I drove out to Ghirardelli square and had a s'more sundae for lunch. I walked down to Pier 39 and saw my favorite attraction -- California sea lions! I took a bunch of pictures (which I'll post when I get home). I had lunch at a great little cafe and walked back to my car. I drove to the Palace of Fine Arts. As usual, there was a bridal party having their pictures taken. I walked around the grounds, taking pictures of the structures and wildlife, including some beautiful swans and very cute turtles. As I left, a prom group had arrived to have their pictures taken. Should I get married while I live in San Francisco, that will definitely be one of the locations that I'd like to have wedding photos taken. Then I crossed off another life goal today as I drove across the Golden Gate bridge. I drove to the view point on the Marin county side and took some photos. I was going to drive up to the Headlands, but decided instead to head back to the hotel. On my return trip, I was in the right lane and because of heavy traffic, never went more than 25 mph. We even stopped once. I listened to "Everything" by Alanis on Alice (my new SF radio station), but I wasn't brave enough to look over the edge of the bridge. Jenn posted at 12:22 AM | |

Well, I woke up this morning with a screaming migraine, so I didn't get to have brunch with A like I planned. I've been sloth-like this morning (and into the afternoon) while I waited for my medicine to kick in and the nausea to pass. I've showered now and the sun is shining, so I think I may go out for a little while and enjoy the day after all. Jenn posted at 4:49 PM | |

After a day of driving around San Francisco and getting completely lost many, many times, I have an apartment! I'll be living in Diamonds Heights come July and I just can't wait. Compared to the other places that I've seen, this place offers the best amenties for the price. It's got underground parking, two laundry rooms per building, fitness center, and controlled access. I really love it! It's close to school and downtown without actually being either place. More later when I'm not so tired... Jenn posted at 12:57 AM | |

I have arrived in San Francisco and I'm watching Alanis on JKL before I pass out. I left work early (shh!), but I didn't really hit the road until 5:30 with all the crap I had to do. I pulled into the hotel at 12:05am. Apparently being a Priority Club member makes me special at this hotel. I'm on a special floor that requires a key to get to and has a special lounge with a giant television. It's very swank ;) I faced a fear tonight by driving across the San Mateo Bridge, which seemed to take forever. Those of you who have been with me on tour or when we went to Carnegie Hall will appreciate this feat. Now, I am off to dreamland... Jenn posted at 4:01 AM | |

I should be packing...or at least folding my laundry, but instead I'm watching "She's All That" on USA for the hundreth time. I think I'm going to head to bed now and pack in the morning or at lunch. I don't mind getting into SF late tomorrow night, but I do need to be well-rested so I don't fall asleep at the wheel. Jenn posted at 1:27 AM | |

My MSN horoscope: News of illness or employment problems on the part of someone whom you care for can have you feeling a bit down in the dumps today, Jenny. However, you might be cheered up by a warm and loving letter or phone call from someone far away. This is a good day to write newsy letters, or visit or ring up people you haven't heard from for a long time. Don't let sad news, or bad moods, get the best of you. So, who is: -sick? -unemployed? -going to write me? -call me? To whom should I write my newsy letter? Who should I ring up? Jenn posted at 3:09 PM | |

Last week, I officially began Flat Find 2004 (If Katie has the Great Apartment Search, I gotta have a cool name for mine as well!). This week, I've been more proactive about it and I have set up four firm appointments to see apartments on Saturday. I've inquired about a fifth and there's an open house that I'm going to try to get to as well. Maybe I can even sign a lease before I leave on Monday -- that would be great! It's so difficult to do this from a distance. Jenn posted at 12:19 AM | |

Where was the weekend? I lost it again I had a blast this weekend with my cousins and my aunt and uncle. I hope they send plenty of pictures because I never took a single one. Oops! I had a furry roommate as well (Julie and John's guinea pig, Ginger) which was great fun for those few short days. We had fabulous dinners and saw wonderful sights. I did things in LA and beyond that I had never done before (homes in the Hills, down to the Marina) and things that I had (Venice canals, dinner in Naples), but it was all grand. I'm gearing up for my weekend in San Francisco. I've got some apartments lined up to see and I hope to catch more than a few open houses while I'm there. I feel Katie's pain even though this isn't the first time I've done this. I am more prepared than I've ever been to find a place and make the move and yet I still feel nervous. Perhaps it's just natural to be anxious about the unknown. Well, must get ready for bed as am very tired from crazy day. Jenn posted at 2:36 AM | |

