i’m starting to feel lots of PRESSURE from randy, because last night he said to me “i kept checking your website and you didn’t write AT ALL.” whew, i need to be much more vigilant…but on the other hand, i was VERY VERY BUSY.
and am going to be much more so.
first, i’m definitely moving. perhaps tomorrow. this seems pretty quick and i’m slightly freaked out because right now i don’t even have any boxes to put stuff into. i need a few boxes. more than three.
erica told me to call barnes & noble because they have lots of boxes, which makes sense. she used to work there and knows people there and told me to call and ask for some guy named brad.
erica and i had dinner at the new vietnamese restaurant last night, little saigon, and i love that place. then, for true excitement, we went to target. i looked at curtains, because my new place has nine big windows and no window coverings at all. curtains are kind of pricey, especially at target. i’m going to look some other places today.
but first i need to sign the lease, to make it actually real and official.
many things to do today.
must get boxes.
also, last night i booked my FLIGHT TO LA! i’m leaving march 20th and i’ll be gone for 12 days and i’m quite excited about this, too. jerri called me on sunday afternoon to tell me that they’re going to NYC again, and do i want to stay at their place still and i said YES I DO!
tickets to LA right now are very cheap.
there are many things i want to do and see there.
so right now i have to confess that i have the painfully slow dial-up to access the internet. when i get my new place, though, i’ll be truly wireless and high speed and i’m going to spend the entire summer sitting on the porch writing and hanging out. except for when i have to go work, but mostly i’ll be sitting on my porch.
i don’t think i’ve told you about my great entrepreneurial plan, have i? i’ll be on a pretty well-trafficked street, so i’m going to have a lemonade stand, and i’ll also sell chocolate chip cookies. i think i could make quite a tidy profit.
yeah, i’m always thinking about ways to get even more wealthy.
actually, one summer during high school i did have a cookie stand, at the farmer’s market downtown. my boyfriend chris and i made dozens and dozens of cookies – chocolate chip, oatmeal, and peanut butter – and sold them out of the back of my yellow volkswagon rabbit. i remember that it was a whole lot of fun. i can’t say if we made any kind of profit at all then because at the time i was even worse about making money than i am now. chris got me a great deal on a display-model Cuisinart mixer and i used it for all those cookies and i still have that mixer so many years later. i need to be a cuisinart spokesperson i think, because it’s the best mixer made. i mean, i’ve dropped the thing on the floor more than once, because i’ve walked away when mixing bread dough, and yet it still keeps right on chugging away.
try not to drop your mixer on the floor, though, because it’s very very heavy and not so good for the floor.
that’s all my words of wisdom for tuesday morning. i must get out of bed because TIME’S A WASTIN’! and i have many many things ahead of me today, plus tomorrow, etc etc etc.
ok then,
tuesday morning grace.
(ironically, that’s where i’ll be headed today, to the store tuesday morning. a fairly dumb name for a store, isn’t it?)
