After having a really amazing sunny spring, summer has ended up being very blahh so far. 60s and perma-clouds. It is getting to me in a "will the sun ever shine again"sort of way. If I could have just ONE WEEK of summer I would be happy. But no, even that seems to much to ask. At this point I feel like I could complain about the weather for a long time so I'm just going to stop myself here.
I took this picture in the middle of the dang afternoon. You wouldn't know it. Look how cute they all look though.
On the other hand, the weather has been a good excuse for eating my new favorite thing.
I just boil some water, add a vegetable stock cube, some ramen noodles, veggies (I like broccoli and mushrooms), and two scrambled eggs. It is so good! If you're me and you physically CANNOT eat a meal that doesn't involve cheese somehow, you'll throw some sharp cheddar on top and it will be awesome. I think my mom will laugh about this because I distinctly remember that sometimes she would put egg in our Top Ramen and it would make me SO MAD. I'm sorry. You're right. It is good.
Anyway, there is a bright spot on the horizon. We're finally having the inside of our house painted!!! We're staying at Jeff's dad's house so the painters can work in peace without gigantic tufts of hair floating around. I tried to move as much of the smaller furniture as I could out of the house and into the garage.
Although it does make it easier for the painters to have it out of the way, I mainly did it because I love the idea of coming back to bright white-walled sparsely furnished rooms and decorating ALL OVER AGAIN. And the opportunity for for some serious deep-cleaning.
I can pretty much guarantee Jeff had no idea any furniture had been moved until it was done. This is what happens when you are REALLY focused on your "work" and yet still trying to have a conversation with your girlfriend. It's tough.
YES. I do love "The Cable Guy". It was one of two movies owned by Jeff's roommate (and bunkmate!) sophomore year. I swear he had that movie on every other day. The other movie, hilariously, was "Man on Fire". He was the same guy who often remarked that he wished he could take a pill to satisfy his dietary and showering needs. I miss him.
After all my complaining about the weather it was actually sunny yesterday so we hung out on Denny's patio. The dogs get so hot out there but for some reason love to lay directly in the sun.
OMG. I'm a little biased, but her cuteness kills me. Hard to believe we've had her for 3 years this August.
Today is only day two of the painting but already the two very high-ceilinged bedrooms have a coat of primer on them. It was so nice to see the many many holes left by the previous owner's yucky drapes finally filled in properly. No pics until it is done though!
