i\u2019m starting to feel lots of PRESSURE from randy, because last night he said to me “i kept checking your website and you didn\u2019t write AT ALL.” whew, i need to be much more vigilant…but on the other hand, i was VERY VERY BUSY.<\/p>\n
and am going to be much more so.<\/p>\n
first, i\u2019m definitely moving. perhaps tomorrow. this seems pretty quick and i\u2019m slightly freaked out because right now i don\u2019t even have any boxes to put stuff into. i need a few boxes. more than three.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019m going to look some other places today.<\/p>\n
but first i need to sign the lease, to make it actually real and official.<\/p>\n
many things to do today.<\/p>\n
must get boxes.<\/p>\n
also, last night i booked my FLIGHT TO LA! i\u2019m leaving march 20th and i\u2019ll be gone for 12 days and i\u2019m quite excited about this, too. jerri called me on sunday afternoon to tell me that they\u2019re going to NYC again, and do i want to stay at their place still and i said YES I DO!<\/p>\n
tickets to LA right now are very cheap. <\/p>\n
there are many things i want to do and see there.<\/p>\n
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\u2019ll be truly wireless and high speed and i\u2019m 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\u2019ll be sitting on my porch.<\/p>\n
i don\u2019t think i\u2019ve told you about my great entrepreneurial plan, have i? i\u2019ll be on a pretty well-trafficked street, so i\u2019m going to have a lemonade stand, and i\u2019ll also sell chocolate chip cookies. i think i could make quite a tidy profit.<\/p>\n
yeah, i\u2019m always thinking about ways to get even more wealthy.<\/p>\n
actually, one summer during high school i did have a cookie stand, at the farmer\u2019s 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\u2019t 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\u2019s the best mixer made. i mean, i\u2019ve dropped the thing on the floor more than once, because i\u2019ve walked away when mixing bread dough, and yet it still keeps right on chugging away. <\/p>\n
try not to drop your mixer on the floor, though, because it\u2019s very very heavy and not so good for the floor.<\/p>\n
that\u2019s all my words of wisdom for tuesday morning. i must get out of bed because TIME\u2019S A WASTIN\u2019! and i have many many things ahead of me today, plus tomorrow, etc etc etc.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
tuesday morning grace.<\/p>\n
(ironically, that\u2019s where i\u2019ll be headed today, to the store tuesday morning. a fairly dumb name for a store, isn\u2019t it?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
