Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

People keep telling me that I'll find him when I'm not looking

When I was in college, I heard that all the time. But the only thing that happens to me when I stop looking is I don't go out on anymore dates....

I guess the implication of "you'll find someone when you stop looking" is that when you're looking, you come across as desperate? (That's how it was explained to me.) But then again, the people who explained this to me were very attractive and never had any problem getting dates, finding interested people, etc.

If you were a woman, would you want to be naked, in a boat, standing next to Dick Cheney who's armed with a fishing rod?

What would I be armed with in this hypothetical scenario?

Awesome picture of Mars' moon Phobos: [link]

The colors are gorgeous. Also, Phobos = freaky.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But the only thing that happens to me when I stop looking is I don't go out on anymore dates....

Right?!?!? I am not that person who gets picked up in line at the bank. I have to make an effort to seem approachable (and to want to be approached). My job is 90% women. I'm not exactly tripping over possible partners, here.

Which reminds me that I should send you to see my bandmate when he starts working in his bank up there (currently he's in classes and getting certified for all sorts of things). Who knows, maybe you'll hit it off!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So - what are everybody's weekend plans?

Tonight try to neaten my apartment.
Tomorrow do my taxes and some laundry, then game night in SF.
Sunday grocery shopping and run errands, then dinner in SF.

Clean. Fix gutter. Work on car. Mow yard. Work on my Aunt's computer.

Weekend, Saturday: farmer's market, soccer pictures and game, buy tent used, bake brownies, optional soccer "clinic" at Casper's school; Sunday: home tour [link] , drop off brownies for bake sale, school bake and tag sale; Sometime this weekend: file emended tax return, grocery shop and meal plan and clean house and do laundry like every week, put about a month's worth of receipts into Quicken.

Ugh, I am tired just writing it down.
