The boys in PG have a new bulletin board up.
Reasons why to grow a beard.
In honor of No Shave November.
Their other white board reads:
location: nowhere
weather: 24 degrees
St Marys College of Maryland: Priceless 27,000 dollars
Yesterday went something along these lines
Laura: *thinking* hmm... i have no classes today
Craig: i have to go home for a doctors appointment. want to come?
Laura: Okay!
Laura and Craig get in the car and start driving
Laura: think we should tell your mom?
Craig: naaaah.
Laura: Good idea!
Driving driving driving...
Laura: omg this area looks terrible. lock the doors or something.
Craig: No this is the good part of town
Laura: no kidding?
Craig: yeah... this areas pretty nice actually.
Laura: *reading a sign on the side of the road*: "Need Bail?"
So despite the mildly frightening neighborhood...
We arrived safely at Craigs road. which was admittedly gorgeous.
He lives in like this little haven...completely devoid from "Need Bail?" signs!
So we drive down this adorable little wooded road and we pass his farm, but i say that i want to save touring the farm for this weekend. So his house is at the very end of the street, and its super cute and freezing cold.
And his mom is nice and doesnt even mind being surprised and takes me out to sushi for lunch which is like instant bonding because I love sushi. Plus she drives a prius and is an environmentalist times five thousand!! CHEERS! I give Craig a piggy back ride from the sushi place to the car because he only weighs three pounds.
His house is very farmish rustic historical looking and the furniture is lovely and antique-ie and they have the second best dog ever... (i have to stay loyal to happy of course) named Torque who is super friendly and lick-y and hugemongous. Craig believes his dog is some sort of epitome of intelligence, but i think he is just smiley and likes whining. Unlike happy, craig has a real dog which enjoys things like: going on runs.
And you can tell that boys live there and not girls because it is extremely different than my house.
There are no american girl dolls or barbies. no pink or yellow walls. there is no overflow of clothing laying around on the floor. There are no paint sets or drawing mats laying out on the floor. No one is repainting all the walls or pulling up carpeting. There are no flowy white curtains or vanities on the walls. There isnt any collectible clutter of jewelry and sunglasses which eats up all available surface area. Multiple cell phone chargers arent stretching across rooms. And no one is yelling at each other about needing space or borrowing clothing or when is the next time we are going to the mall or why cant i go to that sleepover tomorrow night?
In fact the only thing they had in common was that they have a really old, out of tune piano! which is very similar to ours actually, except theirs is probably in infinite better shape.
So after the doctors appointment me and craig take torque for a walk, and some neighbor on a lawnmower drinking beer and wearing plaid stops to turns off the motor as we walk by...
neighbor: AY...ay. are you Nora's boy?
craig: yeah. haha hey!
neighbor: I havent seen you since you was like this high!
Craig: yeah its been a while.
neighbor: so are you a senior at dematha now?
Craig: no actually i go to St marys college now.
Neighbor: Why? theres nothing to do there! my daughter is going to high school around there and know what she does for fun? SHOOTS STUFF.
Laura: oh wow. umm...
Craig: like trap and skeet?
Neighbor: yeah. cept she was gonna start a club at her high school and one of the other girls made fun of her and she just said " ill just shoot ya!" and everbody being so gun shy she got suspended.
Laura: well we have to go now, but it was nice talking to you!
so then we went back to craigs house, said good bye,
Craigs Mom: you guys should stop somewhere nice for dinner before you get home
Craig: want to go to wholefoods?
Craigs mom: I raised my boy well. Thats really romantic craig "hey hun, want to go to Wholefoods?!"
Laura: thanks criag
and then we drove to annapolis, where we window shopped at expensive stores like Brooks Brothers and Antrhopologie and bought two pizzas from whole foods. we only wanted one, but it was "two for the price of one tuesday"!! so we each got our own pizza and ate like one slice. AWESOME!
I am excited for this weekend, because i get to go to his house again and plus its his moms birthday!!
Now i have to go register for classes for second semester.
CHEERS
stay warm
