bagels, iced coffee, fuji apple...

...Not a bad way to start a Tuesday. :)

Last night was quiet. I went home, took care of the laundry, called my grandparents. (It went much better than I'd hoped.) I decided to let my brother or mother call me instead of me worrying about calling them. I cleaned things up, made dinner, and scrubbed the tub for a long soak...
The last time I got bath goop, the company I ordered from felt generous and tossed in an extra bath bomb. (Left over from Christmas,I think.) It was a unassuming thing in the shape of a bell that smelled like cloves and almonds, with a bit of nutmeg. I plucked that one out of the basket 'o goop I keep in my bathroom, deciding that it was high time I had an eggnog kind of bath. So with an overhand toss,in it flew into the waiting tub...
*Splllllloooooosh*
*fizzzzzzzzfizzzzzfizzzzz*

When I climbed in, I noticed little dark flecks of something floating in the water. I plucked one out, thinking it was a clove or perhaps some nutmeg husk or something. It was gold!!! Tiny bits of gold foil in the water. I stayed in a little longer than perhaps was good for me, just playing with the tiny bits of gold floating in my bathtub.

So in 48 hours I've been bathed in muddy weeds...and gold. Kinda like life. I love it when life throws me strange little suprises like that...

Ms Eff, feeling a little better about things in general...

I have decided...

...to be a princess. Today. That's right, you heard me.

A Russo-American-Princess...a RAP.
(Well,I thought of being a Russo-Italian-Portuguese-German-Welsh-American-Princess, but that spells RIPGWAP. Not very compelling, is it? I thought not.)

Anyway, I will hold my head up high and lofty. I will be elegant and say, "Indeed" a lot. I will
talk about myself in the third person, cover myself in glittery stuff, and bathe in exotic unguents...in other words, no different from anything I do now, so why not just call myself a princess and be done with it?

So from now on, my formal title will be:

Lady Duchess Contessa Princessa Baronessa Von Fledermaus. (Ms)

So there you have it. Take that, world!!!

Ms Eff, taking applications for the Court of um...courtliness. yeah...

*Jeez*

I just found a glittery sequin on my thigh...Where the hell did THAT come from? I think it's from home, somehow.

Glittery things follow me around. Proof positive of my Princessly status.

Lady Duchess Contessa princessa Baronessa Von Fledermaus (Ms), flipping the sequin like a tiddlywink. *Plink!*
