tired, busy, etc

wanna blog and keep you all updated, but it's almost one, and there's busier days ahead.

wendnesday was surreal- last day of classes, last day in the costume shop- that was really sad. i cleaned out my cubbie, got my dress together to drag home, etc. mom arrived safely in chicago, and to the costume shop. then everyone in the shop went out for dinner at the pub around the corner. a good goodbye. then mom and i drug all my stuff (costumes, textbooks, the dress) to ch's, where he invited us for wine and desert. hugo came over, too, so mom got to meet him. i tried on my dress for them (with the hoop and the corset and everything) and that was super fun. am uploading pictures now- we'll see how long it takes. i hate iphoto- have i mentioned that before?

anyway, we ended up drinking wine and eating peach cobbler and playing cards- mom and i taught ch and hugo how to play 500. we ended up playing way too long- we didn't leave until after 11! ugh, and it was pouring rain when we were carrying all that stuff home in the midle of the night. and it was SO hard to wake up this morning!

but i did, went to work, and the day slowly past. we're all ready for mother's day- keep the orders coming! mom cleaned my apartment while i was at work -yes- and then she met us at the flowershop. we convinced ch to go out with us, and we all went to boni vino for pizza. then mom and i trudged (still raining..) to school for stage combat finals! we ended up staying for the whole thing- they were truely fabulous. michelle and kim are both in stage combat 2, so it was fun to watch people i knew fighting. and there was such a fun combo of stuff- shakespeare, kung fu movies, totally rediculous movies (i don't remember broadswords in mall rats...) and funny plays. after awhile we could pick up things- ah, there's the unsworded move, there's the headlock-elbow in the chest move... it was a good time.

still raining, though not as hard, but much colder, on the way home.

then i got to see my new shiny apartment (and put away all my junk that had piled up) and fold the laundry and hook up mom's camera. which is the point i'm at now. loading, loading- hopefully soon i'll have everything on flickr. will imbed pics as soon as they're up!
