While Carrie was off buying flowers I got a call from Downstairs Chris & Panome, who wanted me to go to Citysearch and look up a market for them. He couldn't remember if it was in Kent or Auburn. So I poked around and found it for 'em (in Kent). Then I went and dropped off my tapes and when I came back there were some loverly flowers on the "dining room" table, and some more on one of the bookshelves. While I was still working Christine called (on account o' the message Carrie had left earlier), so Carrie drove to her apartment and the two o' them walked to Kickstand and back and had a marvelous time.
A while back Carrie had asked Viki if it would be alright to take Sophia to see that Uptown Girls movie, and Viki had just said "probably." So Carrie called their house to ask Viki if it would actually be okay to take her that evening, and Sophia answered. Since Carrie didn't know if they were actually going, she had to play it all diplomatical-like:
CARRIE: Hey, Sophia. Do you know why I'm calling?So Carrie left to go see the movie. Shortly thereafter there was a knock at the door. It was Panome with some goodies for me—some fresh dim sum for me from the market I helped them find, as a way of saying thanks! There was pork, shrimp, and lobster, and a lot of it, and still hot. Yowza! I ate muchly, but I saved one of each kind for Carrie because I am, after all, the Best Boyfriend Ever (BBE).
SOPHIA: No.
CARRIE: Well, in that case I'm calling to talk to your mom.
SOPHIA: She's not here, and daddy's in the shower.
CARRIE: Well, let's leave him there. Okay, I'll try to track down your mom.
SOPHIA: Okay. Don't forget you're taking me to a movie tonight!
CARRIE: Well, that's why I called!
Speaking of food, I did that thing yesterday that they (those people again) say is good for you where you don't eat like three huge meals, but you eat small amounts like constantly all day. So I was eating practically every hour or two. I had sushi for breakfast (really!), then Carrie made me a homemade sausage McMuffin wit' cheese, then I ate a buttload of cashew nuts, then I had some string cheese wrapped with deli ham, then the dim sum, then some green beans wit' bacon in a butter/soy sauce sauce, then a PB&J sammitch (with some jam that a customer of Carrie's made, which kicks ALL ass—spiced blueberry honey jam).
In the evening I worked on Bead Factory stuff, watched rasslin' and Ren & Stimpy, and that wuz abouts it.