So, I overslept this morning and was consequently running very late for work this morning. So, what happens? I get pulled over for the lamest moving violation EVER! Just the way I wanted to start my week, right? The rest of the day was fine and I actually got a bunch done after work (though none of it was cleaning my apartment, which desperately needs to be done). I got my photos developed from my disposable camera that I had last weekend and I dropped off my dry cleaning. I went to the mall to see if the Banana Republic there had the coat that I wanted on sale (they didn't) and to pick up some cards and stuff at Hallmark. No matter how many cards I buy, I never seem to have the one that I want when a particular situation comes up. I also bought a new journal, which I'm very excited to use. Now, if I could only finish my old one ;) Jenn posted at 1:40 AM | |

Here's my personalized natal chart I got here. The things I think are true are bolded. You tell me -- is it accurate? Name: Jenny November 19 1:55 AM Time Zone is EST Falls Church, VA Rising Sign is in 26 Degrees Virgo You tend to be very shy and not very self-assertive. You are supercritical about how you appear to others. Even though you may think you are uninteresting and dull, you are actually quite soft- spoken, orderly, neat and very likable. You are a perfectionist with high standards, and at times you can be quite tactless in pointing out the faults of others. Very practical, efficient and purposeful, your appearance and bearing reflect your need to appear graceful, sensible and reserved. You have a crisp, no-nonsense approach to dealing with others. Never lazy or self-indulgent, you tend to be dedicated to the work ethic. Sun is in 27 Degrees Scorpio. Intense and complex by nature, you have extremely strong emotional reactions to most situations. Feelings are often very difficult for you to verbalize. Therefore you have a tendency to be very quiet - - to brood and think a lot. You seldom get overtly angry, but, when you do, you are furious and unforgiving. When you make an emotional commitment, it is total -- you are not attracted to superficial or casual relationships. If you are challenged, you take it as a personal affront and tend to lash out and fight back in a vengeful manner. You love mysteries and the supernatural. A good detective, you love getting to the roots of problems and you enjoy finding out what makes other people tick. You are known to be very willful, very powerful and quite tenacious! Moon is in 15 Degrees Aries. High-spirited and courageous, you are a fighter when your emotions are aroused. The degree of force and drive that you can bring to any effort sometimes surprises others. You have hair-trigger reactions to specific stimuli and tend to "let it all hang out." You sometimes act before you think and do things on the spur of the moment, and that sometimes gets you into trouble. Your moods change quickly -- you have quite a temper, but you don't hold grudges. Very independent, with an extremely strong and forceful personality, you are known for being impulsive, careless, reckless, foolhardy, rash and daring. Mercury is in 07 Degrees Scorpio. You are a born investigator. You are fascinated by secrets and mysteries and unanswered questions of any kind. When you become upset or angry, your emotional reactions are overpowering -- reason and logic disappear in an uncontrollable passionate outburst. You tend to keep your thoughts secret and bottled up and this makes others regard you with suspicion. It is not that you are trying purposely to be evasive, it is just that you would rather not deal with the explosions and hassles that often occur when you reveal your true feelings and opinions. Your sense of humor tends toward sarcasm and irony. Venus is in 24 Degrees Libra. A very friendly and outgoing person, you hate to be alone. Beware of a continuing tendency to compromise yourself in order to avoid being lonely. Try to be yourself, not what others would like you to be. You have an innate desire to be in refined and elegant surroundings and will go out of your way to create a plush and comfortable atmosphere around you. You have heightened aesthetic sensibilities and are attracted to music and the arts. Try to avoid using your well-known seductive charm in order to get out of doing what you consider to be dirty work! Mars is in 27 Degrees Sagittarius. Your every action is motivated by high moral standards and ideals. You will work very hard to improve the lot of the world at large, but you demand action about it -- you do not like to just sit around and talk about doing it in an abstract manner. You like to be where the real action is. You resist mightily any attempts to limit your freedom and you will assist anyone who feels put down and restricted. You are extremely restless by nature -- physical exercise is very important to you if you would maintain your health. Jupiter is in 04 Degrees Libra. You are generally good at balancing opinions and judging issues, but you tend to be indecisive when it comes to making up your own mind. You are objective and quite concerned with fair play and justice. But, when it comes to yourself, you are so aware that whatever you do might upset the apple cart that you often choose to compromise rather than do anything that might make you lonely or vulnerable. Relationships are very important to you -- you learn about yourself and grow through observing yourself interacting with others. Your aesthetic tastes are refined, but expansive and expensive. Saturn is in 06 Degrees Libra. Although you take quite a while to make decisions, you usually consider all sides to a question, all the pros and cons, and the solution you come up with is very often the correct one. You tend to be very reserved and shy, but, once you make a commitment to someone (in either a business or personal relationship), the partnership is forever. You have a strong sense of justice and fair play and greatly respect the laws and institutions by which you are governed. As such, you are outraged when others break laws or show contempt for authority. Uranus is in 25 Degrees Scorpio. You, and your peer group, demand to confront life at its deepest and most meaningful levels. Very compulsive and obsessive in your approach to everything, you will avoid anything that is casual or superficial, especially when it comes to relationships. You will seek out and explore new methods of healing as well as different ways to deal with deep-seated emotional problems. Neptune is in 21 Degrees Sagittarius. You, and your entire generation, are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village." Pluto is in 23 Degrees Libra. For your entire generation, this is a time of radical changes in society's attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. There is a general fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual commitments -- they will not be entered into lightly. N. Node is in 14 Degrees Leo. You prefer to take the leadership role when it comes to dealing with others. You enjoy administering and organizing group activities. Others tend to listen to your suggestions because you aren't usually overly domineering or patronizing in your interactions. You love to entertain in a big way -- you're at your best when throwing a large and lavish party. Your popularity and social success are assured as long as you don't take others for granted -- resist the temptation to become snobbish and arrogant. Jenn posted at 1:25 AM | |

