I woke up late this morning. Weird, I haven’t done that in a really long time. I slept through my alarm. It happens, but very rarely. I couldn’t figure it out. I rushed into the shower and got ready. I guess it didn’t matter because my bosses were all on business trips anyway, but it totally ruins my morning running around like a crazy woman and rushing to get to work. I was driving and then the answer came to me. I’m not used to sleeping alone anymore. It’s not only that, but I know that Josh is a light sleeper, so I always wake up when the alarm rings and turn it off right away or hit snooze. But since he wasn’t there, I guess I subconsciously slept through it knowing that he wouldn’t be affected by it. So strange. Angela and I were talking about it last night. Randy is in New York and I think that we have become so dependent on their presence that it’s hard for us to sleep or wake up normally when they are gone. I guess that’s when I know that I am used to living with him. It’s a nice feeling actually. But it is sucky when I wake up and he’s not there. It just doesn’t feel right. But I am so glad that he is back! We can finally watch 2046 together in the theaters. (Yay Alexis! The website for the film looks awesome. Great job!)

I went to see UCLA Alums Raining Jane and Sara Bareilles at the Troubador last night. (If you go to Sara’s site, it has a poster of her and Raining Jane. Eva and I were lucky enough to get one that was autographed by all of them.) It was an awesome show. And though the venue is small, it’s still one of my favorite places to watch bands. It was sold out and sooo crowded. But it was great to see so many come out on a Monday to support them. They are both going on tour and I am happy that Sara finally was able to get signed by a major label. It was nice to see a lot of old friends there as well. The girls were there, Kristy, Lindsay, Beth, Kaplan, and Jesse. I even saw Purdy with his new wife!! I still can’t believe that he is married. Awesome show with awesome company, you can’t get any better than that.

Today was very mellow. I know that it will be the calm before the storm. It’s going to get really busy at work soon, I can feel it. I will be attending my first client dinner and I am a bit nervous. Don’t know why, but I am. It’s always weird to meet people after you’ve spent so long emailing each other back and forth about business. They are almost always not what you seem and it throws me off sometimes. Anyway, at work, I had to sit through Business Code of Conduct Training and a Sexual Harassment Prevention Training. Fun fun! At least I won’t have to do it again for 24 months. Sweet.

I had a lovely dinner with M tonight. I had a lot of things running through my head about her. I love her to death, but given the new information about her relationship, I knew that we had to talk about it. I felt like an older sister in many ways. It was nice to speak openly and honestly about her predicament and help to try to find the best solutions for them. Her sister was in town this past weekend and attended a transfer Orientation session and she hated it. That sucks because I have so much faith in the program, being an alum and all. It’s just a shame. I hope that things will work out for her. She will be moving to LA sometime soon. Yay! I will have my own little sister.

So I wanted to wait for Josh to get back to watch Six Feet Under, but he was really tired and didn’t mind me watching it first, so I did. I [heart] Nate on the show. I cried and cried uncontrollably for a while. It’s just realizing everything that the show has gone through the past 5 seasons makes it so much harder to watch it, especially since it’s coming to an end very soon. I think that I will have to organize a party for the last episode because I am not sure if I can watch it alone. Once it’s gone, nothing will be good on TV. I am hoping that Arrested Development starts soon because I hear that Scrubs got pushed back to January and The Sopranos will start in March, as will Curb Your Enthusiasm. No more good shows left really. Sigh.

Amy will be arriving in New York around the same time I wake up for work. Crazy to think that she will be there almost permanently. I will miss her dearly. Amy - you, me, New York: New Years. Sounds like fun!! And Kate will be there too!! Woohoo!

Eek! Time for bed.
