I can has summer?

Posted on | 3 years, 7 months ago, around lunchtime | No Comments

Holy crap, the season has finally rolled over (I think), and the weather is just lovely. Mind you, Aric is a sweaty pile of grumpiness, but I’m tickled pink at my newfound ability to wear skirts and tank tops without sweaters and boots atop them.

Naturally, this glorious weather would land smack in the middle of a whole bunch of work deadlines, but hey — I’ll take what I can get.

Yesterday, I went to get some summer shoes. As you may recall, our carnivorous closet ate all my sandals, flats, and flip-flops with mold over the winter, and I couldn’t see replacing them until the weather warranted it. Well, now I am the proud owner of some black patent leather flip-flops and a pair of metallic bronze quasi-ballet flats that sound atrocious, but are actually so cute that I can scarcely refrain from a squee every time I don them.

I also nabbed some fresh fruits and veggies out at the U-district farmer’s market, where I strolled the aisles with Ellen and her mom. Now my kitchen smells like onions and tomatoes,* which beats the hell out of dishwashing soap and stale cookies. I must now acquire some potatoes, because I have the makings for some most excellent hash browns. Also, I can now make a seriously well-dressed grilled cheese sammich.

Yes yes, I know. I’m not a foodie and I don’t do much cooking, so I don’t get too complicated with it. But dammit, I know what I like.

Now it’s off to brunch and then, I suppose, I’ll come back here to get some more work done. I’m eyeballs deep in a super-fun project and I need to have good content for it quite shortly — so don’t cry for me, Internets. I’m having a good time over here, even if it sounds vaguely like I’m tied to a millstone or something.

I’m not, I promise.

:)


* Little-known fact about me: I love the smell of onions. Love it. Can’t get enough of it. Vidalias are my personal preference, but these Walla Walla jobbies are promising, and they seem to be a suitable substitute.
