have you had your latin kiss today?

"for once in my life, i won't let sorrow hurt me, not like it's hurt me before"--stevie wonder

hey hey,
my eyes hurt, they hurt b/c i have been going to sleep after 12 every night this week, last night was the kicker at about 1.15. why, why do i do these things?

last night, i left work kind of late, this thing i had to work on for a meeting took longer than i thought, which wasn't a problem b/c i wasn't supposed to meet lauren for dinner til like 8.30, so no biggie. after work, i went shopping. i'm looking for that "perfect pair of jeans". i had no luck..i think it's b/c i don't really give any place a chance except Express. it's been well known that Express makes their clothes for girls who are 5'9" and weigh 100 lbs. i am neither of these things, so they are usually wayyy too long for me..or in this instance, too expensive, boo $70. after shopping around with no luck, i finally decided to just wait in the parking lot b/c i was getting tired. i called vincent while i was waiting, he was getting ready to play guitar hero. awesome.

lauren showed up and we went to eat at the macaroni grill, the waiter brought me a house salad instead of a caesar salad but when you barely eat anything all day, anything works. my iced tea was $2. i don't understand who's idea it was to charge over $1.25 for something that is just colored water. ok, so i need to remember that my meal could have been less than $20 if i had thought of that. it was good to catch up on our little "date". we talked about work, boys, high school, whatever. there for a little over an hour so i didn't get home til about 10.30.

at home i watched american idol (boo, austin won't be the 2 hour episode next week) and then made the mistake of going BACK to my computer. i guess i had called kitch earlier in the day and i didn't hear my phone ring (that's twice, when kel called last night too and when he did) but i DID hear the message. best. message. ever, ya big nerd. so i called him back. i tried to multi-task while downloading music, having 3 IMs, the phone and myspace-ing...it was hard, but an hour later, i was like craaaap. it's 1am. i'm in bed, i slept like a rock. it was one of my best sleeping experiences ever,...except for the fact that apparently my body thought it should just "wake up" and leave me in a light sleep for the last 30 mins of my r.e.m. boo body.

you know when you find out something about someone you didn't know, even though you KNOW they're an asshole, you didn't think they were THAT big of an asshole...the kind of thing that makes you feel like an idiot? i wont' repeat, but let's just say, ladies, learn about a guy's track record, you never know, you could be kissing/dating/sleeping with a man-whore.

but then...after you think all guys are assholes, you spend an hour on the phone with one laughing for about 51 minutes...i guess there is hope out there.

my eyes hurt, i already said that, i know. but they do. i'm really excited about tonight! i even have a cute change of clothes, lol. i'm going to meet shawna, sharla, colleen and vincent for our weekly happy hour at Paradise. paradise is the first bar i ever went to (thanks, jeff). they have some pretty good drink specials, yay! after we get totally tipsy, shawna, sharla and i are going to go see jarrod's band, paperwork, play at the flamingo cantina (shoutout to paperwork and steph, i'm FINALLY COMING!) i'm looking forward to another late evening, this one should top them all. can't wait.

peace out.

*not that it really matters b/c everyone knows the bachelor never picks the right girl, but my picks for this season are susan [#1], and sarah from canada. we'll see how that goes.
