The Daily News

Well, today was a good day. I went to lunch with my friend Constance. We went to Little Tokyo---my favorite! It was also one of the first restaurants I took Kurt to when he moved to Jackson. Alexander's was the first. But sometime I'll post our engagement story. :) ANYWAY, I came home and honestly, I just feel like I killed a lot of time. I was researching things for our anniversary trip (I get in a zone when I'm planning a trip...it's ridiculous). Anyway, Kurt came home and we ate leftover tortilla soup and then watched American Idol. Kurt said he didn't think he could stand two hours of terrible singing, but I think he ended up liking it somewhat. Oddly enough, my father really enjoys this show. A surprise fact about my dad: he's an excellent music critic. He can hear when someone is the least bit sharp or flat. Another lesser known fact: he can water ski barefoot. It's true! He learned from a member of the US Ski team when we lived in Orlando. I keep getting off track...

So we watched American Idol and then I took a shower. It sounds like a really boring thing, but I've become a fan of showers at night. I just feel like I take more time and I feel better afterwards. AND....I exfoliated my face AND put a masque on. I usually never take time to give my skin a little extra boost....it felt good! I read some of my Walt Disney biography and now Kurt just made me more hot chocolate. I think we must be in a hot chocolate mood. :)

Anyway, tomorrow I am packing for our Cape Girardeau trip (exciting!) and then meeting up with Brooke to give her my Christmas gift to her. It's really cute! Thursday I go in to observe at Live Oak (where I'll work). I'm already kind of nervous! Pray for me. Happy evening, everyone!
