Moving right along

Monday, as it continued, turned out to be a pleasant day. After work I headed over to my brother's to check on kitty. I got there at about five p.m. and got changed to go for my jog. I waited a bit for the furpoop to show up, but he didn't so I headed out for a long jog through the hills. It put me in such a good mood, working my way up and down the long streets, gazing at the spectacular view of the city down below. I especially love early evenings in springtime. The angle of the sun, the fragraces of a world in bloom (thank God I don't have any major allergies yet...*knock* *knock*) and the song of mockingbirds, robins and mourning doves. Going up up up those hills and away from the city. Nature puts my mind at ease. So at ease that I got a little lost... The streets all twist and turn into each other up there. I have a good sense of direction so I was able to find my way back...the loooong way. Makes me all the more thankful for daylight savings.

Once done with my exercise, I stayed at Steve's and waited for the kitty. I had to make sure he ate because no one was there to feed him Sunday. He eventually showed up, snuck by while I was watching t.v. and drinking a beer. I heard a familiar crunching over at the corner of the kitchen. I gave him attention, brushed him and loved on him some. He's a little on the nervous side and I'm sure that's due to his growin' up on duh streets, alone in duh 'hood. But Steve gives him so much love and attention that he's almost as laid back as Stanley. You just can't make any sudden moves or the Frankie is across the room or haning from the ceiling fan. Looks wise, he's the exact opposite of Stan. I only have head shots to compare, but ya'll know how chunky Stan is. Frankie is the little skinny black shadow of Stan.

Yea. So once done at my brother's, I headed home to make dinner for Ronnie poop. Monday's aren't so bad because he has class and gets home between 8 and 9 p.m. This gives me a chance to practice my "wife skills" and make him a nice dinner a few times a week. Mmmmmmm...broiled steak...

Didn't get a pic of the baked potatoes and veggies, but they were plenty good too!

After dinner we went ahead and did what we do best...lounged around. I played with the birdies some, too. Pickles needed some love...

And then Melanie called with the good news that her date went very well. She went out with a guy that she knew casually from a group of friends she used to hang out and go camping with in highschool. Turns out he had a crush on her back then!!! HAH! They had a lot of fun together on Sunday and I'm so very happy for her. He sounds like a cool guy so far. Woowoo! Joy for Melanie!

I gotta pee like the dickens so I'm gonna go do that 'fore I make a mess. I should also get to work, we've got orders today!!! Yaaayyy!!!

What part of LA are you from? I was born and raised partly in Covina and then went to high school in San Dimas.
