 q u i e t n i g h t i n this is the first saturday night i've spent at home in as long as i can remember, and it's great. so what better way to celebrate than by listening to music on itunes and taking silly pictures of myself? my mom retires at the end of next week, so her coworkers threw a party for her last night. it was fun getting to hang out with my family and to see my mom interacting with all the people she has spent such a large amount of the last 14 years with. it was touching, and i know she appreciated it. hey...i just realized that i've been listening to the same arcade fire song playing over and over and over again for about the past 15 minutes. i was just thinking "my body is a cage" sure is a long song...and i realized it was on repeat. dorky. anyway, i didn't have the best sleep last night, because the inflatable bed i was sleeping on had a slow leak. by 1am, i was noticeably closer to the ground. by 4:30, my bony back bone was scraping the hard floor. i was able to pump it back up around 6:30 once i knew i wasn't going to wake anybody up with the sound of the pump, but it was too late to get any good sleep in. my plan was to get back early in the afternoon, take a nap, and see if there was any wild and crazy business i could get myself into tonight. that was, until i basically sat in traffic for 4.5 hours coming back to san diego. for your reference, it usually only takes 2.5 hours to get home from my parents' place...so that was an 80% increase in travel time. by hour 3, i was getting pretty bummed out, so it was time to pop in the 70s dance party mix and sing along to all the disco hits. i've been listening to a LOT of disco lately. i don't know what it is about it, but it really makes me giggle and i love it. so, since my early afternoon nap plans were spoiled, i took a late afternoon nap, and by the time i woke up and took a shower, i didn't feel like doing much tonight. that's ok. like i said before, i've been living it up lately, so one night at home isn't a bad thing. besides, i've got fun plans for tomorrow, including hanging out with friends, brunch, getting my tattoo touched up...and one very special person returns from many, many, many days away. Hooray!!!! camilles (9:15pm, 7.28.07)
 f a t t h i g h s people don't believe me when i say that all my fat goes right to my thighs. they say, "pshh...no!" maybe it's because in the grand scheme of things, i'm really not that big. i know i'm not, but that IS where the fat goes. i ended up with saddlebags in the genetic lottery. hurray. i was a little bummed when i had to go up a size in the juniors section to find a pair of shorts that fit. so i bought two pairs of bigger shorts. one pair fits great. the other pair sucks, and i'm annoyed i took the tag off. they fit great around my booty and thighs, and then the waist has enough room for me to gain about 20 pounds. but if i gained 20 pounds, my thighs would get even bigger, and then i'd have to go up some more sizes again anyway. the weekend was fine, and i managed to avoid being too lonely. len is on his way over in a bit. originally i was going to exercise before having him come over, but then i decided it would be a better idea to just change and clean up downstairs. it's a whirlwind of papers. no amount of exercise will make my thighs change shape. a pear is always a pear. a smaller pear, but still a pear. :) camilles (5:39pm, 7.23.07)
 t a k e i t e a s y i'm taking it easy tonight, even though i'm sure i could find a billion things to do tonight. leanne had me over for delicious dinner, and we stuffed ourselves. and then i came home, because i'm just feeling a little blue. i've been in a weird mood this last week. mainly, i'm lonely. and i'm not used to being lonely. don't mistake that for me not knowing how to be my own person. that's something i can do fine. it's just tough to be lonely when i'm built to be an even better person when i've got my best friend around. art projects have been floating around in my head, which is usually my "tell" of angst. maybe i'll hop into bed early and watch a funny movie. get my mind off of things. camilles (9:41pm, 7.20.07)
 l o v e s a n d i e g o we've spent 3 glorious weekends at home, and i'm looking forward to a few more before heading up north to celebrate my mom's retirement. it's been nice visiting all of our favorite places and seeing all of our friends. helen and hatty even came down last weekend, and we were able to go to the beach, eat some good food, and just have an all around good time. trista is visiting me this weekend. we've already got plans to go see the red elvises, the zoo, have afternoon tea, see a movie, and check out ray at night. it'll be nice time to just hang out and enjoy the beautiful city i've made my home in. speaking of my home...i've got some laundry to fold!! camilles (7:16pm, 7.11.07)
