i'm sore today. ( sometimes you have to make things messy to make things clean. )

a ticket to ride.

( farewatching )

like the roads that lead to Rome, all thoughts come back to planning for the Burn.

( i know what to expect and yet i have no expectations. )

i remember the first time i met jeremy.

( it was early in the evening, the first day of my freshman college experience was behind me... )

yep, still here. mostly been on Facebook. i've been having a hard time keeping up with everything and everyone on the net and have been opting more often to chose the immediacy of tangible physical life.

so many lessons are in front of me this year. i may return to this medium as a more reflective poetic place as i had originally intended.

recipies from a dinner party last night- 100% vegetarian and awesome. see below the cut for details.

( curried coconut soup and a winter beet salad )

dreaming of FRFF 2009....

anyone (local) interested in checking out wines at table and vine this afternoon?

hey.

you. yeah, you. i would love to have your address so i can send you our HAPPEH HOLIDAZE CARD this year.

[x] brand new porch @ house

First floor apartment at my house is getting ready to be rented! The porch is just about done and will be finished this week. I just measured out and will be installing a brand new parquet floor in the bedroom so I am very excited about getting this rented in the next few weeks. More details at the 51 Elm St Page

i've really dropped off the face of the earth lately, so i thought i would jot down a little note about what has been occupying me.

work, obviously, has taken a big center stage. with some important solar incentives looking like they would be disappearing, people are nervous about getting their projects done so they can capitalize on that. that has been putting a lot of pressure on us.

also? i need to ask for the raise.

a retaining wall and my two-storey enclosed porch are in the process of being rebuilt. the wall is done and the porch has been demolished and is partially rebuilt. these two projects have been the collective albatross around my neck since i bought the house.

in the meantime, i am also working on restoring the floor in the 1st floor bedroom. the carpet came up and the linoleum is coming up now. when the carpet came up you could see areas of the floor that marked out the footprint of rooms as they used to be laid out in the house. old houses are cool.

problem tenant moved out of her own will, hallelujah, but i still want to get paid, so off to small claims court i will have to go next now that i have my court order in hand.

i'm off to Youth Dance Weekend

well.

a rare night in the house alone.

what the heck should i do first???

wanted: male, non-creepy, won't follow me home or stalk me as a non-romantic dance partner for social dancing. please be a reasonably athletic and experienced dancer with grace and good rhythm. please possess a good sense of humor and overall disposition and be well groomed with a stable life to return back to when the dance is done.

sometimes i just want to do something really fun and irresponsible just to remind myself that there' more to life than this.

so far, a year of great moments and crushing disappointments. like a manic depression, the highs have been higher and the lows have been lower.
