Am at Valerie's as I type, work was ok today but driving to Val's was a nightmare, 2 accidents and some yuppie schmuck tried his damnedest to kill my but I thwarted his plans, mwahahaha. Had lovely roast lamb supper with the Franks and Auntie. Are attending 100 Minute's War tomorrow, might meet T. there as he told me he would be attending as well but who knows, certainly not me.
Am trying hard not to think of D. as it always upsets me and makes me doubt my decisions. Damnit to hell. ( 8:41 PM )
Got my bedskirt in the post today, yay me! It's very nice, and well worth the $. Am now requiring new pillows-- perhaps some European shams as well as nice plump pillows for that comfy feel. Will be more comfortable to read and study in bed as well, instead of making do now with current skimpy flat scraggly pillows. ( 3:38 PM )
Joe turned me onto the funniest site I've seen in a while, and it's completely due to the way this guy writes-- no amusing graphics, no anything but his bizarre thought patterns. He's really into Planet of the Apes, and thinks waaaaaaaaaay too much about the meaning of various song lyrics. Hysterical. ( 10:18 AM )
Have received two of the items I ordered online, the cheapo sheets from eBay and the comforter. Sheets are, well, cheapo, but will be good when I'm sick or Aunt Flo is visiting, as I won't feel bad bleaching the hell out of them. The comforter is AWESOME, fits the duvet cover perfectly and is puffy and warm. No more shivering under 4 quilts that are sliding off! Am v. happy. ( 12:13 AM )
Today was rather upsetting in general, was quite short of temper and weepy, and culminating in Mom and Grandma having a hell of an argument during the supper I made (a sort of casserole-- sauteed onions, garlic, and peas layered under chicken breasts in gravy and mashed taters I browned under the broiler). Tasty, but turning leaden in my stomach as the two of them shouted, cried, accused, and acting horribly in general. This family is absolutely toxic to each other.
Managed to clean out Gram's closet, though. Turns out, she has a big box just full of never-opened Happy Meal toys-- some of them Beanie Babies, Barbies, etc. Could be worth summat. ( 6:51 PM )
Got Dad's prezzie in the mail yesterday, turns out that the stones in the jewellery he sent are like puka or paua shell, or perhaps just very blue opals, but they're gorgeous, and so bright! I'm wearing the pendant now. Necklace is lovely, very silky and smooth. Am hoping it's stronger than the last one.
Class was fun last night, we discussed the ethics and legality of lawyer adverts, and the history of them. Handed in our papers, didn't get my exam back. Am afraid to see what I got. Am determined to do better now that am working half-time. Only 4 weeks left! Has gone so fast, will miss it but next semester will come soon. ( 12:21 PM )
Am home after a surprisingly fun pm. Movie was hysterically funny, the whole theatre was crying, we were laughing so hard. Owen Wilson is a cutie, and it was a pleasure to see Eddie Murphy being funny again.
Went after the movie to H.'s, who was hosting the monthly yenta party. Had a pleasant, if low-key, time but everyone left by 10.30, how disheartening. I remember the good ol' days when we'd sit around talking, laughing, and eating until almost 1. Bunch o' old farts, we are now. ( 1:21 AM )
