BBQ and babies
Afternoon- BBQ @ Independence Grove w/ random appearances: most notably a drunk Paddy; head chef(s) Laura and Zowolski; some drunk guy (whose name i don't know) laying on the grass; Blake (w/ the potato salad) and Michele; Danice (who's back from Milwaukee for the rest of the summer which basically means we now have an itinerary for the grand total of two weeks i have left here); the "added cult members" i.e. Nustra, Swartz, etc.; the Verneys; Adam...enough said (though he did tell me that i should just try teaching myself to play guitar because apparantly that is more effective than being taught by someone else) and Quintin (who confessed to me, and i to him that the only reason we come is to play v-ball...which we did) but after awhile it got to be just Danice and I playing an incredible game of v-ball w/ just the two of us (damn we're good) while talking about everywhere we want to live/ travel abroad (pref. backpacking through europe, doing the whole youth hostel thing) ... oh and i got called "Fish"...haven't been called that since oooh i think it was sixth grade, in orchestra...by joey morales while playing the viola...imagine that.
Later that afternoon/night....Nel and Rosie picked me up to go babysit at Roberta's in Glenview (just for the record...these people have a tennis court AND a pool in their backyard...nice.) ...turned out to be an incredible nanny type experience...pic. us with 7 children (one of which is a 4 month old and another is 2 year old...Flynn, who turned out to be my little boyfriend cuz we were inseperable for the rest of the night)...most unfortunatley however, while "baking brownies" in the playhouse i got stung by a bee...there's a first time for everything right? Anyhow it was fun..nellie mostly took care of the baby (cuz it smelled like milk..but hey it was cute)but then we sorta traded and i got to hold him...awww...yeaaaaaa.
and then i found ten dollars.
