all good things.

today is the day that i get to go and spend my gift certificate at blackbird... as well as return the gift that tyler got me there. i'm really excited to find something fabulous there. there is a small hope in the back of my mind that they will have another of the hat that i wanted... but i suspect it was a one of a kind sort of thing made locally or something. trying not to get my hopes up or anything just to be disappointed. there were also these REALLY cute purple italian leather gloves that i have been dreaming about... and there are countless fabulous things, really.

last night tyler and i went over to his best friend's parents house. it was sort of a guys hang out, but tyler really wanted me to go with him. so i did. for a while we sat upstairs me, tyler, kevin, brady, and andre, with kevin's brother, parents, and a couple of other people they had over. the 5 of us watched true blood on mute, with kevin explaining to his brother who people were and what was happening. it was pretty funny. i think van morrison was playing on the stereo - hence the muted true blood. i commented on how it was funny that eventually everyone just stopped talking and just watched the muted tv show, even though almost all of us have seen it already. and then the tv was turned off. i probably shouldn't have... because after that the boys and me made our way to the basement so playstation 3 nhl shootouts could take place. boredom ensued.

i was suffering from several consecutive nights of not enough sleep and working early, so i had already said i would be going home early to go to bed. at just after 9, i did that. tyler said he would stay and catch a ride home.

i went home, and watched an episode of gilmore girls (yes, i jumped on that bandwagon after hearing all of you talk about it... and i needed something to watch that tyler wouldn't want to watch with me) and then went to bed. i drifted into a very comfortable sleep. at one point, i don't know how long it was happening before i woke up, but i awoke to the sound of my phone buzzing uncontrollably. i think for a while i made the half asleep decision to just ignore it. it was probably just a useless text message. but eventually i picked it up, because it wouldn't stop viberating. it was tyler calling, which i thought was weird. why wasn't he home yet? he told me he was walking home... which is ridiculous. its a pretty far walk. and it was 3 am. he said no cabs were coming to get him... he didn't want me to come get him... but i didn't really want him to walk home and get home at like 5 or something. plus... when i got outside, it was snowing really good. and he wasn't even wearing a coat! sheesh. he tried telling me he was more than halfway by then anyway... but i got up and put on my slippers and one of his nice lined hoodies from his mom, and set out to find him.

i found him way way down bellavista road, and picked him up. we didn't talk on the way home. i was too tired.

but... as always when i get fully woken up... i couldn't fall asleep FOREVER... and now i am in the same place i was yesterday... soooo tired. hopefully things go better tonight and i get an early undisturbed night of sleep. hopefully.
