Randomness
A week-ish ago Julia and I made the trek to Ann Arbor to wander and shop and pick up tons of delicious groceries from Trader Joe's. Everything I've brought back and tried so far has been nine kinds of awesome. Also, while we were there we stopped in an antique shop and I picked up and oodle of foreign coins because I am a dork. As far as the wandering around part went it was a welcome change to have the one white trash couple we saw be the ones who were horribly out of place. Even the homeless people were more cosmopolitan.

My roommate is going for a job interview in Cleveland this week. Long story: he and his girlfriend had been talking about moving there months ago, better job market, etc, etc. She had applied for some jobs, had an interview, didn't think she got the job, they accepted that they were staying here in the beege, 2 weeks ago she found out she got the job, she is moving to Cleveland this month, he may be moving to Cleveland as soon as next month. Living arrangement wise none of this affects me. Our lease goes to August, but my roommate is still paying his half even if he moves early, or moves half his stuff early, or whatever. I already resigned the lease months ago because I am lazy and do not feel like moving again already. So come August I will be sans roommate which will just give me more space to put my crap (a bedroom that is just a bedroom and not a bedroom/office/studio you say? Sign me up!). The whole thing affects me more at work (and also 2 of my friends are moving 2 hrs away) as this means the company is losing two managers.

I spent my day off today cleaning and cooking. Some friends from work (including the roommate and his gf) came over and I made dinner and drinks. I made a gigantic pan of lasagna as well as a peanut butter pie and a frozen mint-chocolate cheesecake. I did indulge (I took a little detour off of the Highway to Health, lol), but I sent most of the dessert leftovers home with La for her and her roommates. Hell, it was their complaints about eating pizza every night that prompted our impromptu dinner party. Guess I'll have to take the rest to work and pawn them off on people.

Meh, I have more, but I'm too tired to finish now. ZZzzzzzz....

Oh is that the peanut butter pie we had when I was there? If so, it should come with a warning label. "Highest concentration of calories in the known universe. Contact with this substance will cause immediate heart attack." lol, but it is tasty.
Sad to hear you're losing Steve. I bet you won't find a better roommate.

Indeed, it is the infamous pie, and it was delicious! Although I think the chocolate cheese cake may be worse on the calorie front. ;)
"Losing Steve" eh? He's not a set of car keys, lol. But, yeah, he got the job he interviewed for so he's probably going to be scampering off to Cleveland next month. Honestly, I think him not being around at work will be the weirdest cuz I've worked with him longer than we've been roommates.
