Vortexia's Secret

there's so much i want to do with this place, and yet so little that will probably ever happen. money is an object, a big one, and so are time, energy, and motivation. lately i'm loving warm earthy tones for paint, but obviously i can't paint the apartment. so that kind of stinks. but i'm kind of happy with the color... it's an off white color with white on the trim. so it looks put together. unfortunately i don't have the money to put together all the stuff of my dreams. i'd have roman blinds or something nice like that, mirrors over the fireplace, candles in the fireplace, a wall of fabulous black and whites, a room with japanese influences, and a few other things. new futon covers would be great to pull the hand-me-down furniture into what i'm working with. blah, anyway this is just ramblings. i noticed that while i was at my parents' house i was very motivated. i wanted to finish unpacking, finish the table project, make roman blinds myself, hang all the decorations, and all kinds of stuff. but of course as soon as i got home i decided that i was no longer interested in it because i was free and on my own schedule again. plus i had nobody to escape from when i was by myself. oh how i love my apartment!

ok, so more updating. i have fallen in love with a coffee house near my parents' house and am getting addicted. they have an incredible sweet-but-not-too-sweet coffee that is just so good. i have started to crave it whenever i go home. i need to find a good place near my own place. but more importantly... i got to go to the concert last night. unfortunately we didn't get to do all the pre-concert stuff because we were waiting forever for the best guy friend to get his butt back. we waited as long as humanly possible, and finally just had to go without them. turns out it was good we did because they changed their minds and didn't show up at all. after the concert we dropped by to say goodbye to them, and then did the usual after-concert IHOP run. two very important events that happened that night deserve their own entry, which will come very very soon. but onto today before i go back to those things.

went to lunch with a couple great friends. it was a feat of great proportions to actually get all of us together in time for lunchtime, but we pulled it off. it was pretty comical... multiple messages in various combinations, discovering that all kinds of numbers i used to have no longer were valid ones to track people down, and the choice of restaurants... at one point we considered stopping by a gas station and microwaving some burritos. although we are all low-maintenance women, we decided that might be just a tad too low maintenance and stepped it up to sandwiches. it was great to get together again. i had fun girls!!

i'll be back soon with the great details of that fateful night. you'll understand once i share. but first, i'm going to drink something good. like green tea or coffee or something. i'm a drink junkie. i think some drinks can taste better and comfort more than some foods. of course i love both. let's all say yay for our tastebuds! hahaha
