last night

my love did the most wonderful thing for me. i have been feeling so sick, so last night he came over and bought me a box of beautiful, delicious chocolate covered strawberries. it was wonderful! they were wrapped in a beautiful gold box and tied with a violet ribbon, and the strawberries were so big! and there were six of them! i ate 4 right away and finished the rest this morning.

sorry for the terrible picture.

and he also got me spicy ajisen broth with noodles. since spicy food is the only thing i can even taste at this point.

i got my wells fargo personalized bank card this afternoon! i was so excited. i used the picture on the top of my blog to personalize it. i am going to be so much more excited to use it now

being sick is no fun

so i am now officially sick. i have been trying to escape sickness since last wednesday, but on saturday i could barely get out of bed. how can the common cold be so miserable. my voice is practically gone and when i do speak i sound silly. i was actually quite happy that sean penn won the award for best actor last night.

currently

things i am currently doing

01. washing clothes for myself & my mother
02. trying to find a black tank to wear under my new black shirt
03. making coffee
04. trying to make my sore throat go away

current wishes:
01. that we had another washer and dryer (we have 2 sets of each, but in a house with 5 girls we need another)
02. that i find a black tank because i dont want to buy one
03. that the coffee was done
04. that my sore throat would go away

i bought a pretty pair of black boots last night for $30. how nice

wednesday

wednesdays are always strange for me. im not sure why. maybe because its the middle of the week and i prefer extremes. today was a nice day though. i went to starbucks with helen for tea and a bagel, and then shopped at target for a bit. i got a new black semi-dressy shirt. my love even came over to see me even though i was going to drive over to see him. he is sleeping in my room right now. but i cant seem to sleep so i sit here typing this. top chef just ended. i dont know if anyone actually watches that show but i have been keeping up with this past season. i was so sad to see fabio go home. he is just so charming and beautiful. and for some reason that is making me sad right now. how strange. i also really want to take ballet. i have no idea why. i took it when i was younger and i enjoyed it, but i am thinking about taking it at school on saturday from 11.30-2.30. again, how very strange.

soo

so my grandpa was released from the hospital yesterday. it is such a relief knowing he is doing better. my love stayed three nights in a row at my house and i couldn't be more happy. i love having him so close. i am so close to buying a new mattress from ikea. it is $399 and although i have enough right now i want to wait so that when i do buy it, i am not totally broke. but if i buy it before march 1st i get a free $50 gift card! i can put that towards nice pillows and sheets. last night my love and i made homemade brownies. it was the first time i ever made them. they were delicious.

i desperately need a new cell. but that is on the bottom of the list.
life is wonderful right now.
but i do feel a cold coming on.

my grandpa is doing much better. he has an pneumonia, but is most likely to be released on tuesday. he really needs to take better care of himself. but today was a very good day and tomorrow will be as well. if weather allows, my love and i have plans for a picnic.

V Day

i was never one for valentines day. i am not anti-valentines day at all. it just doesn't interest me much. but i am not happy right now. it has nothing to do with the holiday at all. my great grandpa is in the hospital. he has been having heart problems lately, but this morning he called me crying asking me to please have my mother take him to the hospital. it was a very sad thing to experience. he was admitted to the hospital and i am going to visit him soon. i am scared. but he is tough so all will be well.
on a happier note, i went to ikea and got 400 thread count sheets for the new bed i have yet to purchase. Original price was 39.99 but i got them for 9.99. and tomorrow i am going to get a comforter on sale for 20.00, originally 50.00. Quite the bargain.

I hope you are all having a nice day whether or not you are celebrating anything special.

rain rain rain

it rained so hard today!it even hailed for a bit. i do love the rain but i want sunny weather so i can go on a picnic! i have a picnic basket and a checkered blanket as well.


this was from last weekend.

ohh and today i found out that i do not have to take my final.how nice!

what a wonderful weekend this was. and so full of rain! my love and i skipped school on thursday and spent the entire rainy day drinking coffee and tea, watching tv and reading while wrapped in a blanket. and of course we went to dear rizza's house that night. made pizza on friday, and woke up this morning in my loves arms. which was the best part. what i saw of the grammys were good. this is the last week of winter session. if i am lucky i will not have to take my final.

i leave you with this lovely picture, & now it is off to fall asleep to the sound of rain.

i want freckles too

things i have realized

i have realized that i do not realize anything.everything that i thought i knew up until this point is not so.everyone is different. life is different for each individual. and everyone has their own ideas of what life should be. what is right for me may not be right for anyone else.

and that is OK. it truly is.
