Pretty Great Sunday

Sunday March 18th.  Breakfast at Morning Glass, beach at From Here To Eternity, and then pizza and Star Wars for dinner.

Please Take It Away

Friday March 16th.  Every few years I upgrade to a smaller, sleeker computer and go through a simplification phase which leads to this; please take half the clothes from my closet.  Seriously, please.  I don't need anything from you in return, unless you want to spend a day hanging out at the beach, because I could use a beach pal.  You can just come and browse, it wont hurt my feelings if there is something that you don't want, I don't want it either.  It isn't bad stuff, I'm just bored of it and I don't wear it.  I don't actually have a whole lot of clothes and not everything is up for grabs, but lots is.  I don't know who you are, but my legs are shorter than yours, so you don't want my pants.  Come over this week, take what you want.  I'll make cookies for you to snack on while you try clothes on.

Lets Talk About Kissing

Sunday March 11th. Grocery shopping has become a social event around here. I feel like I run into someone I know most places that I go around town but this is even more so true at the market. I don't even know very many people.  On Sunday I didn't actually buy any groceries because Cody and Erica were outside eating pizza. Given the choice between buying food to nourish my body or spending time with these two I would choose them every time (something not to be taken lightly because I really do enjoy shopping for food). Still with me?  Here comes the kissing controversy. How do you feel about kissing non-significant others on the lips? I think its super sweet when parents kiss their kids on the lips and that lip kissing can be a perfectly acceptable greeting, but where do you draw the line? Erica is not a lip kisser. I suspect that she isn't even much of a hugger. Cody seemed supportive of lip kissing but he is for sure a hugger. This conversation escalated and led to explatives (the likes of which I will not repeat here) which drew in Carol; a delightful older woman with tight skin and a well maintained bob. Carol thinks lip kissing is sharing the aloha and we promptly kissed on the lips. We did not exchange numbers after and as of yet I haven't contracted any sort of lip fungus. So, is it okay to greet a friend with a kiss? A family member? A complete stranger? At what point are you becoming creepy? Cheating? Perhaps my kissing days are over, but I really do want to know what you think.

A Rainy Sunday

Sunday March 4th.  I have a thing for symmetry.  Our kitchen is anything but symmetrical.  When we moved in the refrigerator didn't work and had to be replaced, but the property managers didn't think to measure the spot that it fits in and ended up buying one that was too tall.  Because of this they had to move a cabinet to a completely random spot that straddles the kitchen and living room.  This actually has nothing to do with the fact that the oven isn't centered under the oven hood or the backsplash.  I don't understand the positioning of the backsplash at all actually.  Obviously we don't plan on staying here a long time and don't want to put money into a rental, so this is what we came up with.

Slow It Down

February 2012.  I recently mentioned my ongoing obsession with The Lumineers.  Since November I've had their song Slow It Down stuck in my head.  In January, Slow It Down by Larry And His Flask joined in and together they became a super song conglomerate running through my mind non stop.  I dealt with it by screen printing a poster.  More accurately, I designed the poster and held down the screen while Joe did all of the work, but at least I helped.

Happy Birthday

Tuesday February 21st.  Joe's birthday.
