i bought the dreamgirls soundtrack today 'cause i caught the end of the movie the other night and couldn't get the songs out of my head. now it's all motown up in here. i really wanted sweeney todd too, but i definitely can't afford to overindulge myself right now. finally picked up another book too; 3rd in l'engle's series.
i start work at panera bread on friday. this will allow me to work mornings while i go to night classes at wayne for my masters. i'm to be a barista and will eventually be able make all kinds of neat coffee and tea concoctions. too bad i hate coffee; love tea though.
ashley is getting a kitten. since my mom ended up thinking gus was absolutely adorable, she finally gave in and let ash look into it. she's adopting one from the paradise animal shelter in lapeer. it's a domestic long hair and she's calling her maya. should be a nauseatingly adorable fluff ball. since kittens are basically the cutest things the lord created, next to maybe actual human babies (and that isn't always the case), i'm going over there after work on friday to love on her. i'm excited, but a little worried about my sister becoming one of those stuck-up women who carry their cats around like accessories. she's already buying everything in pink.
gus is still pretty little, but it still seems like he's growing up too fast for me. now when he jumps on you it's sometimes not so fun. he still loves to groom my hair and drive me insane. he's getting better at playing with hairy (still has no chance, but i don't worry anymore that his little skull will be bashed in). and of course, he's still stinky, but now his breath smells instead of his bum. oh the wonders of pet-parenthood. this all sounds whiney, but i adore my cats like they're my babies. yes, it's a tad pathetic.
oh...also, i quit smoking. that's the end of that nonsense.
since i didn't work this past week and matt worked a lot of night shifts, i watched the first (and only :() season of firefly and the movie follow-up, serenity. i thoroughly enjoyed it. when the movie ended, it was like when i finally finished season five of queer as folk, but not quite as tragic.
let's see...anything else new? matt and i might be going on a cruise with the group in september, which would be fabulous. goodbye michigan, hello caribbean! sounds good to me. in my opinion, cruises are worth it just for those sweet towel animals they put in your room every night.
lastly, a quick something funny. matt's grandparents send us cards every holiday and we got a valentine today. not only was it the most catholic valentine's day card i have ever seen or even thought possible (it actually had a pendant of jesus taped to the inside), but they had addressed the envelope to "Matt and Tiffany Hayes". well, at least i know she's accepted me into the family. :)
