dropped off the mac, went to trader joe's, went to katz's, hit MoM and Lotte (asian market), hit another Trader Joe's (forgot sesame oil), then went to my favorite lebanese restaurant with yurikokinje... went back to the apartment, chatted with him and, occasionally, quix while i convinced my feet that they wanted to drive home. ;)

left dc around 8. rolled into cville at 10:15, called boy to see if we needed groceries, hit Kroger and CVS, and was home by 10:35. now i think i'll go to sleep.

i have so much chocolate. bwahahahahahahaha.

and i have pocky for mbickers, but boy might try to steal it first.

in other news, i'm awake. i need to go shower. i keep using boy's kleenex by mistake. they appear to be the lotioned kind. applying aloe to my skin just makes sniffles worse and skin very, very unhappy. *sigh*

i need to go buy furnace/AC filters. lowe's doesn't stock the sizes i want, so i'm going to go around to the wee hardware stores, heating supply places, etc. if anyone local would like to tag along, call me.

other than trying to buy furnace filters, i pretty much spent the day bugging boy until M called. then she and i went off to procrastinate. i'm not sure what i was procrastinating, but mbickers has finals and projects.

we went to whole foods and found young herbs. i grabbed mint for boy (even though we have several varieties in the yard) and oregano. i also bought some onion rolls and granola bars and purple tent bean seeds.

then we went to kmart and wasted time. i really should try to not walk so much, but i hate being bored. and i wasn't in the mood to read or garden. we then tried to visit a nursery, but it was closed. so we went home and i made dinner for all of us while boy did some dishes. we had chinese broccoli (sesame and garlic) and squash and cheese filled pastas (not tortellini, but similar). very yummy. i just tossed the pasta with heavy cream and butter. i made coffee for the crack-baby and kool-aid, too. we also gave her candy i bought while i was at the korean grocery yesterday (pucca and green-tea pocky). i ended up finding more candy around the house i couldn't eat (chocolate from my MiL, pez, etc), so she's nicely hyper. ;)

we went back to the Goth House, where Terminal Ready was practicing. We found xiane making bath salts in the kitchen, so we sat for awhile. then we started smelling her herbs. Chris is a good goth mommy and didn't open up the lavender. ;) Her nag champa salts smell delightful, though. she gave me some juniper berries, which i wanted for a recipe. now i need to find the recipe. i can't remember what it was, just that i needed juniper berries.

i started to crash, so boy brought me home. i'm having koolaid and then i'm going to bed. i'm very achy and tired. i think yesterday is catching up with me. it was nice to spend the day with friends, though.

tomorrow, i need to go to noland's or lowe's and buy cheap filters in 12x20 and 18x14, since nobody carries 12x18, which is what the old filters are. i'm not sure which way they go in and i don't want to touch the old filters and try to put them in to see. it appears only one side goes in a guide, so i should be able to put *taller* filters in, it's just hard to see which way is tall when the filters go in a place above my head and past my reach. otherwise, i think i'll garden.
