i am procrastinating, but as creatively as possible.
I should do the dishes, pack, clean the house, make phone calls, etc. But it is late and i worked almost 12 hours today standing up the whole time and i hurt all over. So, i think it is ok to procrastinate, a little.
My favorite way f procrastinating at the moment is looking up cool stuff on the internet, checking people's blogs, and watching gourmet's diary of a foodie, which i have mentioned before.
The fun thing is, we are going to Belgium tomorrow to visit friends for the long weekend. And I should be excited about packing, but I have ti find a suitcase and empty it out first in order to be able to pack. And that means moving the bed frame from in front of the attic door and climbing up into the now growing dark attic and finding a suitcase, lugging it down the stairs, turning on the bottom step 180 degrees to deposit my disgusting attic only shoes on the top step so they don't come into the house. Then I have take out whatever is in it- winter clothes, a duvet, blankets, whatever else- and put it somewhere. Then I actually have to pack the things I want to bring, which require looking through my closet and actually making decisions about what i want to wear in two days time. Which I hate. I think packing for a short trip is worse than for a long one, because you don't want to bring too much and there fore have to plan ahead of time what to wear. The only thing I plan ahead of time is food, sometimes days in advance.
Like for my new job, for instance. I started cooking at a little health food store cafe today (not having anything to do with the other health food store or that cafe across the courtyard) at a farm. I made Zucchini Pancakes, pepper and eggplant sauce ( a la ratatouille), green salad, a big plum cake (german not english), and an apple wine cake. I had all of that planned last friday. Easy peasy. Clothing? not really.
But the important thing is we are going away for a few days and we are going to visit two dear friends who just moved to Brussels. And they are foodies, so we have, of course, already planned a large part of the menu. We're going to try dosas, he is going to make fresh Spaetzle, which I have not yet had, she is making a soup tomorrow night for which i should bring cilantro, and we are going out to breakfast, so that leaves only a few meals to maybe go out and eat something belgian, or give our bellies a rest and eat a salad.
Ok, enough procrastinating, time to pack the ingredients for dosas and rummage around up there in the waning light for a suitcase.....au revoir!
