FRIDAY.

So. Friday. I resigned my lease! YAY. Agreed to a tentative contract- I can leave at any time as long as I give my landlord 60 days notice. Seemed like the best idea... it was kind of a bummer day for me. I was supposed to go to Chris’s company Christmas party up in Duluth. I had been looking forward to it for a long time. I tried to make him feel better about going by himself which made me feel even worse about it. Which makes no sense- but is true.

Anyways. To make myself feel better, I went to IKEA and spent $600 on bedroom furniture. For the past, I don’t know- 6 years or so my mattress has been sitting on the floor. I don’t know why this matters- god knows the next time someone’s going to see it- maybe I’m trying to improve my bed karma... kind of an asian-inspired, hidden-bookcase Field of Dreams. If I build it, he will come ;)

Those of you who shop IKEA know- you can purchase something that assembled is, say- the size of a minivan but it comes in a box the size of a book of matches. So yeah, after swearing and hammering... screwing and some more swearing... I was... done. (If by done you mean in-no-way-shape-or-form-done) Ugh, it was time to get out of the house.

So I called up Boyd and Nea and we all went to see I AM LEGEND- sorta. We really really tried to see it at 10. 3 theaters and 4 hours later, we finally did:) I decided the reason Will Smith was all alone in New York City was because everybody else was at the movie theater... I enjoyed it though! Much more than the book. (I plan on getting a fire place specifically so I can burn it;) It was nice to be out with people again! Nea told me she was proud of me, being all fabulous and single-like again. And I managed to hang on to those feelings all weekend...

But now it’s Monday and I really need a distraction right now. (More so than work is offering me;) Something. I’m going crazy here. Tell me to take up underwater basket weaving.

I’ll listen.
