swingchickiehad dinner with J2 last night... she's the girlfriend i used to work with who had the rooftop 4th of july party this year. i hadn't seen her since then, and we had so much to catch up on... so we made plans to grab a bite to eat, and then go ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
davissquarecats's place after.
we ended up never making it to the get-together, because there was so much to talk about, we were at the restaurant for most of the night. J2 is one of those friendships where you have an instant bond the moment you meet the person, and within minutes you're telling them everything about your life because you know they're of like mind. we had a lovely dinner out on the deck of the red fez -- sangria, spinach salads, grilled scallops, more mezze than you could shake a stick at. and we talked all night, about boys, sex, family... she is so completely thrilled about me falling in love again, it made me even more giddy than i already am. she's the one person so far who hasn't questioned the timing or circumstances of this, she's just genuinely happy and interested. what's nice is that, as a single parent herself, she's there to offer me insight into what it's like to build a relationship when you have a child in the picture. she's a good person to have in my corner.
when i dropped her off at home, i came in for a bit so that i could see... ELI! the coolest cat in the world! (and you know i don't say that lightly, considering that i love my two as if i gave birth to them.) eli belongs to her boyfriend, and every time i see him i want to steal him and take him home. he is the freakiest cat i've ever seen -- very tiny, very sleek, a greyish-brown color with really really soft, short fur. he looks like just fur and bones, almost like he's part snake. and he has these UNNERVINGLY HUGE EYES... sweet baby jesus... you can say, "eli!!!" and he'll look up at you with these freak eyes as big as trashcan lids, and you don't know whether to smooch him or run screaming into the night. and his voice... you say, "eli! speak!!!" and he makes his freak eyes really huge and goes, "cack cack cack cack..." and i fall down laughing. he's so awesome.
so, today there's much to be done... especially in the cleaning department. ugh. and the ex is coming over this afternoon to get the rest of his stuff. so the next 6 hours are going to be spent working. at least i'll have the BBQ this afternoon, and chatting with peter tonight, to wind things down. aaaahhhhhh.
