So Anca came home late Wednesday and by thursday night i was very sick. Fever, sore throat, lost voice, worst headache i've head in years...i dont know what the hell my problem is. I'm trying to be healthier than ever before--vitamins, sleep, exercise, well-balanced food, and bam, i'm sick all the time.

so that put a huge damper on everything. I missed half of work on Friday and only went in because of how busy we are. Anca and i did NOTHING but eat with her parents night after night...

last night, her parents had this dinner party and this woman "Olga" was there--Olga is a lawyer and she has a daughter who went to Harvard for undergrad and scored a 175 on her LSAT and is at U of M law school currently, after taking two years off to compete countrywide in cycling. Olga provided anca and i with a very nice, motivating talk. Olga and Poofa's dad win for life-changing conversations this year. I am quite receptive to people with advice so that helps...but we must learn to exercise our WILL muscle!

i'm sorry to realize i've almost seen all the "Look for Less" episodes...

I bought a fancy black hat today. Nick has to take me out to dinner now so i can wear a dramatic all black outfit with super dark eyemakeup and my new hat.

oh and i chopped my own hair off yesterday. I straightened it and it was soooo long and i just was frustrated so now its shoulderlength and VERY uneven. I like it though. I'm dreading seeing it curly. It will be up to my ears. i need amy yu to fix me up-

Kristen and i rearranged the apartment earlier this week and i put up a lot of christmas shit. i havent even thought about christmas for years but i've been enjoying being the annoying carol-singing, overly joyous christmas-spirit girl this year.

i had such hopes for this weekend--i was going to be so productive and enjoy anca--but instead, i slept 14 hours a day and ate for the other 10 hours.

I've seen way too much of Nick lately. I'd probably be a very superior person if he didn't suck so much energy out of me. The word superior is more a joke for Anca's benefit by the way--and she does not read this thing...

okay maybe ill have some wine and go to sleep. This past week was a wash. Today was a neutral non-day. Tomorrow I'm going to be back!
everything will be under control.
