3 days
I could NOT be happier that I have today off - I needed it so badly. Friday night was nice and relaxing, but I slept badly that night... why do you think??? Click-click-clickety heels next door. I woke up Saturday morning and went straight to my notepad - where I wrote a very polite letter asking her to PLEASE take off her heels when walking around her apt - ESPECIALLY in the middle of the night. I swear, I have NO idea what in the hell she's doing at 3 am walking back and forth, back and forth... I mean, when I get home after a long night I go to two places: the refridgerator or the bed!
Early Saturday evening, C and I headed towards the beach for out oyster and seafood dinner. We got there at the perfect time to sit at the bar and watch the sun setting over the Pacific. I ordered a 1/2 dozen oysters and three sampling wines with it. C also ordered an appetizer and shared my oysters! Pardon my excitement, but cut to a couple of years ago and I couldn't even get him to eat a piece of FRIED fish... now he's all about sushi and oysters? What a California boy ;)
After dinner, we stopped at the store to pick up Guitar Hero for our Wii... cut to two hours later with wine, wii and the guitar - it was SUCH a fun night. I got pretty buzzed so I went to bed a bit before midnight and I woke up at 4:30 am to drink some water. And that's where the fun started - I couldn't get back to bed until 7:15 am. Does that ever happen to you? It was so frustrating. I couldn't get comfy, and then I just wasn't tired. By the time I feel asleep, my alarm went off shortly thereafter. Needless to say, I was a walking zombie yesterday.
We had to get up to see the new condo we're moving into! You heard it, we're moving! Most likely April 1st, although we'll have to see in the next week or two how the condo progresses. It's being fully built right now, and it's going to be GORGEOUS. 2 bedrooms (luxury for us), 2 stories, beautiful kitchen with all new appliances, fireplaces, 3 bathrooms, a huge patio opening into a front yard. We are extremely excited, and it's rent to own situation. So we will pay rent and in approx. a year, if we decide we want to buy it, that rent will have gone towards a down payment - which is perfect for us considering I don't think we're exactly ready to buy a home just yet. It's in a new area that both of us don't know all that well, but it's near everything. YAY!
Last night, thankfully, I slept a whole 9 hours (I needed it!) and just gonna run some errands today... Hope you all had nice three-day weekends!!!
YAY for new houses!! You might have to post/send pictures.
Have a fabulous day off!

I didn't have the day off, but must say that the notion of 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep sounds quite lovely.
Also, having now seen your hair via photos in other places, I can officially say with authority that you look fabulous!!!!

Aaaannd I'm an idiot. I thought your profile pic on (another website) was of your new hair, but upon going back and looking, it is actually not. But then, you knew that.
Anyway, I will therefore say two things: You look fabulous all the time and thusly although I can't say I've seen the new hair myself, I can say you definitely look fab, and also I will renew my request to see your new hair. kthxbai.

That whole weekend sounds amazing! I can't eat raw fish or sushi for 8 months now, but when this baby comes out of me SUSHI here I come~! Also, I am so jealous of that condo. It sounds FAB!

Your weekend sounds fantastic.

New condo = so exciting! And potentially buying it = more awesome! It sounds like you had so much fun! It takes about a year or so each time for me to convince my bf to start enjoying a new food that he always claimed he hated.

Our upstairs neighbor has recently taken to clomping around in heels in the middle of the night. It is driving me NUTS. And she was always so quiet before.
