the weather is so fantastic! and surprising, rather like the weekend in general.
we had dinner with ella on friday night, and thought about going to movie or party, gut ended up drinking wine, getting sleepy, and calling it an early night, which was fine. she seemed more comfortable and the conversation was interesting. i think she might actually have some good leads for my thesis research. exciting!
i had an 8:30 am meeting on saturday morning (ugh) but as a result feel more prepared for the grant writing workshop i am conducting tomorrow night at my apartment. i think that is my last official duty as a staff member of the arts group. relief!
and i had lunch with old friend staci yesterday. i told her a bit about the talking j and i have been doing in regards to living together and marriage, and she was genuinely supportive and happy. i found myself a little nervous talking about it with her, because she has heard me use some of the same words before, but if i was able to convey even half of how different and happy and sure i feel, then she understands.
last night j and i went to a party hosted by rollick and cassielander. i am not sure i have been that comfortable around a group of strangers before. many of them are lj-ers, and were clearly smart, funny, friendly people. i think the game we played had a lot to do with it, or maybe the fact that the average age seemed close to mine or older, or that there was not much getting drunk going on. not that younger people or alcohol are bad, but this was unique and very fun. maybe i'll say more about this in a bit.
after the party we had every intention of going to home and to bed, but instead we were flipping channels and came across "the grifters". we watched THE WHOLE THING. it was just so absorbing! so sleep finally arrived close to 3:30 or so. heh.
j came to church with me today. he comes when i invite him to hear the choir sing, and it always means a lot when he joins me. i don't feel any desire at all for him to share my spiritual beliefs, i have total respect for how he feels and thinks about it. but i do like him having a chance to see what it is about for me, and a powerful choir anthem is probably the best example i can give him. it means a lot.
then we had brunch, and a balmy walk home, and kinky sex, and now i am planning to do a bit of reading for school and napping. with the windows open! bliss!
