I miss vacation.   People who claim to want to go back to school are liars.  But its already Thursday, so by the time I start school I only have one day before the weekend!  And, maybe because we have not seen each other in 3 weeks, we are going to try to squeeze all things new in joyous into a short time period.  For starters on Friday:

We will work out:

I am addicted to working out, I love it so much.  I have tried to get Joachim to go with me, but he is not enthused and usually just sorta walks about while I run and run and run.  BUT! With a new decade comes a new outlook and a new Adidas uniform! Joachim's dad outfitted him while he was in Malaysia in all new and cool sports garb.  Incentive to work out! Now while I run and run and run, Joachim won't paddle about in jeans! And even better, he PESTERS me to go and IS LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!

We are going to cook:

I suggested sauteeded mushrooms and tomatoes.  Joachim wanted to throw in an egg a well, as eggs are his calling.  For good measure I will ak my aiyi too make some tofu, for good measure. And I also have some nice red pears, I found them on a scavenge through the fridge.  So ... a pear dessert?  All, naturally, with Sprite and tea

We are going to watch the O.C. and Stargate:

(Sorry Stargate fans, but the people in the O.C. are prettier than Daniel Jackson. Joachim: Well.. Daniel Jackson is a genius!!!)  Joachim is an addict to Gossip Girl, and I told him that Gossip Girl holds nothing to the O.C. While the clothes and colors of gossip girl are prettier and more fun to look at, the O.C. has the better characters and the writing and episodes are just better.  However, Joachim and I made a deal.  If I watch Stargate, then he will watch the O.C.  So on Friday, we will watch one episode of each.

Oh yeah, and on Saturday? We are seeing Avatar in the IMAX, the week it opens in China.
