This past week has both dragged and flown by. I can't believe that it's already Saturday (only by 17 minutes, but still). Doug comes home today :)

I think that's why this week has dragged, but flew by because I was so busy. For the 4th, I went out to Fillmore (it's now tradition), to hang out with amazing friends, eat amazing food, and blow up barbies and stuffed animals with modified piccalo petes (don't tell).

Both Tuesday and Wednesday I had floorset which really threw off my sense of time. Both nights I got off work at 5. On the second night I was not tired at all when I got home. I watched some of Glee, ate breakfast, showered, and then took some Tylonel p.m. and conked out till 3 in the afternoon. I was still tired but figured that it would be a bad idea to sleep any longer. I hung out with friends again. We played Trivial pursuit and ate oreo fudge cremes (I'd been seeing commercials when I watched stuff online and they looked so good...and man are they good!).

Then Allison, Elyse, and I watched "Charlie St. Cloud." It was ok. I think I would have liked it better if I hadn't seen the trailer. They left around 1 but I was still not that tired. After a bit I made myself go to sleep though cause I had to get up early the next day.

This morning I went to a work meeting, and then had work a couple of hours after that. After work I decided to wash Doug's truck for him. I feel like guys either spend too much time on their cars or no time at all. I am really okay with Doug not washing his truck five times a month and treating it like his baby. I'm glad that he chooses to spend his free time with me and not with his truck :) With that said though, his truck was diiiirty! I told my dad that I think the last time that it was waxed was when we were dating and he taught me how. So I washed it, waxed it, vacuumed it, cleaned the carpets and seats, and put a new air freshener in it (one that he had when we were at Hume and always brings back early dating memories). I'm excited for him to see it!

When we were watching "Charlie St. Cloud" (I know that technically that wouldn't go in quotes but it's the easiest way to emphasize that it's a title), the characters were talking about e.e. Cummings, and it got me remembering about studying him in an English class at SBCC. I remembered which poem was my favorite and thought I'd post it:

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Doug comes home tomorrow, did I mention that?! I think I'm gonna try to get some sleep. With how long I've been awake and how much I did, I'm actually rather shocked that I'm not more tired. I should be sleeping by now...
