my mom bought me this great black dress for the last formal of the yr, and its just a beautiful black dress. theres just something about dresses that when i put them on i just feel like i own the world, like i could do just do anything, rule a small country, take over the world, run a large corporation, all while looking ravishing. they make me feel just amazing, and so my mom is wonderful bc i can send her on a random quest to buy me a dress and of course she picks out something perfect for me. i didnt want to buy anything up here bc the clothes here just dont appeal to me, theres just something about the clothes in Houston, or the way ppl dress there that is so much more alive, flirtatious, attractive, beautiful, etc. i really dont know why i'm studying economics when the real thing that makes me giddy like a little girl is clothes and shoes...oh i love shoes....i actually think this dress would look better with a different pair of black shoes...maybe more of a stiletto heel, a little higher, with tiner straps. very simple, classic, and deathly. (yea i have gorgeous images of shoes running thru my head now)

oh and this weekend was just filled with good food (another great love), i figured since andy was coming over i should be a good host and treat him to some good food, so on friday night we went out to a good sushi place and had great sushi, then on saturday we went out to chinese and had just the best chinese dinner (all my favorites: wonton soup, egg rolls, and happy family) and then today since i had the van and was learning how to drive it, we went to springfield and ate at On the Border, which is a chain of Mexican/tex-mexish type food, it was sooo yummy i dont really care that its not authentic, and we ate too much and were late to getting the van back...but the food was soooo good.

andy's visit was the same as always, so good and yet just filled with silly bickering/fighing/being childish...but i think even as it was it went really well. i feel like when you've been dating someone for a yr and the beginning of the 8th month, you take the good with the bad and just remind urself to stop being so stubborn and childish and just apologize for not sharing the stupid game...(sorry about that pumpkin)

geez this semester is almost over and i dont feel like i ever really opened the books, eh. next semester I'll go back to the way things always are with me taking 5 classes and worrying about getting enough research done. in the meantime i'm going to enjoy the warmish weather (we're in the 60's y'all!) and try to figure out some concrete plans for the summer.

oh and make me more popular!
