Mother fluffer.

Monday was a long day. I welcomed the pending weekend by leaving the office 10 minutes early and got in line for the 4:30PM boat out of Kingston. John met me in the U-District, and then we drove over to Capitol Hill. He's apartment sitting for his road tripping friend, Jay. After dinner at PF Changs we went to see Leatherheads...yeah, that new George Clooney movie. It was a little slow, which isn't a good thing for me. If I get bored in a movie theater I start acting like I'm 8. I loved being able to walk down to the movie theater. Everything is so much easier without a car in the city. Rock band (not impressed, by the way) and South Park. And then at 11PM I zonked out.

The next morning we got coffee (and a free hot chocolate!) and perused Broadway shops. I picked up Vampire Weekend (!) and Serah Cahoone. I'm in love <3. Wii the rest of the afternoon.

Angelene and I did the culturally sensitive thing by going to the Seattle Jewish Film Festival. Love and Dance, "Billy Eliot meets Mad Hot Ballroom." I have a new fondness for Foreign films. And bffs.

Sierra and I grabbed bubble tea on the Ave after that. Talked law school, boys, and Mexico.

God is good to me. It's not every week I come home from Seattle so happy.

Just like Laguna Beach

I'm going to Cabo!

Now I have to get my passport.

Done and done.

I'm getting an iphone.

In September.

But. I'm getting one.

I meant what I said, and I said what I meant.

An elephant's faithful 100%.

I think I'm going home to see my Dad today. I've got a hankering for some Levengood debauchery. I probably don't go home often enough. I AM just 5 minutes away.

John and I grabbed dinner at That's-a-some Italian Ristorante with his parents last night. I was less than impressed. The menu was very limited. And at best it was mediocre italian food. I know I'm a terrible person, but I put on my barely tolerant face in situations like that. It's become automatic. And I can't convince myself to be nicer than that. But, I'm the nice girl! Different standards, I guess. And I'm stubborn like my dad. I'm learning more and more every day how impossibly opinionated I am.

Congratulations

Maybe I'm being over sensitive. But, it makes me feel like crap when I see my friends from school (who have only been dating for one year) getting engaged. Why isn't it me?

I know I'm lame. Whiney girl. But. I can't help how I feel right now.

I dream of caffeine

Mmmm, free latte. I've been waiting to use my freebie. Today's the day. And I am SO happy.

Earlier I walked over to the museum to deliver Shana's mail. I passed Ethel and a delivery guy and flashed a big smile. I was half way down the side stairs when the guy turned around and said "Thank you for your smile!" I think that made my day.

Oh, and a little kid just peeked through my office window and waved.

It's the little things, isn't it?

Julie's Day Off

I'm in the office all alone today. Which means that I can afford to doddle.

I've had a 2 day jogging streak. And I plan to make that 3 after work. It feels good. I don't know why I let myself fall out of the habit. I could blame it on having friends around all the time. But, now that I've realized that I'm not missing out on anything I'm going to start taking care of business.

It sounds like PG Management is going to can our weekend maintenance guy. I feel bad. But if you're not pulling your weight...it's what happens? Who knew such a laid back crew would take such drastic action.

huh.
