seafoam green
a man from the st. anthony's foundation came to the house today to pick up most of the items that were left in tucker's room. the couple of furniture items that he couldn't use we put out on the sidewalk. emily is coming the day after tomorrow to paint the room. she doesn't like seafoam green, but she's going to leave one square of the color in tact and place a picture frame over it, in memoriam. i took this self portrait in the room while i was waiting for the pick-up guy to arrive. i'm going to miss the color and everything else about tucker's space.
so, i can't have lupo. first of all, leah is not a dog person and says she will have to be convinced that the certain dog is the right one beforehand. also, she and emily both feel that the house is in too much transition right now for a dog to enter. i actually agree with this, it's just hard to let go of this particular dog that i've basically fallen in love with. i am planning to volunteer at the shelter for a while and take my time over the next few months finding another dog that i feel is perfect for me, and also giving emily time to settle in and leah to get used to the idea (i.e. time for me to convince her that a dog would be an amazing thing for me AND the house). i want to walk a dog every day. i want to cuddle with a dog every night. i told nikki about doggie plans tonight and she said "you want to date someone who doesn't talk." funny thing is, i kind of already am... but maybe livejournal is not the place for talking about that.
i am so obsessed with neko case. you know, it's funny: when i was in junior high and really getting into music for the first time, i love almost everything and when someone asked me what kind of music i liked, i would say "everything except rap and country!" i think this answer is pretty common. but now, i basically only listen to rap or country. there's really nothing better than a pervy jam or a country song done right.
