taking a trip in the way back machine

 The past few days I've been reading some old journals from my past. 1986 - 199 roughly. And a couple of 1991 entries. It's enlightening, embarrassing and ...well mostly embarrassing lol. I was such a child and I had no real social skills to speak of.

Jersey Boys

So we went with my mom and saw Jersey Boys tonight and it was fantastic. Excellent music. Interesting story. Phenomenal singing.

Beforehand we went to a new restaurant (for us) O Sushi in Dearborn on Michigan Ave.We had our usual - some red snapper, salmon and white tuna nigiri, spicy tuna maki and unagi maki. We also had 2 of their special rolls - Chicago roll which was spicy tuna and salmon with scallion and the Devil Kiss roll which was shrimp tempura with tuna, salmon, cucumber and spicy sauce. Oh! and Miso soup. All the rolls were fantastic and the soup was delicious. And while we were there they gave us a free mussel appetizer that was frigging AWESOME! I would definitely order it next time. And there will be a next time cuz we got a voucher for a free roll for the next time we dine in. yay!

I don't know if I'm sick or depressed ....

But I spent 17 hours sleeping last night/today. I fell asleep on the couch for about an hour at around 2AM. Woke up and putzed around before heading upstairs to bed and fell asleep around 3:30AM. Woke up briefly during the day for 15 minute increments but never left the bed until just after 8PM!!!! I know yesterday I was feeling crappy (it's that time of the month - plus i had a sore throat and my allergies were kicking in high gear) but I also know that when i'm depressed - and the whole saying goodbye to our childhood house HAS left me kinda depressed - I don't want to do much of anything but sleep. Combine that with all the money stress we're feeling lately and I just don't know.

But tomorrow night is Jersey Boys w/ my mom!!!! Dinner and a show - it doesn't get much better than that!! AND we know someone who is doing makeup so we might get a backstage tour tomorrow after the show!!! SO EXCITED!!!!! Merry Xmas to us!!!

So much for blog365

I guess I'll try blog334 lol (since I've missed most of January)

Things got a little crazy here for a quick minute. See, hubby and I are having major financial issues right now. In trying to juggle xmas gift giving and bill payments I ended up pissing off DTE by being about 10 days late in our payment and they sent us a shutoff notice around Dec 20th that we were going to be shut off by the 30th unless we paid our ENTIRE back due of almost $800!!! So we tried calling many numbers but they were all closed for the holidays or couldn't get us in before the end of the year. We thought we were screwed but hubby finally got someone at DTE Case management and they worked out a plan for us as long as we paid by Jan 4th. We thought we were in the clear. Turns out we were wrong.
