Happy February

You'll notice that you can leave comments, but they won't show up initially. These are sent directly to my account, where I can read them myself. Hopefully, this will encourage more people to leave comments and say 'hello', without worrying who in the world might be reading them. I understand :) Hope you do, too. ((Also - if you want them published, I can "approve" them and have them listed on the page like before, but if you don't want your comments published, let me know and I will just read them myself from here on out (just tell me once and I'll remember) and I will not "approve" them to be listed, okay?))

Today was a long day. Work was quite an adventure but because we were so swamped, it went quickly. I got out of work a little bit late, and realized I forgot to fill out my timesheet. Oops. I'll have to be SURE to do that Monday. After work I waited an HOUR in the rain for the bus - as did about 10 other people. Once we were on the bus, which was pretty empty because we are the beginning of the line basically, it filled up QUICKLY - we were flying past normal stops that had anywhere from 10-30 people waiting to get on...and mad when they saw the bus go by. I think the hold-up was because of some festivities going on downtown, but I don't see how that would make a bus over an hour late...ridiculous. I got off a couple stops early to go to the ATM (in case I went to the Punahou Carnival with Shelby and her friends) and get dinner, and I also found a video store!! So I rented "Good Luck Chuck" and signed up for an account there. Yay!!! :) That made me feel a little better. I have a nail place, a hair place, a Subway, Korean food, a market, an ATM (not my bank though) and a video rental place. How cool is that?! You can also play online games and listen to music in the video place. And right next door is a wine cellar store. Pretty neat little area...

I got back to the apartment and scarfed my dinner, a BBQ chicken meal from Makiki Inn (the Korean/American place). Then I talked to Zach for a second, and mom for a good while on the phone before it was everyone's bedtime and I watched my movie....and now it's time to hit the sack.

Tomorrow, I am supposed to meet up with Jesse and go to the swap meet, he leaves Monday for Ohio. Then Irene was saying her boyfriend thinks the Chinese New Year festival is going on downtown tomorrow night downtown, complete with a lion parade thing. So she wants me to tag along if they go out. Sounds like fun to me! We'll see how the weather is tomorrow - this rain crap sucks...yes, I know, I have little room to complain :) But YOU aren't dealing with these damn creepy crawlies on your ceiling!!!! And - a light went out in my 'hallway' and I can't reach it to change it. And seeing as how I have NO FURNITURE, I can't climb on anything either. Crap. I paid my rent today so furniture is a LONG way off from the looks of it ;)

Hope everyone had a happy Friday and you're all staying in for a warm weekend. Love you!

me.
