in the end, though, life is good

yesterday we had our official easter dinner at jarom’s parents house. it was delicious…the ham from christmas, asparagus, roasted potatoes, artichoke, that brazilian drink, and deviled eggs. no, wait – since krista made them, they were stuffed eggs.

and it was tons of fun. I don’t think I’ve had so much fun in several weeks. ben, jarom, their dad and I had a conversation about social problems (I love talking about social problems), we had a good (though embarrasing) time over dessert (angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream), jarom and I got all of his stuff cleaned out of the garage, and all in all I enjoyed myself so much that we stayed until after 10. it was definitely a great start to what promises to be a very stressful week.

one test today, and then finals start, for me, on saturday. luckily I only have 3. one will be hard (pl sc 170: intro to international relations), one challenging but amusing (soc 111: intro to sociology), and one rather easy, if a little writing-intensive (soc 112: current social problems). those will last until next tuesday, after which I will finish a million things on my to do list…including packing all of my stuff…and then head back to california! hooray!!!

note to self: don’t eat all the leftover ham at once next time. bleh, I feel sick.

bridal shower? not so much

kimberlee, who hosted the bridal shower, sent out 50 invitations. unfortunately, she didn’t send them out until late last week, and with finals coming up, I understand that a lot of people are busy with school. but…of the 10 people that came today, only 2 were not relatives or roommates. kind of disappointing. still, it was fun, and I had to stuff my mouth full of marshmallows. yuck.

so I was fairly let down, since it seemed like none of my friends even bothered to rsvp. after we finished cleaning up I went and cried to jarom for a long time, hung out with krista, and then went on a date with jarom to color me mine. i painted a scalloped bowl and jarom painted a soup-mug sort of thing. it made me feel much better to be productive and creative.

and, after all, it’s only 3 weeks until the big day!

bridal shower…or not

so this one time, kimberlee said she would throw me a bridal shower. it sounded like a lot of fun. unfortunately, no one really cared, so maybe in the end it is more of a kimberlee & mika all-you-can-eat sort of party instead of an actual bridal shower.

then again, maybe people are just too lazy to rsvp.

then again, maybe people know they won’t come anyway, so why rsvp?

well, regardless, there will be chips & salsa, so I’m definitely going. besides…the decorations are fun!
