busy weekend. lots of fun. friday evening was spent in the lovely company of liz. it was so cold that night. it was like 7, and i was home alone, and cold, so i'm like hey liz, hang out with me. we grabbed food (of course!) and then watched some 007. i returned to my cold and empty casa around 1130 and surrounded myself with all the blankets and pillows (heat at 70+) and watched some dave matthews stuff (end of driven and then a concert with emmylou harris) in those wicked comfy soccer shorts, a tank top, and birkenstocks.

saturday i had a debate tournament. lets just not go there.

after i left that i headed off to la biblioteca and got my study on. finished up an analysis review, started some chem stuff. havent quite started history, not bothering with spanish (as if thats a real class!!!! oh wait. yeah... it is... oh well), religion is all subjective, and english is just an old ap exam (so i cant study for it anyway). then i went to guitar center for a bit. i decided that if i get over a 90 on all my exams, ill treat myself to a new pedal. (if i get over a 95 on at least 4 [and over 90 on the other 2], ill get a new amp) incentives, incentives. it certainly gives me something to think [dream] about when i'm stuck in the local library for 4 hours.

i arrived at rachel's for the pats game around 630. let me preface this by saying i have not watched a football game (other than joe's thanksgiving game) since the pats won the superbowl in... 2001? i just dont understand it. the end, love jess. but it was a great night. me rach liz scorp katie matt dylan kelly brian tim dan and kieran. good times, good times. rachs dad makes killer pizza (if you take get it without meat and cheese) and kelly made a 'wifes' (4 life) cake which we all enjoyed. dan hadnt changed since thursday (he kept threatening to hug me!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhh!), and he and bri were both wearing school pants. katie and matt and rach and tim made me uber- feliz. the game was intense, and matt had to suffocate me for a few minutes. we all departed at the game's end (pats won). i came home and fell asleep watching snl. 20 hour saturdays are exhausting.

woke up just in time to make the acadec meeting today. as usual, nothing was accomplished. our motto: while you were studying, we were partying. jon and i wanted to print out the 800+ pages combined chemistry test banks to study for the exam but the school's computers were being mean. one of my highlights was when mrs. l. was trying to figure out when to schedule our next meeting. next weekend we told her we'd all be studying and then no one would want to meet the saturday after exams anyway. so for the second saturday cancellation, she wrote "hungover" on her calendar. it was classic mrs. l. madeleine's so lucky.

after acadec it was off to the providence place for... {{shudder}} winter ball dress shopping. luckily i found [what i think is] the keeper in the first place i looked. suh-weet. it wasnt as bad as the freshman year search. (the salesperson lady, when she laid eyes on me after trying on my first dress, remarked: "my!!!! you have such a nice............ [excruciating long pause as she desperately search for anything nice on my physique]............. clavicle!" i wanted to curl into the corner in a poof of tulle and die under it.) almost 4 hours later i was home, only to leave again for my school (for a student council wb planning meeting) after grabbing my favorite dinner. (see following recipe)

tomorrow i get to miss the first two classes for a late doctor's appointment. score.

today i will leave you with two treats:

I. fluffernutter recipe:

ingredients:
2 slices bread (i prefer white, but must usually settle for the no fat no carb whole wheat stuff that tastes almost as good as air)
fluff
peanut butter (get yourself the good kind-skippy or something- not the all natural oily stuff my mom buys)

1. lay out two pieces of bread side by side.
2. put peanut butter on one piece of bread.
3. put fluff on the other piece of bread.
4. smush together.

my favorite part about this recipe is that you can determine your own ratio of fluff to peanut butter. usually mine is something like 20:1 (fluff:pb).
