princess' back
...that's my back i'm talking about. =) i'm not sure how many people know the story of the princess and the pea, but among the friends here, only a limited few respond affirmatively about knowing such a fairy tale. geez, where did these people grow up? it runs along the same era as rumpelstelskin, jack and the bean-stalk, and many others. the sleep consultant, on the other hand, knew what i was talking about.
i do feel like a spoiled princess sometimes. i just went and got a new mattress for my dorm room; it's unfortunately a twin. i downgraded from my irvine full bed to an extra long twin dorm mattress to now a twin. but i'm not complaining; in fact, i'm more than ecstatic! the sealy mattress is quite an impressive product, posturepeudically (interesting word, eh?) enhanced. there is something about my taste that has gotten a tad too posh; i have a natural inclination for the better product. it's almost sickening if you ask me. =) i guess that's also where my exercise of self-control comes in, testing my ability and restraining myself from the unnecessary and want to the appropriate and need. i wonder if it's the environment that i'm currently in or the friends i'm associated with that has created this critical me. don't get me wrong, i'm not quite yet the "must-be-slapped-silly, bring her down to earth girl." i'm just grateful---grateful for all that i have and all that i can have. God protects me wherever i go.
even tonight, after the mattress hunting, s, j, j's visiting gf and i all went out for pumpkin hunting. we almost had a charlie brown halloween. it must be a CT thing because we went through several grocery stores...and i'm talking 5 appropriate big-name stores for pumpkins, but there was absolutely none. was it a consequence of procrastination (the day before halloween)? so maybe it was my fault because the first place we went to was a pumkin patch outside the church, charging nearly $5 for an ugly-shaped pumpkin. i commented that there must be some better looking (and cheaper) ones at a grocery store. not only were these pumpkins the last-rejected few of the bunch, but it boggled our minds trying to explain the deal about a church celebrating a pagan holiday. it's rather interesting. but nevertheless, we hunted down all the stores, and after each trip, we began to think of different ways of celebrating a pumpkin carving festivity. oranges? one suggested. how about cantaloupe? our desperation drained our energy; we understood why kids would go smoke and do drugs. they couldn't find pumpkins to carve, so they had to resort to their second options. haha. just kidding. so finally we did find several pumpkins left at superK for $2.88. can you believe that? wow! perseverance never fails to bring destiny. i just made that up; i'm not sure if it makes sense actually. forgive me, it's 2.40am and i should really hit the hay for some beauty rest. i intended to finish my homework due friday and stay on top of some other reading material; obviously, i'm in denial, forgetting my mastery in the art of procrastination. this is just a prime example....
