4 nicole to see

A day at the observatory.

Today is today

I haven't been updating this blog too much. I'm not even sure why. Nothing much going
on lately. Just the usual work and sleep issues, headaches and reality shows, rain and odd
warm winter weather. I have been eating a little much though, we cooked japanese style
hamburger steak the other night- I think we're going to use the rest of the meat and make
it again tonight, and also tonjiru soup. Today we found this little bakery a few miles from
the apt. It was really cute and they had such yummy pastries! We had the open face egg
sandwich on cranberry bread and turkey sandwich on sourdough. I picked up some
pastries too, they were so so good! What's happening to me? I've been so hungry lately.
Is it all these food blogs all over the net?? Tempting me to cook and eat, eat and cook?


Anyway, I better get some work done. Just dropped off my film at rite aid. There's this
one guy that does the photos pretty good and he was there. But they DID just get a new machine so
I'm a little nervous about how these canon ae-1 shots will come out! My first roll i've
shot w/ this camera and I'm really excited! He said they'll be ready at 6:30 and it's 4:43 now.
Not exactly one hour photo but whatever. I'm just grateful they got their lab back!!!
I was dying, having to go all the way to the other one. Don't want to pay for Green Street
either. I just need the negatives. Nothing fancy.

Okay. I gotta go. Hope you're having a good week. OH WAIT! It's Friday!!! Happy Friday!
I completely forgot! Now I'm REALLY excited. Have a good weekend, people :)

Be Mine

Wow. Had a really nice day today. Woke up and Ron surprised me with roses, which was completely
unexpected. Thank you, Ron. Sat around for a few hours and ate mac + cheese, cut the stems and
put the roses in a vase, which is sitting comfortably on the living room table.

I really wanted to get out of the house today. It was actually all i've been thinking about all week long.
We took a long walk around the block. Watched the metro pass, browsed through a few thrift stores,
window shopped and drooled over some old china and jadite bowls and cups, took photos, and drank
coffee at a cute little coffee shop across from the library. There were a pack of birds flying back and
forth between the trees at the coffee shop, they looked like parrots but I wasn't sure what they were.
There were so many of them, and they were so loud. Then the sun started to go down, so we walked
back. I couldn't have asked for a better Valentines Day. :)

Hope you had a great day as well. xoxo

Dinner + a beverage

Ate dinner at Islands tonight, I feel a little sick now. Had chicken strips and some french
fries and a vodka tonic. Should've went next door to Kabuki and had some Udon. Oh well.
We sat, talked and watched some of the speed skating on the olympics. They were playing
it at Islands. Did you know I took speed skating for 3 years? Crazy. I miss it sometimes.

Ron's watching the Michael Jackson dvd. I had to put my headphones on and blast music
into my brain. I can't watch it, I just don't want to feel sad. Don't think I'm ready to watch
it yet, as crazy as that may sound.

Tomorrow is Valentines Day. I'm gonna try to get out of the house during the day tomorrow.
You think I can do it?? Wish me luck :)
