i live in a wood house. yup, that's right. i think all the walls in the maxi pad are wood and not drywall. even the ceiling. isn't that strange? joanna and michelle dropped by to see the place and each gave me a housewarming gift. that was nice of them. i got paint brushes from joanna and hand-made dishcloths from michelle. melissa gave me this really funny/cute welcome mat yesterday.
i swear i spent an hour looking for my hammer today. i have NO idea how it ended up in that closet with those bags of clothes.
well anyway, today at work i was given a jug by one of our v.p.'s because several months ago i made some business cards for his wife. she's a potter so she sent it with him to thank me. i really like it. its very nice and sentimental.
i've reached an interesting stage of life. i have friends in their mid-thirties and i have friends in their early 20s. i like that i feel comfortable meshing with such a diverse group. i guess that's normal as you get older, but its new for me. joy's coming over to help me tear out the wallpaper in my bathroom tomorrow night. i'm looking forward to that. as much as we've become friends over the last 2 years we never hang out just the two of us. she's going a little crazy the last few days being a stay-at-home mom and needs some time out of the house.
i really shouldn't scratch my eyes when they're itchy but it just feels so damn good. i can't help myself, i almost want to tearing them out and giving them a good rub down. but that's gross. and creepy. i can't believe i even said that.
i quite like our summer student. her name is tiffani and she's 21. i hope will be able to be friends, we chat quite easily. i appreciate having her around especially because i've been missing april already. i hope she finds a job soon.
so did anyone else notice they played metric on gray's anatomy on sunday? it was trippy. that's my favourite song on that album and when it started i almost sat up to look and see if my stereo had just turned on or something. it was surprising!
oh so i think i'm going to post-pone my housewarming shinding to the 14th or whatever the sunday after next is. i know, i told you yesterday that we were on for this week, but i've got some valid reasons. first of all, my mom is getting back from england on friday and wants to have sunday lunch. secondly, i decided to have it early so that my friends who are students could see it before they went away, but really who's still here who won't be the next week? thirdly, i don't have time to bake or have anything ready to serve. fourthly, the house will be more settled by then. HOWEVER, the downside is that everyone will probably drop by before then thus defeating the purpose of this get together in the first place.
i think i like my neighbours below me. i haven't had much interaction with them but i like that i can hear them, which makes me feel better if they can hear me. actually, i could listen to their conversations in my bathroom when they're in their kitchen if i wanted to. i said COULD not HAVE.
if you a get the feeling that its time you see me
do me a favor and let me know
'cause it's hard to tell
it's hard to say oh well, okay

I like that you find the sounds of your neighbours comforting. I like to be comfortable as you might already know...it makes me feel at home.
Does your place feel like home yet?
in some ways it really does feel like home because all my furniture is from my childhood. although, there's still an element of unfamilarity. its growing on me.
what's up with the handicap symbol under the word verification thing??
hmmm..intriguing.
i just clicked on it.
it is actually a link that tells you the letters and you have to type them.
that's odd. if you're able to visiting this blog, why would you need assistance to read that word? weird. it reminds me of the time my mom met a blind man on the internet. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?!
ah crap, i didn't mean to exclude my friends who don't fit in the 20 to 35 year range. al... you're my friend. and so is little matt binnington. sorry guys and others, i didn't mean to slight anyone. don't feel slighted. please for the love of pete!!
Lesley, I'm sorry to say that I can completely agree with your itchy eyeball comments. For the first time in my life I'm experiencing seasonal allergies and it chomps. Big time. I even went to the doctor because I thought it had to be pink eye! He told me to get some drops and gave me a new inhaler prescription. About the itching...my mom says no matter how badly you want to touch your eyes you absolutely must not and that you have to control the itching with your mind. It gets kinda yoda-ish after that which is really not like my mother and was strange coming from her, but in an odd way makes sense. Needless to say, I still steal a scratch every now and again. I feel for ya!
good advise, thanx sarah. touch my eye i won't ;)
