The trip back from SLC involved a canceled flight, puking in the airport, and lost luggage, but it’s all over now and I’m simply happy to be home. I very nearly kissed the ground when we landed. Of course, I’ll soon be off again, bound for NYC, but let’s not think about that just now, shall we?
It doesn’t take much travel these days to make me appreciate being home. I worked from here yesterday, which was really nice. It gave us the flexibility to meet up for lunch at Baja Fresh with some of my former coworkers from the music technology gig, and that was a total blast. Aside from the ridiculous delay on one person’s one measly taco, it was an entirely wonderful experience. I really miss them, but I’m relieved that we’re actually staying in touch.
Karsten and I also dropped into a few banks after lunch and got some ideas on financing our front porch work. That’s looking promising. It’s going to look seriously great.
And then around sunset, Karsten and I walked downtown to the new H.G. Hill Urban Market to pick up some mushrooms for dinner. I’d read CeeElCee’s appraisal and basically agree with it, except that I’d add they did a great job with the vertical space. (And Smiley, if it were up to me you’d be a Metroblogger already.)
On our way back home, we stopped in at the Germantown Cafe to have a drink at the bar. After all this time, I still get a little thrill out of being able to pop in for a drink at such a great place.
And, oh yeah, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. *yawn* Although actually, rather unusually, I bought Karsten a present this year. I can’t tell you what it is in case he sees this before his gift shows up, but I think he’ll like it. As for me, I don’t need any gifts — I already have the love of my life — what more could I possibly want? (All together now: awww.)
NYC! when will you be around here? and what will you be doing?
Insulin! I need insulin quick! hehe
I’m very happy you’ve both found each other. You rule.
With all due respect to your husband, I was getting tired of carrying on a long distance relationship. They never work, ya know….

awwwww…That is so sweet…you’re a lucky girl!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Isn’t it funny how that works? Me *too*. And I woulda never thunk it.

I agree they did a great job with the vertical space visually, but we’re both relatively tall. I always hate staring up at the one thing at WalMart that I want that happens to be on the top shelf. I know they say to ask for help, but I invariably pull a whole bag of thistle bird seed down on my head.

Actually, I think both you and Karsten are lucky folks. You wear sentimentality well..pretty much like everything else you do.
Nice post..and I am damn glad that you and the other ‘K’ made this neighborhood your home.
