today i....

- ate lunch with my parents

- brushed the dog. (it was no easy feat. she lost enough fur to make another dog)

- weeded the garden (it only made me kind of sad to pull up flowers dandelions)

- played on the trampoline with brother

me



brother



- encouraged brother as he mastered daring feats of acrobatics.

- made dinner. more specifically chicken cordon bleu (it doesn't look.....great. but it was delicious. also it's the first time i've cooked in.....months.)

being in idaho makes me all domestic.


also. this song is so great. covers for songs i'm already in love with are like ice cream on top of a brownie. unnecessary but sooo delicious. (and yes i'm aware how creepy/lame i sound right now. again, i blame idaho)

wasteland

do you remember that show on abc a loooong time ago called wasteland? It was about a group of 20-30 year olds transitioning through life. “in the space between college and real life lies….wasteland” I never actually watched it myself, but the preview was on 10 Things I Hate About You (back in the vhs days when it was a requirement to sit through the previews) so I saw it a lot. speaking of 10 Things…Allison Janney was on LOST last week and it really threw me to see her as someone besides the crazy guidance counselor….or as the dog-obsessed stepmom in Juno.

But I digress.

Last week I got this

which means I am now officially smack dab in the middle of the wasteland. Smack dab everyone! It’s awesome, but also not, and now I have to think about things like new cars and health insurance and the likelihood that I have any employable skills that lie outside the realm of food service. It’s not just scary, it’s terrifying, and I just sit and pretend to hold it all together and be organized and make lists when really all I want to do is maybe cry or eat a snowcone and definitely definitely run away to California.

meet me on the pier?

afternote - i looked up wasteland and it’s from all the way back in 1999 and sadly only aired 3 episodes…the things that take up my brain space…
