lots of eating, lots of fun.
friday eve:
-$5 haircut with tessa (still not sure if i like it, but haven't had much opportunity to wear it down)
-$3 dinner (french baguette and butter, half an apple)
-collecting seed packets at gain warehouse to be sent to zambia (totally purposeful and pretty fun hanging out with new friends while running around a table in competition to see who could collect the most the fastest while attempting to move stealthily around slower volunteers)
-maggie's house-sitting house (sitting amongst people i don't know while completely zoning out: not quite as priceless)
saturday eve:
-$50 dinner at caraba's with the fam (really good food, though i stuffed myself on bread and consequently took home a bunch of leftovers. also recounted the parents excitement/lack thereof in becoming parents 30 years ago)
sunday eve:
-nap (amazing. and very much needed)
-sushi at mojo for maggie's birthday (the sushi was amazing as usual, and the company was tons of fun. we had a private room and made more noise than the rest of the restaurant altogether. unfortunately i managed to spill teriyaki sauce all over maggie's brother's phone while attempting to be funny)
-megamind with maggie (a really funny movie which would've been funnier had i not been half asleep)
and thus the weekend is behind me.
tomorrow entails wearing sunscreen, consigning clothing, and painting the deck. i love manual labor.
i remember when i interned in czech we spent a day working at a family's farm. we did hard work in the hot sun, but it was so refreshing to be actually physical (and outdoors) again after a lot of traveling, visiting, and meeting new people.
i've been all sorts of nostalgic lately about czech, perhaps because i'm returning. i was consciously attempting to remember bunches of memories from interning by reading my old journals and blog entries and checking out facebook pictures. what great community that provided.
so sentimental.
