ohhhhhhh. i’m currently being held captive by the demon known as the post-lunch coma. my eyes are drooping, i’m yawning, i want to crawl under my desk and take a nap.
last night i finally got to meet the mysterious eric, a guy who has been reading my journal since february to see what nick is up to, since nick is a bad communicator. 😉 eric and his wife jane live over by the rice campus, and invited nick and me to their place for dinner. it was great fun, and eric and jane were very cool people. the dinner they made was delicious, and we even had ice cream with fudge and cherries (and caramel and sprinkles if you so desired) for dessert! their place–the bottom floor of a duplex–was really nice as well, just the kind of place i’d like when i move out of an apartment and into a house. (two words: hardwood floors.)
anyway, nick has invited them down to clear lake in a few weeks to return the favor by cooking them dinner at my apartment. yay! i am excited that my apartment is the default choice for hosting dinners. (becca also wants to cook at my apartment, and invite our whole group from work over.) it’s also an incentive to finish unpacking all my crap.
this morning becca cooperated long distance with karen, and came up with a $500 (including taxes) youth fare from houston to london for the second week of september. so it looks like becca and i will be heading over for an ae mafia road trip to scotland! how exciting. it means i will be putting off my trip to visit nick in france until later in the year, but going to england in september and france later made sense in multiple ways. the weather in england will be better the earlier we go…nick will be more familiar with france the later i go… i can’t wait!
