my stomach is growling even though i ate like two hours ago. it’s eugene, he’s not happy with the fact that i’m *trying* to eat a little healthier. since i now weigh the most i’ve ever weighed, and it’s just gross. i didn’t go to school today because we’re doing the same thing we’ve been [...]

i can now see the top of my desk
and it’s not that exciting. dusting makes me sneezy and sniffly and is so not worth the effort. you try living in a major urban area with windows that do not close properly and front and back doors that have a 1/2 inch gap all the way around the frame and see how dust free [...]
guilt sucks
it just does. can’t do anything about it, either. yesterday was my mom’s birthday. she also retired last week. so my dad wanted us to come up and celebrate. only I, for various reasons, couldn’t make the drive. which means I wasn’t present when my dad had some sort of reaction to his diabetes medications [...]
busy busy busy
my parents and auntie came down from the bay area for my concert this weekend. they arrived friday, we did dessert from scoops (the girlfriend is sooo cool!) and then dinner at canter’s. because it was insanely hot, we moved the portable air conditioner into the den so our guests would be comfortable. consequently, we [...]

another productive day
started out with making a flyer for my dad’s new listing. of course, his template is in ms publisher, so i had to upload it onto my laptop, edit the pictures he took this morning and drop them into the little boxes. then we had to make up descriptions for the house. i never knew [...]
my cousin thinks i’m a genius
because i can take what i read on the intarweb and edit it so it might make sense to a six year old. and caption pictures. really, she sent me a very sweet note to thank me and the girlfriend for taking the time to put together the project for her daughter’s class. heck, i [...]
Flat Stanley has left the building
well, he left our house. he’s sitting at the FedEx dropoff location right now, awaiting his standard overnight delivery to my cousin’s school. it was nice to have him come for a visit, but a whole lot of work! we spent part of last night out to dinner with friends and a lot of it [...]
