what a great way to start the day! a boquet of tulips! if you know co-workers with gardens, compliment them on their flowers, you might just get some for yourself, too! they smell so lovely! every time i inhale i smile. this is going to be such a good thursday! i wish i had a camera so i could share them with you.
my dreams were a wild ride last night. in one, jason came back into town and we cleared up misunderstandings about why we haven’t seen each other in a year (but i had the suspicion that he was just looking for nookie). then meghan showed up and invited us both to new westminster to play cards. i thought for sure jay would decline but he was right up for it. next thing i knew we were at a rave in an old fabric store and meghan was parking cars out back to pay for our semi-illegal tickets. then i dreamt about this guy who’s replied to my personal ad on four different occasions.
wow, i just pulled a cat hair out of my shirt. one of meghan’s cat’s hairs. cool.
i’m still agog at completing my full-on cardio-fest last night. stop scoffing. not all of us can run marathons or be naturally thin. after fifteen minutes i thought “i can quit when i get to twenty minutes.” after twenty minutes i thought “okay, i can do five more.” after twenty-five minutes i thought “just… one… minute… more…” each minute until i’d gotten to thirty. i was sweaty and purple and exhausted. stretching has never felt so good. water never tasted so sweet. i must have been drunk on endorphins because i didn’t even mind the extra commute. when i got home i treated myself to pasta for dinner.
god, these flowers smell so good!
karen & i are going to see spider-man on sunday afternoon. at that point, i think we should discuss the possibility of us sharing an apartment. i have a lot of reservations about having a roommate, even if it is her. silly concerns like who owns the condiments in the fridge? do you buy them together or does each person have their own? who’s in charge of filling up the brita? what about tv? i don’t want the tv in my room, but who gets the right to veto? if it’s mine, i think i should. i’d appreciate any suggestions from those in the roommate know.
just take tons of condiments from fast food places ;) 50 packets of mcd’s ketchup comes in handy..if you dont mind tearing open 5 at a time
hah! i have a compartment full of soy & plum sauce packets in my fridge!
compromise, compromise, and compromise. having a roomate is good practice for marriage. :)
well, living with karen won’t be like living with randy, i can be sure! i’ve seen his housekeeping. ;)
we have shared milk, but i have my own mayo etc as who knows where a boy has put that knife before it went in there. You just have to try and get the balance right so if you both need your own space the otherone doesn’t get arsy that you don’t want to play.
My main housemate nightmare involved this girl waking me up at 10am AM on saturday monrings SATURDAYS so i didn’t miss the best part of the day. I am a student there is nothing past about 4am in my day. I didn’t want to play with her to watch the sabrina marathon and she got quite arsy against me after that.
oh one other thing, make some ground rules about boys and them sleeping over, cause if one of you falls madly inlove and ends up shagging very loudly 24 7 and moves said male in near enough, and HE starts eating all your fud that is when you have real problems.
in my college days, my roommates and i shared everything. after i graduated, moved, and got a new roommate, i thought it’d be the same; for a couple months, i kept the fridge/cabinets stocked (food/condiments/cleaning supplies, etc.). unfortunately he doesn’t do the same, which is kinda strange because he helps himself to all my stuff…
anyway, now i only buy enough for myself and only when i need it.
I brought Lilac’s into the house the other day, since our bush is in full bloom. I’m thrilled with how it looks – there are blossoms EVERYwhere, it’s huge, it’s gorgeous, I love looking at it. But. There is no scent. A lilac without its scent is like… a blind seeing-eye dog! It’s just wrong! :( But I finally found instructions for how to care for a lilac bush (we’ve been ignoring it for nearly 5 years – not quite high on the list ;)) so hopefully next year it’ll have great blossoms AND great smell (and hopefully we’ll be here to smell it!).
I’m still trying to figure out what a boquet is.
It’s what you stick your maup in!