It goes without saying that this show has been such a large part of my life since it premiere in 1994. Having this end, with nothing to take its place is definitely very hard for me. The last two series finales that I watched ("Dawson's Creek" and "The X-Files") were for shows that I had quit watching for a while and only came back for that final episode. I was invested in the characters, but I had given up on the show. This is the first time I've ever watched a show from episode one to the last episode without missing a beat. I haven't always liked it -- there were missed opportunties, overdone storylines, too many guest stars -- but I've watched faithfully, every week, the adventures of Chandler and Monica and Joey and Ross and Rachel and Phoebe. I will truly miss them now that they are gone. Having said that, this was the first time since I watched the last 40 minutes "live" on Thursday night that I have watched the finale. I chose to watch the extend version on my DVD and I only notice a few differences, most of which would have enhanced the show for me. This finale wasn't perfect, but neither was the show. I knew going in that it wouldn't satisfy me, but when it started wrapping up, I wasn't ready for it to end. There were a number of things that I liked about this episode, from start to finish. Ross and Rachel's interaction in the morning was very cute and I'm not a fan. I really liked Ross's line about getting the Sex for Dummies book as a joke -- "Who's laughing now?" I loved that Chandler was so totally awkward with Erica and his theory about labor versus being kicked in the nuts. I thought it was great that Phoebe played along with Joey's gullible assumption that Chandler took the original chick and duck to a farm where you can never visit. I'm glad he has replacements now. Phoebe's response to Ross's mocking that she thought Ben would be a girl was classic too -- "Have you seen him throw a ball?" There was great continuity with Joey's "dirty" voice when he said "I'll bet you did!" I hadn't really warmed up to Anna Faris's Erica until she told Chandler it was time to kick him in the nuts to see what was worse -- that was awesome! The scene in the hospital when the first baby was born was enough to make the whole episode for me. I loved watching Chandler cut the cord ("spongy!") and Monica had the perfect sentiment for the moment ("I'm going to love you so much that no woman will ever be good enough!") Chandler made me weepy when he said that the baby had Monica's eyes -- even if that wasn't possible. Monica and Chandler getting twins was such a wonderful surprise! I wasn't shocked like most people seemed to be, though I don't know how I knew, since I didn't read spoilers. Erica got me again when she said that they kept saying that both heartbeats are really strong -- "that's good cause I'm haivng a baby." I loved Chandler's comment about having "one of each," but "that's enough!" I'm so glad that Gunther finally told Rachel that he loves her. And she was so sweet about it! And he got a sweet kiss! Of course, he inadvertantly stole Ross's thunder, which is ironic considering the number of times that Gunther has wanted to saying something or do something for Rachel, only to be usurped! I loved seeing the ID bracelets on Chandler's wrist (though there's a goof during that scene because when they switch camera angles, the bracelets aren't there and then when they go back to the two shot, the bracelets are back). Watching Monica and Chandler trying to trade babies was classic! Even after all these years of wanting and wishing and preparing, Monica still doesn't have all the answers ;) I love that Phoebe thought that Gunther was sexy in a more obvious way. Hmmm...perhaps they should have gone down that road sometime. Joey being jealous of Mike's banner was great! I loved watching Chandler walk in with the surprise second baby ... what is it about a cute guy holding a baby? Ross's awkward question was perfect -- "the hospital knows you took two, right?" Jack Bing is a great name, though I wonder what happened to Monica's chosen name, Daniel -- is this baby perhaps Jack Daniel Bing?! When Ross decided to go after Rachel, I knew what the rest of the episode would be focused on and I felt slightly let down. Thankfully, there was more good stuff to follow. I loved the extra scene of Chandler quizzing Monica on who's who of the twins and not being able to tell them apart. Thankfully, they are different genders. I ahve friends who painted a toenail on one of their twin girls so they could tell them apart for midnight feeings and such. Losing the chick and the duck was classic Joey, but what really got me was Monica leaving and stepping on *something* -- it definitely caught me off guard and made me laugh. I was so excited to see a Chandler and Joey storyline! Ever since Monica and Chandler got together, they have been sorely missed (though I'm not totally complaining!) I, too, held my breath while the ball rolled around inside the table, waiting for the