Well, I haven't written for a while. Mostly because my laptop recently got stolen.
I park in a parking deck downtown. On the day in question I was going from work over to John's house, which was literally 2 minutes from the parking deck, so instead of going home to get my laptop and change of clothes, I threw them in my laptop bag. Because I have to walk a block and half from the parking deck to my car, I didn't want to carry that bag alone with my work laptop and purse into the building, so I left it in the car.
Obviously, at the end of the day, they were gone. No damage to the car (my windows were cracked, I'm guessing they were able to reach something in to unlock the doors that way - the alarm would have gone off, but who pays attention to alarms anymore?). The goods taken: the laptop, a change of clothes (my favorite pants and an awesome tanktop that Jen Morris gave me), my Nintendo DS and all my games for it, hairbrush, deodorant, and the stuffed Yoshi John gave me for my birthday. Plus the bag itself is worth $70. I filed a police report, but haven't heard anything about it (not that I expected to). I called my insurance but my deductible is $1000 and everything stolen was worth barely more than that, so no point in making a claim.
Anyway, that was reason number one I haven't written for a while (had to buy a NEW laptop, which is SO incredibly nice... except it has Vista on it, which I hate). The other reason is that my time has been consumed by John moving in.
His dad came and helped us fix up the basement enough for him to move is store down there, and then we spent an afternoon moving his most important stuff into the house (ironically the day AFTER my stuff got stolen - so the day it was stolen was the LAST DAY I'd ever have to bring it in to work). He's now moved everything in and things are going well - he definitely motivates me to keep the house clean, and we have a great deal where he cooks me food and all I have to do is clean up. I'll take it!
His friend Josh is moving at the end of the month to Columbus. It's the first time since John started college that he won't either be living with Josh or have him right down the road, so it's weird for him... and I've become pretty good friends with Josh myself, so we're not looking forward to him leaving.
John's birthday is exactly a week from today! The weekend after that we go to his friend's wedding (this time finally one that I feel I actually know! how exciting!) and the weekend after that I'm flying out to CT to visit the 'rents. Yay for swimming in their pool!
and THAT is what's going on.
