This is the first weekend in...well...since I met Steven that I've been completely on my own.  He is in St. Louis for a beer festival with his roommate, which leaves me trying to remember just what exactly I did with my free time before I met him.

For today, I slept in til noon, did some online shopping at Sephora, went to Target, bought Athena ( Read more... )

Love is buying a tent, a two-person sleeping bag, and two lanterns when the thought of spending a whole weekend without running water, your cat, and tivo sends a cold shiver down your spine.

The cruise was spectacular.  Thanks to

I was going to wait to post about the Birthday Tattoo Adventure until my brother wrote about it, as his narratives are much more entertaining than mine.  But I figured that I had better write it down while it's fresh in my mind...plus, I have an hour to kill before we head out to Philly.

I just opened my very first bottle of wine from the case I brought back from PA.  It only took me 5 minutes to figure out how the Ikea corkscrew worked.  It seemed like a good idea, but it's *really* not helping the wave of horniness that washed over me once the condo emptied out...

I got a package this afternoon.  I didn't recognize the return address, and I wasn't expecting anything.  It turns out that my dad had found a replacement for the Paul Konerko bobblehead (from a Sox game giveaway THREE years ago!) that was wounded in action during the furniture moving.  At first I felt bad thinking that he could possibly think that ( Read more... )

Well, I'm back in town after a week back home.

My trip to PA was surprisingly busy and entertaining.  I went to Philadelphia one day--spent the day shopping with my mom and aunt and met up with my brother and his friend for dinner at an awesome little Italian place.  Penne with crap meat...yum! :)

We also discovered a spectacular strain of sweet ( Read more... )
