Yay for an excellent first date, tommyrot! What a great story.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I woke up at 3:45 because the cat stepped on the remote and turned the tv on full blast.
That actually makes me feel better about the fact that my TV remote died and I haven't done anything to fix or replace it. (The "universal" cable remote was never able to find my TV, so on/off and volume are ALL THE WAY OVER THERE now.)

All the lights have gone off on my floor of the building. My computer and space heater are still on, but all the students have left. I am content with this development.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
apparently I'm now in a long-distance relationship
Woot!! I had great luck in an LDR with one person in Chicago.
Right on, Tommy!!! And I was thinking of lisah, actually, when you mentioned your date. Yay LDRs with Chicagoans!
We had marital date night, which consists of Northern Exposure and lemon frozen yogurt and popcorn. Which may not be much, but is totally awesome to us.
Sounds perfect!
I threw some chili in the crock pot yesterday, at which point Tim said, "Hey, how long before that will be ready?" I said at least an hour, but ideally longer. He suggested we kill time with some hanky-panky.
I gotta say -- having a vat of chili all ready and waiting after hanky-panky? BRILLIANT. God bless the crock pot.
I am feeling like I'm never going to be in a relationship ever, so I hope I'm wrong about that.
Don't make me point my finger at you, damn it.
Glad the date went so well. Hmmm, what are we going to call her on the board?
I suggest we call her whatever Tommy prefers we call her.

I now hate our movers, and they aren't even here yet. An hour an 15 minutes late, so far, and two guys arrived on foot because they got the truck stuck in a tight turn. Anyone who'd done their homework, as anyone driving an 18 wheeler in a residential neighborhood should have, would not have gone that way, as there is an obvious, easy way.
Possibly I will be taking the children out to a park and Michael will be dealing with the movers, since I suffer fools so poorly.

In life's little ironies (at least my life's):
Wednesday I came home to find a note that my building's laundry room was switching from coin operated to card operated the next day. Wednesday at lunch I'd gone out and gotten rolls and rolls of quarters.
Saturday I did laundry and, with 10 new washers and 10 new dryers, it went well. Until I realized that, of the 10 dryers, 4 were non-operational, as in they weren't plugged in.

Woot on your date, tommy!!! I'm so happy for you.
And I do believe I'll have to check into Geek2Geek when I finally get the nerve up to start looking into dating. It's been so long since my last one (um, 25 years) that just the idea freaks me out some.
