i found out at zero point
Nov. 27th, 2006 12:21 pmAdam cooked the most delicious thing he's ever made (aside from mac and cheese, obv.): chicken cordon bleu, a green bean salad with roasted almonds and garlic, and steamed asparagus. Anna and Julia were here and we ate and drank cheap wine and watched Back to the Future on the new TV. We also checked out the personal ads in the reader, the XXX ones are always so wonderful. I wonder if that stuff actually works. It must - there are a lot of lonely people in the world.
Anna, Julia and I also made a run to Salvation Army so they could drop off some stuff, a vanity, some clothes, and as soon as we pulled up at dusk these people came over to us and started looking through what we were leaving there. They took the vanity for a little girl who ran up to Julia and asked if she could have it and some winter boots and when we left they were sifting through the clothes. Incredibly sad, but also kind of joyous and very humbling.
We are off to IKEA today to buy a TV stand. I also want a bookshelf, and we have to figure out what we want to do with the back room. I'm thinking study.
It was 65 over the weekend. 65 in Chicago in November. AWESOME. Of course by Thursday it's going to drop into the 20s, so I'm thinking this was our last heat wave until June. Still, it was nice going outside without a jacket, and when I was downtown on State Street on Saturday it was nice to see so many people out enjoying the warmth and taking advantage of all the sales.
I've been having lots of anxiety about the new job. I feel like I'm going to totally fail at it. Oh well - all I can do is try. Speaking of, I need to go memorize the menu and drink list before I pick Adam up at 2.
Also, my phone rang around midnight, the number was not one I recognized but I picked it up anyway because who calls someone at midnight on a Sunday? Whoever it was hung up, and then called back a few minutes later. Turned out it was that guy who asked me out on Halloween. He was calling A MONTH after the fact. Wtf? AND it was midnight, AND I was drunk, AND I don't want to go out with him. The connection was bad, I couldn't hear much so I hung up. He didn't call back. I hope he doesn't.
Strange.
Well I was going to go to the gym before 2 but now I won't have time. AHHH I suck. Memorize, shower, IKEA. And then there are rumors of karaoke tonight.
