My roomie is once again out of town this past weekend, so I took the opportunity to submerge myself in painting the living room in her adsence. The last project wheed to take the opportunity to do something productive for myself and our household. Part of the plan of me moving in with her was so we could help another organize our lives. One way we discussed my helping her was doing some work around the house. Manly things!

So in the midst of painting Saturday afternoon I receive an unexpected phone call and invitation to lunch from "coffee house man". This is a very welcome break to my day. We met at the coffee house and he drove me to a very cute deli. I was surprised when he bought my lunch but accepted the gift without expectation. We had a great visit.

I look forward to learing more about my new friend with a boyfriend of 5 years.

So today I sit in wonder at how my painting job transformed our once dreary and dismal living space into a sheek gathering space!

A new friend, fresh clean walls and I almost forgot, watching Toby McGuire in Seabiscuit! Life is good.
