So.
Last weekend was busy.
I spent Saturday at my PhD’s house – cooking of all things! We had a cooking class/party with all the folks from work. There was ethnic cooking on the part of those who have actual ethnic heritage (kung pao chicken, wonton soup, spring rolls rolled by hand, tiramisu, steamed pork meatballs….) and just generalized cooking from those of us who have no ethnic heritage (I made black bean soup). It was six hours long and more fun than I had feared. But still not the best way to spend Saturday – a little too much craziness I think.
Sunday we went to Green Valley and delivered Sophie (our foster dog) to her foster-to-adopt home. Seems like a potentially good match (assuming Sophie can get on some happy OCD meds…) We also had Jimmy John’s. I love Jimmy John’s. Someday, someone will open one in Phoenix. But for now, I’ll settle for having to drive to freakin’ Tucson for my Beach Club.
This coming weekend will be even busier!
We leave at about 4am on Friday morning (Thursday night) to drive Levi (someone else’s foster dog) to his adoptive home in Las Vegas. We will also have Mr Dog with us as we leave from Vegas to go to Sacramento, CA where we are going to meet the puppy mentioned in the previous post (tentatively named Ripley – get the humor there? I am very clever with dog names, you know).
I’d like to say that we’re going to meet the breeder and ask all the right questions and all that jazz. But I’m already in love with little Miss Ripley the Ripper – she’s freakin’ adorable. AND! And! And, her mother’s name was Cheyenne which was the name of my dog who died when I was in high school. It is fate? Nah. Probably just chance but human brains look for patterns and this is one pattern I like.

I’m nervous because what if we hate living together, or I can’t find a job… I’m just waiting for something to go wrong, I guess since I’m happy right now.
I already told iuri i would do the shopping, because he only buys pepperoni and bread. since i like other things and will most likely be doing the cooking because i like it, i will do the shopping. plus, i like to go shopping. and that’s what i told him i will pay for since i like healthy food, not just cold cuts every meal. we’ll each have a bathroom, which we will each clean. we will set aside saturdays for cleaning the other rooms. we talked about some of the stuff, but the rest he said we can just talk about later when i get there with all my stuff. (like where to put all my massive amounts of crap)
Jimmy Johns Rocks. I *love* the beach club. I was so happy when they opened one up here in town so I don’t have to drive over 1/2 an hour to get one now. Mmmmm! How strange they’d have one in Tucson but not in Phoenix. Good luck with Ripley.
