gotta love friday eve

hola friends and happy thursday.



thursdays are such a blah day, so i try to look at them as friday eves :) because seriously, who doesn't love a friday?



this week has gone by fast, thankfully, and i'm excited for the weekend.  except for maybe doing a little car shopping, i have ZERO plans for the weekend and that makes me happy.  normally my weekends are pretty hectic, so i hope to sit in bed, watch a lot of movies, and catch up on my knitting.  at the most, maybe i'll grab a white mocha and do some walking on the beach.  but in the end, my ultimate goal is to do a whole lot of nothing. :)



in other news, i just bought a plane ticket to visit home the first weekend in november!  i'll fly in around 9pm on November 5th and back out on 7:40 November 8th.  that gives me almost 3 days with my family and i can't wait.  it'll have been 4 months since i've seen them, which is the longest we've all been apart.  we have plans to enjoy the beauty of autumn by taking a trip up to apple hill one day, and as for the rest of the weekend...who cares!  :)  i have big plans to sit in the family room and play with the dogs while we all talk and laugh and enjoy each other's company.  i couldn't ask for much more than that. 



life in so cal is good right now.  the weather is gloomy today, which i LOVE.  tonight's plans include a lot of dishes, laundry, and going to the gym.  my first real trip to the gym, ever.  the only time i have ever been to any gym was a couple years ago with my mom and little sister.  i spent about 3 minutes on an ab machine before i gave up and went to the hot tub.





mostly, i just have this idea in my head that i hate gyms because a)  i have no idea how to use all those complicated-looking machines and b) i have this terrible fear of creepers watching me work out.



BUT i finally decided that if everyone else can do it, so can i.  so i made myself sign up and pay for a membership, which i figured would force me to use it.  i get this "fitness orientation" thing with my package, so hopefully someone smarter than i will help me out HOW to use all those crazy machines.   i also picked a smaller gym and i'm hoping that will mean it's generally "creep-free."  so tonight is the time: time to put my membership (and body) into good use.  i will let you know how it goes :)



lastly, i have not heard from ethan...  i'm still not assuming anything yet, but once i am sure he's gone, i will post an update.



happy friday-eve everyone! :)
