dog-sitting on the upper west side

good lord i am bored. i am so glad it's friday. i am just not used to this whole--working--thing. i am a lazy bum. although, i must say, NOT being able to be a lazy bum, and being forced to actually enter to world every day this week, has REALLY put me in a better mood. i feel much happier than before. hope it lasts.

i am dog-sitting again. i love me some dog-sitting every now and again. it's like taking a mini-vacation to manhattan for a few days. all i have to do is walk and feed the dogs, and they pay ME. it's pretty great to make some extra bucks right now, as i don't actually know whether i'm going to have rent money for june. WHEE, now that's something fun to think about.

i'm nearly halfway finished with harry potter 5, and i had somehow forgotten it's nearly 900 pages. how could i have forgotten that? well it doesn't seem that long. i've only been reading it for about a week, and only at night before bed for about a half hour or so, and i'm already this far. it's so stinking good, i swear. that woman. i don't think i'll ever get over her talent. it's just freaking nuts. my mom and i were talking about book 6 coming out in july (she's the one who basically FORCED me to read harry potter, possibly the best thing she's done for me in a few years-hehe), and she mentioned that she's going to pre-order her copy on amazon, because they're giving 40% off for that. i told my mom that if j.k. rowling does a book signing in new york when it's released, i'm going to go to it and get it signed. my mom's response: "you're going to pay full price?!" i thought that was funny, because that wasn't my point at all.

so last night i fell asleep (i don't know when), and then i woke up at 4:00 am, got up to use the restroom, and realized that i hadn't eaten dinner. weird. so i had only one meal yesterday. maybe i'll lose a pound or two. =) you see, i just realized yesterday that i'll be going to rob's wedding in june ALONE, which means i have to at least look really good in my dress. not for rob, obviously, but for all of his fraternity brothers who may be there, who i haven't seen in like 4 years. but anywho. i bought the greatest teal silk dress to wear back in december. i love teal. aqua, turqoise. they're all so great. i should post this before my boss gets back unexpectedly and it gets erased because i get flustered and close the window in a panic. lol.

hope everyone has a FABulous weekend.
