today the glitterbomber is... |
2003-06-08 i am avoiding doing work. i got a break from it yesterday, but of course i feel guilty for not having done anything. i have a box full of tests to score and enter into a spreadsheet for a study i�m working on as a part-time job. all the tests have to be finished by the 22nd, so i�m more than a little stressed. they�ll all get done, right? it was a lovely weekend. i got home from work on friday to find my boy� sitting on my doorstep (he forgot his key). i wish i could come home to that every day. after some lovin� and a yummy dinner (sunny�s chicken fettuccine with garlic alfredo sauce), we went down to the arts festival. we checked out some of the artists� booths. i wanted to buy some photography, but the prices were a little high for me. besides, no one piece jumped out at me enough to make me want to take it home. maybe i�ll find something from one of the new artists when they rotate. actually, it may be just as well if i don�t buy anything. my walls are quite full of art already. the boy� and i had a big fight friday night/saturday morning. the details aren�t necessary, but i was angry enough at him that i wouldn�t sleep in the same bed as him. we worked things out saturday morning, and the rest of the weekend was fabulous. talking about our issues is very difficult for both of us, but i�m glad that we�re learning how to communicate better. yesterday was a day for running errands. i needed a few things for my apartment, and bill--oops, i mean my boy�--needed some shelves for his new office, so it was off to ikea after a very late breakfast (okay, more like lunch. it was one PM). we hit a bunch of other stores, too, but it was mostly browsing. when we got to the bookstore, i headed straight to the travel section, and we looked at books about montreal. we�d talked about going before, and looking at the books sealed it for us. we made a hotel reservation today for the beginning of next month. i�m so excited about it. i�ve never been, though the boy� was there a long time ago. i�m going to brush up on my french. we got wings for dinner last night, and both of us remarked that we�d never expected to be eating wings together. i assumed that they weren�t his thing, and he assumed i didn�t eat them because i don�t eat much meat. it�s funny how we keep discovering things like that about each other. we rented secretary. i thought i would like it a lot more, but i did enjoy it a lot. today, we went back to the arts festival since it was so nice out. we attempted to get ice cream, too. i say �attempted� because it was extremely melty, and we had to eat it fast so we wouldn�t make too much of a mess. i cried buckets when it was time for him to make the drive home. it�ll be almost another two weeks before we can see each other again. i really really really can�t wait until we live together. |
