Just Like Eik

"You can wonder, if you wanna, but I never ask why...

And you can try to hold me down, but I'll spit in your eye and say that you can't stop the beat!"

I am at an impass. I have nothing to write about, but nothing better to do. The book I am reading (The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova) is kind of slow right now, so it is hard to push my way through. I work 'til 5, so I hope to get to a good part by that time. Here are random Eik-deas (like ideas, but mine!).

~My hair is really curly today. Much moreso than usual and I think I like it.
~I love playing tennis in the morning...it really gets me geared up for the rest of the day. Plus, it isn't so blasted hot then. However, I only won one game today, and I got mad at Nick for beating me. Next week it is on!
~There is a puppy staying at my apartment this weekend! I am excited. He is my "nephew" Tyson and I am pretty sure I might spoil him!
~I was the bigger person today by telling Nick that he should go home for the weekend. It would have been nice to have him keep me occupied this weekend when Claus is busy, but home is important too! I didn't want to be the reason he stayed and wasn't happy about it.
~When renting movies, it is important to consider past history one holds with the person whom they are watching the movie with. For example, if you want to watch "Just Friends" consider the fact that there was a time when there was a waivering between 'just friends' and 'something more.' Otherwise, it can make for a slightly awkward situation that requires a conversation afterwards to make sure that everything is okay with the two of you. (For the record, we are fine...no more awkwardness.)
~My cousin is trying to hook me up with people who will be at her wedding. This creeps me out a little bit because her male friends are checking out my senior pictures (5 year old Sr. pictures) and asking if I am single. Bless her heart, for some of them I am single, and for some of them I am taken (at least she is culling the undesirable ones for me!). But the one she is really pushing for graduated from West Point and is apparently quite attractive...this intrigues me.
~I have been drinking a lot of lemon-water lately and found out that it raises your metabolism. Yes! And I wasn't even doing it for that...I just like the taste!
~I broke my Nalgene yesterday. As I figured would eventually happen, I dropped it at the right angle and there is a split that circles the middle of the poor guy now. I am hoping the company will send a new one since they are "indestructible." We'll see!

Okay, that is enough randomness. Back to reading. Have a great, safe weekend. Make good choices and don't forget to miss me!

I loved The Historian, but it can be kinda slow in places. I also had trouble remembering who was where in what time period. I got really into it towards the end though.
