What a busy week I've had.
Mark showed up late last night as I briefly awoke. Rachel's been here all week, and I've been back and forth working every other day. When I'm not at work (and dropping food on the floor - today was yogurt, a piece of Luna Bar, some cottage cheese, and just now some of my dinner) we've been working really hard at being crafty. I, too, was also spending much time praying to the God of Printers as I babysat said printer.
It was awesome! The Dance Flurry
My dear friend Rachel is here curled up on the couch knitting a blanket, and Mark is off in Portland, Oregon until tomorrow night - Rachel and I have had good fun, and the dance flurry this past weekend was just what I needed.
It's January, I'm not sick anymore, and I just had a three-day weekend and spent all day Saturday lindyhopping!! I took a workshop on lindy-blues and one on aerials with my friends Adam and Camille! Wowwee!
And Mark and I went dancing Saturday night and there were many people out and many wonderful dances to be had to the live band (Solomon Douglas Quartet). I enjoyed myself tremendously.
Off topic, the weather's been oddly warm - 70+ degrees out - and our heat never came on, so Saturday night we spent freezing. Then the heat got turned up Sunday night because no one else's heat came on either, and we sweated all night at 70+ degrees.
Tim's been over hanging out several times in the last week and a half...doing research for his paper and helping make delicious food. I'm going to miss him when he's gone this summer!
Tomorrow I go back to work so it's time for bed. Ciao bella.
