.burrr..

new jersey is damn cold. everywhere in the NE is cold, i think. just like chitown. can't go outside without my damn hat. how will we survive this weekend? burrrrrrr....

i finally have work to do. it's very boring work, but i'm sure i'll figure out what exactly needs to be done and what the implications are of my findings. i just hope i can have enough concentration to get it done today.

i talked to my friend (bridget) who's getting married on the 28th of this month. her reception will be early (like around 4 or 5PM, so i will be able to drive back up in time for annie and marcie's engagement party. hopefully i'll be back in the suburbs by 8PM...is that ok? even if the reception starts late, bridget told me not to feel bad about not eating at the reception..i really want to make the wedding and at least part of the reception. i mean, it's bridget! this girl was my suitemate my freshman year at bromley...those first friends you make in college are the most crucial. and we clicked just like that. she's like twice my size
(in height), but we're like 2 peas in a pod. she's just too crazy, and i hate to miss it...little bridget from bloomington, illinois. can't believe the girl is getting married....

i should probably start working now. that's what they're paying me for, right?


right.

oh, one more thing. i saw that mariah carey special on dateline last night. i don't know why, but i like her. she's defo got charisma. and she may have been lying last night and no one would be able to tell. she seems to have this aura about her and she doesn't seem to be fudging the truth at all. maybe that's how the j.lo interview went. i didn't see that one, but many people have said to me that after watching her on diane sawyer, they liked her even more. i think i'm going to get the mariah cd after work today. but i have to make sure i get back in time for the 2 hour amazing race! woohoo! can't wait!
