Got the Monday morning
blahs?
Wanna start the work week by shaking things up a bit? Feeling a little ..... naughty? Then try this: Wait till your boyfriend/husband/Significant Other emerges from his early morning shower, sometime around 7:09:32 a.m. PST ... when he's all damp and foggy and towel-wrapped and cutely distracted. Make sure he hasn't had
any caffeine
yet. This is important. It helps if he's got an important 8 a.m. Sales
Meeting in Look deeply into his eyes ... smile lovingly ... and say, with all the tenderness you can muster: "Happy Valentine's Day, Honey. I love you." And then sit back and *enjoy* as he zooms through an AMAZING array of facial expressions -- incomprehension, surprise, confusion, denial, blind gibbering panic -- "No it isn't! No it isn't! It's NEXT week!" -- all within the space of approximately three and a half seconds. [Try it! It's fun!] Of course, you've gotta let the poor guy off the hook more or less immediately. Especially if you love him and you don't want him to drop dead of a guilt attack, right there on the bathroom floor. And especially-especially if you want roses -- or that five lb. Tobler Chocolate Orange * -- when the real Valentine's Day rolls around, next week. |

blurb #1 will go HERE: if david
and i have ever
enjoyed a lazier, more self-indulgent, more sluglike weekend than the
one just past ... i don't remember it.
basically this weekend was one long, thick, drooling nap, interrupted occasionally for things like food intake and bathroom breaks and sex and laundry and *regular* sleep. we had a list of stuff to do, a mile & a half long ... and we ignored it completely. and it's a good thing, too, because i'm plunging now into an extremely frenzied, Franz-intensive week. [read this: i've run out of seminars to ship my boss to.] and frankly i don't expect to come up for air -- let alone the luxury of "thick, drooling naps" -- until at least 3:40 p.m. friday afternoon. in the meantime ... if anybody knows of any interesting engineering seminars coming up in ... oh, say, Botswana ... let me know, wouldya? oh. and btw. happy
valentine's day, dear reader. i love you.
