On a beautiful Monday afternoon

Delightful Chinese lunch out with oldest daughter---being waited on by charming Mexican waiter (older and very attractive with goatee and short, spiked hair in the front and an amazing braid down his back) who commented on having not seen us in awhile (he waited on us the last time we went around the holidays).  I asked him how he could remember folks so well and he followed up with how he couldn't forget such beautiful ladies.  A guarantee of a good tip with that sort of comment, beautiful or not.  But always feel lovely after contact with charming men---just doesn't happen often enough!  Must get out more, but thankful that I married a man who also knows how to turn a phrase.

Working on website additions with Gary who's making accoutrements to go with electronic cigarettes.  Folks who smoke these often have special holders that contain the batteries/flavorings.  Trying to give Gary's woodworking business a bit of a boost with more products.  You gotta try.  Gratefully, he's already had some interest shown by a couple of women who he's met on related message boards and one he's already done business with.

And getting the house whipped into shape with company coming.  The heater's off and a few windows are cracked open with the temperatures in the upper 50's.  Sunny and warm enough to air out the house.  As I rest here in the bed, I can hear the puppy, Romeo, playing with a plastic milk jug---banging it around like a soccer ball.  Least he's not tugging down the shirts on the line, I don't think!

Must go now.  Need to chill before getting back up and working.  Enjoy your day!
