choppy

bear with me as i try to recall the last few days of my stay with my grandparents.

my nana bought this diamond painting thing for tq and i to do. it’s one of those tedious and detailed crafts with very explicit and easy-to-follow instructions. i thought it was very enjoyable. plus, tq and i like to talk aimlessly while we do our little white woman crafts so it’s entertaining to say the least.

one night, can’t remember which, we had hotdogs. very yummy. i love mustard. tq doesn’t. nana also forced us to eat beans. neither tq nor i like beans but oh well. that night, we also watched despicable me 3. wonderful movie, never misses.

have i talked about how much tq hates the campground’s public showers? obviously, we both appreciate that there are public showers at all(one more than the other). i think they’re great, especially for being outside in the middle of the woods. it is a murky and the floor is always wet and suspicious but what more could you need, really? tq hated it. she hated that you have to avoid touching the floor, she hated the musky smell, and she hated the gross atmosphere of the whole thing. i quite liked it. it was funny to have a refreshing shower and then step out and there’s just millions of trees surrounding you.

my nana also bought this dream catcher kit, that was like the second day but i just realized i never wrote about it so here. it was awful. do not buy a dream catcher kit. the instructions were horribly written and not definitive in any way, it left too much to interpretation. and the kit itself, was very inconvenient to use. we finished it, of course. but nobody really wanted to look at it.

oh, there was this one night tq exposed all her secrets she had been keeping from me since like february. it was whiplashing. my jaw was literally on the floor and i was clawing at the ground asking for more details and more of her secrets. tq lore goes crazy, you should ask her if she prefers right or left, trust me.

nana also bought an embroidery kit. very fun. i love embroidery. that was, until i snapped the needle in half and had to pause the project. no worries, i’m currently in ohio and i brought the kit with me, along with new needles and i’m slowly but surely working on the kit again.

for our last night with my grandparents, we had this microwave fettuccine chicken alfredo. it was good. yknow what else was good. LEMON SELTZER. I LOVE THAT STUFF. i actually hate sparkling water but whenever it’s from my grandparents’ fridge it tastes like heaven and has the effect that drugs would. please get me a case of lemon seltzer and i’ll have 10/10 burps for life.
