gift.

a few weeks ago i ordered a custom pendant for josh from Dragon Weave Jewelry. it is a Japanese Kanji symbol for Shadow, in loving memory of josh's beloved dog. [significance of "Kanji" symbol - we both have tattoos using these symbols - mine is on my ankle, meaning "Grace" (my middle name), he has two on his arms, and no, we didn't get any of these together :)]. well...it came in the mail yesterday! i was pretty pumped, so i told josh i kinda HAD to see him yesterday night [throwing all sorts of crazy thoughts into his mind i'm sure :)]. anyway, he somehow guessed what i had to give him was jewelry [he knows me so well!], though i of course told him it wasn't.

all in all i believe he likes it, and i'm very happy with how it came out! i got a leather rope-necklace for it to go on.

yesterday rach called me as i was on my way home saying she wanted to go out to dinner. i'm always up for a spontaneous go-out-to-eat, so i heartily agreed. we decided upon Cracker Barrel [unanimously], where we ordered the same thing and said the same things all night. i also tipped the same as her. it's funny...i forget how similar my sissy and i are sometimes :)

i'm excited for the office tonight, and i'm making cupcakes later. i have to go to a few stores after work...it's going to be a busy couple days!!!
