I love you people. Thank you.

Not counting my chickens before they hatch, but I have to think that being flown up is a good sign. I told him that the only day I couldn't is 8/5, and he said he wants me up there sooner than that.

More money, more travel, working out of the house, better benefits, more vacation. And respect. Almost forgot what that is like.

Maria, that sounds awesome. Lots of good thoughts heading your way.

Please do count your chickens before they're hatched. They may be dangerous at any later point.

And I'm vibing hard for the awesome job!

I think it's a good sign, Maria!

Fingers crossed for you, Maria!

quester, that's an awesome story.

quester, that's an awesome story.

It was the highlight of my summer.

Yay Maria!

Maria, that does sound good! I got appendages crossed for you!

Quester, that is a great story! Love it.

I made a phone call tonight. Here are some excerpts.

"What would you say if I wanted the phosphate thing to be...a date?"
"That sounds like fun. I was going to think of it as a date anyway, whatever you thought of it."
"Oh. That's good. That seems to indicate a mutual liking."

"Sorry, I'm still trying to process the fact that I asked you out on a date and you said yes."

"That reduced some stress."
"Oh! Was that part of all your stress?"
"I've been wanting to do that for a while."
"How long have you been wanting to do that?"
"Like...a year? Maybe longer? The night we met?"

"I've been meaning to do it, but I didn't want to do it over Facebook Chat. It would have been inappropriate. Well, not inappropriate, but I thought I could do better."
"Thank you for doing better. It was nice."

So that happened.

Are you going on a date in my neighborhood?!?!
