good fortune.

so this was james' fortune tonight after dinner.

kind of funny.

i had to keep it.

there were eight of us at dinner... my family and some friends. usually when we go out to chinese food, we all read our fortunes aloud. so we were sort of going around reading them... but james just handed his to me. :]

[don't get any ideas though. ha.]

james and i talked a little bit about winter travel plans at dinner. we're thinking about going to korea or new york. ideally, both. but hopefully at least one. we'll just have to see what happens. i want to see all the holiday store windows in new york so badly. and we both want to go to korea, and it's stinking hot there in the summer, so we were playing with the idea of a winter trip. i think it would be so cool if carol could come with us when we go... so i don't know what's going to happen with that. it just would be nice to have someone who speaks korean. james can understand it pretty well, but he's pretty much lost his ability to speak it. funny because it was his first language. :/

james and i also saw the new adam sandler movie tonight. it was pretty funny, but i felt like it was getting a little long. there's a part where the little girl falls into the toilet because adam sandler left the seat up. i think i remember that happening to me once. ha.

and i also made these tonight:
just a couple simple thank you cards made from little bits and pieces on my desk.
they are for the cha in spirit thing at the pub on twopeas, but i should make more of these little cards. such a good way to use up scraps. and maybe one day i will actually be able to give the things i make away to other people. i'm so bad about that. ha. card making is something i do on occasion, but never all that much. it is pretty simple though... hmm.

work today went well. it wasn't too busy... there was a steady flow of customers, but not too overwhelming. i did manage to set the alarm off this morning because i pushed a wrong button when i was entering the code. but i just entered it again, and it turned off. so not too big of a deal. i stayed for a little while after i closed to work on a little project. it was nice to have the whole store to myself. :] i wish i could stay late tomorrow, but i'll have to hurry to tennis once i close. maybe i'll go back in the evening. ha.

oh. one more exciting bit of news. i booked my flight to denver tonight. i'm really excited/nervous. i don't know where that nervous part came from, but i'm going to try to ignore it. i can't wait to get to my grandparents house. it's been sooo long since i've been there. i miss it. all the little details... like the clock that goes off every hour. the yellow tile in the bathroom. the rocking chair. the cherry tree and the raspberry bushes and all the veggies in the back yard. mmm. it's going to be so hard to leave that house this time knowing that it might be one of the last times i'm there. :[ ok. starting to get sad now. i'm only going for three nights because i have tennis that i can't miss. kind of makes me wish i wouldn't have decided to take tennis this summer. oh well. i will just have to try to plan another weekend trip soon.

ok. well. i have to be up in like 5 hours. :/ time for bed.
