A laborious Labor Day weekend.
Besides moving frantically on the first (furiously avoiding the roommate getting it on with Miss Spanky yet again), the parents visiting and eating fabulously in between unpacking all my shizzit into a tiny place (I thought the fifth mixing bowl quite necessary when I had a big suburban kitchen), and relaxing on Labor day with a S'more Pie for my belated birthday (graham/caramel crust, chocolate icecream, and a big mound of caramelized marshmallow creme on top nummmmmy), this weekend flew by! I'm uber happy with the new place and roommates, though I am so sore after moving all my stuff up 3-4 flights of stairs!
I miss being 25 though. 26 was that line on the timeline when I used to see myself getting married, and as we all know, I have commitment issues. And the whole subscription! (da dum chhh....I've been saving that one for a while. Aren't you Thrilled???) I mean...do you think I could finally make up my mind about the guy I'm dating? Nooooooo....
Anyways...back to endeavoring to be more engaged in my life, my relationships, and my job!
Bi-Rite Creamery
If we ever get our acts together and do that Nike Marathon, we have to go there afterwards for one of Everything. It's like the best hippie ice-cream store in the world. Latest flavors: honey-lavender, salted caramel, ginger, soy-chocolate, peanut butter toffee... They do ice-cream sandwiches, pies, ohhh land of nummy goodness.
Or you can just come visit and we'll go there anyways :) Now that I live in the city it is only...15 blocks away! We'll drive though. Lots of skeevy people hang out in between unfortunately.
yeah
I found 26 slightly more displeasing than 25 as well, though not for issues such as commitment phobia. 26 is just no longer a 'young' age. Once you're 26, you are considered a 'real' adult by most people, but here I am still in school, making no money and living like a poor college student. So at least you can be satisfied that you have some expendable income and a car. I am just looking forward to 9-12 months from now when I will be either graduated, or at a minimum the proud owner of expendable income (thanks to Nat getting a job).
Yeah.
Although being employed doesn't make the existential ?s go away either... I definitely feel like I should have a career plan or a 5-year plan or something other than "ohh, look a new dinner place opened up!" There's a life-coach at Intel that they bribed us to talk to that asked me questions like: what would you like to do in life to give you joy? My answers were perilously close to giving it all up and going to work for Doctors without Borders or some such non-profit agency. More crazy stuff we were supposed to get over in our early-twenties.
Yummy...
The S'more Pie sounds INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who put it together?
