with summer slowly drawing to a close, and school creeping up in 18 days (*gasp of surprise*), i havent been spending much time in front of my computer. sincerest apologies.
this is my last week of work, and i hope to cram in 35 hours (we'll see how that goes, though, maybe 30 is good enough...). this means that - after i receive this week's paycheck next friday - i will be completely, utterly, and totally without any source of income save for christmas and my birthday. so if we have plans any time after this week, let's do something free, mmmkay?
so let's see... ah, yes... friday night was spent in the glorious company of sir jon wall and saturday my mom and i bargain hunted (our way of bonding, i guess) for dorm room stuff. such immense success! homegoods, linens 'n things, target, and pier one. (restoration hardware and pottery barn didn't quite have what i was looking for as far as dorm room furniture goes!!) i was exhausted by the end of the day. and i still need to hit bed, bath, and beyond! sunday was gloomy and i hibernated. i crawled out of my bed around 2 and finally had the energy to open my bedroom door around 330. i watched requiem and read. all day.
yesterday i put in 8.5 hours at met, then hopped on over to my eye doctor for the fifth time since i've been home from spain. ridiculous. first i needed to go for my regular checkup, then i had a bacterial infection, then a viral, then i needed to pick up my glasses, today i had to get fitted for contacts, and in two more weeks i go back to make sure these contacts are the brand that i want to order.
last night jeremy and i had a sumptuous dinner at cassarino's on federal hill, followed by dessert at caffe dolce vita. the entire evening was lovely. we ambled aimlessly down the cobblestone sidewalks of the trendy 'hill' until it grew rather chilly.
-tangent - why was it 64 degrees last night? um, hello, it's august. it's supposed to be hot all the freakin' time.
tonight jon and i are seducing hanging out with madeleine. oh, the chaos that is sure to ensue. watch out, garden city. you've been warned.
today marks the day that i finally - yes, finally! - got rid of that god awful j.lo ringtone of mine (i'm willing to bet that patty just rolled her eyes and pumped her fist in the air and said "yes!!") i replaced it with green eyes by - who else - coldplay.
i think i like it so much because i like to pretend chris martin is singing it to meeeeeee
Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I come here to talk
I hope you understand
That green eyes, yeah the spotlight, shines upon you
And how could, anybody, deny you
I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter, now I’ve met you
And honey you should know, that I could never go on without you
Green eyes
Honey you are the sea
Upon which I float
And I came here to talk
I think you should know
That green eyes, you’re the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who, tried to deny you must be out of their mind
Cause I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter, since I met you
Honey you should know, that I could never go on without you
Green eyes
Green eyes
Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
