11:45 Late Friday Morning   I knew There Was a Reason Here's a little mushmush about how much I appreciate my darling boyfriend. (in other words, a warning) Hehehehe I get all giddy when he calls me! it's worth waking up in the morning to hear his voice...even if it's just on the telephone. Even though Tom never went over, he still stayed up til 2 am in order to call me and tell me to get up. Of course, then he says "oh but if you want to go back to sleep, that's ok." and I was like "don't tempt me, mister." Heh. Unfortunately I couldn't talk long because 8 am on a friday uses up minutes. Oh well. I've been happy all day (so far) just to talk to him. Also! great news: I found the sieves! bad news: the soil is basically just small rocks and it is nearly impossible to grind them. It's taking me at least an hour per each sample. so i should talk to paul about that. the good news about the bad news: since the soil takes so long, i stole my dad's mp3 player and have been listening and interacting with his Spanish Lesson "books on tape," so that's fun. I've taken 2 so far. I took the first one and then the second one, and then the first one again. I kind of want to savour them. I'm weird that way. Alyson came over last night. So did Mandy. We had fun, we played Pretty Pretty Princess and Barbies and jumped on the trampoline and had a marvelous bath (but not so marvelous hair-combing afterwords). It was good. Tonight I'm going over to Mandy's house cos it's her mom's birthday. :) What fun. cake two days in a row! yay! then Saturday I might trek down to "the big city." How exciting.
