Cubs, tulips and phone sex
And on Sunday night I went to the Cubs game with FireCracker, TW and FC2, thanks to some free tickets from FireCracker's work! It was so fun!!! And so cold by the end of the night! But since FireCracker and TW are such experts, they came armed with blankets to keep us all a little warmer. And the Cubs won! It was a great game - lots of hits, lots of action, and a very exciting 8th inning for the Cubs. And being out in the cold watching a game reminded me a little of high school football and the excitement of Friday night games!! A couple of pictures from the game: 
Today I did very very bad with waking up. First my mom called at 7:00 a.m. and I talked to her but 3/4ths dazed and went back to sleep as soon as I got off the phone. I was so so so so tired. And also, my room was on fire due to the heat I had set blasting last night so I could warm up after the game, and also from the sun shining directly in the room. Then The German called at 8:00 and I was still dazed. I pretended to him that I was sitting up and completely ready to get in the shower. (I'm sometimes very bad when I'm half asleep in the morning, and have been known to tell blatant lies.) James and Emma kept jumping on the bed and crying for me to wake up and I'd manage to reach my hand up to pet them once before giving up. And when the sun was shining in my eyes, I actually put my pillow over my head and kept sleeping instead of taking that as a clear sign to get up. So long story short, I didn't get to work until just before 11:00 a.m. Very very unacceptable.
I was given flowers today!!! Forty tulips in four different colors!!! I LOVE tulips - they're so perfect, so perfectly colored, so happy, so elegant, so fresh, so natural, and have such perfect form and lines to them. I have them in two glasses now and I can't stop looking at them (I don't have any vases because unlike the tulips, I apparently am not so elegant as to own a vase).
While I love the tulips, I don't like the guy who gave them to me. He's actually kind of creepy and has been for awhile, for at least two years. He's a deputy who works on the ground floor, and I often go past him in the morning to get into the building. He always tries to stop me or to hold my hand as I walk by, and always says often embarrassing things in front of other lawyers who are walking through, and blows kisses at me. I get it, he likes me. But he's so forward and embarrassing about it. And he should get that I don't like it, and don't like him in that way. Otherwise I would have accepted one of his many offers to make me breakfast!
This morning as I walked by he asked me what my favorite flower was and said 
he was going to buy some for me and bring them upstairs. When he came up I was a little surprised and a little embarrassed, but I hugged him. And it turns out that today is the one-year anniversary of his brother's death from cancer, so maybe he just needed that hug and to get his mind off of his brother. It brought me outside my own embarrassment and made me remember that sometimes people just need some attention and something to make them happy. I'll thank him again tomorrow morning when I see him, and give him another hug. But after that, I'm still going to go back to always being nice but also always walking by him before he can grab my hand. But I do love my flowers!!
Oh - and tonight I had phone sex, and that was a first for me! It was hot!!!
