prepare to be bored
so, it’s been a few days since i have written anything. i keep sitting down and drawing a blank on what to write.
i guess here’s an update on my life this week: (disclaimer- prepare to be bored)
i missed wil the first few days while he was up in rhode island. it was a little bit easier knowing he was having fun with cj, but i still was lonely without him. i got to pick him up on wednesday. woot!
while walking through the rows of drafting tables in my design studio, i got a bit too close to one and caught the corner of the metal pencil tray, ripping a big fatty hole in the side of my pants (quite close to the back pocket!). luckily it did not expose anything too personal, but it was risque enough to require my hand to cover it the rest of the day. and of course, it was on my craziest day of the week, where i couldn’t go home and change until about 7 that night! r.i.p my very loved jeans…
i stumbled upon two rolls of very old film in the bag of my manual camera…so old that at the time, i had no idea what was on them. so, out of curiosity i had them developed; today i was able to see them online! it was quite fun to see them for a couple reasons: one, there were some cool pictures in there i now remember taking…two: i never realized that film can go “bad” after a while (these rolls were at least 2 years old)…and three: i really think the age and corrosion of the film really works for my b&w photos; it gives them a certain look i would have never been able to do on purpose (it is kind of hard to see on the web). anyways, those are posted under “artsy.”
i found out this week the future cause of my death: thank you notes. i am preparing to tell wil tonight that he shouldn’t expect me to live much longer than the honeymoon, because i will have written myself to death in thank you cards for all the wedding gifts. i am honestly sooo grateful for the generosity and encouragement from family and friends, but it’s crazy hard to sit and write 35 thank you cards in a row and still claim your sanity. i finished mine from the recent shower last night, but i think i lost a few years of my life.
speaking of the shower, for those who like to look at my photos (i hope those people exist), i am planning on posting more from that weekend, but hold tight, as i am waiting to upload the rest off of cassie’s camera…she did much better at taking photos that week than i did.
and last, wil and i went grocery shopping at 11:30 last night…i was interesting…like we were sneaking in after hours, even though my kroger is 24 hours. it was nice that it wasn’t busy, but none of the lights were on in the fridges/freezers and there were lots of boxes and crates everywhere- hard to manuever with a cart. but i guess, that’s what being in college is for: a real midnight snack. i highly recommend the experience to others.
oh and the lesson for this week: being rich and famous does not automatically make someone have good taste.
