have you ever just wanted to avoid every other human being on the planet? yeah, that was pretty much my weekend, starting with thursday night when i realized that i’d totally forgotten that i needed to make chili for the upstairs potluck.
friday started out with a huge case of the mean reds and i couldn’t pull myself out of them to save my life. i warned christopher, but he still seemed to want to spend time with me, so i picked him up after work and subjected him to my stinky, boring crabbiness for most of the weekend. oddly, i didn’t once want to kill him. considering i wanted to kill, or at least maim, everyone else i’ve ever known, that’s a pretty huge accomplishment. although, i wouldn’t have minded swatting him upside the head. just once. not even hard. more like a love-swat. upside the head.
really, there wasn’t much going on, which was fine by me. i ditched the boyfriend saturday afternoon to go home and clean. i even managed to cross two things off my long-term to-do list, which was awesome. sunday, i got up early, went to the grocery store and spent all my money on baking supplies and came home to start baking. i managed to get a double-batch of ginger cookies, a batch-and-a-half of butter tarts and one pan of nanaimo bars done. tonight, i’ll attempt to get the biscotti done. that just leaves mint chocolate chip cookies, and i can do that on tuesday, unless i feel like staying up late tonight.
since the new couch arrived, i don’t want to go out. i want to stay at home. it’s my favourite place to be. it’s comfy and i know that the coffee is always good and what’s on the menu. plus, depending on the company (or lack thereof), it can totally be a pants-free zone. it’s probably got less to do with the new decor than the fact it’s december, dark all the time and colder than i got used to. by the time i get off work, there’s no light to shoot with, so why not go home and hang out and watch movies and… oh my god, i’m totally craving pizza RIGHT NOW. sorry. my lunch was crap, so i’m a little bit on the starving side right now. i should go see if i can go scam a snack from upstairs. mm, snack.
