Confessions
ONE
Although I've nearly been driven out of my mind with Janie, Jessica, and Mr. Eagle Six living in our house (which was already at capacity with me and my parents) for the last couple of weeks, Jess and Janie's departure for a week in San Diego today made me realize that I do, in fact, adore Janie. When I mentioned in passing that I loved San Diego, she instantly invited me along. When I mentioned that I wasn't invited, she said that I didn't need an invitation, and when I said that I didn't have a ticket for the airplane she brushed this off with an airy wave of her hand. When I said that I had to work, she came over to where I was sitting, looked deep into my eyes, and said "Aunt Jen, you can't work all the time. You need a vacation. So why don’t you JUST COME." I tell you, I was about 30 seconds away from throwing a bathing suit in my purse and agreeing to come along.

There's something about spending time with Ms. Wish to See that makes me want to purchase expensive electronics. Last summer after a couple of hours with her, I swung by Best Buy on my way home and dropped $1,500 on a digital camera and a digital video camera. Not for any particular reason—just because. And then last week after having lunch with her and Mr. Fliven, I had a spare 30 minutes before my golf game and so I stopped by the Best Buy that was on the way. How much damage could a person who doesn't want a TV and doesn't play video games do in just 30 minutes? Clearly, I underestimated myself, because with 10 minutes to spare I had walked out of the store with the largest flat panel computer monitor they had. It's 24 inches of glorious high definition and here's the confession part: porn looks AMAZING on it.
THREE
I've been in my pajamas for the last 28 hours. But they were clean when I put them on, so I feel that it's not quite as shocking as staying in already-worn pajamas for the entire day. And I was super productive, so I feel almost justified.

I actually wrote this entry 10 days ago. But it's Sunday night, I still have a couple of hours of work to do on the Big Idea, and I'm too busy watching Human Weapon (watch it, dear readers, and love it) to come up with anything new and exciting. But we'll re-open the door on online dating next week, so stay tuned!
