what's the plan?

okay, this is my plan.
i'm going to finish watching the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh,
then i'm going to think of a topic for my presentation on Thursday,
then i'm going to update my site,
then i'm going to get a midnight snack,
and then i'm going to play on my computer,
and then i'm going to sleep.

gumbo time

what time is it?
i think it's gumbo time.
i'm hungry.
again.

jeremy is napping.
i am going to wake him up.
why?
because it's gumbo time.

like a washing machine

had a pb&j for lunch.
woke up at a decent hour so things are going fairly well considering this is my life we're talking about. i think i almost broke the washing machine. i overloaded it with too many jeans and towels. jerms always tells me to separate towels from clothes but i refuse to be that anal. heh. he'll prolly say "i told you so" now.

my friend eric forgot about the christmas party i'm having this weekend. so much for friends that remember me. i was pretty upset this morning when i found out he scheduled work for this saturday. he's going to be fresh out of bartending school..and doing some gig.

my friend hani, from beaumont is coming up though. i'm happy about that. i think we're going to cook chili, rice, and cookies.

i'm half way done with my paper. i took break from it for two hours. i better get back and finish.

hungry and not studying

it's a very cold and wet day today, definitely a gloomy winters day. i woke up pretty late today but not as late as my brother. we both don't have school anymore. he has to study for finals and i have to finish papers and projects.

we went to see harry potter, chamber of secrets yesterday afternoon. it was a complete waste of time in my opinion. i was pretty disappointed because i liked the first one quite a bit. i think the kids have lost their "cute edge" and since this is the second book, i expected a lot more plot development and perhaps some actually magic.

i think the next few days are going to be pretty stressful considering how little i've gotten done this weekend. i'm about to try to finish up my history paper. i'd like to get that out of the way. no more playing.

right.

i'm starving right now. there's nothing to eat in the house. we need to go grocery shopping. i need food! i keep sticking gum in my mouth but it's not helping much. give me food.

cheesecake factory

We got a pretty late start this afternoon but the day turned out to be pretty eventful. John finally got ready and we headed out the door. We had to pick up his friend Chris first and then we were off to the Cheesecake Factory. John and I ordered the Ceasar Salad and Louisiana Chicken Pasta. Their ceasar salad is HUGE-mungous! Gigantic. It's enough to feed my entire family. The entire meal, we talked about all of our friends and pondered the ideals of ambitions.

After we were done eating, we dropped Chris and John off. We then headed to Famous Footwear to return the boots I bought earlier this week. When we got there, I discovered that the shoes I had bought were now twenty dollars cheaper. I then decided to ask them for a price difference instead of returning them. I felt great being able to keep my boots. I've always wanted tall boots. Now I have to buy things to go with them. :D

We then went on a shopping spree. We got lots of presents out of the way. We also bought our presents for the xmas party this weekend. We're doing a white elephant gift exchange. Basically, everyone draws numbers and then the first person unwraps any gift they want. The second person then gets the choice of taking the first persons gift or opening another gift and so on.

After we got home, I spent a good hour wrapping presents and then another two hours writing christmas cards and then another printing out pictures for empty picture frames.
now it's almost 2am. john and jerms are playing warcraft III...they're in a 3v3 game.
i'm hungry. i wonder what's in the fridge?

the christmas party

Yesterday was my last day of classes. My teacher sat us down for instructions about our final review next Friday. The only requirements he gave us was to be there from 9am-3pm and put the pictures on powerpoint. Hah. I thought that was awesome. I actually get free reign over how I present my project. This is an unprecedented event. Amazing really. I've also never been more impressed with the work my studio has produced before. I wish I could swipe some of the pictures of their stuff to post. Maybe I can dig through the network files and and find some. hehe.

Last night, Jerms and I went to his company's Christmas party. I was freezing the entire time because there was a draft flowing throughout the place. The party was at the Red Oak Ballroom. They had an open bar and appetizers which we helped ourselves too while we were waiting for his friends to arrive. I got sprite and some crackers.
When Jeremy's friend Todd finally showed up, we nabbed ourselves a table near the jazz band. That was a funny little mistake. The saxaphone player was totally tipsy and kept coming to our table to jam out in someone's ear.

Later, when the band was taking a break, he came over and sat with us and began discussing his trip to Paris, France on Monday. I learned more about him than I did any of Jeremy's co-workers. He was a 47 year old jazz musician who only recently started learning how to read music after 30 years of playing. He's never been married and he comes from family of 7 generations of Texans. He's recorded a few albums and has played for Jeremy's company xmas party 3 years in a row.

At the end of the night, the president gave a speech and awarded 3 employees with innovation awards which included a plaque and 3,500 dollars towards a vacation. They also announced that whoever had the orange dot underneath their glass wins the centerpiece at that table. Guess who won?! ME! hehe.. yeah! Something cool came out of the event after all.

Today, we have to do some Christmas shopping...if we ever leave the house.. it's already 2pm. we still haven't eaten. I'm waiting for John to take a shower and get dressed.
