At Last

February 23, 2007

I know. It’s been awhile. It happens. I’m sure you all survived just fine without my blog for a little while.

Meanwhile, crazy things have been happening in the cleaker household (yes, cleaker is a combination of our last names AND our new nickname among some of our used-to-be-best-friends).

1. Adam has a small problem of laughing at me when I get hurt. I am naturally clumsy so this has been something we’ve been working on for quite some time now. I’m telling you this because it reached an all-time low on Tuesday when we went to a Mediterranean Restaurant for lunch. We were having a perfectly lovely lunch with my parents when Adam and I decided to throw out our trash and dispose of our trays. A reasonable plan until Adam dropped a small cup of Tahini sauce (think white cream sauce) onto the floor. Rather than spilling all over however, the Tahini sauce flew up in bubbles and landed first on my forehead, then in my hair (three bubbles landed there) and then down the front of my jacket. It was amazing. It all happened in slow motion and set Adam laughing so hard I had to drive home. Hillarious. You might not be able to tell, but I am still laughing …
2. We sold our car. Finally. We are a one car family. This has improved our financial situation drastically and made life far more enjoyable for me as I get to watch Adam scramble around and realize he didn’t think far enough ahead to say he needed the car for such things as Valentine’s Day presents until the night before when then he must rush out in time to be back to go workout before the gym closes. It’s all very frantic and amusing from my vantage on the couch. I think this shall be an interesting experiment.
3. I went from the most lame semester (required Jan term class) to the most hectic semester ever. Literally I went from laying on the couch staring at the ceiling because I was bored out of my head to reading and working non-stop (hence the very long absence of blogging: first nothing to say but the number of speckles on my ceiling and then no time to say anything).

So. There you have a month’s worth of updates. Hopefully life will calm down from here on out so I can tell my exciting Tahini stories in a more timely fashion. But, if not, I’m sure you’ll understand and find more productive things to do with your time than staring at a computer screen. Off you go then.
