Revised random snippet entry!
Moving
We finally sold our house just the other night, so we'll be leaving around September 1st. Problem is, the condo won't be ready til December or January, so we need to find a place to stay during the fall. My parents are looking into a few options. I guess they know someone who may let us lease a small, already furnished house that's relatively close to where we live now (New Rd). Otherwise, my parents would like to just get a small, one-bedroom apartment somewhere closer to North Smithfield.
Yeah, I said one-bedroom.
I'm basically being kicked out for those few months. :
Living With Rich?
Maybe? Well, what other option do I have?
We talked about this briefly yesterday; I guess that the lease he has on his current apartment runs out right around September, so he, his brother, and I *could* look for a larger place. I wouldn't mind that set up, but I do feel bad that I wouldn't be able to contribute an equal share of the rent. I would clean though-- I swear! ;)

Thank you, Matt, for originally suggesting the idea! We all had a good time, so it's too bad that we haven't gotten a chance to hang out together much in recent times. *And* it's sad that you're probably leaving us soon, but I suppose that finding a job where you planned to be living anyway is a good thing. :)
Oh, and the cheesecake was delicious. I wish I had been able to finish my slice! Some competitive eater *I'd* make, hehe.
I also guess this means I'll never be eating 10,000 calories in one day, right Rich? ;)
10,000 calories?!
Haha, yes! I got this random idea one day that I wanted to TRY eating that much in one day. . .just to see if I could. You'd figure that just loading up on cheesecake and B&J's and maybe dinner at some Mexican restaurant would do the trick, but every combination I could think of didn't even come CLOSE to 10,000. That is an absolute freakload of food, haha.
Today, however. . .
If I were graded on Eating for today, I would only get a D-. A D if you were feeling generous. I just wasn't hungry, so it's doubtful that I had even 1,000 calories. Then I had coffee, too, and so now my stomach feels totally fucked up. Not to mention little food + crashing from caffeine during the last hour of work = completely unproductive Erica. It was bad. I feel like I let Chris down by not even finishing my usual tasks when I had plenty of time. :(
I really should know better. . .that same equation always leaves me unable to function. I used to pull this shit at school every Monday a few semesters ago (when I fell back into lovely ED-ness) and one of my professors actually pulled me aside for a chat because she was concerned about me. So embarrassing. But that's another story for another day.
2nd NYC Trip
My Mom and I had been planning to go to NYC in early July for months. My Dad's going away for National Guard stuff and Rich is going to visit his relatives in Texas during that first week, so we figured it would be a good time for us to go on a little day trip. I was pretty happy because I've been wanting to go back to the City and my Dad even offered to give us some $$ so I wouldn't have to spend any of my own.
In a *perfect* world. . .
As I almost assumed would happen, my Mom barged into my room this morning and just flat out said "I think we should wait until after we move to go to NYC." I was like "What? Why??" My Mom, who has been cleaning and packing OBSESSIVELY since we sold the house was like "I have so much to do, I can't afford to waste a day!" HELLO, we still have TWO MONTHS. ONE DAY is not going to make a difference!!! >:( But she couldn't be swayed otherwise. So hopefully, Rich, you and I can go sometime soon and finally check out those dinosaur bones, hehe.
People
Nick and I talked on AIM for the first time in a LONG time on Tuesday. ^__^ He's coming back to the US for a few days in July and would like to get together-- maybe go to the Mews or something. I'm quite happy about that because even before he and Chelsea moved to Japan, I hadn't seen him in awhile. Rich and I went to a few of their parties, but the only other time we talked was right before I went to Buffalo last summer, for like 2 minutes outside of Stop & Shop, haha.
I also have to email Jen, my friend from practically all the History classes I've taken. The last time I saw *her* was in early May, at her graduation party. We agreed to try and get together before she gets busy with grad school stuff in the fall. She always works like a billion hours a week-- even during the schoolyear, INCLUDING the semester we did our thesis. At that point she was taking a full course load, including said thesis, AND working at least 40 hours a week. I don't know how she did it, cuz if that had been me, people would have died. ;p
Other Stuff
I have two Brooks get-togethers coming up, and I'm bringing in a test-fruitcake on Sunday (which I'll be making tomorrow), so we'll see how that goes. The funny part about the fruitcake thing is that I haven't even worked with the girl who originally dared me since the damn fruit bits went on sale! She's possibly heard by now, but Chris said she's working on Sunday anyway, so she'll be there when it's unleashed. I so can't wait, haha.
Speaking of get-togethers, I know it's months away, but I am *considering* doing something small for my birthday this year. Maybe. It depends on a lot of factors, but just keep it in mind. :)
I think that's it. I'm not feeling too hot, but since I had coffee I'm bound to be up most of tonight.
Travis, I'll respond to your comments someday, hehe. Or maybe I'll catch you on AIM, who knows (yes, I did get your message this morning!).
Hasta luego!
