So after a fabulous weekend at the Texas Renaissance Festival (Mer and I had decided to run away and follow the Ren Faire, sort of like joining the circus, only cooler), I came home and, within ten hours, had two flat tires. My front passenger-side tire burst about forty feet from my driveway. I had to go and get roommie ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) supermer's cousin, who doesn't know me, from across the street to come help me change to my spare. I didn't know that I had a spare, but I did. I had a deposition in Clinton the next morning, and I was told I could make it on the spare if I got a new tire right afterward.
I didn't make it.
My spare burst on the highway, and I had to pull over and call tripleA and get towed to a tire place. Fun times.
But for some reason, my mood has dramatically improved since last week. I am really chipper today, notwithstanding the fact that I worked over twelve hours yesterday. (I had a deposition in Whiteville, two and half hours away. It started at 3:00 and finished at 6:30. I wasn't home until 9:00.) Today, however, I got off at noon. My inexplicable cheerfulness hasn't worn off.
I have pictures from the Texas Ren Fest (roommie's digital pictures). Can I post them here just from the CD, or do I have to get a website to host them? I don't know much about such matters.
And now, what you've all been waiting for: ( another of Holly's abstract musings! )

A post about sex
But before we get to the really interesting bit, let's have the news.
supermer and I have found a place to live! It's incredible. I never thought I'd have a place this nice as my first personal home. It's an apartment/townhouse that, as Mer's mom says, "is just like a house." It's huge. We have our own bedrooms and bathrooms, a huge sitting room, a dining room, a great kitchen, and two decks (one accessible from the dining room with a great glass door for storm watching and one accessible from our bedrooms). Mer's cousins, who own the place, have given us a break in the monthly rent and will charge us no deposit fees. Otherwise I'd never to be able to afford a place like this.
I am also incredibly fortunate in my choice of roommate. Mer's family had a lot of furniture in storage that they will let us use in our place. Mer's cute male cousin lives in one of these apartments too.
I am still on the lookout for a car. This need becomes more pressing and more frustrating each day. Dr. Webb and John Rose (for whom I am housesitting and carsitting) return in one week. I can't continue to drive their cars, but I need transportation to get to work. How does one buy a car when one has no cash, no credit, and has been working full time for only one month?
I continue to progress with cooking. Today I made beef stew. It's quite good, if I do say so myself. I got to use some of my cooking sherry. (The recipe called for red wine, but I didn't think I would be able to taste the difference. I already had the cooking sherry.) Tuesday Mer and I will make dinner for a whole party of Meredith women who are coming to visit at the Butterfly Cottage. It looks to be my last hurrah here. I have loved it and will miss it.
And now . . . ( Sex )
