met indie for dinner on tuesday night. it was really good to spend some time with her...i haven't seen her since her birthday in january...it's so odd - we live less than a mile from each other and we still never seem to make time to get together.

i went shopping at old navy on tuesday evening before i met up with indie - like i said i was needing to do...and i found a couple of really great deals for paul...so i bought them and i kept going on and on about a surprise that i had for him...well, our 8 month anniversary was on tuesday, and usually we don't get each other anything for them, we just spend the evening together and usually get some dinner and a bottle of wine...well, this one was different! after i gave him the surprise i'd been going on and on about ( it was just a jacket and a shirt ), he said "do you want your surprise now? i thought he was joking, but then he pulled out a little box - and in side was a pair of diamond earrings!! he had gotten them on monday, when i thought he had stayed home to do his taxes...i could hardly believe it...he's so good to me, sometimes i don't feel like i deserve him.

yestereday at lunch, mary and i went and got manicures and pedicures...mine went over the time i allotted for it,  because they did her pedi first and my  mani and then switched us, but the pedis take longer, plus, i couldn't put my shoes back on right away afterwards...so, i was a little bummed about the way they handled that, plus we really wanted to go together, that was the whole point of making the appointments at the same time. but, the pedicure was still heavenly...i'm definately going back for another one of those sometime - the manicure left a lot to be desired, mary thought so too...it was probably just the chick that did them - we both liked the other girl better.

this evening i pick up dan at the airport...i hate going there by myself - the traffic and crowds are always horrible...i hope i can find the hotel he's staying at...i called to get directions, but you know how i feel about people's general competance... paul can't come with me because it's his dad's birthday and they're having a dinner at his folks' house. we were bummed both things fell on the same day - be/c i wanted to go to the dinner and p wanted to see dan...but i guess he'll get to see him on saturday.

indie was all bummed out be/c she's busy on saturday and won't be able to see my brother. they met only one time (at my wedding) and dan got the wrong impression from her - he thought she was a horrible snob...and i can't imagine he could be thinking of the right person. well, sticking my foot in my mouth, like i often do, i told indie about it when we were on the subject once ( she actually asked me if she comes off as a snob, be/c her boyfriend told her that she did ) - i've never thought so, but i thought she might like to know she did to my bro...BIG MISTAKE! i don't know what i was thinking - because she's been bugged by it ever since, naturally, and she wants to proove him wrong, but she's not going to get the chance this visit.
