ericka is moved in and makes hummus!

so i now live in my own apt. and that is very nice. it turned out very nice. it's all in sage green, white, and some black. it works. i'm getting another bookcase tomorrow. my old crate and barrel one. lovely.

i am on my summer break right now, but i start summer school may 29. which is good. it'll give me something to do this summer and i sometimes like learning. right now i am on my summer vacation. but it is more like home-fix-upness. i like that stuff though, fixing and organizing, decoration. greg's been a big help. he takes out the trash and puts on my showerhead and stuff like that. he's better at folding laundry and washing dishes.

i baked cookies from scratch about twos ago. i blame my oven and my un-measuring skills for them. they are good, just not cookie texture. the orange-raspberry ones are like mini-breads with caramlized orange rinds on top and the sugar cookies are like chewy-sugary-buttery goodness. but no cookie texture.

i also made hummus today. and that turned out goooood. spicy and great.

2 cans of drained chickpeas
some spicy mustard.
like a billion cloves of garlic
and 1/2 of lemon
oh, olive oil

yea, didn't use tahini. oh well.

greg and i bathed olive again tonight. she was very good except for when she decided she had had enough and tried to climb out over me. i proceeded to get soaked.

we drove around looking for houses tonight. not for us. for greg and his roomate and our friend robert. that is fun for me. i love looking at houses.

and then we watched the Dog Whisperer for awhile.
speaking of dogs,
olive now knows "sit." did i already mention that? well, she does. that's great. she's only 3 1/2 months and knows sit!
