hum-drum, ho-hum

well, it's hump day. nothing fun about that except that we're a couple days closer to the weekend. it's still too early to tell if i'll make it OVER the hump though. i'm 50/50 at this point.

it's going to rain... again. and my hair can't take much more of this dreaded humidity. it's like 200% today, as opposed to the usual 100%. thank goodness for humidity fighting hairspray. it does work.

matilda has announced that she doesn't want a birthday party this year. i was planning on something fun at a local eatery/game haven, but she said, 'no, i don't want a party. i just want to do something with you, grandmerry and granddaddy. ' now, that was about as cute as it could get, but i was surprised she didn't want something with her school friends. she really doesn't either. i waited a couple days and asked again... same answer. 'i don't want a party.' so... alas - she's not getting one.

i feel kinda odd about the whole thing actually. i won't force her to do something she doesn't want to do, but i feel bad that she'll tell other kids and HIM that she didn't have a party for her birthday. if i know matilda though, she'll say she didn't want one. and that's all that matters to me.

so now, i'm focusing on a good BIG present for her. one that will be educational, but fun. i was thinking of those handheld learning game things. i don't know. it's so hard because she'll play with something for a few days and then that's it... and i'll have spent 80 bucks on the thing. i'd like to find something that we can buy differnt games for. maybe that leapster thing is the answer. i'll have to see.

anyway - that's about it with me these days. i have this weekend on my own, minus my matilda... and i've decided to stay home alone friday night. i spend every second of the weekend with my parents and while i love them more than ever, i need some time away. so i've decided to spend friday evening alone. i'll pick up some sushi on my way home, maybe pop in a dvd and just relax and enjoy my time with myself. and the cat too of course. should be good.

who knows... i might even blog a little. =)
