sunday ☆s

☆ this week i had plans every day of the week. phew. no wonder i was feeling crap by friday. i went in late to work on thursday because of an upset stomach and friday was a constant headache. a nice little three day weekend will do just fine thankyouverymuch.

☆ friday, near the end of work day, i texted a coworker (he and i started working at the same time, in the middle of the school year, so we always joke about being our own "class" since we didn't start when everyone else did and have a distinct group that we started with) from across the staff room and said, "気分転換しよ〜よ" (the best translation i can come up with is: let's go out and blow off work stress. haha) and he wrote back, "いいねぇ！" gotta love texting from 10 feet away. we went to shabushabu near school. it was delicious. after dinner we sat and chatted and we wanted to go bowling but it was too late, so we stopped off at some batting cages instead. it was awesome! i love the batting cages. i'm not the best batter, but i hit a couple nice fly balls into the high net and just barely caught the ball more than half of the time. he dropped me off at the station, i made my way home and was in bed before 11pm. happy halloween, right? haha.

☆last night i took Newbie along to an international party that i found out about on mixi. it was from 7pm to 9:30pm in shibuya. i was horrible at pretending i didn't speak japanese. (hey, i can't help it if i laugh when they say something funny!) there were several cute guys, some who could speak english even, but turns out they were all about five years younger than me! yeah, 困るよ. a bunch of us (including said cute YOUNG boy) went to saizeriya for food and then off to take purikura. now, don't get me wrong, i like purikura just as much as the next girl, but the other girl we were with was adamant that we all go and take purikura. and was all giggly and excited about it too! yeah, i was feeling old. i exchanged numbers with all the guys but never really hold my breath on things like this.

☆ i got home after the party and spent a couple hours messaging back and forth on mixi with a guy. earlier saturday, i was wasting time, clicking communities and profiles and from that, i got two messages in my inbox. i'm wary of mixi, but i figure messaging is harmless. who knows...it's fun for now. one of the guys from last night texted me too. he was kind of boring though so i'm not jumping in my seat. sorry guy.

☆ i'm all out of gain laundry detergent. so, i switched to cheer concentrate. the laundry is in the dryer right now (at the laundromat) but i brought home two sweaters to air dry and every once in a while i get drafts of it. lovely. now if i could just figure out where in the kitchen the mystery smell is coming from...yuck.

☆ i seriously debated turning on the heater yesterday but just didn't have the heart to...it's just too early! i have, however, been wearing my fleece socks around the house since last week. very cozy.

☆ i wish i had plans tonight. i am doing what i should though, which is staying home and doing nothing/relaxing. in these situations, i wish i had someone who would just come over and snuggle on the couch and watch tv with me.
