Erg. I tried really hard to get to the store early and ended up here a half hour late instead. At least I had good intentions, right? I would have been fine if I hadn't had to go to the bank first. Even with the business wicket, it was a long line-up. Usually, I can breeze past the lines and go to the business window (feeling all the dirty looks as I go, lol!) and get out fast. Apparently, everyone suddenly realized that it's October 1st.
That doesn't seem right. Where did 2007 disappear to? Thanksgiving next weekend and then Hallowe'en; next is the up-to-Christmas rush... I'm not ready!!!
Just can't seem to get going this morning, either. I spent the weekend sleeping off my cold, so Mount Bookmore remains to be priced and shelved and the windows still need to be done. Oh, well, it's not like those things won't still be waiting in a few more minutes.
I just have to mention a couple of things that made me realize not just how much I love my husband (who shall from here on be known as Bear, because it's easier than saying "my guy" or "hubby" all the time!) but why I like him so very much. The first is kinda silly, I suppose, but I find it extremely endearing.
My cat Dancer gets to spend quality time with Bear if the dogs aren't sleeping in the bedroom with him-he calls her "Arm-pit Cat" because that's where she curls up and sleeps after he has properly adored and petted her. I love that he took to my cat so readily, that there was never a question in either of our minds that Dancer was going to move in when I did and that the first sardine he gets out of the can goes to her. That's the background stuff. Lately he's been calling her "Tantor the Elephant Cat" because she tromps over him to get to me on the bed, and like all cats, she seems to weigh about 2 tonnes when she does so. A new nickname wasn't enough, though. He actually made up a little theme song for her and he sings it when she jumps up on the bed. How can you not love a guy who makes up entrance music for your cat?!? :D
The other thing was one of those inelegant but sincere compliments. *Shrug.* It's a guy thing.
I was asking his opinion of another woman-"Don't you think she's pretty?"-but not at all in one of those stereotypical female ways. He knew he wouldn't get in crap for responding. Still, his answer was "I guess so". When I pressed him a bit on it he said "Well, you know that if it's not you, she might as well have a penis.". LOL!!! Not elegant, but I knew what he meant. It's one of the ways in which we're alike-when in a relationship, others cease to be attractive.
So there's some Monday ramblings.

LOL! Yeah, he's a keeper. :)
Makes up for other stuff. I'll take the crappy summer in return for 10 years of him just being him.
He's still watching out for you punching him, lol!
Oh, I have that deck on reserve with his name on it. lol
I think that's a good compromise though. Maybe. Nah, make it 20. ;)
Hee hee, I'll let him know you're reserving it. That should make him nice and relaxed!
I figure we should be good for the next 10 years, easy. ;)
