Yardwork & Prius
I really want one of the new Toyota Prius cars, the not yet production 2004 model. There are so many things to like about it, but most importantly the fact that it’s hybrid and thus extremely fuel efficient. Yeah, we were checking those out earlier today.
Yesterday we went and rented a gas powered tiller to make chomping the lawn and earth up an easier task. In reality, while it was more efficient, it wasn’t necessarily easier. This tiller was HUGE, so huge that it was nearly impossible to move it without actually having it running; furthermore, it took all of my strength and body weight to keep it from moving OVER the ground, versus digging into it. I do think the next time we don’t need the “extra heavy duty commercial” one, haha… we need the fairy version. You can just feel muscles enlarging though when using it… seriously, shoulders and arms just seem so much… bigger, lol.
I made a somwhat failed attempt at solid massage type product lastnight containing aloe and lots of vitamin e, I added too much beeswax so it was difficult to melt and left these little pellets, it was kind of gross, but it did feel good — very soothing to the sunburn. This morning I remelted it and added more oils, it’s much better now; I’m hoping it will help eliminate the tendency for the skin to crack or flake or otherwise get icky… the peppermint, aloe, and vitamin e from the safflower oil, etc, should do an adequate job; the peppermint in particular is nice and cooling. When I did the remelt this morning I poured it into this rubber heart shaped mold we’d bought on our most recent shopping excursion, they seem to be the perfect size and are rather cute also.
DaVe is still napping, I just woke up a little while ago… it seems pretty soon here we’ll need to get motivated and work with the cement paving block things we got this morning.
Oh yeah, lastnight we made shish kabobs with shrimp, beef, chicken, green pepper, onion, and pineapple… they were so very good; although the chicken seemed a little gooey to me. It was so nice to sit out on the deck, by candle light and just ramble endlessly. I’m kind of hoping that it’s just another step towards the woman (mom) being cool with the idea of him staying here permanently if we’d choose that route. It’s still a little nervous though, not really sure what’s going to happen in the short term future. I know he’ll be going back perhaps in a week… There are things he needs to take care of in either case.
I’m strongly on the idea of getting a bigger bed… of course, if he would move here, and bring hs bed, then we’d have a bigger bed, without having to actually purchase one… I guess that’s where my whole impatience deal comes in, lol. I want a bigger bed now! ;) In reality this tiny one isn’t bad, but I know we’d be more comfortable if we could actually spread out. It makes me wonder how my mom feels when she sees me in bed with a guy… even if we are only sharing the bed, versus… and we have tshirts/boxers on. I’ve never really given it too much thought, but she woke us up this morning (painfully early too I might add).
Anyway, I might be able to spend time with Mike either Monday or Wednesday, but he wants to talk to me before then… about something. It does make me a little paranoid, because so many things come to mind; I just hope it isn’t something negative. I felt as though we had a fairly indepth discussion on Sunday morning about things, but then again it was mostly me talking and him listening, so perhaps it’s my turn to listen. Again, though, I hope it isn’t something negative… intensifications I can deal with, but a lessening of what we have going on would be dissapointing.
Yesterday morning DaVe and I watched Total Eclipse while I was imbibing of the Harvey Wallbangers. I was so delightfully drunk, a feeling I couldn’t even remember the last time I had — just drinking for the fun of it all, versus trying to wash away something… I woke up in the middle of the night with a “what the hell?” “I was asleep?” “How’d he get into bed?” type thought train, lol. I’m such a light sleeper generally, I had some of the best sleep in a long time, apparently nothing could wake me out of that deep sleep, lol.
