Three days…

…to Coachella! I am quite excited, although it looks like Normen will probably bail on me. So, it looks like it will just be three of us going, which will be ok, but less than ideal. Since it involves taking two days off of work, I doubt there will be anyone else who will want to go with us. Ugh.

Anyway, I have quite the old-skool domestic night: After I got back from the gym, I cooked a delicious pesto pasta and veggie dish. I even opened up a bottle of wine to go with it (over half-way through it now!). Then, I finally made my favorite apple cake with the apples that have been in my fridge forever. I am muchly looking forward to it coming out of the oven. The only thing I am worried about is that I ran out of white sugar, so I had to use brown sugar, which I know will affect the texture. But I am sure that it will be delicious.

I usually don't open a bottle of wine or bake because I end up eating and drinking too much. Also, being drunk and on a sugar rush isn't as much fun alone. But tonight, what the hell.

If I were blogging a year ago

Through some Flickr browsing, I ended up reading this blog. I thought, "hmm, I might have written something similar to this if I had been blogging a year ago." And then I read this part:

I still truly care about Elijah and his family. They are all still important people in my life, and I hope and pray that Elijah and I will continue to be friends. We still have many of the same mutual friends, we still take many of the same classes–we may even still end up going to the same college.

And I realized, "Holy crap, this girl is in high school!"

Poking around her blog and pictures, I started to wonder, "Is she just an interesting, articulate high-schooler, or I am still acting and writing like a high-schooler? My blog and pictures aren't even this good."

I guess it doesn't matter. Anyway…Erin, I think you are pretty cool.
