Heeeeeelloooooooooooo! I'm a caaaaaaaaaaaar!
Christmas was just motherfuckig nuts. Let's just sum it up with my dad actually being nice to me and overcompensating for skipping my birthday by getting me a video iPod (which, let me say, I never wanted before, but now that I have one, I LOVE it, and haven't been able to stop putting stuff on it); me finding out that my mom, who I had lately taken to be the sane one, is actually a little paranoid, and more than a little nuts; my new mother-in-law being more ballsy than previously thought; and for once I wasn't sick over New Years. I have Airborne tablets and super-strenght Tylenol to thank for that one. All the other stuff I don't really feel like getting into.
I put in my notice at work, although I will be working half days on Fridays until I see how much class work I have. If its not too bad I'll work whole days on Fridays. Classes start next Tuesday, and I am really excited.
Today I bought new glasses, something I've been needing as I have a tendency to buy glasses and then wind up hating them two weeks later. That leads to me only wearing them before I go to bed and when I'm sick, and when I wear then when I'm not sleepy or sick I always feel like I'm one of the two as that's the only time I ever wear my glasses. This time I had D and Nikki go with me to pick out a pair. I couldn't find anything I liked in the three shops we tried in the Galleria (to be technical, two in the Galleria and one in the Highland Village). We then went to Eye Q, by Montrose, but they were closed on Mondays. I remembered that there's a shop in the Uptown Park, so we hit them on the way home, and there, in the Eye Glassiers of Houston, I fell in love. For a good long time I thought I wouldn't be able to decide between two pairs of glasses made by the same Japanese company (can't remember the name right now for the life of me), but I wound up going with this funky brown and blue pair that are what the man helping me called "tuxedo shaped." Whatever. They're gorgeous. And more expensive than anything else I've ever bought. More expensive than my wedding dress. More than a car payment. And about what I have left to pay for my tuition. I validate it because the last two times I've bought glasses, they've come from the economy shelf. So this is like three pairs of glasses in one. And they're glasses that I'll wake up and say "I feel like wearing my glasses today," which was the whole purpose of bringing my sister and D along.
I met up with Jennifer for coffee on Saturday. It went ok, two people who know each other extremely well being extremely formal with each other. D and I were supposed to have dinner with her and her fiancee tomorrow, but they had to cancel. At this point, I don't know if we can be friends like we used to, but we'll see. I'm willing to give it a shot.
And as a parting shot, that Dane Cook is a silly bitch.
