Jesse, with an attitude like that, you'll be single forever.
Heh, I know!
I have managed to get through the morning with out talking to my boss at all, and not that much to anyone else, either. This is a good thing.
And we live to fight another day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Owen! And stay away from Mommy's razors! ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch
I wasn't looking for DH when I found him. We met in England, so I was looking for a British guy. There was this Scottish guy in our program, looked a bit like Ewan MacGregor, beautiful gray eyes, named Duncan McHyphenated-PoshName. I had him in my SIGHTS. But then I started talking to this American guy from Oklahoma who'd moved to Seattle. The first night we met, we sat on the stairs talking until 2:00 a.m. or so, jet lag be damned. And the rest is history.
So - what are everybody's weekend plans?
Tonight - Mariners. King Felix is pitching tonight, which always adds a certain air of anticipation to a game day.
Tomorrow - Soak up the forecasted sunshine and 70-degree temperatures to remember for the next 2-3 months of gloom before summer properly arrives sometime around July 4. This will probably entail taking Annabel to the park with sidewalk chalk and bubbles, and I'm also planning to take the laptop out onto the deck to write.
Sunday - Choir. More writing, probably indoors, as the sun is already supposed to be gone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Isn't that an abacus?

Knuckle down on my Painted Spires artwork, possibly sound out a hot Italian executive about a date.

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

Wow, I've never seen anything like those.
My boss and I just check eBay - I guess they go for about $400-$600.

Ann, that's a ferret.
It's April 11 and I haven't done my taxes. That'll take care of my weekend.

I read about those in Pattern Recognition by William Gibson. Neat little things.

I'm happily home on my day off, and right now I'm going to pick up my dog from my sister's house, take a long walk, go to UPS to get a package, and hopefully do some writing. Writing would be good.
There's also some new movies out, as well. And I might go to the climbing gym tomorrow.
Helicopter flight was a success: I got to sit in the copilot's seat. What I learned: helicopters are really frelling loud and there's no graceful way to get in and out of them. I had to wear a survival suit over my clothes, and I'm so glad it fit! Pity about the view, though: it was mostly grey and overcast, so we didn't see as much awesome scenery as I would have liked. But the guys were awesome, and I'd love to go again some time.
