tough day

oy... I had one of those days. How bout you?

It could have been because lastnight soon after going to sleep the mesquito's decended and proceeded to eat my hot (temperature and otherwise) boyfriend up and no more than 30 minutes later we had to simply turn on the light, put on our glasses and kill that damn mesquito!

We did. But Rick was convinced that wasn't him or he would be full of blood. According to the 8 huge bites (he has allergies too, so they effect him more), I believed him... but after dozing off once with the light on we decided that must have been him and tried to sleep.

I awoke at 4am to find him just deciding to leave after waking up with his hand hurting from being bitten. JESUS Mesquito's!! So he left for FL today and I will miss him.

Anyway, I woke up after some crazy fall-back-asleep-after waking-up-early-and-falling-back-asleep dreams... and then a lot happened:

> I sold my couch
> I did two loads of laundry
> I had house cleaners come clean my house. Yes this is SUCH a luxury, but right now I neeeed someone to help me mop these floors because I DONT WANT TO! And they did. My place hasn't looked cleaner since I moved in. I'm stoked.
> I reproduced a .eps of a company's logo
> I worked on 10x10 trade show panels
> I had a couch meltdown. I thought I wanted this one couch and I loved it so much and I thought it was actually a really good deal for a really nice couch... so I thought NO though, because it's white and I have a really fuzzy kitty.. and I don't want to have to worry about getting spahetti sauce on it & ruining it forever.

>> That, and Rick's not here and I didn't have enough super strong man muscles. And then I just was thinking about slipcovering it - but it's such a beautiful couch - it'd be a shame... so what do I do.. yaddayadda. Finally I broke down when I realized how hard it would be to get through my front gate. Totally stress me out.

>>> I dunno - I think I could probably make it all happen... but not today. It's kinda hard to find a good affordable couch these days. I shoulda just paid someone to wrap it up & move it.

aaanyway

then after someone stressful of afternoon of dealing with more stuff than i planned for the day, I finally got to shower and go buy a bottle of wine and head over to my friend Lyne's house. She cooked me a nice italian dinner (italian music too!) and we drank wine and talked about boys and life and she showed me her new dresses. she's such a peach. and she made really yummy food - AND - she gave me a chocolate caramel afterwards!

I learned her brother and father are both musicians. Her little brother Aaron Cuadra is a musician in LA. We listened to him and he sounds a ton like the music I used to listen to in like '93. Which is not a dis, I love that stuff still. Jackopierce and the old Vertical Horizon. I know I'm a geek - but when I lived in Boulder, I used to listen to that all the time.

aanyway that leads me up to here. Oh & she gave me a new skirt! Now if it'll just warm up around here already!
