Days 6-8
Sat. Showed houses for most of the day and went to a dinner for a collegue. A day without pop culture? Not totally – NPR was on in the car and I watched a new Idiot Abroad when I got home. It was awesome as usual. I have such a crush on Carl – what an adorable moron!
Sun. Another really busy day! I chaperoned a dance for the O.W.C. for 4 hours in the afternoon. I was super tired when I got home and couldn’t work out/work on R.E. or my taxes, as I’d planned. Instead, we went and grabbed Sgt. Pfeffers for dinner and watched some of the Puppy Bowl (Kitten Cuties half time was the highlight of the show for me).
Mon.
A.M. This is Ryan’s new Sunday for the time being, so, I try to take part of the day to spend with him as such. We went to Hy-Vee (locally owned supermarket) and had a leisurely, greasey-spoon breakfast. For no reason at all, they doubled Ry’s bacon order and my eggs order. It was rad.
P.M. I showed a couple of houses out West to an older client. Pretty Easy Breazy. Before that, Ry and I hit up Border’s. I bought An Object of Beauty by Steve Martin (I’m a huge fan of his other novels), Hell’s Angels by Hunter S. Thompson (I heard he wrote the last half of the book while high and drunk out of his mind) and the new Patton Oswald book, Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, which is supposed to be geniusly funny.
Later P.M. Every Mon. night in Feb. I’ll be teaching a relationships/boundaries class called Circles at the Ollie Webb Center. I’m pretty excited to have my favorite assistant teacher and a room full of students I’ve never taught before.
Late P.M. I will unwind with one of my guilty pleasures…will it be HBO’s Big Love (in its final season) or the Bachelor (I can’t believe I’m admitting to watching that crap)?
