wonderful weekend

hey all, thanks for keeping up around here, even when i haven't been good about updating. i've really appreicated your comments, even when i'm not posting new entries. readers rock! thank you all.

so when we last left our heroine, she was planning a quiet weekend in with the woman she had begun to address as "girlfriend." friday night she took a bubble bath, with sexy smelling candles and tea and luka bloom playing and i read her fairy tales. saturday morning we were pleasantly awakened by christopher calling and letting us know he was sick and i wouldn't have to go into work. so d and i could move much more slowly. she drove us to devon market, and we got a CART (cause she can drive, you know) and bought feast items. we came home and started peeling and slicing apples. we only peeled and sliced, like, 1/2 of the apples she had, but we still had 15 cups. we made an apple strudel and apple pie, for which i wove a beautiful latice top. then we made vegetarian chili, and blue cornbread, and guacamole for appetizer. yum! the house was so hot from the oven being on that after we were done cooking, when we still had time before the guests came, we took a walk around the block. it was so charming. i couldn't help but think about last year this time, when i was in irish play hell, and mom came to see it and i walked around the block to get privacy when talking to l on the cell phone. how different to have a real person here this year!

ch and hugo came over and we had a delightful evening. full of cheese and wine and lots and lots of apples. deb had expressed interest in playing games, so i got out (keeping with the theme!!) apples to apples. it was lots of fun. except hugo and i tend to shut out all others when we play together. when we went out to change the parking permit on deb's car, i asked her if she liked my friends, and she's like, you're crazy- just having adult conversation is a wonderful new thing i've been missing in my life!

we were just lazy and slow all weekend- stopping to cuddle or chat no matter what we were doing. we watched high art, which was much more depressing than i had planned on. we went to the laundrymat, and i graded papers for her. the blue elephant is open again under new management, so we got takeout from there.

it's just all nice, you know? a weekend living in a surrealistic dream world. all the good things about being on vacation, but all the good things about staying at home, too. like taking a vacation in my own apartment. so that was perfect. and i guess it pushed me into the pink room. to have met someone who lives in the same city as me, who thinks i'm sexy, who lets me warm my feet up on her- what more could i want?
