“tell me that someday you’ll be returning
and maybe
maybe i’ll believe
it’s just enough to see a shooting star
to know you’re never really far
it’s just enough to see a shooting star
to know you’re never really gone
oh, please don’t go
let me have you just one moment more
oh, all i need
all i want is just one moment more” — mindy smith “one moment more”

katherine’s right. we don’t tell the people we love that we love them often enough. for tonight, i hope they all know.

wednesday was good, though kind of exhausting. it shouldn’t have been. it was meant to be a day for me to rest up a little bit. it wasn’t. but i’m doing alright and tomorrow is quickly approaching. so i’ll try and tuck in a few minutes early, though i realize this isn’t’ something that happens all that much, no matter how hard i try. anyway, i’m not sure what i’m rambling on about anymore, so i’m just going to start at the beginning of my day, as i tend to do.

i slept like not really at all last night until i got to like early morning. then i slept. and i was definitely out of it when the alarm went off this morning. that’s so messed up. i need more hours in my night. how do i make that happen without going to bed earlier? ;) so anyway, i got up and was all groggy but just went through the motions of getting cleaned up and ready for work. i had some breakfast. i packed up my gym bag. and put on a cute skirt and heels (definitely adorable ;)). and then i headed out on another fabulously sunny morning, though i did it a crazy patch of really dense fog near dana point harbor. but i was out of it in like half a mile. weird. but anyway, it was lovely out once again, which is a great way to start any day! :)

work. work today went well. it was kind of noisy around, which is most enjoyable on days like today where we all have a bit of free time to chat about whatever comes up. and i’ll just say that we definitely took advantage. i’d say today’s main topic was the corruption in the diamond business. it’s true. people die. hehe! okay, it’s not funny that people die, but it’s funny that we talked about this all afternoon. anyway, we also went out to lunch at z pizza, which was fine. some days it is more delicious than others. better than nothing, that’s for sure! :) and it was nice to get out of the office for a little bit. i always like that.

this afternoon, diana was once again meant to come to the beach with me for a walk, but she realized this morning that she had a hair appointment. fine. she rescheduled for tomorrow, which should be fun. so then i debated about whether to go to the beach or the pool tonight, but with the help of annahita decided that i should go to the beach. i love the beach. and the working out is about doing what i enjoy to keep myself healthy. so beach it was. and i went. and with some things on my mind, i walked and walked and walked and walked. it was really great. i walked that stress out of myself, which i definitely needed. i walked farther than normal down the trail and then once back on the beach, i walked way, way farther, going all the way down to the opposite end of the beach to the rocks. awesome. it felt great. and i once again ran the stairs because it seems like a good habit to get into. so great workout on a great evening at the beach. i love it here. it’s so beautiful.

then i came home and got cleaned up right away. i was too sweaty and gross to really do anything else. then i ended up on the phone with katherine, which was good because we did need to catch up. so i talked to her for awhile while trying to scrounge up a little dinner. and i talked to the family, as well. adam was more talkative than last night, likely because he was trying to avoid the finals studying that needs to get done tonight.

it’s an addiction. i might need to seek help. ;) i went down to golden spoon for a little frozen yogurt once again. it’s so good! i can’t stop myself. and it was a nice night. i wore shorts and a little sweatshirt down there. at night! that’s awesome! oh, i’m so feeling summer right now. so i came home and enjoyed it (so good!) while watching the most useful episode of “mythbusters” ever! they tested ways to prevent seasickness. the only thing they found to work (besides the traditional drugs, which have side effects — mostly drowsiness) was ginger pills. rad! i might have to give that a try next time i am traveling and know i might get sick. i made mom watch, too. :)

and now, i want to tuck in. there’s nothing on tv really, and i kind of want to start another book. i’m tempted to make it some girly novel again (because i especially love those in the summer) but maybe i should choose something more intelligent. not sure yet. :)

okay, so that’s enough out of me for right now. i’ll be back next time with more. oh, the stars were out tonight because it’s so clear. i love that. okay, g’night! ;)
