It's been a busy couple of days, lots of running around and doing stuff and even getting work done. Yesterday I had lunch with two really fun women that I met online. We get together every couple of months. Then Sylvia stopped by because she needed to scan a photo. She told me that she had seen a pattern on Ebay that she thought I would like, and she knew I was out of town, so she got it for me! Isn't that sweet? I have the best friends.
Last night was also Stoneline. They're so nice, they treat me like one of the family. I can't even remember how long I've been working for them. But I remember when they decided to have kids, I had been working there for a while. And their oldest daughter just turned 7. So I think it's been about 9 years. Wow. Their oldest girl, Carina, used to be my best bud. But these days she's too cool for me. But her little sister Genna is still really affectionate. She always climbs up in my lap so I can read her a book. Genna just started speaking full sentences. It's amazing. I remember when she expressed herself with single words, then two words together, and then suddenly it was complete thoughts. Well, it seemed sudden to me, but I only see her once a week.
Georg and I went out to dinner tonight, which was nice although the food wasn't spectacular. I think I've been spoiled because we don't eat out very often anymore, so when we do it's always something special -- either a really good restaurant or one that we love. After dinner we walked around Northgate Mall, where I discovered the truest sign that the economy is in the toilet: everything at the Dollar World is now 75 cents.
