Lavender Chocolate

Sogroutes. licorice. Hardscrabble. Smog.

Rosette has a car. Which means we can go places.

It's a four-seater with two doors but of course that doesn't stop us.

First: Sogroutes (I thought it was spelled Socrates). We were going to the garlic festival there but it had a 10$ entrance so that didn't happen. So we walked around, looked at the thrift stores and candy shop (I got some licorice, because I've only eaten it once before, a long time ago. others got raspberry chocolate and lavender chocolate, chocolate covered orange peal...) and feta spinach croissant and almost got a cute tie. but didn't, I'm not sure I'm a tie-wearing person yet (i would like to be ^_^)

2nd: Hardscrabble Fair, in Redhook. We only caught the tail end, got some food at a GiGi's van (mm...fries boiled with sage and rosemary)

3rd: Hannaford. bread and all that jazz.

 and later we went to smog. everyone else left after a minute-there were Bard bands playing and the first one was okay but then the one after that was...well, just the singer with a guitar and the rest of his band couldn't make it. listing to music and watching very drunk people dance and stand around and sway. got a very sweaty hug and "are you drunk" "no" "why not?"
(really though, two nights in a row is too much. that's what happened last weekend and nobody felt like doing that again. granted the night before I ended up finishing my book for adult psych "the boy who couldn't stop washing" while everyone else was being silly and loud)

 work....two short papers this week, three exams next week. early midterms combined with classes that have three tests in a semester.
