Last night, I was lucky enough to have Bowdu decide to share my bed. I woke up in a toasty haze with the world's cutest Shiba Inu curled into a small ball and wedged up next to me.
There were some bumps in getting here: Dave had to drag me out of bed squalling at 3:15 AM, so I could get to Dulles & be on my 6:05 AM flight. Said 6:05 AM flight got to Minneapolis late because the held the plane for 2 people who never showed. We rolled in at 9:05 AM, incidentally exactly the same time as my connecting flight to San Francisco left. This caused one airline to think that I never got on a plane to SF, thus they cancelled my return tickets (this has been sorted out. "Apparently." We hope!). They rebooked me, I get to San Fran, and then have to take the BART out to
woquinoncoin & R & Bowdu's home. This wouldn't have been so bad, except I was lugging Lu Xun (30-40 lbs), a small suitcase, my "purse" (AKA tote bag) and my laptop bag.
But I got to where I was supposed to be, was met by Cindy & R & Bowdu, and contentedly spent the rest of the day sitting around and co-existing and doing some talking at some points, too. ;) And we went grocery shopping. I got My Little Pony fruitsnacks. Woo!
So I've been up since 9-something AM, chillin' with the 'du, worrying him when I couldn't figure out which key unlocked the door, etc. It's a good first morning in CA. Bowdu is still snoozing while I sit here and drink coffee and talk to lots of people who are already in the year 2007.
I'm content to be in 2006 with this bundle of "Yes, I KNOW I'm damn cute":
