chris got home around 4:30 yesterday afternoon!! yeayuh! he took me out to Pig in a Poke, a local bbq place-yummmMMM! [[i wish i'd worn a dress and my cowboy boots]] we procured a movie at a closing video store, and unsuccessfully tried to get chris' hairs cut- i offered to cut it but i need a razor comb, especially for boy hairs. when we got home, all full of bbqs, we smoked hookah! mmmMMM twas honey and apple flavoured [[hee hee, "u" makes me all cultured in appearances]] ! last night was the first time i've tried hookah and i Like It. it seems like a nice vice- not something i'd need or want to do extremely often- but nice for a quiet, restful evening at home or with friends. plus it makes the house smell Delectable!! and blowing smoke bubbles is amazing!! you pop them and they turn to mist! i'm still mystified! [[ohhhh pun not intended but wholly welcomed]] chris was definitely the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland last night. it still smells like honey in here!! :D

last night around 1 am i woke up from a nightmare that lasted Forever! it ended with me pulling my mom by the hand as we ran out of a huge house, down stairs next to which my grandma and another member of my family were hanging upside down by their feet..like pigs in a slaughterhouse.. my entire family had been tortured and cannibalized for hours... then i woke up, laid in bed for about a half an hour freaked out and paranoid and thinking about all the real horrors of the world, and how isolated chris' place really is.. then i finally calmed down, got up my nerve, and checked all the doors and windows-twice. no more beer and hookah so close to bedtimes maybe?? then all my other worries crept in and i laid awake until around 3.. i'm pretty sure i messed up chris' sleep too.

i'm headed off to shower soon, and after i shower i'm going to sew a little pillow for karima! i'll leave the 4th corner unsewn so i can stuff lavender and hopefully some sandalwood and lemongrass scented things into it-i'll have to see what the stores around here have-or hopefully chris will make a stop in lex on our way back to cinci. for the rest of the stuffing in the pillow i'm using plastic grocery bags-they're my favorite thing to stuff other fings with! i made a little grocery bag stuffed squirrel with a needle for a mouth a year or so ago at MurMur [[i think that's how twas written]] my friends' old art place. i also sewed a bikini top and gladiator skirt/belt thing out of playing cards-that was a fun day!

well, off to play in the suds!
