tomorrow starts my last week at this job. wierd...
well, it was a pretty good weekend. i joined katie & anna for a tasty dinner of lentils & kale salad & some wine. i really enjoyed myself. i was feeling pretty down on my way over to their place, thinking about how much i miss all my far away family & friends & thinking about katie's future departure. apparently they were both feeling a little blah as well. somehow we managed to cheer each other up & we talked & laughed the evening away. there was even some singing/rapping going on. why is it hanging with girls is so fun? dunno but i'm very thankful for all my girl friends.
yesterday dan went to the market with me. it was a gorgeous day. it's nice that the saturday market is so close to our house but it's way too crowded & cramped & i generally don't look forward to the market experience. the layout needs some help. i digress.
my boss' dad, david, & i went to the Book Thing - this free book store/warehouse in our neighborhood - for a little while in the afternoon. then we sat on his porch & he told me how to cook chicken livers & calves liver. kinda funny.
i also checked out this really old seed shop downtown & picked up some seeds for our fall vegetable garden. we're about a month late planting, give or take a week, but i hope it's not too cold for things to root. katie & i spent a good part of the late afternoon & evening tearing out the tomato plants. we added some manure & planted a small area. we're trying to stagger the planting so the veges aren't all ripe at the same time. we planted collards, kale, spinach, beets & carrots so far. i also bought brussel sprouts but i think they needed to be planted in the spring... maybe next year. we pulled all of our basil plants, which were actually like basil trees, in hopes of making & freezing a bunch of pesto sometime this week.
today was cleaning for the inlaw visit later in the week. i got the kitchen straightened up & my drafting table. i also picked up some manure & leaf mulch from the garden & attempted to amend the soil in the planters i've got on the roof. planning to try growing beets & spinach on the roof. they're full of potting soil & it's pretty crappy, so we'll see how it goes.
dan & i went for a walk at robert e. lee after he got home from work. we checked out the forts. it was pretty durn chilly but i dressed for it. unfortunately i had to pee shortly after we got there - even though i went to the bathroom right before we left. so we had to find a good spot because the place was pretty packed. we found a spot that seemed ok, so i dropped trou & attempted to pee but i heard a noise behind me & then dan started laughing because he peeked. had to give up on that spot. we walked on to the first fort, looked around & headed to the second fort. i decided that was my best bet for some privacy. sorry, fort-builder. when you gotta go, you gotta go.

(the first of 2 forts, this past spring. why the forts are interesting to me: katie & i were walking around in rbt. e lee last winter. we were walking through this area that had flooded the previous summer & was covered in downed trees, branches & brush. it looked like a tree graveyard. we both decided it was the perfect spot to build a fort... less than a minute later, we stumbled upon this fort. it was really bizarre. how many parks have random forts in them?)had a tasty stir fry for dinner & now it's time to read & relax. i'm going to attempt some early rising this week to prepare for the new job next week. i slept amazingly well last night. it was fantastic. hope it visits me again tonight.
