I just took a short errand trip outside. It looks like my building will finally be getting fencing of sorts around the flowerbeds. They have been working on this for at least 3 years, so yay! They will help to keep the flowers beds nicer and untrod upon by man and beast.

There were approx 50 police officers hanging out on a corner in the hood. Now idea whyfor and I didn't ask, but odd.

Now I think it is time for lunch.

Jesse if you are around, pop on IM.

Hey, my 2006 is actually off to a great start. I met up with some good friends for brunch this morning, and then when I was running errands in town this afternoon, the cute bookstore guy who flirted with me last time I was in the store asked me out!!

Now we have each other's phone numbers, and I am realizing that we probably should have just made a date right then, but I was all flustered, and now I am getting nervous about calling him. But, yay, a date!

Fantastic! A date with a cute guy who works in a bookstore! Hell, I fancy him, and I've never even seen the guy. But - bookstore!

I've spent most of this weekend sans internet -- for some reason, my cable (tv and internet) have been on the fritz since Friday. Time Warner is sending a technician out on Friday (can't get one sooner).

I just hope it's something they can fix inside the apartment, because access to the cable box is through a neighbor's back yard. I've been online now for about ten minutes, catching up, which means it's about to conk out again, so I'd better make this brief!

"Ooh, can I touch your employee discount?"

"Uh, we're alone now...you don't have to be cute."

"I'm not. Seriously."

Ach, Jessica, that sucks! I hope they can fix it soon.

But - bookstore!

I know! I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, because I don't really know anything about him, and so this could easily turn out to be nothing I want to pursue. But I can't help thinking that the bookstore bit bodes well.

"Ooh, can I touch your employee discount?"

Heh.

Yeah...trailing fingertips along spines, sliding new volumes in between jaded old copies, mounting displays, unwrapping packages...damn. I think I need a cold shower.

OMG BORED!

Took my nephew and SIL to dinner last night, and he threw squash. It was awesome. Yes, I left a large tip.

Then slept over my SIL's and we played a game where he would reach intomy pockets and say, "money?" and then I would give him some money and he would run and put it in his winnie the pooh bank.

It's a great scam.

I had a boyfriend like that. Cute when wee ones do it. Thirty year olds? NSM.

Your nephew's clearly a financial genius, Allyson.

Yay for Kate's date.

I am so sleepy right now. Maybe I'll actually nap, even. That's very unlike me.
