new apartment.

so today, i got the afternoon off.  have i mentioned here before that my hours got cut in more than half?  oh yeah, it's pretty... not awesome.  but the free time can be enjoyable sometimes.

today, mom and i spent the day helping a family friend find accessories to outfit her new apartment.  it was so much fun to return things, find new things, decide what scheme to go with -- a color or a theme?  it was great.

there is nothing like spending fun times with fun friends. 

so we decided to top the night with dinner.  all day it had been gorgeous.  a little too hot for my comfort level but it was sunny and therefore, i couldn't complain.  then, all of the sudden, this dark cloud of gloom appeared.  and just as we pulled into the parking lot, this dark cloud of gloom opened up and it rained cats and dogs.

it is still raining, but now i'm really not complaining.  i love thunderstorms!
