4 39 am pdt [ things you might not know ]

Before you wonder if I'm just trying to stick out my ass, I was cleaning. "A picture of you cleaning?" you ask. Yes. My mother is a bit obsessive about cleanliness, so I figured she would like evidence that I cleaned today.

We took over our first load of stuff, and then went to a neighborhood garage sale where Matthew bought a trash can and I got six blue pots and three regular ceramic pots, all but one with saucers. Then we headed to Super K-Mart, which I have decide to call Super K-Martha in honor of all of the Martha Stuart products they carry. At Super K-Martha we got a slew of items, including six little rosemary plants to go in my six little blue pots.

Back at the old house, I hit a local pottery sale which turned out to be that of one of my former ceramics teachers. The art work was beautiful and pricey. I walked back home and potted all of my rosemarys, splitting one into a seventh plant. Matthew is currently at the car dealership haggling. He just called to say he's headed home with his boss, who happens to be in the east bay. I am excited because we are having game night tonight.

[ 3 years: ]

three years ago today: I am smack dab in the middle of a lengthy shift. I haven't even read my e-mail yet.

two years ago today: I had a long talk with Matthew last evening. We went back and forth, and then finally agreed that I would work on not making insensitive arguments when I am angry and he would work on not walking away while I was talking to him. Great.

one year ago today: I just had some waffles for dinner and now I'm going to take an itty bitty nap.