chirp. Ross cracked me up when he screamed "That's precious!" at Monica when he was trying to get information from her. I just knew that Monica would be one of those parents that thinks that the world revolves around her kids. Now, I have to say, that I'm not a Ross and Rachel fan anymore. I was in the beginning, but I lost interest in season four or so. But when Ross said that he was at JFK, my heart just dropped. Then they started playing Jack Johnson as the ticket agent closed the Rachel's flight and I started crying. It was a rough cut to go from Ross's forlorn expression to Chandler and Joey's problem with the foosball table, but somehow it worked. With tears still streaming down my face, I was laughing out loud when Joey was saying goodbye to the table and Chandler wished each of the players "Good game!" And of course, it was only fitting that Monica be the one who destroyed the table. I loved that Phoebe got to use the word Philange one more time and although it might have been in poor taste, I was laughing at the passengers who started to freak out about something being wrong with the plane. Although it was supposed to be funny, I was crying when I saw the foosball table in pieces. It was funny when the guys mentioned that she didn't even use the tools much. The "lame cool guy handshake" was fantastic and I'm glad they hugged too. I will so miss the bond of those two former roommates and always best friends who sat in barcaloungers, had their furniture stolen, fought over women and made up, and were always, always there for each other when it really counted. Again, not a Ross/Rachel fan, but I was shaking my head and crying when Rachel said that she was getting on the plane. How could she walk away from that heartful, beautiful declaration of love? I looked at the clock and hoped that it wouldn't end this way. When I saw the direction that the show was taking, I just knew that those two had to end up together. It wasn't my ending, but it was the one that had to be. One of my favorite scenes was a little throwaway exchange between Joey and Monica. When she said that she had put food in his fridge and he said, "I love you," my heart melted a little. When Ross went back to his apartment, I was hoping that Rachel would come out of the bedroom when he was listening to the message or while he was depressed. I will admit to a little shout of joy when I heard the famous, "I got off the plane!" I could really get behind them now that they are "done being stupid." Ross was classic in his "on a break" line and he chastising "don't make jokes now!" The final laugh of the night for me was Monica offering the movers money to let the porcelain dog fall off the truck. I bet they have that dog until Jack goes off to college -- it'd make a great dorm room accessory :) The empty apartment started me crying and I couldn't stop until about 10 minutes after the credit rolled. I loved Joey's question -- "Has it always been purple?" Chandler talking to the babies was so sweet and completely in character with his last line about rent control and it being a "friggin' steal." The best symbolism for me was all of the friends, leaving the keys on the counter. A bit ironic too, since the door was never locked. Going for coffee was a great ending and when the camera panned the apartment, I lost it. I was outright sobbing at the emptiness. As great as that all was though, there was a lot of things that I wish had been done differently. I wish that all of the friends had gone to the hospital with Monica and Chandler just like they had for Ross and Phoebe and Rachel, when they had their babies. And as much as I LOVED the Chandler/Joey story, I wish we could have seen a bit more of Monica and Chandler with their babies. I mean, now that they have two, they'll need to get more of everything. There's constant feedings and diaper changing, never mind that these two people have waited so long to have a baby and then aren't really spending time with them. Perhaps it's my own pet peeves about "the Rachel show," but I just didn't think that they spent enough time on this storyline that has been building for over two years and some would say since the first season. I don't understand why Emma was left with Mrs. Green instead of Ross while Rachel went to Paris. You would think that Ross would want to spend as much time with his daughter as possible since she is moving to another country and he is going to miss her growing up. But I guess that's to be expected since he hasn't seemed all that concerned about Emma being gone during the past few episodes. I would have done the reunion differently as well, but I guess what's done is done. All in all, it was a good ending. All the loose ends are wrapped up in a neat bow and we don't have to worry about them. All of our "Friends" will be just fine without us. That gives me hope that we will be fine without them. Thank goodness for DVDs and syndication! Our "Friends" may be gone, but they will never be forgotten. Jenn posted at 12:39 AM | |

