chris and i completed phase one of cleaning my apartment yesterday! i'm guessing it is going to be in four phases-with the fourth being packing shiza up to be moved. or maybe packing will be the fifth phase and the fourth will be donating tons O' stuffs to goodwill.. either way i am looking forward to having a non-frat-esque apartment! it already looks a lot better thanks to chris!

i am in eky in chris' apartamente right now. i just did his dishes and i am going to take a shower soon and head to walmart perhaps... or i won't.. but showering is a must. yesterday was hot and sweaty- i had a sweaty forehead just walking from kohl's to the car with chris' family. it was icky outside.. for me summer is all about the gloaming and eventides.

thursday i went and visited my jenbot and carly in lex!!!! jenbot made bacon and coffee just like old times. we took carly to the park and jenbot and i caught up on each other's lives. we tried to go out to see a bluegrass show at buster's that was only $6, we were hoping for some impromtu dancing opportunities! however we ended up getting lost behind a creepy industrial looking building where two steven segal russian villian-type men tried to flag us down! i told jen, "don't you fucking stop!!" and we sped by at a fast clip [25 miles per hour, hah] we ended up at Common Grounds sipping tea [me] and white hot chocolate [jen] and mounching on giant chocolate chip muffins!!! mmmMMM!!!! besides the pretentious sophomoric conversation at the counter behind us it was groodtimes!

i need to do a lot of things that are scaring me-like looking for a job. pretty much just looking for a job. mostly i have the caterpillar response to fear and danger- i curl up in a little ball and wait for the world to be less confusing. unfortunately that approach doesn't work with this situation. le sigh. off to shower and then put away laundry and probably read a book-because none of those things involve leaving the house.

so after my shower i felt a bit more brave and ventured out to pick up some steaks and marinade to surprise chris with a yummy dinner when he gets home from work! i like to make my own marinades and experiment-but i don't know what chris likes as far as steak goes.. he was a vegetarian for a while until fairly recently, so...hah. we'll see. he eats chicken and pork-so i'm hoping steak as well :] right now some potatoes are baking- im going to put the steaks under the broiler-alack, chris hath no grill.. i just saw on facebook that karima is having a cookout at her new place sunday- i guess grilled meat is on all of our minds! i think i'm going to bring a whole bunch of corn on the cob and other veggies to grill and share at karima's party! and some rootbeer and pbr! yumm! i was going to try and stop drinking pop in all its forms, yet for whatever reason coke and rootbeer say Summer to me-damn childhood habits! hee hee!
