ugh- i'm so disappointed that i'm still working on gravity's rainbow!! i mean, it's really holding me back. at least i've surpassed the 100 page mark... only 600 more to go. honestly, i've only been reading it about 30 minutes a day. but i resolve to finish! maybe i'll start a new book in december.
well, we're finally making that first (for me) trip home next weekend. i really can't wait. really. really really. it's great cause we'll be home and with family and places we recognize, but it also sucks that it's going to be such a short trip. most of our time will be filled with festivities (jeff's sisters wedding), and then it's back on a plane. i wish we had a little more time to see some friends and eat some good thai.
i wish we had the time/money to make more trips, but it really isn't possible right now.
today the traffic was so bad on my way home that for over a mile i walked faster than the bus. i felt pretty good about that. i feel pretty good about walking. i feel pretty good because of walking. i'm up to 20 miles/week now.
tomorrow night we are going to the grand opening of our neighbor's new restaurant, aka sushi house. we've been hearing and imagining all kinds of good things about it (tristan is a french chef... making japanese food. only good things could come of that) for months, and it's right across the street from my work. so that's convenient :) we're supposed to be getting a 5 course meal, so hopefully we'll be able to find some vegetarian goodies to choose from.
