baby me ***now, with update!***

the day at home yesterday was bliss. we slept in. we laid in bed and talked about weighty matters. we went to our favorite deli for spinach salad and potato soup and chocolate raspberry cheesecake. we bought a dustbuster and a new microwave (in red!) to replace the one i've had since i first lived by myself (1993!) and which lately has been taking twice as long to cook and has developed a bit of rust on the door. we watched "high fidelity" for the 80th time or so. we took naps. i studied for my exam while justin watched the cavs' heartbreaker, with a brief interruption for the second half of the idol elimination show (mandisa? are you kidding me???). all day, justin babied me, which is exactly what i needed.

and so today, i'm on a more even keel. i started the day by listening in on milo and by eating the bowl of cracklin' oat bran justin fixed for me. work has been fine - the crap infuriating me on tuesday just doesn't matter today. my prof said not to stress about the class and to meet him early tonight to take the test. after class, i'm making a cake for tomorrow night, when we're coming to our house for dessert after dinner out with friends. saturday, if flights look good, i'm flying to my mom's for the night for a girls' weekend with my grandma, my aunt, my cousin, my sister and my mom. life is good.

update: i think i aced the test. and i got back my last paper, on which i got a 100! the professor's comments:

"A first-rate analysis! Well done. I do hope you're destined for the social sciences; you have a real knack for it."

life is even better.
