i just got home from work. it has been a slow grinding week. but now its weekend. always welcomed and embraced.
i am home alone, freshly showered with a glass of wine and some chocolate yogurt. i basically live on yogurt and potato soup when i am not at backspace/someday or when ashley isn't home. its not that i can't afford anything else. i can.... i am just in a yogurt and soup phase.... i don't ever want to eat solid things...
i blame lizen. she got me started on both.
i have been thinking alot lately about how little lizen and i have in common. i actually love it. it makes it easily to learn from each other instead of feeding off each other.
lizen loves math. it calms her down because there is always a right answer. you "can't be wrong." i find this confusing because when it comes to math i feel like i am always wrong. i never even get my bank deposits right. lizen wants to work some at H and R block for tax season....
she reads science fiction and lesbian crime fighting mystery novels and novellas. "they are fun." she says. she read a bit out loud to me the other day while we were lying around. it was about a group of people who lived in a mountain and wanted to make it beautiful so they made a forest inside the mountain. she proceeded to read on as the book explained how they were doing such a thing. "you can't plant a redwood IN A MOUNTAIN! that is just dumb" i said. "its a story, not a biography." she replied.
she is the type of person who knows the names of all the different fish in the sound and north pacific. "its a flounder!" i would say. " no baby, its a halibut."
she likes football and was in the olympic primaries for curling. she would have gone to the 1997 winter olympics, but had to have a major surgery. i had to wikipedia "curling" when she told me.
her religious background is native american. she tells me stories about orcas that turn into wolves and tribes who believe we all came from a giant clam. i still wont let go of my rosaries.
she budgets, balances her checkbooks, doesn't drink very often at all, and always checks my food for msg so i won't get sick.
basically all we really have in common outside of a love for each other is when i say. "i don't like that squirrel. i think its been following us." without skipping a beat she will reply with something along the lines of "its clearly in the CIA. we should probably keep this conversation in code to confuse it. we don't want the Chinese to know our ways."
