The latest
Okay, I haven’t written much these days, so I’ll try to be brief in this addendum :D
Last weekend at Lucy’s grandparents’ house on Lake Michigan was awesome. I burned the crap out of my back, and only today is it starting to feel normal. ‘cept it’s itchy, which means it’s going to start peeling soon. Who of my friends are peeling addicts? Maybe I’ll hang out with you folk and save myself the trouble. We played Lord of the Fries and did some midnight skinnydipping with a few of her friends – the stars are, as advertised, incredible when in the water before the moon comes out. We discovered that sleeping in tents -on cots- is so much better than on the ground.
My apartment is looking like a mini-disaster for a multitude of reasons. First, I haven’t finished unpacking, yet I needed to give Ben a number of my boxes. That means piles of stuff. Also, I haven’t used my dishwasher yet, also I need a new way of storing my photos, also I need to actually put away my clothes instead of dealing with them as two piles on the floor. I generally organize in spurts – I’ll put something off until one evening, at 1 am, I’ll spend two or three hours on a massive organizational battle.
My truck, as usual, continues to operate only because my will demands that it hold together. While investigating an electrical problem, speedygeo noticed I had steel showing on my tires. Oops. Yeah, I don’t think I rotated my tires. Ever. In the process of replacing those two tires, the shop stripped one stud while taking a lug off, and one while putting that same lug on. So one of my tires is being held by 3 studs (I know, sounds kinky) until I can get it into a nearby brake shop on Thursday. At least they’re paying for it.
“…I haven’t used my dishwasher yet, also I need a new way of storing my photos…”
I first read that as “I haven’t used my dishwasher yet SO I need a new way of storing my photos…”
And I was thinking… what a strange storage system he has there… geez… I think I need more coffee. ;-)
Well, yeah, doesn’t everyone? :)

Don’t MAKE me come up there and help/make you organize your place over the weekend with a good movie and some wine.
Don’t MAKE me. :-)
*L* It would make up for your terribly gauche behavior of leaving for Australia without me, and the sheer temerity of living in the same complex as Lucy. :D
We were enjoying seeing your cars while we were there the other weekend – I tried to jar the dude’s memory about whether he’d seen you around before. :)
I’m a massive peeling addict, but only on myself. I don’t get the whole peeling other people’s sunburns thing. That is gross to me.
I had a hard time keeping my hands off my tattoo when I first got it.
Those same people often like to pop zits. Yes, other people’s zits.
Eeeeew. I only mess with my own skin. In private.
There’s a certain nerve sensation at the peeling site that I consider crucial to the experience and is obviously absent when peeling someone else’s sunburn. I can’t believe I’m having a conversation about this.
I totally believe it. And I know the feeling you’re referring to.*shivers* Sorry, my skin’s totally preparing for a peel, and that itch… gr.
massive organizational battle
Excellent phrase. :)
Thanks, Nancy :) I think, sometimes, these battles involve lasers.
You know this makes me twitch – right?
So – got plans for the weekend? :grins:
*laugh!*
As a matter of fact, it just just now become less eventful.
