butterfingers is easy
lesseee...
what is going on.
im supposed to visit florida next month. i will see my dad and my niece and hopefully ren, to see her show at the university. NOT looking forward to the airport bits. but florida shall be delightfully warm! maybe i will go to the BEEEEEEEEACH.
work is driving me crazy...im trying to stop at one location as it is just not worth it to work there anymore. which is too bad, the people are nice there, they like me.
i just feel...i dont know. it took a lot of thinking and feelings for me to say, you know, i will just not do it anymore. it was angst city for a bit, i wondered if i was just no good at what i was doing but its totally not that. i talked to lots of people and got lots of opinions, i thought about it and i made a decision. hopefully it will all be done by the end of this month.
i want to go upstate and i tried but it sort of didnt work-tho on the upside i got a saturday off, so it was wonderful to hang out with d. we went to the botanical gardens and spent most of the time in the conservatory, collecting seeds and taking our time to enjoy all the plants. there was a wonderful collection of bonsai so i learned more about it than i knew before. and yes, bonsai are much cooler than you think. and and they showed you how you could sort of create your own, or at least get started.
and they have this great exhibit now with japanese chrysanthemums-they sort of espaliere them which is really cool. it was especially cool to me that that method was something that is actually common to do in different cultures (i saw espaliered trees at the cloisters)-and i wondered if it was cross cultural, or if different countries just did this on their own (amazn). it was so relaxing and so nice to spend the day that way. d. got me a lotus seed pod.
so we have mice. d. is NOT happy about it at all. he says its embarrassing. i am prolly the only person who doesnt mind them. personally i think if the guys would try for less mess they wouldnt even be here. i put on the movie ratatouille for us to watch one morning in honor of the new furry roommates, and two teeny mice suddenly darted out, chased each other into a.'s room and danced back out to come at us and go under the couch. that was pretty funny.
its actually many stories involving the mice-one night after i retired the guys were up and. mice shenanigans. i. almost caught one, but the mouse darted under his feet to hide in his shadow...long story short. the guys stayed up that night-you guessed it, creating a better mousetrap. i was impressed. somehow, one mouse got into the hanging basket thing where we keep garlic and beans. HOW did that mouse get up there?!
we have caught five so far.
i vote for borrowing r.'s cat, hopper, to catch them. but only cuz i want a cat in the house.
myeh. dun want to go to work today. i cant remember anything else for now.
a. makes the most. delicious. scones. i have EVER eaten.
we made beef stew the other day. i have NEVER had homemade beef stew.
a. made chili, and i got to have a bowl without beans, the way i likes it.
d. made this weird thing, like eggie in a basket, baked an egg in homemade bread.
and a baked apple with french toast stuffing, where the core had been. i had never had a baked apple before, let me tell you, its the most delicious thing. oh em geeeee.
ooh. i could go for one of those right now.
im gonna get as fat as a pet pony. fabulus! :p
