moving makes me crazy

and i keep putting it off. larissa and i avoided it yesterday by shopping downtown. i found a p.j. o'rourke novel i have yet to read and a book written by eugene mccarthy. it is no wonder i like my poli-sci courses, i have politics on the brain even at the bookstore. today has been another successful avoidance of packing. i mostly pouted in my room and racked my brain as to what we will do if joshua loses funding. then joshua called to say funding came through for the month and he wanted help making a splinter removal kit for the investors who have been sitting on the fence for 5 months. i wrapped the packages up with ribbon and included hand lettered name tags. these sort of antics should really not be encouraged but i could not help it; i thought it was funny. let us hope joshua never finds my blog because i told him it was childish and not funny.
andy and larissa stayed for dinner last night. we made andy cook and we chatted the entire time. i fixed bread pudding for dessert and helped andy find everything in the kitchen. we started around 7 and spent the entire evening having a great time. it was a reminder of how good it is to have friends. joshua even commented on how good of a time he had. with that success it is hopeful that we can start leading a more normal life with friends and evenings spent laughing.
