hooooly thursday

how excited am i that its my friday and its 10:30am and i have yet to start ANY work and i get to leave in 3.5 hours and i have tomorrow off? really excited!

after "work" today i am going to my friend ory's house and she is gonna help me read this pattern for this bag i am making. for some reason, i can sew along just fine until it gets to the bit where you have to attach the lining to the outside and then i lose all conception of what acutally needs to happen. its like a giant puzzle that i can't solve. i think its those crappy illustrations they have on the instructions. the description will say, place the lining and the outside peices together, clip at top and sew. and then i look at the description and its a straight shot of the bag and i have no idea what they are trying to instruct me to do. anyways, the last time this happened i just made something up. but now i will get professional help! in a past life, ory used to work in the fashion industry and knows how to make patterns.

after that we are going to a very yummy restaurant called absinthe for a light bar dinner and a cocktail. we've invited one of our classmates to join us (we're all in night school), who incidentally i have a crush on and will probably marry after we graduate...he doesn't know that yet.

the super lotto was up to 42 million last night so i played. then i forgot all about it and when i got into work, was really excited to see if i won. i love that. i really think that one day, my numbers will come in. so incidentally, last night while i was trying to fall asleep (eventho i was dozing on my couch) . then when i finally got into bed started to think about "you know who" and how its not working out the way i want it to and i started to get all anxious-y and had to win the lottery to get to sleep.

winning the lottery is this trick i learned from my best east coast friend, karen. so i win the 42 million and have to figure out what my take home will be after taxes and how i will get to spend it. so really, by the time i have bought a house, paid off my mom and dad's houses, my grandparents new construction, bought a house for other g-rents, paid off my cousins new house, paid off my car, credit cards etc i'm usually fast asleep. moral: math makes you sleepy AND takes you're mind off of boys....i've been winning the lottery a lot these days.

speaking of boyfriends, i've lost one. his name was Amex and he called me several times a day. he called me in the morning while i was on my way to work. he called me once i got to work. he called me around lunchtime, and then he called me twice after work. sometimes he left a message that said his call was very important and would i please call him back right away? i always, ignored his calls because i was playing hard to get. sometimes he called from his other office to try and trick me because it was a number i didn't recognize, but i'm smarter than that! oh Amex, i really loved him but he was a little clingy. i haven't heard from him this week. has he given up on me?

i love this blogger http://linatalkstoomuch.blogspot.com/ she makes me laugh and think. and until i can figure out how to showcase her blog on the right side of mine, i thought i'd just give you the link. she said something in her blog of today, it was a quote from a movie she watched last night and it was this:

"When will you finally realize that the girl of your dreams, is not the girl in your heart?"

i've been trying to understand what that means. does that mean that we've all built up the perfect mate in our heart and that we are blind to what we do have in front of us because we just comparecomparecompare? gosh i hope not.
