last night, i went to see 'my big fat greek wedding' with michael. it was quite good, but i must say that i wasn't feeling tip-top, so that surely detracted somewhat from my overall enjoyment. and plus, it was another one of those 'awkward girl changes her look and suddenly gets the man of her dreams and they fall in love and get married'-kind of stories. don't get me wrong - i'm all about a good love story, but this one wasn't that compelling. what was particularly entertaining was her crazy family - especially the father, whose answer to all health problems is a good shot of windex. the one thing that really got on my nerves, though, was how much she allowed her family to get away with - making all the decisions for her wedding, including some really hideous outfits! and the husband-to-be didn't seem to care a whit. i couldn't get on board with all of that....

maybe i was in too cynical of a place to see a film last night. i think it was the fact that i was feeling kind of feverish and exhausted, and we had just been lugging around ikea buying michael some desk-type furniture. when i got home, i went to bed before 1 a.m. (unusual for me), so i know that i was tired....

today, however, i'm feeling more refreshed. i slept in until nearly 11 and i feel much less depleted than yesterday. obviously, rest is the answer to all my problems right about now.....

that and a good shot of windex, of course.
