Big Day Today

• We get the keys to our new place tomorrow morning at 8! Yay!
• I suddenly have a bunch of opportunities. Who knows if they'll pan out, but at least there's something to hope for.
• I got an A again in accounting this term. I'm taking it again next term. I'll have a second bachelor's degree in no time--this time a BS. But if you ask people who know me, they think I already have BS. Heh.
• Saw an old friend randomly on the street. That was nice. And since I have so much going on lately, I actually had something to talk about.

Monday

• My shelves are almost all packed, thanks to my parents.
• It was warm today.
• I washed my french press, so it's ready for me tomorrow.
• I will have time tonight to watch TV or read a book before bed.

Food, Friends, & Fun (Oh wait, that's the old McDonald's Slogan)

• Saw a friend I hadn't seen in years tonight.
• Tried a new restaurant that I've been wanting to for quite a while. (It was pretty good, but not all I hoped, but that's OK, because now I know.)
• Wandered around 1st Thursday a little bit. 
• The weather dried up for my evening outing!

OK

• I started off all excited and motivated this morning...but then it wore off. But at least I started off that way, right?
• I made a good dinner: kale & pecorino crostini and panfried tilapia. Served with a nice Italian white, of course.
• I got my $125 free money from Chase for opening a checking account with them. Yay!
• "French Fields" is a very funny Britcom from 1989 about an English couple who move to France on a whim when the accountant husband gets offered a job there. I found it at the library, and have been watching an episode or two every evening. Very enjoyable.

I Remembered!

• My friend got a new car! Actually, it's his first car ever, and I'm really excited for him! It's an Acura TL. Sporty!
• I sat down and worked on the cover letter and my resume. Now I can goof off and watch TV.
• Three years ago today, Derek and I went on our first date. He chose the place, and I thought at the time that it was a good sign that he picked Le Happy, since it was a place I already went to and enjoyed. I got there first, and when he walked in I thought: "Yay! This guy is cute! Finally!" (I had been on several first dates with guys that were NOT cute in person.) We chatted, ate crepes, and decided to go on to another bar--ended up being Muu-Muu's, and some crazy guy sat down at our table outside and started talking to us. Derek walked me back to my car, and kissed me goodnight (yes, that's right a kiss on the first date!). I instantly wanted to see him again. I guess it worked out so far. :)

Yeah, Yeah, I Totally Forgot Again

So, considering all the stuff going on, I really forget about this. But here's the latest:

• Fantastic SE Asian dinner last weekend: Cambodian chicken noodle soup (to put it mildly) cooked by Derek, and Vietnamese cabbage salad from me. It was a hot, spicy evening. ;)
• Keys on the 15th (or have I already mentioned that?), moving on the 16th, and the kitties on the 17th. Derek will come a little later.
• Escape from New York pizza, Manhattans, and Mad Men tonight. The taste of that pizza reminds me of when I lived off of NW 23rd. I was super angsty then, but it really was the best time ever. Lots of money (relatively speaking), boys, friends, going out, and acquiring fancy new things during that time. I hope that my new place will acquire certain flavors associated with it that make me just as happy.
