I can’t believe its August already! Wow!! This time last year, I was getting ready for Josh’s brother’s wedding and I was so stressed out with life at that time. Crazy! A year later, I am so much more carefree and just plain happy for once. Sometimes you don’t know you’re happy until something bad happens and looking back, you realized that you were happy. It’s very rare I think for people to actually know that happiness is within their own little bubble of a world. I know that there are always little things here and there that may compromise it, but overall things are going great. I will be going to Modesto this weekend and then to Vegas in a few weeks. The weather is cloudy, but hot, so it’s still nice, especially when the sun decides to poke it’s rays out between the clouds.

I saw Wicked on Friday night and it blew me away! It was fantastic. Great voices, great fun story full of laughs and tears. I really liked it and it gives you such a different perspective on the story, The Wizard of Oz. Such a creative write and it was adapted to the stage wonderfully. It makes you question the definitions of good and evil and right and wrong, etc. Lovely! Thanks M!

I hung out with Josh a majority of the day on Saturday and the weather was beautiful. We took a walk around the neighborhood and got frozen yogurt. It was an awesome feeling not having to do anything that day or have any pressing matters. We had dinner with Règis and Ramona (who just finished taking the BAR exam and was visiting from the Bay, congrats and good luck!) at Hurry Curry (I [heart] Japanese curry).

She and I went out with her friend, Dena, and we went dancing. We went to The Space because Dena knew the bar manager and they had a 70s cover band performing that night. They weren’t too shabby. Ramona took off her shoes and put it at our table and started dancing on the dance floor. But the security guards wouldn’t let her dance without shoes so she went back to get them, but they were gone. She was really mad because they were new shoes and very very cute. She began frantically looking for them all over the club. She told the security guard and it seemed like he didn’t care. A few moments later, another security guard came up with her shoes and she got pissed at him and an argument ensued and we got thrown out of the club. I guess it would’ve been different if the security guard was being genuinely nice about it and was actually looking for the owner of the shoes, but it seemed like he purposely took them to show her a lesson or something. I say, he should try dancing in heels and see how fast he would take them off. Anyway, it would have been so much easier if he didn’t have a mightier-than-thou attitude, because really, he’s just a security guard and he doesn’t even get to carry a gun. I mean, any guy that treats ladies like that is a jerk. It is even worse because I remember that guy from the past couple of times when I went there with other friends. He was trying to get up on me and my friends and was being touchy-feely with us. I didn’t like it one bit. It’s just creepy. Anyway, we went to Aaron’s place afterwards to get rid of the negative energy. Aaron is a sweet guy. I’ve met him a few times, every time Ramona visited, he would attend the outings. But he was really cool for hanging with us, especially since we woke him up in the middle of the night and pretty much forced our way into his apartment.

I spent a majority of my Sunday with Lisa. We had brunch at the Omelette Parlor and went shopping all over West LA to search for bathroom items for her bathroom. After hours of shopping, she ended up with a very cute towel set and brushed metal bathroom accessories. Very nice. I got a new black skirt for work and some Capri’s. (I used to hate Capri’s, I am still not overexcited about them, but they’re okay. I like that I can wear them to work.) I got home and decided to totally reorganize my closets and drawers. This was a greater feat than I thought it would be. I set aside all of the clothes that I don’t wear or fit anymore and it ended up filling 3 huge department store handle bags. Even with all of the clothes gone, it still feels as though my closet is full. I don’t know how that works, but at least I have room to hang up my work slacks. I think that was my original intent before undergoing the extreme reorganizations. It is nice though. I bought some huge storage containers to temporarily pack my sweaters in and put them above the closet. It’s so nice. I know, I’m becoming boring now. I’ll stop.

So I realized that I probably will not be a good housewife, well at least at this time in my life. I am not an adamant cleaner. I eat out all of the time. I barely pick up my laundry, and I hardly cook. Lucky Josh. I know that it will change after perhaps a life changing event, like maybe when I have kids or something, but I really don’t think this will change much until then. Even being married won’t really change it, I don’t think. The reason why I am rambling is that I noticed that Josh cooks for us way more than I ever did. I like it because it’s convenient and cute. But I know that it will all change when he starts school again, but I am enjoying it for the time being. I have to try to balance it eventually though. I know that I have it in me somewhere. But we are chugging along with the new Harry Potter book, we’re about halfway done. It’s becoming exciting. Speaking of exciting, Six Feet Under is at its best, which is really hard to believe because it is such an awesome show. If you haven’t watched it, I say don’t bother watching the next few episodes because it will be their last ones. Watch it from the beginning. It is amazing and I’ve been hooked for years now and I can’t imagine it not being on after this season. Nothing good is on right now, which is probably for the best because I really don’t have time for television anyway.

I didn’t post yesterday, so this is a day late: Happy Birthday Michelle!! I hope you had a wonderful day! There's so many birthdays this month! Woohoo!!
