Well, I’m back.

I missed my sweetheart a lot today… we got messages back and forth, but missed each other online…just now, by inches.

I’ll think good thoughts of her sleeping, and catch her tomorrow, though. 🙂 *wants to capture her for the whole day… maybe I can pull off some time….

Tally of this evening –

Got to give hugs to Cathi & Dave… Cathi’s child is about the size of a large oliveat this point… 9th week, I believe.

Dave’s looking good, as is Cathi… Dave seems to be filling out (I thought he was losing weight, but since he’s hitting the gym, perhaps his chest is just bulking up to meet his tummy. I think Cathi’s looking forward to growing breasts… she’s a slight girl, never really was super curvy. *reminder to self – Dave’s going to burn me some of his advanced ASP tutorials on to CD for me…get him some blanks for him.

We had veggie lasagna, and I got christmas/birthday presents (that’s how long it’s been..I’ve seen ’em once or twice since Xmas, but they forgot the goodies… )

Here’s a tally of the loot.A toy robot with suction-cup feet, that can walk on two legs, supposedly up walls, and vertically. I suspect it won’t work… but will try it. (takes 2 AAA batteries, so I’ll dig some rechargeables for my palm). upon further inspection.. it just might work.. the suction cups have a piston release… very interesting gizmo.

A bag of york peppermint patty bites. Yum. I’m going to ration this out over a week .

A lovely, black short-sleeved, button-neck shirt… from the Elderborgs. 🙂 (Cathi’s parent’s… Mom & Pop Willenborg)

A nice Enya CD… (I’d buned a copy for myself via napster, so I can now share the wealth, and keep the original!… come to think of it, I’ve already shared the wealth with one sweet redhead…)

A gift container of Lifesavers candy… 8 half-rolls, and a set of holiday games inside… the lifesavers are vaccum packed, so I Imagine they’re still good.

A very cool metal ‘book’ container designed to look like the adventures of curious george…. metal is aluminum, a little to small to hold cd’s, but not by much. it’s filled with more hard candies… man.. they know Scotto has a sweet-tooth. not sure what to store in it… maybe sundries? insense cones? a little pencil and notepad? Heck, I don’t know, but it’s a nifty thingie. probaby end up being a first-aid kit… I keep forgetting that is something Ishould have around… band-aids, a small ace bandage, some burn cream.

Anyhow… after a quick supper, we tooled out to go see Blow (7pm show) and it was good… seemed longer than it was, but an interesting film. A good testament of how some bad decisions can bite you on the rear. Ray Liotta was quite good in it, as was the rest…save for the woman who played the mother… she seemed a little hollow to me. It being Saturday night at the riverwalk, there were all sorts of people out and about…a fascinating study in people in general.*lots* of people. a loopy guy, probably a derelict, roaming the alley, with a hand clutching his neck, and muttering. A woman walking a tragically haircut poodle, and anothe rlady with a poochie like Zoe ‘s Herchel, or Applelard’s Buddy. Barhoppers in varying degrees of over-, casual, and un-dress. Trendy girls in tight black pants and vinyl shirts with bare backs seems to be the fashion statement of choice. To describe “MY Team”… Dave – Bathtub Gin/Phish Shirt, Thick beaded necklace, and long-shorts, Birkenstocks. Cathi – Purple spiral Tie-dye dress (a very cool one… it suits her, plus it’s roomy enough for her to wear full term, I think) and Birks. Me, a Universal Studios Grey T-Shirt Is;ands of Adventure, covered in assorted Marvel Comics SuperHeroes, Forest green pants (in honor of the Celtic Festival), plaid green boxers and of course…. Birkenstocks… all identical feeties. 🙂 We were stopped by a photographic scavenger hunt… and I was used as one of the items… (they wanted a photo of my fuzzy back… worth 10 points) so, that was fun…I want to do something like that…if I’d had time, I would have liked to see what other things were on the list…. I noticed the one below mine was ‘a set of twins’ for 15 points, but I didn’t see the rest.

After the movie, we pretty much just headed back, and shot the breeze on the drive. a nice night… although I missed my sweetheart terribly.

Turning in… I want to be up early to see my gal… or if she sleeps in, get my chores done. 🙂

G’nite, Journal, and to all you kids that might be reading. *hug*

A little miffed.

Last night, I made plans to go out with Dave & Cathi this afternoon for lunch and maybe a movie.

I just got a call, and the time has changed to this evening. *aches*

I don’t want to go out tonight, but I feel I must, if I’m to see the nice hippies before the baby’s going to be born…plus I’ve not seen them for a few months.

*whine whine*… ah well, I’ll have a good time, and be home at 9 or 10ish… I hope that’ll leave me enough time to play some AOK, and see my sweetie… bad budgeting of time (and especially folks being late, or changng my time fo me) can tick me off, though.

I do know that we’ll be eating about 5ish, maybe catch the 7ish movie. Ish. uck. I’m not terribly anal, but a schedule is helpful when the day is only so long.

Possible movies –

I want to see Memento. They want to see Blow. *checking the times…looks like blow wins. Memento isn’t even at the theater.heck, the only one locally that it is playing at is the Drier theater, near the borders.

Hrm… *That* would’ve been nice. Stick to plan, go out to lunch, see memento. maybe coffee at borders, be home by 6. Well, I suppose a 4 hour shift is an acceptable loss. *note get more money out to take them out, to celebrate new baby…too early to get a present, I suppose.

Time to scavenge for lunch… see you folks later on. 🙂

I don’t know… I saw a picture of Lexie here, and that’s the noise that came out.

Little Lexie Luthor. *sighs* What a darling little LJ niece!!
