revenaKaren's gone again. Two weeks seemed like forever at the beginning, but it turns out that it's still not enough time to do all the things we wanted to do. We did manage to get to one day of the book festival at the UofA, which was pretty fun (I know some of y'all were there, and I looked for you, but managed to miss you. Oops), and we went to the ren fair, too, and ate turkey legs. We painted the cabinets in the kitchen, and cleaned out a couple of boxes. We would have done more, I think, except that Karen's allergies were in full force and, in a stupid twist of fate, Jameson forgot to roll the garbage bin out for the trash pickup the Monday after we'd stuffed it completely full, so we had to avoid doing anything that might generate garbage for a week.
We also watched lots of shows. Jimmy and I learned to love Leverage, and we enjoyed the last few episodes of Avatar together. And then I inflicted Heroes on Karen, with hilarious results. She made several posts about it, which I will now link:
She also watches Kyle XY
More Fun With Science
Heroes is bruising my brain.
Badasses (which also has substance!)
I know other shows do research!
She tied me to a chaaaaaair.
Also, at some point in there we made![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
haunted_daily. Probably best not to click if you're at work, or have parents reading over your shoulder or something.
And there was gossiping and reading and hair-braiding (no, seriously - we actually did get around to doing each other's hair this time) and fart jokes, and now I miiiiiss her again. Boo.
Jimmy and I went to Target last night and he bought me a hammock, though, so that's nice (we also had a tasty dinner, because it was his birthday! Which we will celebrate more properly on the weekend, when it is not also St. Patrick's Day, because neither of us is a fan of drunken crowds). I hung it up just now, and only fell on my butt twice while I was adjusting the height and all.
But a hammock is not the same as a best friend. Even though it is more comfortable to flop down on top of. Slightly.
