girls night + more.

last night, deepa, radhika and i went to see the women.
it was really good. i'll definitely see it again. perfect movie for a girls' night. :]
before the movie, we had dinner at silver peak. james joined us because we weren't sure what movie we were going to see. as soon as we walked over to the theater and saw that we were just in time for that movie... he said, "alright. see you later." haha.

yesterday, i felt inspired to clean. i took advantage of the feeling for as long as i could, and i'm happy to report that i can now see the floor of my bedroom. ok. so maybe that's only in one area. but it's the main area. that has to count for something. and in my defense [yes. shamelessly making excuses here.] the cleaning bug doesn't usually strike me until late at night. well. the main light in my room is broken. [did i mention that? yeah. james took it down and the cord is melted through and there is a black mark on the ceiling. clearly, there was a small fire at some point. you can imagine that i was 100% freaked out by that discovery.] the point is... it's hard to clean with only the hallway light and my closet light and my silly little lamp. it just doesn't cut it. i'm not hardcore enough to clean in the dark.

i'm not feeling well today.
in fact, i wanted to leave work.
unfortunately, as the only one working, i can't just leave when i don't feel good.
fortunately, there wasn't a sole in the store besides me for most of the day and there is a little couch in there. i absolutely laid down on it today.
all i've been wanting to eat is rice, but i didn't feel like calling the thai place next to my work and ordering $1 side of jasmine rice. they already know me as the girl who orders the exact same thing every time, and i can sense their judgement. [you know that episode of sex and the city!? yeah. i'm just like miranda.] i'm sure they don't honestly judge me at all, but i still couldn't muster up the courage to only order rice.
so i went and got some tea instead. it helped for a bit.

the best part of the day was when james called me near the end of the workday. he just wanted to say he was going to the gym and then he would be home. [he forgot i had work.] anyway. when we were hanging up, he said "bye love." which is what i generally say. and he said it first. and i had the biggest smile on my face when i hung up the phone.
it's the small things. :]

oh. and tonight, the inevitable happened.
james went out to meet up with his brother for a bit. i stayed home. [shocker.]
a couple hours later, i get a text from garrett. "does your bf have a half sleeve?"
before i could reply, james called me and mentioned that he saw my ex.
ha.
i called deepa. we talked about how it was bound to happen sooner or later. although deepa thinks it would have been amazing if i was, i'm really glad that i wasn't there. :]

tomorrow night, the muggs [that's james' big group of friends from way back when that he is still friends with] are having a fundraiser beer pong tournament thing. james told me they are collecting clothes for charity, and he's expecting me to clean out my closet tomorrow.
[here we go. back to my cleaning problems.]
have i mentioned here that my closet houses all of the clothes that i no longer wear, while the laundry room racks house the clothes that i currently wear? yes. it's bad. i'm aware of this, and i've been talking about how i need to get rid of some clothes. big time. it's out of control. and i actually tried yesterday during my cleaning time, but it's just hard for me. i always think "oh. i wore this shirt on the first day of school one year. i can't get rid of this shirt." or "i took these pants to san francisco with me, and i wore them that night that andrew and evan took me out. it was raining and they sung the full house theme song as we walked by the full house house. obviously, i need to keep these pants."
so even though i have no plans to wear this stuff again... i just can't get rid of all of it.
i need an intervention.
maybe i can force one on myself tomorrow.
we'll see.

i guess i'm going to need some sleep if that's supposed to happen though. :]

oh. and if i can make friends with the red ink cartridge and get some photos printed, i just might have a scrappy post coming soon. i have some pages in the final stages of construction. :]

& & i love that bold print actually shows up with the new blog colors. sweet deal.
