Another Monday
I had a really nice weekend. I got to do lots of cooking and baking. I felt I was using my weekend for something usefull for a change. There was also a dinnerparty that was lots of fun. Nice people, interesting conversation and good food. I had a little something to do with the food part. I also partook in the conversation. I may also be a nice person among the others. So all in all it was nice.
Also went to Ikea on Saturday. I bought a reading lamp. I just had to put it in place when I came home around 12 on Saturday night. I was so excited about it. Then of course I had to read a bit just to try it out. I worked like a wonder - there was light and I did not have to get out of bed to turn it off. And all this for only around 10 euros. I also have like 3 extra light bulbs for it since I could not just buy one.
Friday was not a very successfull day for shopping. No bag and no shoes wanted to go home with me. Two books did. It was weird being in line at the cashier at the book store and the person in front of me asking for the books to be packed. As in Christmas presents. It's the beginning of November for Pete's sake. Buying present at this time would be smart and all but the stores actually packing them this early is just stupid. The cashier even asked me if I wanted the books packed (gift wrapped). I was like "Nein" and most likely gave her a face like "does it look like these are for anyone but me". It looked like everyone but me was either out for Christmas present or sweaters. There were tons of sweaters on display and tons of people buying them. I think it might be that time of the year then though I've never noticed such a rush of people out buying sweaters.
Ok, so I should still be working. I just don't know what to do. Or I should write for sure but don't feel like it. I was just supposed to do these solutions today but they took less time than expected. Then I put this other experiment running but that took less time than expected. Now I just don't feel like starting to write since I could not do it for long anyways. I have also planned a few experiments I could do. I should think of more but I feel stupid just sitting and thinking. Besides if I just sit and think my thoughts have a habit of going places that have nothing to do with the experiments. Though I think I can kind of think about two things at the same time. Or make my brain think it is thinking of the experiments but at the same time let my thoughts wander about. So this might not have made any sense. Excuse me for writing while thinking about the experiments.
It is quite boring starting a week of work and German classes after a fun weekend. At least I have watching the dogs to look forward to for the weekend. It should be a change again. Yes, I will get bored with the internet and it's ability to entertain me again over next weekend. I will also have a tv to stare at and a radio to listen to.

You should have seen the stores in Ireland. I think some of them were playing X-mas music already... And we did fall into buying a couple of christmas presents. I think I have most christmas presents figured out already. I just have to find places to buy them that is. On the internet of course. They might still get here on time. ;)
Gotta go eat breakfast...

Oookey. wrote a long reply here about Christmas shopping, but decided to post it on my own blog :) heh...
Sounds like you had a fun weekend :)
Sitting and thinking isn't all that productive on my case, but I am quite sure it's profitable on your part - as you (along with all my sisters) are smart and good at this sort of things. I've always found it easier to type my ideas to paper (or Excel lately), play around with them and then come up with something reasonable. This is propably becouse I get distracted easily and it's easier to continue my line of thinking if I have something written down. This is why I was never any good at following school lessons.. hehe ;) I'm not sure I'm making any sense here so I'll stop mumbling on :)
Have a good week at work!
