finally some sun!
so, the weather is getting warmer and the days are getting longer . . . in fact, yesterday was my only day off this week and i wanted to sleep in. but since the sun is coming up before 6 am it was so bright in my room that i actually had to close the curtains!today it was supposed to be near 80. it was gorgeous. i worked all day inside. no one came to the cafe to eat . . . it was slow . . . everyone was outside in the sun! so that's awesome for them, but a bit poopie for me because i need the cash to get plane tickets to fly home for my sister, sara's, wedding.
so, i've been working a ton - 5 days at the cafe this week! and i've been doing massage every thursday all month. i love it! today i printed off some of my photos to frame and put up in the room. the room needs a bit of help in the decoration department. i'm trying to decide what sort of feel i want to invoke and how to do it cheaply. i have to do it in stages since i don't have a ton of money right now. so, printing off pictures was a great idea! 19 cents each! put them in some frames i got at the craft store (on sale!) and you've got decorations for under $10!
jon is officially headed in to "reading week" which is the week before finals here at brown. after finals week, jon will be done with classes. forever. hard to believe since he's been taking classes as long as i've known him. now he will only be doing research, writing and teaching . . . for 2-3 more years. but no more classes. ever. this is a mile marker. wow.
our roommate got engaged! yay! he and his lady-friend will be getting married at the end of the summer. so we are on the lookout for a new roomie . . . any one interested in moving out to providence for a while? hm? sounds fun, doesn't it? come hang out with us! we are good cooks and killer board game players!
tonight, tabitha (me) is going to an art opening at the non-profit she volunteers with (west side arts). it is called "the art of war" and will feature paintings from a local artist who served in wwII. we will have live jazz and food and drinks . . . fun fun fun!
this week, jon and i also went to a rally at the state house speaking out against human trafficking for the sex trade industry right here in our tiny state. i also said goodbye to the little girl i watch as she and her mum went to spain for a month. jon went to the farmer's market today and bought a little organic basil starter plant. we are excited to start growing some food soon! our friends offered to let us garden at their house this spring/summer - we are looking forward to that! and jon helped the HGSA (history grad student association) host a conference here at brown. he was a moderator for one of the panels and got a lot of good feedback. my part of the conference? schmoozing with people at the after party. nice.
well, got to go get ready for the art show!
