorethroat plus needing to repeat directions multiple times pisses
me off.
serves me right for wanting to have a party. i will never learn. i will always want something & then regret for doing it.
my bloody nature just wont abandon me.
rest now. another one tomorrow.
merry xmas. love. xoxo

Frequently, I will fall madly in love with a piece of furniture that leaves even my closest friends & allies scratching their heads in confusion. Such was the case with my new desk. When I first showed it to my husband, I could tell he was skeptical, but knew better than to say so...When the glimmer is in my eye, just back away.
It was love at first glance on Craigslist for me:
So I contacted the owner to arrange a viewing. We had several conversations over the course of a few days while attempting to fit our schedules together and I learned that the desk had belonged to his mother and he had the pity-able task of sorting out her belongings. I told him that I was a furniture maker and would take really good care of it...that I wasn't sure if I would refinish it, or leave it alone, but either way it would be loved. In a small way, I think these exchanges may have been a bit therapeutic for him, as I sensed he was perhaps a bit choked up on the other line.
I should mention, in addition to being incredibly kind, he was also extremely fair with the price ($45 for desk, chair, & mirror) and generously offered to deliver it to me for free.
So yesterday, when he showed up, it was an easy no brainer. I saw it on the truck, knew it was love, handed him the money, and brought it in the house. It was a little dirty from being in storage, but a little simple green & elbow grease was all it took to clean up nicely:
While pulling out one of the drawers, my husband discovered hidden treasures had fallen into the back of it. I couldn't believe it - a beautiful desk AND hidden treasure! I had hit the jackpot. The best things we found: an antique bottle opener, stolen from a San Francisco hotel called The Raphael; a porcelain lid to a tiny box (this must have made her CRAZY trying to find it); an old silver swiss army knife? or nail cutter?; and best of all - a tiny gold skeleton key with a #2 on it.
Doesn't that just pique your sense of wonder & adventure like crazy???!!!! WHAT on earth does that key open and HOW will I find it?
Well, those questions may have to go unanswered. I plan to call the man today and offer him what I found...but I'm REALLY hoping he doesn't want them back, because I love them so much! I would like to keep them with the desk, either displayed behind my computer or in a shadow box on the wall. Each item has so much history and so many secrets to tell...If I am allowed to keep them, I know they will provide endless inspiration and possibly good luck while spending long hours feverishly writing at this desk.
When I was a desk jockey in San Francisco, I frequently changed my desktop image to something happy and tropical because I was, well - unhappy & cold. Now that I'm back in Hawaii, I wanted to put some images out into the internets, in case anyone out there is searching for warm, flowery, happy, tropical, Hawaii wallpaper:
I am right now waiting for Mr.P.L.Lee,we are going back to made 'tang yuan"Jon-the chef going to cook us superb dinner,looking forward to all the yummy food.According to him Solister winter is something greater than Chinese new year,never know this before until i know him.
So many partying going around recently.Resolution for 2010???I guess i would be same as last year becoming slimmer,become smarter,this is the final year,i wish i could pause the time,so i can be smarter and slimmer,at the same time knowing that how much time is given,it would be the same too.This year got another mission,i wanna be a great girlfriend.What is the definition of it?I don't know what is that definition of it.I will try to make every minute worth spending and memorable!!
Alvin is away,of course missing him.The house is kind of quiet,luckily Jon and PL is around!!!
