i haven't had a tootsie roll in years, but i could go for one right now. good thing it's nearly halloween.
the problem that i have with may projects, whether knitting or decorating, is that i'm so excited for the finished product that i rush and sometimes don't pace myself enough. it's like i'm running to stand still. i'm very excited about getting set-up at the exile that i almost started rearranging things at the maxipad last night. thankfully b was able to divert me by pointing out that the slopped floors will not support the tall shelf unit (it would tilt over) and i should just wait til we move. so i conceeded. i have a month and a half to mentally prepare myself to walk instead of run.
i haven't told you yet about brendan't birthday adventure! well...
• without telling b, i took the day off from work. i got up in the morning when my alarm went off as usual. when he got up i told him that i wasn't going to work. he was still sleepy so was confused and thought i was sick or something.
• i cooked him breakfast
• he went to school in the morning for a test and i picked him up at 11
• for his birthday i gave him a wooden shoe polishing kit. he was really puzzled at first because he had no idea what it was! so i showed him where the shoe goes and he was extremely delighted. he got his shoes and started polishing them right away.
• went to the chien noir for lunch
• bought a house (signed the final paperwork to make it official)
• then went bowling! (btw: each activity was a surprise, i'd just tell him where we were going next)
• when we got to cloverleaf there was some kind of senior's bowling league playing so we played two rounds of pool until there was a lane available. b shot two great games, i had difficulty finding a ball weight that was suitable for me (they were all either too heavy or too light with small finger holes)
• then we watched bridesmaids (i'd picked up pumpkins to carve and roast the seeds while we watched the movie, but we ran out of time)
• we met up with a group of friends at the brew pub that evening and stayed quite late chatting with ben and josh.
