The last couple days…

*attempts to remember something of substance for Sunday* Nope…Not coming up with anything. I think because I pretty much did nothing. The Critters ran down the road to play with the neighbour children, Mum went kayaking with a friend of hers from work.
I agonized that I was missing my hippie. [Yes, I’m that pitiful. *laughs*]

Monday…Went and got my school supplies for the semester, $175.77. My arms about fell off waiting in line trying to hold all the art supplies. The one book I had was simple, it was everything else. [The one book being for Creative Writing.] I ended up with 5, 18×24 sketchbooks! O.o [3 of them are newsprint, one of them for charcoal – those are all for Life Drawing I, and one regular – for Drawing II] Aside from those…There are 2 more sketchbooks, one for Drawing II, and one for 2-D design. Then, of course, the assortment of needed supplies. They had 2-D design’s supplies in a bagged set, so it was easier to carry…Drawing II was all loose, and kept trying to escape. *laughs*
I had to explain to Sonja what rubber cement is…Guess they don’t use it in the schools anymore…She asked because there was a jar of it in the 2-D design stuff. Other than that, it’s mostly a couple sharpies (fine point, and extra fine), pencils (Got a new set, as my Drawing I set was looking a bit rough, same with the charcoal pencils, a couple of them look really rough. *laughs*), some coloured pencils, as we are suppose to start adding colour in sometime before Drawing II is over.

I’m kind of excited, kind of nervous, kind of not wanting summer to be over. For more than a few reasons on that last one…I mean, summer is the season I like best, so I always hate to see it go. Added to that there is the back into a schedule, which usually starts too bloody early in the morning (especially having to get the Critters up and going, when I know they don’t want to go either)…And…Now there is the additional factor that I know it’s going to cut into my free time…Which probably will equate cutting into the time I have to spend with Todd.

Speaking of…Phone rang while I was out Monday…And I managed to drop it on the floor and it turned itself off…Without saving the number that had been attempting to call. I called Mum first, though if she wants something anymore she usually texts before calling. When she said it hadn’t been her, that left it to being most likely one of two people…So I opted to call Todd first out of the two to see if it had accidentally been him. Which…It had been. J He had Monday & Tuesday off, and wanted to know what was up. Told him I didn’t know, and he told me to call him back when I got home.
Which I did, but he was out at that moment, but called me when he got back.

Anyway…Was decided, after Mum agreed to watch the Critters (who were down the road anyway), that I would meet him at the boat launch, and he’d pick me up in the boat, and we’d hang out for a while…Which we did…I even got to drive the boat around for a little bit…Even though I was extremely nervous doing so. Then we decided to go back to my house. Ended up [Finally, as I’ve had it for a couple years, and never watched it.] watching Freddy VS. Jason. It wasn’t too bad…Despite what some people have said, I would not say that Jason won. Heck…If the ‘heroine’ of the movie hadn’t beheaded Freddy, he wouldn’t have gotten ‘killed’ when he did. Besides, it’s not like killing him has ever done anyone a bit of good anyway. Seriously, think about it.

[Tuesday]
Anyway…Todd stayed the night, and hung out all day Tuesday. [Postponed walkies, as Mum had kind of messed up the schedule a bit anyway, so it worked out well…Now I just have to get a hold of Libby to see if she wants to walk today, as I just left a message on her phone since she didn’t answer when I called her.]

We really didn’t do much…He slept till around 1:30 or something…Wish I could…I’ve been getting up before 10 the last couple weeks…*wants to sleep in*

Took Todd down to the tubes (where me, Raya & Derrick use to walk to when they were living here), and he actually got in the water! He’s insane, that water is FREEZING! *laughs* Actually, he decided to take an impromptu bath there. *shakes head* He is something…I’m not sure what, but something. *smiles*

After declaring, once more, that he couldn’t believe we didn’t have a fire pit, he offered to make one. We debated on a good place for one, then I had to convince my Mum it was a good idea. She actually didn’t put as much resistance as I thought she would. So now…We have a fire pit. Todd told me that when I need to punish the Critters now, I can send them to look for rocks to help build up the ring around it. *laughs*
The fire didn’t want to take off at first last night…Finally, with a little help, got it going. Todd warmed up pizza over it…I roasted marshmallows. [I really needed a longer stick, mine was way too short, and the fire was a bit on the hot side.] Sonja roasted one or two…Harley just opted for two non-roasted ones.

Stayed outside for quite awhile…Had the radio going in the Blazer for a good portion of the day, while we were outside. When we did come back in we watched the third Nightmare on Elm Street…I actually fell asleep during it, missed some of my favourite parts…Guess I was tired. When it got done we called it a night. [Pizza Boy stayed two nights in a row. *grins* Yesh, I am mental. *laughs*]

Wednesday:
I have to take Todd home today…He has to go back to the drudgery of work. Blah. *burns down B.C.P.* Besides, he’s probably getting bored around here anyway. Right now I’m letting him get a bit more sleep…As Harley invaded the bedroom last night and drove Todd out to attempt sleep on the chair cushions on the living room floor. *ties Harley up and tosses him in a closet* I love that little boy dearly, but sometimes he needs tied down.

Well…Suppose I should finish this up…Get it posted…Think about getting dressed, getting the Critters motivated…& getting Todd home so he can get ready for work.
I think he’s got next Monday & Tuesday off [I wish he could get Fridays off, as that is the one day I’ll have off during the week once school starts. *kicks Urman for his stupid scheduling*

*wanders off*
