Soup of the Jour

[hedgiewan]

Still boxes everywhere. Nowhere to put anything else. Please, no more loveseat? Also, does anyone want an ugly-but-relatively-functional sewing basket? How about a pair of khaki stretch corduroys from the Gap? They are ostensibly a 12L, but all my other 12L's fit me and these don't, so I would say more like a 10L. Also a three-drawer rubbermaid thingydo. It's white and about a foot cubed. How about onea' them double window-fans? Or, I don't know, some crap. Take it off my hands. Pleeeeease.

This one, Mom, I blame on you. If something is still useful to someone, I can't possibly throw it away. I can't even just put it out in the alley and hope someone will take it. Fuck, it took me two years just to get to the point where I could throw out plastic zipper bags, and that is mostly because I don't have a good way to dry them unless I wash a wooden spoon at the same time. I BLAME YOU.

Also, why does Medica send me these "explanation of benefit" letters every time I even think about going to the Dr? How much paper do I really need in my life?! Just for them to tell me that my health insurance is absolutely worthwhile, but that if I want to appeal their decision to pay for everything, I should call the number listed below.

Meg and Brixton and I were supposed to have knitting tonight, but I think I did more rows on the bus home than I did this evening. We got to Meg's about 7:30, got mauled by her "cat," and were informed that there was no food and she hadn't eaten and maybe we'd like to go to this new pub by her house. It's on Selby at Fairview, called the Blue Door, and they have excellent food, quite reasonably priced. But also, not a ton of room. Also also, big TV's set to the Twins game. So it took a hell of a long time for us to get a place to sit. But it's a nice place. They have juicy lucys made with bleu cheese and garlic. And beer-battered green beans. And "soup of the jour." Which is either funny or depressing.

I don't like the fact that my lips are already chapped, or that my skin has a white sheen from being too dry, or that we seem to have skipped "the sun sets at 8" in favor of "the sun sets at 7," but I love that I get to wear sweaters and sleep with my comforter and that the sumac on 94 has gone all glorious on us.

But I'm totally going to freeze my butt off in the Boundary Waters, because Dan and I are going again in 2.5 weeks. Brave or stupid? EP 16, Moose River N. Probably have to wade the whole river, but Nina Moose sounds good. We'll see how far we get from there. I think we're taking the canvas tent with the stove. Heated tent. FTW.

the hedge abides.

a-HEM. I seem to remember that once upon a time you had to hide your pants from me so I wouldn't abscond with them. And once you held a dress of mine for ransom on your jeans. And I now wear a 10L thanks to years of living with the meanest personal trainer on the face of the planet. If you don't find a home for your pants, they would be very happy living a new life in Texas.

Speaking of absconding, may I abscond with your icon? I'm desperately in love with it. I swear I have cred, I worked at an apiary once.

[hedgiewan.livejournal.com]

Perfect. I have a couple other little things to send you. Verify your current address for me, and I'll get the CD's burned and send the whole mess out to you.

And I definitely remember that. There was even talk of leaving me with the dress for good, which would have been pretty traumatic, since those were my favorite jeans and that was my favorite t-shirt.

That was a truely excellent evening.

I'll take the little drawer thing off your hands. I have the same problem with ever throwing anything useful out. And it needs organizing!

[hedgiewan.livejournal.com]

You know were I live. If you come get it, I'll give you a beer, too.

Since it's all my fault, I'll take the double fan. And maybe Saturday or Sunday we can take the love seat to your brother -- I think it'll fit in the back of our car.

[hedgiewan.livejournal.com]

Ellie says that it will fit in the back of her car (obviously with the hatch still open), so it should fit in the Saab just fine.

I'll stick the double fan in Sputnik's trunk. There are some computer boxes in there, too. Also, my storage space contained some heavy duty boxes that were yours, like the one from your white and gold china. Do you want those back?

Brixton and Meg and I were talking last night about how nearly all of a person's personality traits can be traced back to one's parents. I think it started because I kept getting distracted by the baseball game last night, when M&B couldn't care less, and couldn't parse what was happening even if they did care. So there's stuff to blame on Dad, too. :)

we can pick up the love seat too. Thurs (maybe) or Friday (definitely)?

[hedgiewan.livejournal.com]

I'm going over to Dan's on Friday. Thursday would work.

blue door???!?? Please please please tell me that they didn't close Puerta Azul and make a pub out of it! The location you're describing is where Puerta Azul is, and they have the most FANTASTIC Puerto Rican food.

[hedgiewan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they did. I couldn't remember Puerta Azul's name, so I couldn't be more specific.

It's sad.

Go to your insurance's website or call them. Almost all insurance companies can turn off paper EOBs now. Perhaps you have to sign up for their email version or whatever but you can probably turn them off.

It wouldn't be so bad, except that this five-shot series of rabies shots is really driving them wild. But less paper would be nice- I'll look into that.
