I'm sitting at home, desperately not wanting to go to work. I just don't feel up to it. It's never that bad once I'm actually there, but getting the motivation to want to go? That's a whole other thing! Plus, the fact that I'm watching Gilmore Girls just makes me want to stay home and watch it all day. I never get tired of it! I've started watching season 1 again (for the 50th time I'm pretty sure) and it's still awesome. The best part is that I even have Dan watching it. I was out shopping with my friend Brooke yesterday, and Dan came home for lunch from work. I had been watching Gilmore Girls before I left, so it was still on the TV. So he watched an episode while he ate lunch. He's just so damn cute! And he would do anything for me, especially tolerating my obsession with several TV shows. I'm very lucky!
We've been very naughty spending money lately. It's terrible! We're supposed to be saving for our honeymoon, but apparently we have trouble saying no to each other when we want something! Dan has become somewhat obsessed with fishing at the moment. Woohoo. That's all well and good. Except in the past few months he has bought 3... yes 3... fishing rods. Because apparently one isn't enough. And to start with, he had borrowed one of my dad's rods and still hasn't given it back. So technically, he has 4 fishing rods at the moment. Then once you add the cost of buying a tackle box filled with stuff, lures, bait... it all adds up.
Then, when Brooke and I went shopping last week I fell in love with this beautiful JAG handbag. Oh, it's so pretty! Now, I love bags. I don't buy a lot of them or spend heaps on them normally, but this bag was gorgeous. And it was $90. Brooke is a very very bad influence on me! She convinced me to buy the bag and if Dan got annoyed (because we literally had like $23 in our bank account), to blame her. Dan didn't care, he never denies me anything that I want luckily. But still, I felt so guilty! So now our credit card debt is creeping up slowly but surely. And we'd just managed to pay it off completely a few weeks earlier and not put anything on it! Then, when I checked my emails yesterday, I found that a Survivor DVD (the Pearl Islands season --- Oh how I hate Jonny Fairplay! But I can't wait to watch it again and make Dan watch it with me!) that I had ordered months ago had been shipped a little over a week early! So it was exciting, but again more money when I hadn't been expecting it!
Anyway, enough complaining from me. I'm excited because today is Tuesday and that means THE O.C.!!!! I love that show. Last week we had a small OC party to kick off the season. It was so funny. There was absolute silence while the show was on and then in the ads everyone just started talking at once about what was happening. It was great fun. Tonight we're going round to Brian and Brooke's for OC night again. We did it for pretty much every episode last year and I guess we'll do it this year until we move. It's so much fun! And House comes back on tomorrow night. YAY! Now I just have to wait for Survivor to start and then I will be in TV heaven!
Better head off and have a shower and then go to work. Oh the joy! I hope everyone is well. Tricia, if you read this, sorry about my email yesterday. I was just so pissed that the big one that I wrote disappeared that I just couldn't force myself to write another big one. But I promise I'll write a longer one in response to yours once you write back!
Ciao!
