nutcracker tonight.

i got some free tix to the moscow ballet's nutcracker tonight.. my roommates and i are going. i think it will be fun, i saw the nutcracker for the first time last year, actually i saw my first ballet ever last year too. now my parents can go to their first ballet.. they are going to be so cultured when i am down with them. :) they are so lucky that i don't have a lot of friends here in syracuse.

last night the cable went out at 7:30, so the three of us piled onto the new couch and hovered around the business card sized portable color TV aunt theresa gave me for xmas years ago to watch survivor.. then in the middle of the episode, we lost power. good thing we have that tv.. :) it was sad actually the lengths we were going to to watch our shows. :) when you find yourself squeezed onto the couch, in the pitch black squinting at a minuscule handheld battery operated television, cursing the cable company you know you have a problem.

i had wicked heartburn last night. i woke up choking, feeling like the back of my throat was burning out the back of my body. i couldn't get it to stop either.. i ended up having to get up, go downstairs, eat about 27 TUMS and pace around trying to relax and not cough so it would subside and go away.. finally i was able to fall asleep for a little while on the couch... needless to say, this morning was a red bull kind of wake-up.

this weekend i feel free. i don't have a million website edits hanging over my head.. maybe i'll do some more painting. or earn some extra cash working freelance.
