I guess I should write, though I have too much/not much at all to say.
We've been so busy lately. The weekend after we went to Pittsburgh, my friend Read came to visit for two weeks. He wasn't really visiting us, particularly, which is a good thing because we would have had no time or energy to entertain him. He was coming to do a class at an art school/studio in Philly, and being poor, it was either crash on our airbed or sleep in the car. I can't let someone do that! It's weird, though, because I hadn't seen Read since we graduated from college almost FIVE years ago (egads!) until we met again at JB's wedding in Chicago. The funny thing is, I once had the hugest crush on him! Ha! Now Read is cooool, way cooler than when we were in school, and it's really hard to understand what I saw in that incarnation of him. Anyway. He was around for a couple of weeks, in the middle of which we went down to Annapolis for the annual game of croquet between St. John's (my old school) and the Naval Academy (a bunch of driveling ninnies.) (Just kidding about the ninnies.) The game was canceled but there were hoods from years past, we rented two houses next door to each other and got drunk, had barbecues in the rain, and danced. It was really fun, but it also brought back to me the strange insecurity I always used to feel all through school. Whenever I see my friends one-on-one, which is actually pretty often considering we all live in different parts of the country, I have the best time with them and feel lots of love and security in our friendship. But when we're all together, I'm always wondering if this person likes that person better than me, or whatever, and for days afterwards I'm all confused and sad again. Boo. But it was really fun anyway, my brother came and he hooked up with my friend Jim's sister, who is like five years older than him and some high-powered Washington D.C. lawyer lady. It was really cute, but she's a total rebound girl because my brother's girlfriend broke up with him the day after he got back from Iraq.
So this past weekend was the first weekend we haven't been travelling or had house guests for like, twenty seven months, so we filled it with chores. Which I will tell you tomorrow, since my boss just let me go early! ta
