like a bhunny

Friday night was grand. GRAND, I tells ya.

However, I am now officially over-socialled. Andrew and I have agreed that we will visit no one and have no one over for one entire week. Today 'til Saturday the 28th, inclusive.

Even visiting with good people can get to be too much. Especially when there's so much I want to do.

A whole week, I know, I know, that's NOTHING, but it should be enough for me to feel like I'm back into the lisa-groove.

Yesterday the work picnic was rained on, HARD. So my coworker and I stayed only for 2 1/2 hours. I came home and had a nap, and that was really, really good.

They even had veggie burgers! So I had veggie burgers and fruit salad and sat across from some guy who "used to be vegan for 5 years" and wouldn't tell me why he stopped, as he chowed down on a burger and sausage. Ah, whatever. You make your own choices.

This morning we got up early, I don't really know why, and we're starting cooking the chickpeas, and we ate Indian Corn Pudding (I didn't put the sugar in, so I should have decreased the salt, but I'll do that next time - we just garnished with some maple syrup instead), and our plan is to go to bed once the chickpeas are going, and have a lovely lazy Sunday nookie session.

yes please!

we saw a guy we used to live with last night who, for the entire time i knew him, was super-hardcore straight edge. like, so preachy about it all the time. he was drinking a beer. i just about fell over. i think a lot of people who start eating meat again feel guilty about it and dont like to talk about it.

i am feeling completely over-stimmed on socializing right now, too! i am jealous of your week of hermit living. i have plans right up to until after labour day! OI!

hooray for lazy sunday nookie sessions!

does this mean you'll want a break after that and I shouldn't make plans to have you guys over?

I still want you and yours to see our place. I'd been sort of thinking kinda maybe Friday Sept 3. for dinner... but of course, hadn't said anything to YOU GUYS since we just decided about the hermit thing...

Anyway, if you'd prefer a break, we could do it the weekend after labour day, or something.

OH and when are you going to the PNE? Because maybe we could go with, maybe?

grrl, you are new in my life, so you don't know this...but i have been holed up in this house, with these kids, and maybe got out to visit and had parties twice a year, for three years leading up to this summer. am i tired from all the fun and frolic? oh yeah. do i really want it to end? hell no. bring it on. name the time and place. i want to be able to write "i came, i saw, i kicked ass," again and again in my LJ. i am the energizer bhunny, yo.

i'll talk to leon about the PNE. we chatted briefly about it yesterday, and he is not that enthused - it's expensive. maybe it will just be you two and me and the kids.

ok, well, that's fair. :P

Money is a large issue for us, too, so if the PNE is expensive (how expensive?) maybe we shouldn't do it? At the very least we can't go until September. *sigh*

well, i think it's only five or seven bucks to get in. but if you want to ride some rides it gets kinda spendy. an all day ride pass (that includes admission) is $25 per person.

Corn pudding recipe please!

I understand the need for downtime. If I don't get at least one day with no resonsibilities, I go MADLY.

I think as I get older, I get more introverted.
