Pleasurable



i had a wonderful day yesterday. i didnt do anything that most would consider wonderful or amazing. to some it might seem a normal, uneventful day. i found it quite the opposite.

mom and i texted from a our bedrooms, to start the morning off. she asked about coffee and breakfast... teased me a bit. the night before, i had decided that i would make scones to go with coffee the next morning. they turned out pretty good! although i really couldnt taste them much myself. my nose is still stuffy, which made it so i could only taste so much of it. that so much, was very little. i brought the scones to my parents, who sat in bed with holly. i love bringing them drink and food in bed. i dont know why. it just gives me a pleasurable feeling.

the moments following were spent cleaning the kitchen, talking with a friend over coffee, and getting ready for the day. at some point we decided that a target and starbucks run was in order.

target was a quick trip. in and out in less that 20 min. since we were next door to coehlos music store, we decided to get some new strings for his guitar (which needed changing really badly). of course, when we got back to my house, i ended up breaking one of the strings while trying to tune them, after putting on the new set.

i tried a new flavor in my misto; cinnamon dulche. it was so good! i think i like it better than toffee nut (my regular flavor). i think that cinnamon dulche will be my new regular. we stopped off at the used clothing store to drop off a few bags of goods, as a favor to my mom, and coehlos to get another set of strings. had some lunch, and then relocated. where we played guitar and had tea with homemade ginger snap cookies while we watched a movie. it was such a nice day.

all these little things were just so pleasurable. they wouldnt usually stand out as pleasurable... but- yesterday it was especially nice. just another one of those quiet, simple days that catch your attention every now and again. that reach out to you, in the midst of pure chaos. a rest before the next weekly plunge.

So, basically I miss you alot. And I'm jealous of anyone and everyone who gets to hang out with you.

(: Lets figure out a good date to have a big movie night or something of that sort!

(Ooo I forgot to finish up the story I was going to write about your birthday, I have to send that to you. I think perhaps we should start writing letters again, and in each one, write about a new adventure that we go on together...you wrote the last letter though so I think I owe you.)

haha! i miss you too:)

we do need to get together... and very soon.

we should write letters again! we used to do that all the time. remember when we would give them to our moms, to give to the other mom, to give to us? haha! personal mail service. adding an adventure in with each letter sounds amazing to me! (however, despite the fact that we will be writing letters, it does not dismiss the fact that we need to get together:) oh no.)
