some time off, FINALLY....

PHEW! i finally have a day off! thank god! i am so excited... time off is better than i ever remembered. i love not doing anything. i love not having to wake up at 6AM. i love not having to sit through traffic for an hour every morning. i love not having a plan to do anything. the only downfall is getting sucked into watching tv all morning and not getting anything done, that i need to get done. god knows i have a ton of stuff to take care of, that i've been putting off for weeks now because of work. i have so much crap to do to prepare for the condo. i need to call the seller and discuss some logistics. that will the be the biggest pain in the ass. so i better get that out of the way first. i also plan on working out today. oh, i also need to look for a new job. hopefully monster will be good to me today.

i think i've officially become a sex and the city whore. (excuse my language). i'm too obsessed with watching all the episodes now. that's the problem with having season 1 and season 3. i can just veg all day and watch all episodes from both seasons. too bad the dvd player isn't downstairs. my room is just too small to totally veg. oh well. i guess i just have to get over it. i suppose i can still watch maybe half the episodes today. don't need to be anywhere until 830PM tonight. i'll probably work out in a couple hours. come home, watch some tv, go to oak brook and return those j crew pants and then head into the city. i hope i'm still able to return those pants.i really need that 100 bones. those pants have been in my room for i don't know how long.

i've realized this past week, that i have a lot of food crumbs in my little laptop here. i cannot wait until i can switch this thing. goodbye ibm...hello dell. i don't know if it'll be better because they have that little extra mouse pad. that may get in the way of my typing. but i'll live. at least it'll be new.

what do i have in my room that i need to return? those j crew pants. and those eyelash curlers. shoot, i hope i can return those. i frickin lost the receipt for those things. and they frickin cut off my eyelashes! how dare they?! i'm just going to go to good ol ulta3 and explain to them how horrible that curler is. i just about fainted when i saw that right on my brand new eyelash curler were my little eyelashes! total beauty faux pas. at least it was only about 5 of my eyelashes. and it was in the middle of my eye, so it was barely noticable, unless you were about 2 inches from my face. and that doesn't happen often with anyone. {minus the obvious person, of course}

so tomorrow is the aidsride closing ceremonies! i am very excited to be part of it again. when i saw it on the news on monday night, i was kicking myself for not doing it this year. i think i said that in a different entry, but every time i hear about it, i wish i could turn back time and volunteer all over again. so i really need to remember to sign up next year. and i need to remember what it felt like that first time. maybe next year i'll volunteer for the cali ride. then i can relax somewhere in LA for the week afterwards. how awesome would that be?? something to think about for next year.

what is it about me and soap operas? and reading people magazine? and being so interested in everyone's lives? i know i'm just interested in everyone. and knowing stories about everyone. all the gory details i say. the more the merrier. the more the better. i guess it's all just fun for me. it makes people interesting. i guess i can be a total people person sometimes. other times, i don't want to be bothered. that's just the gemini in me. 2 completely different personalities for me. but people's stories fascinate me. i like stories. maybe that's why i like soap operas. drama keeps me happy 1/2 the time. if there's no drama life gets boring doesn't it? is that why sometimes i like having drama in my life? that's horrible to say, but it's the truth. keeps things exciting.

ok, i need to look up the lifetime workout schedule. i need to get back into shape. if i don't, i'll always be somewhat unhappy.

have a good weekend everyone! and congrats to all those riders who made it through this hot hot week. goooooo RIDERS!
