What part of NO does she not understand?

(00:24:25) mom: Are you intersested in us buying a townhouse
(00:25:03) HolYTOasTR: truthfully, i don't want to buy something that would tie me down to a certain place. i'll only be working at this job for 2 years at most, and then i'll probably move closer to my new job
(00:25:22) HolYTOasTR: if i had to pay off a townhouse, i'd be stuck with it for a long time
(00:25:31) mom: Then you would sell it and have a profit
(00:25:50) mom: it would never lose value
(00:26:15) HolYTOasTR: it jsut doesn't fit into my life right now. i don't feel comfortable with it
(00:26:43) mom: well we will talk about it. It's a great investment in your future

And then she told me she and dad are visiting me in the next few weeks. But won't tell me when. DOOOOM! She can't come here! All my plans will be ruined! *cries*

(no subject)

Today was the Reston town fair. I'm obsessed with town fairs. Ben was wonderful and went with me. :) We got a free map, signed a petition, and ate a waffle. All in all, a very successful adventure.

Now we are trying to sleep, but my keeps waking us. Someone was moving in, I think, and she was barking so much. The noise finally stopped, so maybe I can go back to sleep.

He deserves more praise than I could ever give him

I have the most wonderful boyfriend ever. I don't think he has a selfish bone in his entire body! :)

And um, to avoid making this into a goofy girlfriend post....I shall post about stuff!

Um, took noname for a walk. She very happily chased a chipmunk down a drain pipe. Then she tried to climb into the pipe as well. Fortunately, only her head will fit. (There are advantages to having a fat dog after all.) I told her that if she kept sticking her head in there the chipmunk would bite her, but she didn't listen to me. Eventually she got bored and we continued on our way.

Maybe it was the lighting on the path but all these bugs started to bounce off my head! It was crazy! I'd hear an incoming buzz and then feel a thud on the top of my head. The bug would then fly off. And it kept happening! I don't know why! Eventually it was getting too icky for me to stand, do I told noname we had to go home.

I'm going to start cooking dinner now. Scalloped potatoes!
