Rejuvenated
Mom and Dad came down for dinner tonight, and they took Matt and I to The Olive Garden. It was quite good, but I was so full that I could only eat 2 of my cheese raviolis. Oh well. I stocked up on iced tea, salad, a breadstick, and (later) half a piece of black tie mousse cheesecake stuff. So delicious. Dad was really playful and strange, as usual, and Matt told me afterward that he really enjoyed spending time with my parents because they're so amusing. Right up his alley. Wow, I love that boy. I've basically spent the last 28 hours with him. Shame on me, but it's his last weekend during which he'll actually be at Willamette. He has debate tournaments until Spring Break, basically. I'll miss him a lot, but we'll see each other during the week. That'll be nice. This week, on Tuesday, we're going to the Oregon Symphony concert, and they're doing 2 versions of Scheherezade (who the HELL knows how to spell that???) and I can't wait! I wish Carlos were conducting. Oh well. We went out to Rice Time last night, which was lovely, and then had some MJ and chilled. Turned out to be bad and cold, though, and we sort of had an issue, but it is wonderfully solved now. Matt's like an emotional onion, and some layers got peeled away yesterday, which makes us that much more close to each other. I'm so glad. Then, this morning, after sleeping in until about 9:30, we walked to Busick Court Cafe and ate dungeness crab cakes and huevos rancheros. Very delicious. I think I will get their famous French toast next time, with boysenberry topping. Walked around the mall and indulged in one of our favorite pasttimes: shopping for men's clothing. Man, I wish I could wear an awesome pinstripe suit! Maybe I'll get a chick version someday. Yay. We just shared the black tie mousse cheesecake stuff here in my apartment, and snuggled, and he just left to do some reading in the library. Oh my. I miss him. He loves me. I'm so glad. :) Everything's happy. I'm staying in my Spanish class, and I will feel better after facing my profs tomorrow about the fact that I skipped Friday. Oy. Oh well. I'm off, tata everyone...
