Howdy, y'all! I'm sorry I haven't been around much. I do try to check in where I can, but I resolve to get back in the regular swing of LJ, because I miss you all very much!
Today has been such a good day. There was morning flirtation with Adoraboy, who came by my office without any ulterior motive that I could discern other than to turn my nameplate on my office window upside down. Then I had a long, absolutely delightful lunch with
psubrat and Boo, who came into the District from suburban Md. to see me and visit the zoo. When I returned to work, I got the news that
Steve Carell committed to the show for another 3 years! And the Phils won last night, ending their longest losing streak in 2 years. And when I get home tonight, there will be a package waiting for me -- my order from Fabric.com -- the makings of
this dress, in
this fabric which was totally on sale. So I have a fun evening of sewing ahead!
Lunch with L. and Boo was so wonderfully heartwarming and soulsoothing and made me so happy, it's hours later and I'm still glowing! Brat is just my kind of person. I really love her and am so thankful that I know her. We talked nonstop about hockey and politics and LJ and her old job and my job and the con she's running in a couple of weeks! Plus all about Boo, of course. He is an amazing little boy -- he's so far from being a baby anymore, I can't believe how fast he is growing! -- and let me tell you, he is so amusing. He doesn't just chatter, he has conversations. He is so happy and engaged in everything going on around him, and he amuses himself so easily and he's so curious about everything and totally wants to experience everything on his own -- so independent! And he's so funny and totally charming! Oh, the ladies will have a tough time resisting this one, when that time comes.
Now I'm about to go for coffee down the block with Adoraboy (!!! lots of interaction today!), who will be sitting only one office away from me starting in August. Yay! :) I am preparing myself for a friendly coffee run so I don't start the whole analyzing-every-interaction-for-signs routine. I just want to let it be and not fuck things up and let stuff go on naturally. And whatever is intended to be, will be.
But you know, guys, he is so awesome. We talk about the most random, interesting stuff. Little things like traffic in the neighborhood, big things like our families/brothers/sisters/nieces & nephews, and of course sports -- lots of sports -- and politics, and government, and history, and movies and literature (HE READS, y'all) and sometimes work (but not too much) and and and. There's always so much to discuss and he always leaves me wanting more. *sigh* I'm a goner, folks. I'm trying really hard not to be; I want to be realistic and professional and I like avoiding risking rejection, and I want to be satisfied with whatever happy friendship is the likely outcome, because like Brat he's just my kind of person. But the better I get to know him, and the more time I spend with him, I like him more and more. IDK!
How are all of you?