Yes, the nasty rumor is true! I snuck home this weekend to see my lovely and super talented best friend, Anna, play her senior recital on Saturday night. Don't be offended that I didn't call you, invite you out or get up in time to meet with you. This was a spontaneous trip and I wanted it to be stress-free (or as stress-free as a 36 hour trip to the East Coast can be). I had more fun than I should be allowed and it was exactly what I needed this weekend. We ran amuck at a bar with no liquor license, the music building at UMd and Anna's neighborhood. Anna and Eugenia -- you guys rock so much! I forgot how much fun we have together -- especially now that we can all drink! I can't wait for you to come visit me in San Fran in August! I really can't wait to see what the pictures look like. I'm actually working on my writing again and I feel good about it. I think I'm actually going to send it out for a critique -- I guess it depends on whether I'm brave enough! Jenn posted at 3:29 AM | |

Since Caryn doesn't have comments on her blog, I shall comment here ;) First of all, I just want to say that I think "the boys" (and they know who they are) will always be "the boys" -- even when we're 80! I also still have my plate, though it is tucked away with my other special cards, letters and happy notes. I saw yours on the fridge when I was home last month and it made me smile. I remember running around, lost in the dark with just one thought running through my head, Don't let me fall in the creek!. The actual "activity" was quite fun and it was definitely a rush. We should have done that more often, I think :) Jenn posted at 3:53 AM | |

I am home from San Francisco and it has been such an emotional day. I have been alternately crazy happy and sobbing hysterically all day through till right now. My Advising Day at SFSU The flight last night was half empty so I had like the back six rows of the A320 to myself. It was awesome! I read my book and had some ginger ale on the 1 hour and 7 minute flight to Oakland. We got in a little early and the driver was a bit late picking me, but we made connections and I spent a great night at the Holiday Inn and Spa Downtown. My room had a great view of Coit Tower and Grace Cathedral from the 12th floor. I ordered room service and watched the last half of the Friends Dateline special. I woke up this morning at 7am and watched an Asian man do Tai Chi on the bridge leading into Chinatown from my window which was amazing. I was a bit late leaving, but both the 101 and 280 were super clear as we drove to the school, so I still got there early. I checked in at the University meeting and got the basic spiel about the day. From there I headed over to my college meeting. The Dean is so awesome! He personally gave out the hand outs and said hello to everyone. He was really engaging during the whole meeting and I really like him a lot. He had a handout for this AWESOME lecture series that I just HAVE to take -- I can't wait! After that meeting, I killed time by reading my book waiting for a workshop on Study Abroad that never happened, not knowing that I was missing a Department meeting and lunch because it wasn't on the schedule that I received from the university :( I went to the book store and picked up The Devil Wears Prada since I finished Boy Meets Girl (review below) while I was between meetings. At 1pm, I went to the History office to find out about my faculty advisor. I was given many handouts, including one that listed the faculty divided into their area of concentration. Not having met any of the faculty before, it was much like picking an HMO doctor. I first picked Prof. T, but she wasn't in her office. I went down the hall to Prof. W. It was so incredibly awkward because he didn't seem to know what was going on nor did he have any interest in really talking with me. I tried to be as effusive and positive as possible, but after about 10 minutes, I thanked him for his time and left. I sat in the hallway trying to make sense of all the papers I had picked up, cursing myself for missing the department meeting and trying not to cry. I had spent all of this morning, taken off work and traveled all the way here for this?! After about 20 minutes of feeling sorry for myself, I decided that I would put myself on the list to meet with the department head. As I walked back that way, I passed the office of another Prof in my concentration who seemed to be really nice to the student in her office, so I decided to wait and meet with her. I'm SOOO glad I did! Prof L is amazing! She was so warm and sweet and totally made me feel at ease as well as actually advising me on what I need to take. She "claimed" me, so she's now my advisor and I'm so glad! I was finished by about 2pm, so I walked over to the Stonestown Galleria to have lunch and window shop. I walked back to the lounge in the U to eat my cookies and read my book. I fell asleep in the car on the way back to the airport (which is why I can still be awake right now). I got bumped up to the earlier flight which got me into Long Beach at 8:30. I drove like a bat out of hell and broke my record from Long Beach to LA (27 minutes!) to get back in time to watch the Friends finale. Book review: Boy Meets Girl by Meg Cabot Everyone should stop what they are doing and go out and get this book! I finished it in about 3 hours and I laughed the whole time! Katie is so charming and silly and me -- it's unbelievable! I didn't want it to end. The whole thing is journal entries, e-mails, IMs and notes which makes it such a quick and fabulous read! When I'm more coherent (i.e. Monday), I'll edit in some really profound stuff ;) That should wrap everything up for now. I can't believe I have to go to work tomorrow! Jenn posted at 2:19 AM |

