28 April 2006

It's such a perfect day. My morning is immeasurably improved whenever I get to walk through the dog park. Roses and birds of paradise and the Jurassic-sized impatiens that San Francisco hosts and that I'm still not used to are blooming. A five-year-old girl with killer bangs whirled dervishly and carefree outside a cafe that was blasting North African music. A tow truck driver leaned out his window and yelled, "Mornin' sweetheart!" in such a sincere non-skeevy way that I was charmed. Happy Friday.

And happy Friday to you too. It's a beautiful day in Essex too, and as I was hanging out some washing on the line earlier, all I could hear was birdsong.

But spring is late in England. My plans to visit some bluebells woods this Sunday have been put on hold because the bluebells aren't out yet.

It's a beautiful day. I'm wearing this adorable light green argyle sweater I found for $25 on the sale rack, and my pug socks. I had free bagels and carrot cake this morning, the weather is great, I know exactly what I'm supposed to do today at work, and my Special Naked Friend is going to be in my town and kissing me in about 8 hours, and then the next day I get to see loads of my Metachat friends at a meetup.

I realize on these mornings that I kind of miss commuting. It's nice working from home, but I like being outside in the mornings -- well, at least on nice mornings -- for a while. Maybe I should start taking walks first things when I get up.

It's beeeyoootiful out. But I'm trying to figure out if I should bring my coat to Seattle. I'll be glad I have it if I end up needing it, but it doesn't fit in my bag, so I'll be carrying around. On the other hand, I'm grateful that this is worst decision that I'll have to make today.

It's a mite nippy in New York, but I've got a nice hot pastrami reuben*, a bag of salt & pepper chips and a Dr. Browns Black Cherry. Later on, we're going out for seafood.

*and the counterman was cool about me wanting mustard instead of thousand island. good man.

jonmc's first post had me thinking, "Ooooh, maybe I'll go get a pastrami sandwich for lunch!"

His second post cured that.

hey, occhi, in some nations belching after a meal is considered a compliment to the host. And after a good lay... *lifts buttcheek*

I'll just have to suffer if I'm out at night. I don't really want to carry it around on the crowded busses, since a large bag is awkward enough.

Nice day for a walk in the zoo. Oh, wait. That's tomorrow.

It's beautiful and warm in BC today. I was seriously overdressed for my errands this morning. It's supposed to be cooler but still nice this weekend.
