salmon skin roll... mmmm

I'm supposed to be packing for work tomorrow but I think I'm going to go to bed instead. It's only one short night away so I don't really need much stuff anyway.

This last week or so has been really nice. Any sort of funk that I was in previously has definitely gone. It's been good to be at home. Have time to do stuff. Reconnect with people I care about. I still didn't do everything I was supposed to but I got a lot done so I'm happy.

I just got back from hanging out with the girls for Kat's birthday. We had sushi and it was fabulous. I'm slowly but surely learning about it. I really like sushi but eat it so rarely it's practically a new experience every time. I don't think our waitress liked us at all. We weren't THAT difficult :-P. It was a lot of fun though. I had the rainbow roll which is a CA roll with avocado and the chef's choice of fish on top of it. Also had two Unagi rolls. They were quite tasty. I'm so happy cause I even got Faith to taste it. She also had the bean sprout salad, which she originally turned down, and tofu - and enjoyed them all. I really enjoy helping people broaden their horizens. Even if they don't like everything they try it's nice to at least try. The CA rolls had orange caviar in them, which if I've had before I never noticed. I only really noticed this time cause I cut the rolls up and saw it. Either it doesn't have much taste or there wasn't enough of it to taste.

Today was a busy driving day. Peter, Amie and I went up to Atlanta, met Wendy, ate at Moe's, and then went to IKEA. It was the second time I've been there and just made me wish I lived in a cool apartment in the city or something. They have such nice model rooms there. I'm still on my comforter search. Found something that was a possibility, but I'm really broke (broken - haha) right now, so I was just looking.

Speaking of broke - this whole cutting up the credit card thing is scary. Through the beauty of online bill pay, my bank account was nearly cleaned out yesterday. The suckiest part of it is that I'm going to be traveling for the next week and a half which makes it a lot harder to eat cheap. Maybe I can lose a little weight this way though :-P (or maybe I should just exercise).

And speaking of traveling - my company is stupid. It is taking them days and days to process requests for my swaps. I'm trying to get some different days off at the end of the month and I put in a few requests to swap and finally two days later they get denied so I have to put more in and they sit for two more days. So frustrating. What are they doing over there? Playing tiddlywinks??? That's my rant for the night.

The last day or so has been full of all sorts of accomplishments. I found the much sought after bathtub scrubber I need at good ol' Walmart. I did my laundry.... Okay, so maybe not a lot of accomplishments. I did get out of the house at least. I'm starting down the slippery slope of rambling. I need to sleep so I can get up early and get ready for work.
