What I'm Reading This Week #32
Howdy do y'all and how's it hanging this week? It feels weird to not have had people traipsing in and out of the house all week. I'll take it though. We haven't had any storms yet, of course so no sigh of relief just yet but fingers crossed. What I can happily update is in using the moisture meter against the wall yesterday, is the off the chart over 99 number we got before that set off alarms? It's now down to 24 and technically considered dry but those baseboards aren't going back up until we've had some storms. I can't tell you how relieving it is to have that meter so we know the moisture is going down in a place we couldn't see unless we cut out a huge piece of drywall. Tuesday I did some zinnia pruning as that task got ignored for two weeks because of the aforementioned traipsers (new word). It'll be interesting to see if rando zinnias start popping up due to the petals that have seeds attached falling off. I was working besid...
My crush loved Duran Duran and her brother and my brother were friends so she found out that my older brother had gone to the Duran Duran concert and asked me if I could get her copies of pictures. I don't know exactly why I didn't just ask my brother but I decided this was the perfect opportunity for a covert mission into his room where I found his negatives (it was a disc camera, ugh) and took the disc negative, put it in a pouch I had on my bike and rode my bike pretty far out of normal bike riding range for a kid to take it directly to her house on a Saturday. She was quite puzzled that I didn't just have my brother give it to her brother but obviously I couldn't tell her that it was just because I wanted to see her, that would be too direct and sane! Instead I said something like "Oh I was heading this way already" yeah right! Well the inevitable happened and my brother found out I had stolen the negatives from him and he eventually got them back but it was just a lesson in how we do irrational things sometimes for a crush.
ReplyDeleteI did all kinds of crazy stuff when it came to crushes. Cut my hair into a punk style for one kid, smoked for another, pretended I had the same horrible music tastes as another, and did a lot of pre-teen/teen stalking just trying to catch a glimpse. I remember a friend and I would walk to a dark park across the street (a dead end street) from my main crush's giant house just to see him drive up after school. Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful.
