... another sad day for us :(.
nothing much to say at the moment so here are a couple songs which are more 'uplifting' than this post (i meant to rave about these songs earlier in the week and am now realizing i won't be in the right mood to do so anytime soon) and a quote someone posted this morning on their FB.
".. and the air is thin
and it blows through your skin
and you feel like something
is about to begin.
and the walls spin
and you're paper-thin
from the haze of the smoke
and the mescaline ..."
Tuesday afternoon I dropped my new best friend at the airport. She's moving back East. This morning I dropped Him off as he and 39 other guys will be bicycling from SF to Redondo over the next 5 days. I'm so proud of Him, but I really miss Him.
In His absence I am determined to do the following - work out, clean my apartment, clean His apartment (boys are dirty), do laundry. I have plans mostly all day Saturday. I'd really like to rest since I've been out doing "farewell new best friend" activities for the past 2 weeks. I'm pooped!
Today I just wanted to stay home and sleep. But I came into work, I'm getting stuff done and I'm eating pizza (a counter measure for my big workout at home tonight).
I hope everyone's doing well. Sorry my dating updates are boring.
A transformer down the street blew out after catching on fire and power went out completely. We had 5 outages thru the morning but this one literally put us out on the street, complete with a campus-wide evacuation notice.
I sent the entire team home even before the evac notice, now am just laying around watching tellie and cleaning up the apt. Wish I just took the day off or had gone to the beach!
Kill me now and put me out of this misery- I actually find these kids adorable.

Btw, it was almost impossible taking a picture of kids yesterday, they were bouncing off the walls from the sugar overload our company provided. I've never seen so much cotton candy around.
Wow, there is SO MUCH sugar flying around the office these days :(. Today I need to pick up ice cream for someone's bday surprise, there's a campud Halloween celebration where I'm sure cookies/candy/cake will be aplenty, yesterday we got a truckload of dove ice cream bars for our giving/charity campign and now I just found out on fb that someone has macaroons from France (must. eat. this) and she is willing to share one with me but "not with anyone else."
Weekend plans: get hair "did", two partays, maze/haunted house in a corn field, embark on quest for tomy "sunshine buddies" and just some good old fashioned errands. I sense fun times ahead.
one hint...
i'm making it with foamboard and so far, this is what i've got. i hope it doesn't turn out lame!
A week ago, we stopped by a pumpkin patch with Kylie and THK got us three mini pumpkins. His was the largest, about the height of a coke can. Ky's pumpkin is teenytiny. I spent all last night carving these... next year, we're getting regular full sized ones!
i had to off two ppl but a girl has to do what a girl's gotta do.
when i was told last thursday that the window i've been eyeing forever was passed up by someone more senior than i, i immediately jumped on it. i asked if it would be OK to start moving my crap into the new office before the official move date (which is tomorrow, wednesday, 10/28) and he asked, "got cash?"
as a matter of fact, i did. i had $2. he laughed, "i was kidding!" when i showed up at his office with the money.
heck, "I'M NOT. if $2 is all it takes for you to give me the green light on moving in NOW, it's A BARGAIN."
MEN-SI-VER-SA-RY (m n se-v r se-r ) noun
1. The monthly recurring date of a past event, especially one of
historical, national, or personal importance: a first date
mensiversary; the mensiversary of the founding of Nerstone Pictures.
2. A celebration commemorating such a date.
from Latin: mensis, month + versus, past participle of vertere, to turn.
Well, it's been one month official. I wouldn't normally celebrate something so soon. Talk to me on month 4 and I'll let you know if we're getting somewhere. It seems important to Him though and we're going out for a secret dinner tonight.
He's also making me fat, we're going out to eat so much.
He's still crazy about me and I adore being with Him as much as I can. Who knew this could be possible?
