on friday, i got off my butt

My persnickety roommate

I really wanted to pick up a pizza from Pizza Hut. But not just any old pizza. 

It would be a large, stuffed crust, cheesy pizza scattered with black olives. 

And maybe some green peppers. 

But hours earlier, I had come up with a cheaper & healthier solution:

a veggie burger w/the works (read: fresh lettuce, banana peppers, 

muenster cheese, as well as the usual duo, ketchup & mustard), 

pesto pasta, and pickles on the side.

yes!

But who wants to go to that effort?

It's Friday evening and I desperately wanted to be lazy

(does that make sense? Being "desperately" lazy? I didn't think so either).

But I was also lonely and bored

I'm still getting the hang of the whole being-by-myself-five-

afternoon/evenings-per-week thing.

The best medicine in the world (it ain't pretty) is doing something.

First I made a beeline for my stereo and popped in a CD. 

Bob Marley's soulful lyrics soon flooded the space.

No matter what anyone tells ya, if you're lonely, music helps a lot. For reals. 

And Marley is the ultimate in summer music.

And when I popped the first few pesto'd pieces into my mouth, 

mmmm, 

let me tell you, it was all worth it. 

The veggie burger was delic as well.
