I keep smelling leather, and I wonder where it's coming from. Then I realise it's my best. Duh! I rarely wear belts, so it never occurs to me that I am wearing one.

We have a temp in the office. Every time I see her, her nostrils keep telling me to look at them. She has big nostrils. I don't know Why they stand out to me. And she is wearing flip flops. I don't find that very professional for a receptionist. 

My face has calmed down a little. I hope the peeling doesn't last too long. More moisturzer will be needed, I guess. I am looking for a new place to buy Elta Gold UV Shield. It's such a great sunblock for the face. I just don't want to buy it from the Richmond Laser Skin Care anymore. I don't want to support it in ANY way at all.

Last night I watched the first half of China Rises . I am thrilled I found the DVD since I was disappointed to have missed it when it was on TV. I seem to have a strong interest in Chinese anything. I do and I don't want to say much more about the documentary. It makes me think, and I haven't collected my thoughts yet. I hadn't noticed any slants on particular opinions, which is nice. I'll watch the other half tonight.

Saturday was Poola's birthday thing. I feel like I didn't get her something special enough for her 30th. Now I feel really guilty! But I know the guilt will pass. A couple of our friends got her a necklace from Tiffany. That was a great idea. Pity I didn't think of it. A cousin and I got a Tiffany necklace for another cousin's 30th a couple of years ago, and I came up with the idea then :-/ 

And Mr. National Geographic Shoes has been paying a lot of attention to me lately. I wouldn't be so worried if he didn't have a girlfriend. It's just that over the years, I've come to accept that men rarely ever have pure intentions when trying to make friends with me.
