Having to urinate, due to excess coffee consumption, Dan and I snuck into a Bon Macy's to use their facilities. The "Ladies Lounge" was seriously the most incredible place I've ever walked into. It was like a castle. Huge overstuffed sofas everywhere, gigantic mirrors, rows of theatre lights, gold taps, ornate shelves and mirrors and doorhandles in every bathroom stall. No, they weren't even bathroom stalls. More like bathroom suites. It was incredible. I could have taken up residence in that bathroom and lived out my days like royalty. It was so incredible that I took pictures to show Dan. He couldn't deal with how amazing it all appeared. So we went in search of the "Men's Lounge." Truth be told, such a place didn't exist. There was a "Men's Restroom." It had a sink. Without gold taps. And a mirror. Without ornate frames and theatre lights. And some bathroom stalls. Not suites. Stalls. The whole place was sort of a medical green color. One of the fluorescent lights was sort of flickering. Dan is suing Bon Macy's for discrimination.
So yes, yesterday I spontaneously kidnapped Mr. Schales and stole him away to Seattle. A day of coffee drinking, cousin meeting, food eating, and record purchasing commenced. Him and I made a couple very valuable connections that are going to serve us very well in the coming months. I would discuss this issue further, but that would all about but ruin the surprize. His life and my life are going to change forever. In just a few short months. I am terribly excited.
He is really incredible, you know. Yeah, yeah I say it all the time, but honestly, I just adore this boy. He's smart and sweet and funny and interesting and easy on the eyes, if I do say so myself. And he knows stuff about things that I don't. And I know stuff about things that he doesn't. And our every conversation is exceedingly rewarding. I love love love being around him. Whether we are attempting to drink sparkling cider out of wine glasses in the middle of the park in the pouring rain or if we are laying on my bed trying to decide who is going to get up and go down to the cold cold basement to put our work aprons in the washing machine. He's an utter delight. I adore him down to my spleen.
I'm so very glad we found each other.
