Sunday Stuff

Marissa, I'm not ignoring you. It's just that I've done the random facts meme twice now, and I don't really have that many random facts--unless you want me to start giving too much info. (See my answers here--I can only find one of them, but I know I've done it twice.)

Tobin, the funniest guy in the NEOMFA (and perhaps the most photogenic), has a blog. Read it. You'll laugh.

The temp here might get above freezing today. I'm looking forward to that.

Today is my BFF's 1st wedding anniversary. Congrats Lindsay and Chad! This isn't a very good picture--but that's b/c I'm not a very good photographer. I'm still waiting for my copies from the wedding album.


And down here, a blast from the past. That's me and Lindsay in 7th grade, getting made up for glamour shots (aka - how to make 13-year-olds look like hookers). Seriously. We went to her grandparents' house after and her grandfather made us wash our faces as soon as we walked in. I don't know where the actual photos are, but as soon as I find them, I'll post them.

Yum-O

I hate when Rachel Ray says that. But here's the thing. I made a pot roast in the slow cooker today, and that's what I said. Yum-O.

I got the crock pot for my birthday last November. Today is the first time I used it. The last time I tried to make pot roast (almost 3 years ago), I did it in the oven, and the guy I was dating at the time said it was like shoe leather (he was right, but boyfriends should know that the only appropriate response to girlfriends' cooking is, you guessed it, yum-o). Anywho, the pot roast was not like shoe leather and I am very full and very happy.

Earlier today, I got to hang out with my friend, B., who lives in Washington, and the guys from sixth grade. (You saw their picture back in July) B was in town for his grandfather's funeral, so not an entirely happy occasion, but a nice surprise for me. I suppose this is part of growing up...that the only time you see old friends is weddings, funerals, and class reunions. Bummer.

I'm glad it's the weekend, but this is going to be a busy one. Soooo much to do!

The view from here

You can ignore my butterfly and check out the friggin awesome sunset behind it. This was on Friday night while I was on my way back to Chatham (my home town) to hang out with a bunch of people I've known since elementary school, for the most part. Everyone except the other girl in the picture below were in the same 6th grade class, actually.



Mrs. Wandall would be so proud...


There's something about people who've known you since before puberty. Doesn't matter how much time passes between, we always pick up where we left off...acting like assholes and making fun of each other about embarrassing things from our past. But I always walk away smiling.


By the way--I'm done working! Hello, summer vacation!
