this week's lesson: it is not that fun to watch your favorite soap operas 5 days a week.

i am SO FUCKING STIR CRAZY. i feel like my entire life is on hold right now...and....well, it really is. still waiting for approval from the stupid apartment complex - i'll hopefully know tomorrow. i was stupid and decided to wait for the whole job application thing until i had a more permanent address and non-arizona phone number. i have all the ones i wanna apply for picked out...i just shouldn't have waited.

anyway.

so i really have had nothing to do all week. started to get to me yesterday, so i cleaned. and then today, after phone calls with the apartment place, i realized i was gonna seriously lose it if i sat around all day. mel had to work. lisa is at a school thing til 9. and i'll be damned if i was gonna watch passions again.

so i went and drove around a lot. it's so fun to just pick an exit and then wind around until i find another entrance to whatever freeway.

then i went to the grocery store and decided to pick up the makin's for these green chili chicken enchiladas i'm so fond of. i've actually never made them. hell - i've never made ANYTHING that isn't simple. so i'm quite proud of myself.

well, i should hold off on saying that til i taste the things. see, the recipe my mom gave me was for a bit more than i wanted to make. i mean, i'll eat off the leftovers for a while if mel and lisa don't like them, but i didn't wanna overdo it. so i had to kinda just wing it.

i'm going to see howie tomorrow. that is, if he isn't still sick. which will pretty much be bummer of the century, but i guess we'lldeal with that when it happens. going into the city with becky and mike during the day...then howie...then more howie on sunday...i am one happy girl.

GAH. i need something to do. it's really such a shame i'm so afraid of bothering people. or i just might be able to come up with something!

i guess i'll go take that stuff out of the over.
