All these things that I have done

N and I are in that getting to know you stage and I feel like a huge ass spotlight is on us. On Valentine's day, he dressed up in a full tux with shiny shoes over lunch and brought AR and I each a box of chocolates, ten tin foil roses (hand-painted by himself) and a handmade card. AR took a pic on her camara phone. it was great. we are the only two single chicks in our department. N and I ended up talking on the phone for 1 hour 30 mins that night too. So fast foward to yesterday. He asked me to lunch cause he didn't bring his so we went to this nice sit down place which is probably the most popular place to eat in town. He insisted on paying and he opens the car door for me. I forgot what such chivalry is like. Apparently the whole thing was the talk of the lunch group even though they turned us down cause we asked if they wanted to go with. I just love office politics. So later that evening we ended up talking on the phone for 1 30 mins again. I dusted off my set of balls and asked him to eat at the fancy pizza place downtown. So tonight he is picking me up (at my parent's house!) and I have all this anxiety. Like total eustress even though I know everything will be fine.

As for the Wichita trip. Everything went smoothly. No disasters to report. I got my beer card at Old Chicago and I held tiny little baby L in my arms. I also found distressed low top Chucks for only $25!!

It's Been Awhile

since i posted, i know. But it was month-end which is not fun in my little accounting world, and i'm the peon in the department. N the new guy is awesome....We have whispering conversations in his cube cause i have to file stuff there and he'll vent and I found out on Friday that we have the exact same tast in books and movies. He is currently reading Gertrude Stein and David mcCullough (sp?). I literally about died. and then we had a discussion about Capote. Did I mention that he likes indie flicks and documentaries? Even if it turns out that he thinks i'm a troll I won't care, cause it's cool just to have someone to talk to that likes the same things that i do.

I finished a hot pink hat while i was attending a hen party at S.'s house. most of his friends are well over 30 and into long discussions about pre-menopausal symptons and the freaky shit they do in bed. My ears are still burning, but more power to them. i turned down a trip to karoke night at the icehouse cause big surprise my ears are screwed up from the rainfest last weekend and the smoke there was just going to make it worse, and i wanted to be semi-pleasant for n and co.'s big super bowl party tomorrow.

next weekend is the big trip to wichita. a's baby shower and pre v-day support for M (and hopefully some stitch and bitch and BOOZE).
