I got your little package today in the mail... and I am looking forward to my reading, especially with THE lunch being tomorrow.... (think of me and how many shades of red I may turn tomorrow afternoon)... and with Joey's comments today to LOL at, and with the stress I had at work today, well... I'm looking forward to the reading...
I did not see a couple of pages though and was hoping you could scan those and email them to me... pages 402 and 403 are missing... would you mind? :)
Thanks again for thinking of both Joey and I... I was surprised with the extra pages you included... had I told you when the other's birthday was?
*hugs*

I'll look.... my book is at home, but I'm thinking that 402
Karen ~ wildlucky4me ~
OK... cool... there just seemed to be a gap there in what I was reading, so I want to get them, if that's possible...
First of all...the eye thing... I did it a couple of days ago and meant to call you about it... I don't know if I fully did the eye thing or not, but I was definitely caught looking into his eyes... I don't know if I got anything from it or not though... hmmm
As for lunch, the short and sweet version is due to circumstances beyond our control it was much different than anticipated... Gwen pulled out for a very good reason and the rest of us went... there was a bit of a pall over lunch in general due to the very good reason... but for the most part it was relaxed and enjoyable...
Gwen did say that I was getting a reprieve and suggested that we do lunch this time next week... you know the REAL lunch... we'll see, B's calendar seems a bit full next Friday, but we did talk about a next time, so hopefully one will come around... I kinda feel more comfortable at this pace anyway, even if it doesn't quite meet Joey's schedule... but we'll see what really happens when Gwen does decide to join us...

Joey's schedule.... LOL!
Karen ~ wildlucky4me ~
Yeah, Joey's schedule... after all, what else matters... well other than Gwen's schedule... LOL
Lunch went well yesterday but yesterday in general with all of the other stuff, was a let down... and I'm still reeling a bit this morning... not so much with the lunch, because it was ~just~ lunch (which is fine), but with the uncertainty that is out there right now with my company... the re-organization stuff was supposed to be completed yesterday, but my overall department or group was one of the ones that isn't complete yet... the leader of my overall group, well his position has been eliminated and we've been placed under someone else, which I suppose is fine, but then when you look at who is left, if they make any more cuts, well I just fee that I'm more susceptible this time around, since I am newer in my group (and I love my job, so I really hope that's not the case)... but they've cut so much over the past few years, seems like we've had a yearly "Black Friday" that there just aren't many left to cut and those that are left all are really busy...
Not to mention that work has really testing me lately... without going into too much detail, I've discovered some issues with something at work... and it appears that it is just barely good enough to still pass quality, but (at least this time through) definitely bad enough to raise eyebrows... however, since it is just barely good enough, everything is fine... I can only talk the truth with a few people, B being one of them, thank goodness, and we all feel the same way, that its not good enough... unfortunately, the people who agreed on how good are long gone now and we're stuck with it... now, try to give someone that explanation... is really fun... it was bad enough that last night before I left for the weekend, B and I were talking and I asked him if he REALLY thought my new boss would mind if I started drinking just a little at work... he just laughed...
Hope you have a nice weekend...

Hey Calla...
LOL... I didn't realize I had taken up a second language, but apparently I have...
Long story (not so) short is that there is a friend at work (Gwen) who is thinking I've been single too long and is on a mission... The one she has her sights on is someone that I've worked with for years and we've always had a very close relationship at work... In addition, my little guy Joey just thinks he's magnificient. I try not to let them see each other often, just because I know how attached the little guy can get, but he is the one that Joey made the fly swatter comment to (if you don't remember it, let me know...and I'll refresh your memory and you can LOL again) in October and on Wednesday, Joey took it one step further...
They're studying bugs at school... bees and wasps was a few days ago, then came caterpillars to butterflies, etc... so he tells me very excitedly that he drew B a picture at school... its a stinkin' bee (reference to GT)... oh really honey, that's great. Are you going to bring it home so I can see it?... I can't mommy, its up on the wall... OK, well, when it gets off the wall?... OK mommy when it gets off the wall, I'll bring it home and show it to you and you and me will give it to B (not surprised by this request, as he's drawn things for B before, but they've never made it to B, he tends to forget)... and Mommy, we'll give it to him for Father's Day!
Now w/o trying to overanalyze, lets just say that Joey brings up B a LOT... They saw each other at the beginning of April for the first time since October and even during the time when they weren't seeing each other, I had an almost daily B question or comment from Joey... it could range from anything as innocent as if I had talked to B at work today or where does B live or if I thought B would mind who Joey cheered for in the NCAA Basketball championship game... to things that could be taken the entirely wrong way... Mommy, did you pet B at work today? being one of them... I know that a big part of Joey's attraction to B is simple... he's a guy who gives Joey the time of day on the rare occaisions that they do see each other.
Since March a lot of people have been seeming to bring up my dating life (or lack there of)... most of the time, when people do that they also bring up B... some have even asked me if we're dating... we're not... its work and its a little complex but he's a decent guy with lots of good qualities... we are close at work, talking several times a day, IMing a good portion of the rest of the day... In addition, he is one of the few that I can discuss certain parts of my job with, so it is nice to have him as a sounding board for those (which were really a thing this week)...
So... getting back to Gwen... she thinks that B and I are it... and she is diving in head first... she has all ready been calling me Mrs. (B's last name) and its all in fun, but at the same time... one of the things she asked me a few weeks ago when this all really seemed to get started was if B and I ever went to lunch together... and that answer is no... we never had... until Friday... Gwen invited to join our little every other week thing... and she told both of us that we couldn't miss it... and blah blah blah... it was all happening Friday... and then Gwen, miss you can't miss the lunch, missed her own lunch... I'm kinda glad of it actually as I was stressing about how crazy she would be about it all...
So instead of it being a crazy lunch, it wound up being very relaxing and comfortable, which was nice. I'd like to do lunch again with him and Gwen still wants the four of us to go one day, so we'll see....
I don't know if I cleared it up or made it much more hazy... did that help at all?
*hugs*

*L* Julie..... thanks for the explaination, though I didn't require one! I just thought it was funny that I didn't get what the HECK you guys were talking about!!!!! It was kind of cute. And I do recall the flyswatter comment!
Karen.... I know about you and the psychic! I should probably get hooked up, too, so that we can all have our future sweeties read!
I don't know........ I think I found mine already. He brought me potting soil today when I mentioned that I was short. *big grin*
BTW....... I have 6 huge pots of flowers now. The last ones were snap dragons for Rosie because they're her favorite flower, and of course, I have callas for moi!

You're welcome... It's just funny... and then I was talking with Karen about it and she sent me some stuff on Joey, which is VERY Joey (Libra Child) and she included some other things for fun... yeah... that's why she included them... :)
They were interesting to read and I saw a lot of me in them... and some of him too... so that was fun... who knows where this thing is going, if anywhere at all... but it has made a lot of things more fun lately...
As for us, we've just planted a big pot of peas... and Joey has planted some of his own in a special cup... he doesn't normally eat peas but SWEARS he'll eat the ones that come off his plants... we'll see!
*hugs*
