friday afternoon walk w/ henry + my sowebohemian poster

one year ago today

..i wrote about it here.

tim and sherry came for a visit today. we ate zellas and watched the junkies swarm. peter gave a driving tour and then we ate ice cream at sweet tooth. key lime [pie] is the yummiest.

it is too hot out to do anything except complain. i smell like a karate studio.

sleepy sunday

i am feeling delirious. we just ate cold chicken rico and watched the first two episodes of the wire. i think i saw michael phelps at sip and bite this morning. i also think having your first drink at 4 saturday afternoon ruins any chance at a productive sunday.

here are photos from this weekend of alice-cat, a cute house i want to live in, henry and his new friend, the stadium hid[e]away and some hot and delicious chicken rico.







i am too lazy to elaborate but must note that i:
enjoy pure michigan commercials and the fudgey german chocolate brownies from sweet tooth
just saw my first acid washed denim trench coat walking down arlington
do not intimidate dealers or junkies
recently learned lithuanian hall is home to a monthly hipster dance party ala funk night?
knew my mom was right.. i should call to follow up after sending out my resume + cover letter. i obviously lose
learned on saturday that lady pirates like to show boobs just as much as lady renaissance festival goers
have noticed an increase in graphic design job postings. this is encouraging. i think april is my month. or may.

ehhh

i've been feeling very antsy this week. it has been six months since i've been employed [minus three or so days i was a temp in my mom's office]. to be honest it feels more like three months. hopefully sometime very soon i'll look back and wish i had all the free time i have now. i have kept somewhat busy hemming thrift store dresses and vacuuming. and baking. and job hunting. things i won't do so much when i've got a job.

i made this lemon bread/cake today. it is yummy even though i used half whole wheat flour. trying to keep it healthy. ha. we have been planning and failing to run for about a month now. in the good old days [2003/04] we used to jog together on the weekend and even ran some road races. now we hit snooze a lot and get pudgy.

last weekend PCF#1 and joe visited from NY. it was lots of fun times.. joe made me really miss my lady friends. we took them to zella's, as per usual, and tried out the diner brekky at sip and bite. the hash browns were excellent. unfortunately eric ate scrapple. he didn't know what it was so the waitress brought out a giant brick of it. should have just left it a mystey. it tasted like mushy meat.. kind of what i imagine wet dog food would be. after we took a walking/driving tour of some baltimore highlights and ate at nak won for the third time in about four weeks. at night we played games and drank college style. can't wait to visit CA/NY.

this weekend the weather forecast is beauteous and i'm making peter go to the topiary gardens. and as many garage sales as he can stand.

- the guy who picks the lotto numbers on tv is a bro-dad. he makes me crack up. and his name is stash.
- this blog, bags in trees, is peter's favorite thing to mention to visitors, or anyone, really.
- haha.. detroit + iverson = fail
- i really love this blog. it really makes me wish i was a better writer.. and storyteller.. and baker

now i must watch the office

halloween, 80s style

my sister robin has posted some of our more memorable halloween costumes on facebook. minnie mouse was my favorite.. in '86 i was a cheese ball.. why was the chest freezer in the living room?

just now..

three people started conversations with me on our [henry + my] walk around the block. i'm pretty sure one person was drunk. one told me i was beautiful on the inside and one dresses her dog in outfits and holds her up to the mirror.

now more cover letter writing.
