New House (and Lobster)!!

Bean had a deadline to meet for work, so I spent the night alone in the new (but old, and so beautiful) house. I made myself a martini and cleaned and sipped and had a delicious lobster roll from the local grocer down the street. It was a perfect picnic supper in a vast expanse of creaking, intricate, beloved building.

I love this house.

Sister Graduation

Meedle graduates, and I get blueberry pancakes in a diner.

Meeds!

And directly after I spent a few days in New Bedford with the gurl. We bummed about the apartment, sitting outside and tending the garden; taking naps and rough-housing with roommates and chatting and you know. This pizza, though, was somehow disappointing, though mushroom is my absolute favorite kind...

HIKING

Finally a beautiful day; finally nothing to do. I mapped out a route through the Catskills, and here is what I found:

10 miles of hiking

5 1/2 hours

1 protein bar consumed

3 water bottles quaffed

1 tin salmon + 1 Reeses cup given to somewhat starving bearded man with large pack and very slow shuffle

1 old couple met

(25*9) - 3 = 222 pictures taken

1 diner visited

1 feta burger, 1 million fries, and 1 diet coke digested

$10.64 spent

11 truck-driving songs heard

1 stomach a'rumbling at the end

2 calves very tight

1 forearm bruised (how?)

1 shin scraped

2 socks filled with mud

1 head of hair irreversibly mussed

It was the perfect day...
