recent, random eventful days
Hmmm. It's been awhile since I posted, no? I've had a few entries in my mental blogging queue, and I considered posting on Saturday (the 'luckiest day in a century') because a month would have elapsed between posts.
Uh, what did I do on Saturday evening, anyway? ::looks at calendar:: Oh, right. I ate some goat cheese while starting to soak the bulghur, took a nap, then made a very-much-local tabouli. I have never made bulghur before, and I bought that from the co-op (did I mention that I am now a member of Weaver's Way Co-op?); the salt, olive oil, and lemon were also not locally produced but bought from local businesses. Otherwise -- the parsley was from Beechwood Orchards, the heirloom tomatoes (Cherokee Purple and Stripey) and green pepper were from the Rineer farm, the cucumber and carrots and some of the scallions were from J&K's CSA share, and the spring garlic was bought at the Farmstand. Cool! :)
Anyway. Saturday, 07/07/07. It wasn't the luckiest day ever for me, as far as I know. But I keep intending to blog about a couple weeks ago, because while it wasn't the luckiest week, it was eventful! It felt like sometimes events happened in pairs...
On that Sunday, three Sundays ago by now, I waited tables for the first time. I worked a Sunday brunch shift at a steadfastly-informal restaurant blessed with a name that reminded me of D&D and a beautiful location on Lombard St. I also got stood up. (Well, effectively. Someone cancelled plans we'd had for a week because he claimed to be too hung over from partying the previous night.) Instead, I went to see Ocean's 13 with Mali and grumpy_sysadmin.
That Tuesday, I received my second injection of the Gardasil vaccine. I didn't almost-faint this time, YAY!
On Wednesday, tanglethis and I went out. We enjoyed gelatto amid the heat (I chose Butterscotch Bourbon and Turkish Coffee), then we took refuge from the rain on the 'rooftop' of the Continental Midtown (I ordered my favorite 'Hawaii 5-O', vanilla vodka, triple sec, lime and pineapple). On Thursday, there were two awesome callers at the contra, and they even did some singing squares!
Friday afternoon, I had coffee with Mali at the Green Line, and Saturday afternoon, I drove to Lebanon to visit my relatives. Et cetera. That was a week's worth of ways I overscheduled myself...
Please note the 'random' tag on this entry, and pardon my scatteredness!
