I had a pretty good weekend - it's a shame that it's not a three-day weekend, but I think I'll survive. I spent yesterday investigating what it would be like to be an adult - I met up with my landlord/real estate agent (Lou), and we looked at a few houses in Denver. I'm still the tiniest bit on the fence about both location and house type - I'm pretty sure that what I want is Option A (a single-family Victorian in Denver), but there are definitely appealing things about Option B (a townhouse-style duplex in Denver with new-build layouts and fancy finishes) or Option C (a single-family home in Louisville, where the neighborhood is probably super boring and I would have to drive to everything, but where I could get like 3000+ sq feet for the price of 1600 sq feet in Denver).
However, I have heard my downstairs neighbor's girlfriend giggle for like twenty minutes straight just now, so maybe sharing a wall isn't worth it no matter how nice the finishes are. Also, I really like being able to walk to stuff (although [censored] pointed out that I just bought an Audi - did you all know that? - so maybe I could drive to more things). So I think the single-family house is probably the way to go....but we'll see.
So we looked at three places yesterday - a duplex that was really well finished but in a not-so-great location (and without a main-floor bedroom); a Victorian that was so bad that I laughed the entire time I was in it; and another Victorian that I actually really liked and might have made an immediate offer on if I didn't think I was being hasty by offering on the third house I toured (and also the bedrooms are tiny... I could turn one into a closet, but it wouldn't leave much room for future expansion). The location of the third house was a big selling point, but if there isn't room for all of my shoes, what's the point in being able to go out?
sssanyway, after looking at houses yesterday, I came home, talked to my mom, and then walked to Pizzeria Locale, where I indulged in some pizza and alone time before the rush. I also talked to [censored] and my dad, and then was so tired that I went to bed at ten and slept for over ten hours.
Today, I had to get up relatively early for a Sunday - I had brunch plans in Castle Rock with my friend Barbara. We went to Pegasus, which had an odd mix of Greek, Mexican, and American food - but my breakfast enchiladas were really tasty, and the coffee was good, so it hit everything I needed. It was wonderful to see Barbara - she spent a couple of weeks in India in January, and I was dying to hear about what she saw and how she felt and whether she loved it as much as I do (verdict: yes, but she also had all the crazy intense not-sure-if-I-like-this-or-if-this-is-the-worst-trip-ever moments that I've had before). We spent a couple of hours catching up on life, and it was exactly what I needed today.
On the way home, I stopped at Nordstrom in Park Meadows and returned some stuff, then got some different stuff. I also called Drewbaby, and we talked for quite awhile as I was driving home (and then as I was parked in my driveway / in my house). I then spent the rest of the evening eating leftover pizza, doing laundry and other house stuff, and taking care of a few annoying work tasks so that they aren't hanging over me tomorrow.
And now it's time for bed - goodnight!
