I walked into the co-op today and got some tastey lunch, and i saw the mysterous girl, that I was beginning to think was a figment of my imagination. i saw her a few times some summers ago. She came in once with her girlfriend wearing a little hawk and a bikini top. i was working the "10 items or less" line. she bought butter and tampons. she said to me "i like to buy butter and tampons." you don't need to explain that to me, girl. Anyway, so now she works in the produce dept. and I was having lunch and thinking about thinking about smiling at her, when i noticed that the lovely tune "honey in the honey pot...." was on. mmmmmm.
glad to say i took advantage of the 60 degree weather today and tapped maple trees for syrup today. what a day to be out in the woods.
starting all over again.

saturday evening in the berkshires, blizzard is on the way. things are looking up.
i had a near-breakdown last night, tho. something about no plans on friday night, the paper that was not writing itself. i twisted my ankle (very minor) hiking up monument mountain on tuesday. or rather, while running down it. note to self: no matter how cute they are, it's never a good idea to chase after boys. so anyway, teh sore ankle has kept me from the gym this week, and i miss running. and climbing. i really wanted a friend to go out and have french fries and beer with at the brewery, but to no avail. sigh. i watched the opening ceremonies of the olympics instead. i was actually impressed with their ability to draw out maybe ten minutes of entertainment over at least 3 hours.
today, as i said, is looking up. i took myself out to breakfast at the roadside, always a welcome distraction. then went up to lenox, where i gave my valentine/party invite to garrett, and actually got half a paper written. now i'm snuggled up with my kitties, soon to be headed out on what might be a date. ah saturday night.

I'm not sure who (if anyone) reads this thing anymore, but here goes:
today was a wierd and wonderful day. I woke up early to go to the ceramics studio, and quickly stumbled into the grey and blustery sunday blues. with a big side course of missing the ex-boyfriend mopes. not judd, of course, not a sentiment left there, but the old capitol "b" Boyfriend, "Ben". There is this thing that I do, when I have a buise, I keep poking at it, like every minute and a half, wondering, "does it still hurt? ,... how about now? and now?". yes i'd like to see you. no, i can't remember what was so bad that i had to leave. yes, please, please come to my valentine's day party... bring your beautiful new girlfriend. i ended up making a "i don't want to get over you" mix, which was immediately followed by a "but i gots to" mix.
the day was not completely pathetic, as bad as that sounded. I ended up spending a few good hours in the ceramics studio. time, it flies in there. last night i helped unload all our glazed pieces from the kiln. My stuff came out ok, but not i know that the salt glazes are not quite as cool as i wished them to be. also, the star globe is almost ready to be glazed, and this will be very exciting. i'm even getting good ideas for how my pieces should be presented for the critique. now i remember why i like taking studio arts classes.
yesterday i went to Laura and Josh's yurt warming party. ah, to have what laura has, done with school, her own home, fiancee to love her, plans for the next year..... it's making me think seriously about hiking the AT next year. . . just have to get though the next few months, finish my thesis, graduate, manage not to get too sidetracked by the handsomest underclassman. oh, my little crush.... would that we could run away to a cabin in the woods.
i am soooooo looking forward to winter break. two weeks to go. will need to accomplish some serious thesis writing over break, since i don't see much of it happening tonight, or this week. i'm really trying to stick by the simple guidelines of sleeping 9 hours, eating 3 meals, going to the gym, generally taking care of myself, in the hopes that doing so will make the rest happen. thinking about adding to that a vow of abstinence. definately a no-relationship oath. just, you know, leave a little room for makin out and spoonin. should probably put a stop to cloudy-judgement nights if there are to be more good times ahead.

this looks like fun:
you start with a bunch of snow
keep working at it
put on the top
and you get your very own igloo. and i pretty much want to marry this guy:
he does fun things like experiment with different cheap and easy ways to build igloos all the time

dear friends,
i would like to tell you all that last night i gave up my boycott of the shower. yes. i bathed. i had justified swimming as "clean enough" for too long.
tee shirt idea/ my general mood:
i'm horny, you're pretty
one gardening job + another gardening job = a sweet tan and many bucks in the bank. finally. now i can pay that speeding ticket.

The cat and I are having major conflicts. She is now huge and going through some kind of adolescent "rebellion" thing. She doesn't want to be touched and only bits me all the time. This morning a killer squirrel was climbing on the screen of my bedroom window, which is creepy enough, and the it made her go all crazy on me. operation 'trim those claws' is underway.
Yesterday was my wonderful day off. We went to tag sales, we worked in the garden, we made a wonderful BBQ dinner... Hello memorial day weekend, hello new york tourists. we had a minor run in with a stupid new jersey bitch and her husband, who actally got out of the car to talk smack. anyway, it was a perfect day because we did everything that i wanted to do on my day off.
Today I'm working and it is going to suck. I stopped in this morning to get a paper and there were like 15,000 people spilling coffee and flowers all over the place and making those tired of waiting sounds. hhhhrrrmmf.
Boy o boy. Laundry must be done on a large scale. doing one load so i have some clean socks was a good idea the other day, but my whole entire floor is coverd with every scrap of fabric i own.
amazing discovery of today: if you are messing with your spices and you say to yourself. "is this paprika or chilli powder?" DO NOt just dip your pinky in and taste a little. it will be awful.
i realized that i am ordering way too much food everytime i go to the roadside. i order the roadside sampler: two pancakes, bacon, french toast, and an egg. all i really eat is a pancake and some bacon. eating one scambled egg is like swallowing air, and i push the rest off on ben. you learn something everyday.
did i mention that our new neighbors have two of the cutest dogs ever made? uh huh, they do. they have a doberman named Nakita, and a tiny chiuaua named lola. normally i do not like the small dogs so much (except for yorkies and sometimes pomerainians, but only because they look like something you picked out of your pocket) but this little lola is the cutest. she comes over and gives me kisses sometimes. she is super small, even for a small dog, and she tries to tounge kiss me.
last night my landlord asked the dreaded question..... whether i will be living here in the fall. yikes. so many things to fiure out.
anyone want to comeover for a romantic-scented bath and some chocolate cake?

It has been so long since I last posted that it took me a second to find the 'update journal' button.
Some cool things have happened to me recently. I got a job at Taft Farms. It is a cool farm with a farmstand/country store/bakery/grenhouse. I work at the register and also in the greenhouse. I like the greenhouse better because I only have to talk to flowers and not to obnoxious new yorkers. I like my job. The manager of the farm (or as I like to call her, the overseer) is a plump old Texan lady named Penny. She calls me Katie. I work there pretty much every day.
In other news:
Ben and I broke up and got back together. Things seems to be going pretty sweet now. I have a date with him for lunch today. I have to do at least one load of laundry before I go, becuase I have no clean clothes or towels. My room is pretty much a catastrophe. I still have not finished painting it. I have a day off on Tuesday. Maybe I'll do it then.
More likely I will be in my super-cool backyard. ok,. It's now super-cool yet, it's just a mess, but once I put a bit more work into it, the garden will be so cool that you and all your friends will want to come hang out in it. Serrisouly, though, i have big plans. I'm planting flowers, make the yard have grass again, landscaping with rocks, and I have a cool old metal table that I will fix up and put down there with some of the cool old chairs I have been painting. Jamie is really into the idea of putting a projector out there so we can watch movies.... but this does not really fit into my 'country/trendy' garden plan. Also, i think that she has no idea what that sort of thing costs.
Friends, tell me: When i save up a little money, what do I want more, an iPod or a digital camera?
My goal for this month is to learn a little bit about web design. As you can see, I currently know less than nothing. www.simons-rock.edu/~kvo
