indigo's birthday party is done, and so is our unpacking and arranging for the most part. there are a few boxes of misc things in the basement; if we don't come looking for the items they contain before september, they will be gotten rid of!
chris and i made indigo's birthday cake. I have never baked before and it turned out really well. vegan cupcakes take over the world gave us a really good peanut butter cream frosting recipe that i would have easily paid $5 to taste in a vegan restaurant. i feel more excited about eating good food at home and less interested in visiting "x" vegan restaurant in other cities. although, chris and i will have to dine at millennium eventually. i don't think I'll ever be so ambitious about cooking to make food as delicious as they do. there are too many other things to become skilled at.
i may post pictures of the party/apartment soon, although i know my camera cord is in one of the said misc boxes of the basement. also, there might be a ghost living here? i've been alone for the past few hours and have heard a door slam three times. i look around, and all doors i've closed are closed and all open remain so.
i can see a catalpa tree breaching the horizon of houses across the street from where i sit. it looks distant and unlikely and i like it. i'll have to photograph and share it soon. in the mean time,
