cathybites- Yesterday was the Mermaid Parade and the GGRD Jeerleaders marched in it for the second year. or, some of us marched, and some of us skated because we're awesome like that. I really like marching in it, but it kind of sucks in a way because you don't get to see everyone else. GGRD is also planning on being in the Pride Parade, so if you're going, keep an eye out for me!
- went on a date today and. meh. She was nice enough, but it was kind of like pulling teeth to talk. also, one of the only things she did open up about was how much she's into being healthy and healthy things and healthy lifestyle. meh. MEH.
- has anyone read the Crossroads trilogy by Kate Elliott? I started because I really liked her Spiritwalker trilogy (has anyone read those? come talk to me about how perfect Aldis Hodge would be as Andevai) and I just finished the second book. The first one was so...not really *difficult* to get through, but there were long stretched where I questioned why I was still reading. Not because it was poorly written or boring, but just because I had no idea where the book was going. It's like, there were a million different stories going on and for some reason they were jammed together in one book. The second one is kind of the same, but a) I'm more used to it now; and b) it is a bit more cohesive. (also, one of the things I love about her books is that white is not the default. Her stories are filled to the brim with characters of color.)
- a couple of months ago I signed up for one of those meal delivery plan things, and I kind of love it. or, less meal delivery and more pre-measured ingredients to cook meals plan. It's called Blue Apron, and if anyone wanted to try it out, I have invites for a free week (either for 3 2-person meals or 2 family-sized meals.) I don't get anything if you sign up, so this isn't some schtick. The regular price is $60/week, which may or may not be more cost efficient for you. It works for me because I only have myself to cook for, which basically meant I never cooked because I was constantly throwing stuff out because I never got around to it. So I was spending a ton of money on take-out. Plus, this has gotten me to try a bunch of stuff I never would have before - who knew I actually liked asparagus? anyways, if you're interested, msg me your email.
