overnight

so im working overnight tonight because ms. hesters mom was sick and pal asked me to come in. it kind of worked out in my favor though bc i got to go shopping with lele this afternoon. we went to get shoes and ended up running into maria who was shopping or her dress for the party tomorrow. im really excited. tomorrow will be the official engagement and she ended up with this beautiful jewel tone green/blue dress from calvin klein that looks amazing. im really happy for her. she has only known the guy for about three weeks and theyre already getting married. its all so whirlwind and romantic, and you all know im a sucker for love. the only thing is that in the back of my mind i keep wondering if maybe it isnt all a little fast. he keeps talking about wanting to take care of her and how she wont have to work anymore but for some reason, things like that throw me off a little. ive met him, and he seems like a genuinely nice guy it just all seems too good to be true. but it seems like theyre both happy and in love so its really not my place to put any doubts into her head when everything is falling into place. plus my mom says that once your of a certain age, you know what you want so you dont have to go through all the same stuff you do when youre younger. i can neither confirm nor deny this, so i'll just take her word for it.

other than that things are the same. im currently listening to matt & his family/friends have drunken conversations in the lobby. its kind of annoying but only bc im trying to type and its hard to concentrate with noise in the background. its been rather busy tonight. people have been in and out since i got here bc of jazzfest but its a good thing, i suppose.

im trying to figure out what to do for my mom for mothers day. i realize that the smartest thing to do will be to just give her money since she is so low on cash these days, but i was also thinking she might really enjoy a nice massage or spa treatment. im looking at the aveda parker salon for now bc it seems like they do a lot and i want it to be really nice, but we will have to see. i was gonna do jewelry but lele said she is getting her a bracelet and so now im grasping for ideas... so if you have any leave some!

also, the cruise is like 3 weeks away and i can not even wait. ive got my swim suit, luggage, and dresses all set and ready. i just have to return a few things i didnt like and maybe get some more sandals and a few extra dresses.

this song has been in my head all day
