Love me tender

"Others appreciate you more than you think"

Finally, a fortune that has some insight. Two weeks ago Tyler and I checked out the grocery stores in China Town. I picked up a whole bag of fortune cookies. Yay! A sweet treat and a peek into my future! The fortunes have mostly been lame--yesterday's was, "You have a great appreciation for beautiful things". Is that opposed to ugly things? Are you calling me shallow? Cookie! How rude.

I feel accomplished today. I phoned my dad this morning. Dear God, I just realized, it's snowy out today, I hope he made it home alright or else my last words to him were, "OH SHIT! MY BUS!" Whoops. I love you Dad. (And yes, I made it onto the bus.)

I also called my mom this afternoon. Apparently she misses me. "Don't you have pilates anymore?" She asked.

"Yeah, I had a class on Monday." I actually haven't been to one in a few weeks.

"Oh, well how come you don't stop by anymore? You used to come by on the way there or on the way home."

"Hm, I don't know. I guess I was busy that day. After class I went to Tyler's."

"Oh."

Whoops. I love you Mom.

I also made some appointments. I made a doctor's appointment, an eye doctor's appointment, and a massage appointment (yes! I am trying it again! New place though. I will give my review later this month.) I already have a dentist appointment scheduled. Weee. I don't much enjoy appointments. So if I'm grumpy one day, I probably have an appointment, or just had one, or have to make another one as a follow-up. Grrr.

This weekend I am dragging Tyler to a social for an old high school friend. There will likely be some people there that I have not seen in 10 years. Look at me! I have a cool job! And a cool boyfriend who knows a dahlia from a daisy! Maybe if I am lucky they will play a slow song and Tyler will ask me to dance. Maybe if I am really lucky it won't be Elvis. (I happen to know the bride loves Elvis. Okay, I kind of like him too. Only at weddings.)

Amara had her baby on Saturday. It's a boy. I guess because Amara's my first close friend to have a baby the first e-mail update I got from her was surreal. It's finally sinking in that she has this new little person in her life. He has a name. He likes to cry all night. He doesn't like being changed. Babies usually don't interest me, but I'm excited to meet this one.
