i like that sometimes things just suddenly click. that's what we've been waiting for, needing. last night, after my latest blog entry, brendan and i had the best evening together since we returned from cambodia. funny that after i decided to document the bumpy transition on the internet we finally turned a corner and are back into our regular groove. i really really enjoyed my time with him and it makes me feel so happy! we did our banking and made bread together in our new bread maker. when we sat down for dinner the doorbell rang unexpectedly, so brendan's best friend robb joined us around the table.
for many years i would lie awake in bed thinking about my osap loan. dreaming about paying it off. i lied in bed while brendan watched john mayer clips on the internet. i rambled to him about if we save this much, and that much, and combine it with whatever, we'll have such and such saved within 2 years for a downpayment on a house! heehee. i think it's funny that i've got a new financial goal to work towards. it's super important to me that we save a lot because i want to have low monthly payments. not unbelievably low, but it would be nice if our mortgage was around how much we currently pay for rent.
all us girls from book club gathered at rach g's place last night. we drank some kind of blueberry alcohol out of a pop bottle and shared some laughs and stories. i love those girls. i'm so glad that we get together so often. it's true that we don't get a lot of reading done, but it's the gathering together part that's so great. i like the rhythm of it and their good natures and positive energy.
it's amazing how much easier it is to keep a house tidy when it's tidy. i feel so much more motivated. this morning i peaked out on the balcony is see a trashbag full of dirt that has been sitting there since i planted my garden in may. i suddenly felt super motivated to gather it up and toss it to the curb before the garbage truck came by. i rushed around in my nighty, dragging this heavy filthy bag around - it slowly rubbing it's dirt on my leg as i walked. as i came down my back stairs i hear the truck drawing nearer so i rushed and dashed down the path to the curb. feeling a great deal satisfied with myself i dumped it beside the recycling and brushed my hands clean.
i also did laundry! what a good start to the day :)

and the joys that they can bring
and i'll share them all for a cup of coffee
and to wear your ring.
