The chocolate cupcake is delicious

[brightrosefox]

After work, I went to a Borders store, bought a chocolate cupcake to go, and then lost track of time browsing through the YA and SF sections. By the time I actually got home, it was pitch black and seven-thirty -- at least an hour later than my normal time. Adam called asking where I'd been; he'd been trying to call me since five. Whoops. He's staying overnight in DC, since he needs to be right back there early tomorrow morning, so it make sense. He is setting up computers for a conference at the Hyatt two blocks from my office, and he actually didn't need to leave home to get there until late this afternoon, hence the overnight stay. He picked up his paycheck today, two days early, and since it's the mortgage-paying check for November, he'll be giving it to me so I can put in my savings account, transferring it to checking when it's time to pay next month's mortgage. I have the option of going over there on my lunch break to find him and pick it up. And say hello.
One major perk of Adam's job: Getting thousands of dollars worth of used computers, plasma televisions, and electronics from his boss for free or nearly free. Our townhouse is so wired it's crazy.

Pardon me. Our baby turtle, Donatello, is hungry. He is splashing and tapping against his tank. As I turn to look, his tiny legs are pumping, scrabbling joyously, wondering where his pellets are.

By the way... is "Pushing Daises" actually good? I haven't watched it yet. But I did watch the latest episode of "Dexter" last night. I love that show.
