P-C, maybe she's sitting at her computer, freaking out about how this cool guy emailed her and she doesn't know what to say. Maybe she's doing laundry. Maybe she's on an internet blackout while the Olympics are airing. Maybe she had to get online to squee to all of her internet friends.

P.-C., it takes me at least a day to compose a reply that doesn't make me feel like I'm either the biggest neediest loser on the planet, or a total nutball. She could be rewriting her reply to make sure she doesn't put you off. Or, maybe she hasn't read her email yet.

No response after three hours. MAYBE SHE HATES ME. (That is my default reaction to no response, don't worry.)

Ha. I had the same reaction to no responding text from Z today. Turns out he took a nap that lasted six hours, because he still has jet lag. I'm waiting again, but I'm guessing now it's because the Saints game is still on. I think.

On a related note, Nora, are you up? He can't make tomorrow, I'm asking about Tuesday... would that work for y'all? How long do fresh shrimp keep? eta he can do Tuesday. Tomorrow he's hanging with Chef Mars from LA Bistro (!!).

Tuesday works, not sure about the shrimp one way or the other... I bet they'll be OK though.

Still Tasty says 1 - 2 days? If it really did come off the boat, I think it should still be good. Or we can proceed as planned tomorrow and y'all can meet Z another time.

Man, I participated in social cooking and eating four times this weekend! Twice at Z's friends' houses, my monthly brunch at a friend's, and once at mine. And will soon again at Nora and Tom's!! I love it so. I don't like cooking alone, really. I'm glad Z likes to cook.

Nora, we did make the frittata and it was delightful, good call. But now I'm out of eggs! I knew I should have bought some yard eggs today.

No response after three hours. MAYBE SHE HATES ME.

Probably her yogurt machine exploded and she's been fighting yogurt monsters all day. That can really take it out of a person.

Even the gay country club showed the game tonight. Love this town.

Hey, P-C, R came over for dinner and I showed her the Terriers pilot. She loved it.

Oh, yay! I'm glad you guys are becoming friends! She's good people.

Probably her yogurt machine exploded and she's been fighting yogurt monsters all day. That can really take it out of a person.

I'm still really curious about this yogurt machine.

Wow, that one looks way nicer than the one I remember my mom having in the 1970s. t edit Like this: [link]
