Grumble grumble. Charter Internet not working! Called it in. Known problem in area. How can I research my floor options on the iPhone?? Waaaaah!

Happy birthday, Teppy!!

OMG, I just spent nine hours with this guy from OKC. We went to a museum, had a drink and a snack, he came back with me to my house and we played with the kittens for hours. He broke his wrist six weeks ago and it's been hurting; he asked me to try massaging it so I did. Then he returned the favor on my back and hip (studied applied physiology in college). Which basically means that me was massaging my butt cheek at certain points. Kind of odd on a second date(?) and sounds like it would lead to making out, but no.

Then we walked Frankie, then got Vietnamese, then gelato and took a walk. Duuuude I'm tired.

Can't quite read this guy or decide how I feel about him. ::shrugs:: Nice to have someone to go check out art and trade massages with, though.

About pheromones/instincts/whatever: all that "yes" instinct means for me is that there is attraction. A "no" means there isn't and will not be. So no is no, and yes means there's a chance if many other factors coincide. Does that make sense? A "no" has never turned into a "yes," but my "yesses" turn out to be "nos" on a regular basis.

Sounds like a good date, smonster.

We went to have dinner with friends, then left Franny there for an overnight.

I need to do my nails tomorrow. I miss my polish.

Hope the birthday weekend is fabulous, Teppy.

Mostly great day yesterday. I swam 50 laps in the pool, my pool, not a full size variety. It took 50 minutes, which slow, but whatever. It felt great. Then I took a shower. As I am drying off I notice blood on the floor. My stupid foot incision is bleeding. It has been 2 months! I wore the compression bandage while swimming, but also pushed off with my toes to try and get more flexibility, so 100 push offs was apparently too much foot action. Pout.

Then we attended a 70th birthday celebration for an aunt. She danced for about 5 hours straight to rock, rap, salsa, everything. It was just a great time for everyone attending. Down side was my eldest son once again didn't bother to show for something important to me. He was asleep in bed when we got home. Lame excuse this morning. Grrr. I hope my foot allows me back on the dance floor in celebrations some time soon.

Ack, Laura. It's so hard to be patient and wait for things to heal, and so easy to overdo it.

I wanna be your aunt when I'm that age.

I has kitten on my lap. Bella is PISSED about the kittens, oh well. I think Mickle wants to make friends, and she's hissing from several feet away. A little while ago I had the door to the crate open, and Frankie was next to me whining because he wants to play with the kittens. Xusha sauntered up and flopped down on my other side, and Frankie GROWLED at her. Like, fuck off, these kittens are under my protection. He is so funny.

Good first date this morning. Works at the University, likes to travel, friendly crinkly blue eyes. I think he had a good time, too. There's some attraction there on my side at least, we'll see what happens.

We have new kittens at the office. I'd love to bring one home, but am afraid that Georgia would eat a kitty invading her territory.

Yay for good dates!

My aunt dancing non-stop to techno and rap with her grandchildren was absolutely wonderful. They also danced with her to oldies. I hope I will be dancing with my grandkids to their music!.

That is awesome. Happy Birthday to your aunt.

We went out for breakfast this morning and bought both the local paper and the NYT because we actually have time to read both of them today; this hasn't happened in forever.

TCG bought a new computer last week. He hasn't had a computer of his own for years. All his talk about not wanting to be on the computer when he is not at work has gone out the window; he is adorably googling everything he can think of. I think I've corrupted him.

That is charming.

What a lovely 70th!

1 pm and still no nail polish. Wound up weeding in the garden instead, then pool later, then nails maybe if I can sneak them in.

I had skating class this morning, then to the office. Now on my way home to wax my new car and add VERY important items such as my TMBG and Roller Skating stickers and my "My Other Car is a TARDIS" license plate frame. Tonight, going to see War Horse at the Ahmanson. Live theater, yum.
