yay for being off tonight!

i'm busy busy busy due to the new addition of a 2^nd job in my life, so i haven't had time lately to blog or, rather, the time i have had has been occupied elsewhere.

i'm actually liking the new job and i'm happy that i don't have to quit the club to keep it. working at 5AM is a little strenuous, considering i have to get up at 3:45 to get ready, but i get off at 10AM and have the remainder of my day to do whatever i want...with the exception of club days. like today...i have no obligations except spending time with matt after he gets off work. this makes me happy. i think napping is going to happen sometime soon as well. working 40 hours is going to help my money situation immensely and soon i should be able to move to lake orion. woo!

went to the rennaissance festival again this past weekend, but this time my family came along. they really enjoyed it, which made me happy because it's really not their kind of thing.

in the reading segment of my existence, i'm still on a feist kick. about to start servant of the empire, book II in the empire trilogy, written alongside janny wurts. It's much more politically oriented than the riftwar saga, but i'm liking it anyways. the best part about these books is that i don't have to buy them since matt already has them all! it's so great to be finally dating a guy who i can share libraries with. i've even been reading his x-men comics. i can't wait for him to finish the harry potter series so i can throw more books at him.

this friday is crystal and tony's wedding, and then early saturday morning matt and i are leaving for chicago to stay with alisha. i'm so pumped to see her, selena, and dale, even if it's only for a day, and i can't wait to show matt around my favorite parts of the city. i've decided we're doing lunch at macy's foodlife and dinner with the old roomies at flattop. i want to get to quimbys, stop by millenium park, and show matt the theatre if there isn't a matinee on saturday. and maybe navy pier if there is enough time and money left over. we're going to listen to david sedaris' audiobook on the way down and it's going to rock!
