as the world turns

Hooray for Friday! It's good to see this week ending. I'm having lunch today with my flute friend Kristin, whom I haven't seen in at least two years. It'll be nice to catch up. Tonight Evan and I are having a date, but I have no ideas about what to do, so we'll probably end up renting a movie. Saturday will be spent with Debs, because she's coming home this weekend. The controversial boyfriend, Andy, broke up with her on Monday. Needless to say, she's had a hard week. At a school of, like, 500 people, it's impossible to avoid anyone. I would counsel anyone who wants a relationship to go to a large college. :P Anyway, she's okay but doesn't want to be there right now, so she's coming home where Ryan, Myla, and I can comfort her.

All I want to do these days is sit around and watch Friends. It's sad. My hope is that the week of the finale, stores will have an insane sale on the season DVDs and I can get a couple. Right now it's hard to find any of them under $30. Blockbuster has started renting the seasons out by individual disc, so one season is the price of four rentals. Bleah. [/obsessiveness]

Is it just me, or has this Lent gone by really fast? I haven't even finished my non-fiction library books! After hearing Danielle mention it several times, I'm reading U2 At the End of the World. It's fascinating, but very long, and it's due back on Monday. Yikes!

I'm still so excited about Shana's engagement. If they do get married in December, it will complete my (Nearly) Wedding-A-Month 2004. Let's look at the calendar. March was Ashley & Katherine. June is Em & Daniel. July is Kathy & Daniel. August will possibly be dakoda and jdadams (if they move it from June). September is rawee1 and John. October's clear, but there's still time to get engaged and claim it, so ladies, sign up now! November is my work friend Cortney, and now canticles and fettman have December. Whew. Lots of happiness. Lots of blessing. Lots of cake.

What makes these so hard to write is that once I come up with a song, it sticks in my head. Then I have a hard time thinking of another song. :)

reflections

Things I'm happy about right now:

• fun lunches with old friends


• driving down Poplar on a sunny day with a drink in my hand


• proof that I'm not the only one at work who makes mistakes


• Rold Gold pretzels


• planning to go thrifting tomorrow


• taking a day of sanity leave from the labeling project (and I'm on Texas now!)


• my boyfriend giving me second-by-second updates while we're on the phone ("I'm sitting on a ladder. Now I'm standing on a ladder. Hey, that's where our water heater is!")


• getting to see my sister twice in a week


• being told by my old friend that I would make a good librarian :)

And on the other side of the spectrum...( Where I Was When... )

You know, almost all of these memories are connected with TV. That depresses me. Though I guess it was the same for other generations' events...theirs just involved the newspaper or something. :P I'd ask why When Hurricane Elvis destroyed Memphis (7/22/03) isn't on here, but we all know that Never Happened in the eyes of the national media. Tell that to the people a block away from me who had to tear down their entire house and start over. *shakes head*
