Please could I have a lovely British boyfriend?

waves wand

Oh, thank you FairyFayMother!! Any LBB (lovely British boyfriend) coming from your wand will be enchanting and smart and sexy and fun. I could ask for no better!

I assume you did get it back eventually?

Oh, yeah! I get it sometimes with bad asthma attacks too.

ok, I am beyond angry. I sat at the midwife's office for 45 minutes this morning only to hear that she's not coming in today. But she will be there tomorrow. Except that I already took off today and I can't just waste leave hours because I need them formaternity leave. I'm so done with that place.

I dreamt that I randomly met Norah's Tom at some function or other, and rather than being very shy and unchatty (er, as I sometimes find myself - I mean, it can go either way, but when I'm nervous I can either be excessively talky and confident-seeming, or excessively quiet, and weirdly both are perfectly sincere, because I am some kind of shy/confident freakazoid) we nattered away with the banter and the bon mots (which apparently I can't spell), and I remember thinking "Yay! My social skills, let me show them to you!" in a pleasantly surprised sort of way.

Heh. Tom is very much on the shy/unchatty/excessively quiet side of things. But if he's given conversation opportunity (and beer) chances are he can warm up to it. Takes a while though, so he generally does not get into conversations with other shy folks. So much silence!

Morning all! This afternoon I leave for Maryland for funereal activities. I slept poorly last night and had nervous stomach ache/mild nausea. Bleh.

Oh, Stephanie, that is ridiculous! I'm so sorry.

Also, unrelated, did you get my e-mail yesterday?

Yes, I did see it. Planner that I am, I always think buying early is good, but, I have no experience in this area. The flight is only 40 minutes or so. I'll check out the website when I have better Internet acccess.

(I'm at the body shop. Again. But supposedly for 30 minutes only. We will see.)

But you bring out his chatty side when you're a part of the conversation. At least, that was my experience when we hung out at my brother's restaurant.

ION, the return of cold, dry weather combined with The World's Hottest Apartment(TM) has whammied my sinuses horribly. Fortunately I move 3 days from today. (Er, to a house that is not hot, but which has pets. So my sinuses will have a whole new fun thing to deal with.)

Man, that was good times. Let's do that again soon!

How's packing, Tep? How's the ankle?

Huh. That totally applies to this Tom as well....

Well, I've learned how to make conversation with strangers even when my shyness doesn't want me to. But it takes effort and some stress, so I only do it when it seems worth the effort.

Ok. I've re-written my reflection on class yesterday. Could you guys take a look and make comments (either here or in my LJ)? It's currently unlocked and can be found here: [link]
