I would love, love a desk area in my apartment. I don’t really have any space for one because I don’t want it to be in my bedroom, but my productivity level at home is suffering.</p> <p><b>Thinking About:</b> How much freelance work and opportunities are coming to me these days….which is why I need some desk space. Honestly, I need to stop being a lazy bum.</p> <p><b>Anticipating:</b> Friday. I love my 3 day weekends.</p> <p><b>Drinking:</b> I’m looking forward to trying these new tea samples from Sami. Ging and I were talking about all the things I said I hated, but now I like (i.e. Beans, Raw Sushi, Water with Lemon, Regular Coffee)…I think Tea is the next thing. I really loved the tea that I had at Judy’s house so hopefully these will be winners too. </p> <p><b>Listening to</b>: Band of Horses and a little Postal Service. One of the warehouse guys burned me a CD with over 400+ songs and I’m actually enjoying it. Sadly, he doesn’t work here anymore.</p> <p><b>Wishing: </b>It was 6p.m. I have a bag of circus animal cookies just waiting for me to eat them at home.</p>http://flipnose.com/post/17173569677http://flipnose.com/post/17173569677Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:36:00 -0800<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyybl2OFht1qz8jzzo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Good game and good sleep.
