yes, that's me, tootling down the road with my completely valid driver's license and my car, which no longer requires me to blow into a tube every ten minutes. kick ass.

of course now i need a new headlight, which prohibits me from driving at night until i get it fixed. hopefully tomorrow while i'm at work.

saturday night i grilled with clint, matty, and allen. that was really nice. very relaxed. beer, garlic bread, asparagus. i fell asleep during the movie afterwards.

sunday my parents and i took the elders to eat brunch. then i got to go see my cousin's new baby. i was having fun until i was pressured into holding the baby, then i was absolutely petrified. i always think babies will start crying if i hold them, or maybe i would drop the baby or hold its head wrong....ack. that's what i get for being an only child.

tuesday night had a mini-breakdown. shitty. wednesday at work was not so great, either. wednesday evening i saw anna, and everything got a lot better. she came back to visit for a few days and brought a boy back with her. he was super nice. unbelievably easy to talk to. i don't meet people that i can actually talk to these days. anna also gave me a rather nice gift.

her gift means i am really, really enjoying my day off. :) tra la la, watching TV, cooking, so calm, la la......

other than that, just sittin'. workin'. jealous as hell-in' about madame_x's gambier pilgrimage. wish i could be there. really miss tim and tyler and kenyon.....actually i've been missing kenyon for a couple weeks now, badly, and missing the UK as well. i need money so i can go to chicago, but maybe i can find cheap plane tickets and time off work and feed my friend cravings.
