It's soo nice out today. It's too bad i'm at work, but i'm not too troubled about it. I'm a little sick feeling, which is too bad...i guess it's a result of the not-enough-sleep this weekend. I'm still a little sleepy too. In fact, i woke up at 8:29 this morning, and i was supposed to be here at 8:15. Bad! I went to bed very early, too. But, i feel cheerful now. I have a big bottle of water and a nice cup of tea.
So Friday night was the high school all-nighter. I'm not a big fan of staying up all night. But i had fun stealing soda, writing stories with the girls and chatting by the hockey rink. I had to explain briefly why i wouldn't want to name my daughter Lolita. Sometimes i feel like the bad influence! There's this movie, Suicide Club -- and you're not allowed to watch it till you're 25 -- but now you know about it...ok pretend i never brought it up...no we can't rent it at our next sleeopover... And now Well, there's this book called Lolita. Hannah (excitedly): There's a book?! Me: No! I mean...don't read it. Although actually it may be for the best, since it was the next day that the inevitable happened and her dad finally reacted to the idea of his 14 year old daughter being interested in something called "Lolita." She would have said "what book?"
It's not that i wish to shelter the girls, but it's not my place to de-shelter them either.
Anyway, back to the all-nighter, there was a low point when everyone was quite miserable tired, but it got better when we started playing truth or dare. I introduced them to the "...or kill Bono" questions Lauren and i used to ask each other.
Then we went bowling.
Then we went home!! I slept from 9-12, then got up to go to a tea party with trancegeminii, preciousdeadly, and patchworkdoll.
I love tea parties
and everyone was sooooooooooo cute!!! I am the jealous.
AND i learned the lifechanging news about PASTRY HOUSE HIPPO!!! There has been a Japanese bakery in Novi for at least 10 years and i never knew anything about it?! So this is both tragic (because i didn't know) and wonderful. Lanka and i went there yesterday and i bought a choco-melon pan, regular melon pan (which turned out to have raisins in it), and melon cream. I can't wait to go back. They have those wonderful Japanese strawberry shortcakes too, and i can't wait to try the cheescake!! I'm shaking a little just typing this. They also have a few bizarre things like yakisoba in a hot dog bun...
But i am thrilled. I am so excited. I can go to Novi and buy bubble tea and delicious Japanese baked goods. It makes me want to LIVE in Novi... except in many ways it's the embodiment of much that i hate, but how can i hate a place with Tiki Tea and Pastry House Hippo?
That night we had Chinese food and i am going to have some leftovers for dinner. I had been craving this for a long time so that was extra fun. Sunday i skipped church and slept, then went there to pick up Lanka and we went out for sushi and to the bakery. Then i went over to Eric's and ate hamburgers. I felt a little like i was maybe getting sick, so i went to bed super early but didn't fall asleep for a long time. When i woke up i felt a little sicker, plus being late to work, but now i feel... sick-ish, but not as sick as i thought i would. Maybe this random 80 degree day is helping out. I don't have any plans tonight which is delightful.
I hope i don't waste it on the internet.
I've been writing this entry for four hours so i guess i should...organize my coins or something. I know, i'll look through my teller work and make sure i haven't put anything in there that's supposed to go elsewhere...i was scolded for that the other day.
