11:22p

warm and toasty
'spent the evening with my boyfriend watching our
tape of must see tv thursday.
'sipped on some hot cocoa with peppermint schnapps.
'kinda overdid the schnapps, though...'tasted like chocolate Robitussin. eck!

anyhoo, before that we enjoyed sausage and pepperoni pizza
with pepsi and spinach salad.
quite good.
although, the pizza didn't quite hit the spot.

'rained all day long today, so it was nice to FINALLY have
an excuse for not going outside of the house.
I'm especially glad to have some alone time with my boyfriend.
dunno why, but lately i've just been needing more of his time.

'woke up around 1p...I swear, I couldn't get enough of sleeping today!
'finished book 3 of Harry Potter, though.
'will watch Chamber of Secrets tomorrow
after our friend's wedding ceremony.
I'm so excited!

also, got started on cleaning the house for our party next weekend.
I figure I'll do one room at a time.
'finally folded up and put away my basket of laundry.
it's been sitting there for a week!

quality time
'had a really nice conversation on the phone with a friend today.
'asked her how she's been doing since her mom just passed.
I swear, that woman amazes me!

she's so mature,
level-headed,
well-balanced,
and most importantly,
courageous.

of her family, I believe she was the strongest
in facing her mother's death head on.
she was with her 24/7, taking care of whatever needed to be done.
I believe she became a pillar of strength for her entire family.

i only hope she knows how incredible of a person she is.
i'm just one of the lucky ones that gets to call her my "friend".
