just finished a three-hour dance and music craze with angela and garrett. we're nutty. i love staying here. :) earlier today, we watched monsters, inc, which had me weepy. so cool. everyone else was flocking to the lord of the rings. not me. not yet. but eventually.
oops. boy spilled yogurt on carpet. hurry, hurry, the clean-up crew is here! ha ha, no one will get that. that's okay. everything smells of strawberry. not very christmassy.
not like the three kinds of cheese i bought! smoked gouda, sliced jarlsberg, and sliced swedish farmers cheese. beam. and fresh baby spinach! and mushrooms! and bellpeppers! zuchini! mmmm! i can't wait to get to cook. aaaah. 'tis the season.
my mother sent me a x-mas box. home baked cookies--three kinds! and they all made it through the mail. swedish candy. a swedish magazine. and a secret gift to be opened on the 24th only. yey, a gift! also, garrett has bought me a secret gift from the dollar store. and i got a book certificate from angela and her husband!
i immediately got me talk pretty one day, by david sedaris, and the paperbook editions of neverwhere and good omens by neil gaiman (* and terry pratchett on the latter one)... must read again!
also, angela checked out fast food nation, i know this much is true by wally lamb (i loved she's come undone, so i have to give it a whirl. shrug.), and an isabelle allende book (since i loved paula so much). this will be the house that reading built for christmas.
as far as the wishy-washy situation, just nevermind that. saving face, saving face, saving face, back-peddle, back-peddle, back-peddle. the usual. oh well. cin cin! :) �� 8:44 p.m.
