Hi Sophie
I am missing 2 possibly 3 pairs of gym sox which I believe you may have mistaken for your own and they may be with your gym gear. They are: Wigwam white with blue striping, Wigwam blue and (possibly, Nike pink Swoosh). I track my sox pretty carefully insofar as I only have a few pair. I understand from you and note from the extra sox in the basement that you do not track your sox as carefully; therefore, I believe it is fair to assume that my missing sox may have ended up in your purview. I am requesting that you look for said sox during your cleaning or laundering and send them back my way, either directly or thru the laundry. Thanks, much love, Mom xxxx
priceless!

anyway, with that out of the way:
- i'm really bad at updating my lj.
- my best friend has moved out of the country, and this sucks, but it's awesome for her because she's in freakin NYC!!!!
- work is going kinda ok. i have so much work today that i cannot possibly conceive of finishing it in my lifetime or yours, and because of this, i've stopped caring. on the social front at work, i have a work-best-friend! her name is sara and she is rad. we cook together and listen to the radio and on sunday we're going to ikea. STOKED!
- me and craig are still together and it's nice. it's weird having a "boyfriend" and being someones "girlfriend" from having been in kinda-relationships for so long... but it's nice. i just wish we had more private time; i live at home with parents and he has like 7 bajillion roommates. so yeah.
- my attempts to "get fit" this winter have been going ok. i feel happier and more energetic. i've been going to the gym for a month now, about 3 times a week (but i missed a week because i was on my period and doing a lot of overtime) and i'm trying to "watch what i eat". this has led to me smoking less weed, because weed=munchies. getting fit is hard. i wish i could hire one of those movie-people to make a montage of it, set to some upbeat punchy 80's music. that would be more fun and way quicker.
- i need to do laundry in a bad way, like baaaad. and room cleaning. which i'm going to do now. YES!
