On a related note, I bounced gleefully when Jilli and Pete took me to a Great Big Bookshop, and said "If Rosie were here she wouldn't let me go in! Yay! Books!" (I've sold most of my books, remember, and Should Not Be Buying More Stuff. But - books!)

...yeah, really can't blame Evil ExBoss for slashing us.

If it weren't for the awful breaking up of the OTP, I'd totally want to kidnap you and hug you and squeeze you and call you George. Except for the part where that would leave Pete bereft and Jilliless, which is a truly dreadful notion.

Clearly the only solution is to kidnap both of them. And then all three of you come to New York.

Wow, that would be fun...I'd totally go to that. In theory, anyway.

Well, it would make it that much easier to sqeeze Pete's cheek and tell him he's adorable.

...what do you mean, which cheek?

And then all three of you come to New York.

Jessica, you misspelled L-o-s A-n-g-e-l-e-s.

Score for being a shorter trip, but I've never been to NYC. Someday, I want to.

This is a good plan.

This is also a good plan.

Fay, I had forgotten all about the which route is the best one to get to the bathroom hilarity at the airport. And now you know that Pete and I have those sorts of conversations ALL THE TIME, with the him explaining and the me being cheerfully patient.

Hee! Joe and I have the same thing when he explains things to me that I already know, but he assumes I don't.

Any time I say Pete won't let me do something, it's pretty much for comedic effect.

I meant that!

and the me being cheerfully patient.

It's one of your best expessions. Perhaps because you've had practice.

This really is, dare I say it, adorable.
