I woke up quite refreshed after last night's inexplicable turmoil. My boyfriend loves me even when I don't make sense, which is very good.
I had to drive to Green Hills this morning to get a flu shot (complements of Bread and Company). It rained all day yesterday and I managed to dash outside mid-afternoon to roll up my windows. It didn't let up all night, so my seats were still soaking wet this morning when I went out there; I knew they would be so I brought out two garbage bags with me -- one to protect my jeans, one to protect my shirt. It worked well, but the humidity inside the car was such that my lousy defrost was totally unable to keep the windshield defrosted. I was constantly wiping away the condensation and sorta hunkering down as low as I could since the bottom of the windshield was clearer than the top. It was an adventure, and pretty dangerous too since a couple of my tires are almost bald.
Exciting, huh? I need a new car really badly. I wish I had some money to buy one. My Aunt Luci used to send us $50 savings bonds every year, and I figured out that mine are worth almost $300 right now -- not enough. Only one is near maturity (2014); the rest still have 20 years or so to go.
After the flu shot (from which I am suffering no symptoms, by the way...not even sore unless I touch it), I came straight home where I proceeded to slowly clean the apartment. It looks much nicer now. After cleaning the kitchen, I made a dark chocolate cake from Martha Stewart's recipe (the Food magazine Mom got me for my birthday last year). The cake is cooling in the kitchen now, and the ganache is in the refrigerator also cooling. It's not quite spreadable yet. I don't think I've ever made a ganache frosting, actually. We'll see how it turns out. The picture is beautiful....
I have Amelie on now as background noise, which it's perfect for since everything is in French.
It's only 1:30 now and I have no idea what I'll do with the rest of the day. Matt and I might end up going to Murfreesboro to see a friend of his. That might be enjoyable. We'll see.

First, I love your new page style (?). Second, I would die and become a ghost to hover to your apartment right now to eat cake. Although, I'm not quite sure ghosts CAN eat cake. Third, you always make me miss you. Start making entries about how horrible everything in Nashville is, and how you would much rather be someplace like Memphis. Okay, maybe that is a little too much.
