swing your partner, do-si-do

So.

Friday night was the RUF Barn Party. They had hired a square dance instructor, and we learned line dances and square dances and the Virginia reel. I started out dancing with Luke, but he hurt his ankle somehow, and then aggravated it when he tried to throw me over his shoulder and spin me around swing-style. :) After much coercion, Matt took his place. He didn't have a clue, but at least he tried. Then we went down to the bonfire, and were only there for a little while before the owners of the yard sent us all home. A few of us went to Evan's apartment and watched the Smoking Man episode of X-Files, which Evan had been telling me about. So I now know who killed JFK. And MLK. And a bunch of other people.

Saturday was lovely. I rested, and took a walk, and scrapbooked while watching LOTR. In the evening, Alli and Matt and I went to see Die Another Day (which was not on my movie hit list, but I felt like going somewhere). Debra and her boyfriend met us there. She had planned to come spend the night at the apartment, but the movie was longer than I anticipated, and then she demanded I take her to Wal-Mart and back to the house, so it got too late. At the house, Bun acted very cool toward me. I think he just smelled the cat, but he acted like he didn't even remember me. I tried to cuddle with him, and he kept turning away. Seriously, I wanted to cry. I feel so guilty. Why did I get another pet? Nothing can replace Bun! *sob*

Sunday was another restful day, which was appropriate. :) I spent some time talking to Evan, mainly about the Bond movie. Later I made a lasagna! (Kathy helped, because she was there and couldn't resist being involved, but I made most of it myself!) Ryan came over to help us eat it, and we watched Julia Roberts night on NBC. We saw a Sonic commercial and felt inspired to go there for pecan pie shakes. The shake was great, but I quickly regretted it because Sonic ice cream always makes me feel sick. I wish I knew what caused that. Anyway, on the whole, it was a great day.

And now here I sit. But it's a two-day week for me! Tomorrow night, I am leaving for five whole days. Five days of wearing jeans and sneakers! Five days of eating my grandma's cooking and seeing my family! Five days of relaxation! I am so excited.

I think this building is making me sick. Seriously. I was fine all weekend, but my ability to breathe is decreasing the longer I'm here. Maybe it's the Black Mold!

Are you up for a free Chick-Fil-A sandwich tomorrow? Jeremy and I used two of the coupons today, but I've still got 5 left (and they expire Friday.) It's a free sandwich (fried or grilled) with no strings attached (no buy-one-get-one free deal...)

I wish I could! But Kathy is making us lunch at the apartment, and I won't see her again till I get back. I'm sorry! I wish those coupons lasted longer than a week. How much chicken do they think you can eat in a week? :P

Now I have a craving for lasagna. We have Sonic commercials around here but the place doesn't actually exist. It must be some sort of mess up in the advertising scheme.

We kept having Sonic commercials here, too, but we have none. Then we found out that one is coming right to my little town! Maybe it's a foreshadow for you also. :)

Ah, yes that is very possible. Though I think the commercials have been on for like 2 years. We are finally getting a Krispy Kreme, I know that much :)

How have you survived so long without Krispy Kreme? Do you have Dunkin' Donuts?

Re: Sonic

[markis97.livejournal.com]

Yes we have Dunkin Donuts. It's easy to survive without something if you've never had it. I had one donut from there in NYC when I was there a few weeks ago. I also brought back a dozen for sominfun since I knew she misses them.

the only Krispy Kreme in the state of washington is a good 25 miles east of Seattle. Tons of kids from college drive to Issaquah (where it's at) just for donuts. which is funny... because here in Seattle you rarely drive a distance to anywhere unless it's for vacation.

Having lived long time in NC I could loose my NC residence for saying this but I prefer Dunkin Donuts. That statment will get me in trouble if I run for political office one day.

There was one Krispy Kreme location that torn down many years ago when a main road was widend and KK has just never been the same.

I can totally relate to thinking your work building is making you sick. I think mine is too. Ever since I've started working here, my allergies are horrid when I get there but fine when I leave and on the weekends when I'm not here. :(

See? :) I think they neglect to clean the air filters. That's what happened in the dorm I lived in for three years, so that's what I always suspect when sudden illness strikes.

Re:

I think that's what it is too. I know they never clean them at my work. I went to a presentation on this stuff not too long ago and it really makes sense that it's happening. I wish they'd fix it. Every time I suggest it, they say it costs too much to get it checked out. And I work for a Safety School!

Yay Sonic!
