It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Arrgh. Citibank.com is not working and my cc bill is due in two days!
Also, after about two weeks of dithering, I finally decided on a two-day vacation to the Jersey shore. Leaving in a couple hours.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm going to be on the Jersey shore tomorrow! Maybe I'll see you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Jersey shore where?
she asked from Jersey, not particularly near the shore.

I dunno -- I'm staying with a friend in Lawrenceville tonight, and then to the beach!

I'm betting you're going somewhere near Belmar, then. Ahh, beach.

Ooh, Six Flags! I haven't been to an amusement park in yonks.
Ahh, beach.
Indeed. Too bad I think yesterday was the best beach day.

We like roller coasters and had a great time at Cedar Point some years ago...thankfully the day before the blackout. I'd say it's silly for two grown people to spend a day at Six Flags but my parents roadtripped to Magic Mountain last year. So yes, silly.

oh, erg.
I have to go running in fifteen minutes, and I am hungover. Not hugely, but enough that this is going to be a challenge.