Well, let's start with fact that I had insomnia last night. I didn't go to sleep at all! I spent the night cleaning my apartment. It hasn't been this clean since I moved in -- seriously! I actually picked things up and put them away. It's nowhere near done, but I've definitely made a positive step towards having it ready for John and Julie to visit. I closed my eyes while reading my book about 6:20am, hoping to wake up with my second alarm at 7am. Imagine my shock when I sat up in bed with a clock that said 8am! (That's when I'm supposed to be at work!) Needless to say, I was mucho late to work, but no one said anything. ::whew:: When I walked outside to go to work this morning, I felt like I was walking into an oven. It was a lovely 101 degrees today on the Westside...makes me glad I wasn't at HPR today ;) Supposed to go back to the 80s tomorrow...who knew I'd be wishing for the 80s?! I'm watching the last half hour of 10.5 on NBC and it's so silly, it's funny. I don't know a lot about earthquakes (and I should, given where I live), but some of the "science" in this movie is just ridiculous. The acting is atrocious. And I gotta say, if they told me to evac LA, I don't think I'd be stopping in Barstow (which is actually a town, not barren desert). My and my Green Lightening would be driving all night until we crossed the Mississippi. But that's just me. Seven minutes to go and the quake has stopped. It's time to rebuild...you can tell by the sappy musak playing in the background. Um and what about aftershocks? With a quake that big, I'm pretty sure there would be some serious aftershocks, but again, that's just me ;) "We are not the masters of this planet"? What is that?! Jenn posted at 1:55 AM | |

I just watched this Pier One commercial with Thom from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and I'm totally jealous! Is it wrong that I so want him to go shopping with me to buy furniture? Jenn posted at 3:07 AM | |

I just got in from seeing this movie and I LOVED it! I didn't know it was written by Tina Fey when I went to see it, but that made it even better. I couldn't stop laughing. It was so true and so far-fetched at the same time...just great! I loved all of the SNL alums and current cast sprinkled in. I still haven't made it to 13 Going on 30, but hoping to soon.

I woke up about 11am today after going to bed at 12:30am and I feel fantastic! The power went off a couple of times this afternoon, but I don't know why. Very strange indeed. I've been a cleaning fiend today. After my shower today, I walked into my bedroom, took one look at the pile of shoes at the entrance of my closet and said, "Enough!" I dressed quickly, went down to my car and pulled the shoe organizer I bought (back on the 19th, but never took out of my trunk) and set to work. I cleaned out all the shoes that I don't wear or shouldn't wear anymore. I pulled out clothes that I don't fit in and/or don't like anymore. Then I cleaned my desk. I have taken the monitor, speakers, keyboard and mouse from my old computer and put them in my closet for storage until I decide what I want to do with them. (If you want 'em, they're yours!) I've been throwing a lot things away and making a place for the others instead of just piling them in a corner to do something with later (which never comes). I'm also doing laundry (at least 3 weeks' worth) and I'm actually folding it and putting it away as soon as I take it out of the dryer instead of letting it sit on my floor or in the basket. Oops, gotta go change a load! Jenn posted at 9:23 PM | |
