[B]I wanted a Spa Yellow, but the Fun Police said no to that ...... so I went for the Monte Carlo Blue.

 

I wish we could get MC blue here in the states....really like it! Oh well.....I'm starting to lean towards black again (to the horror of Kelly who is pushing for silver...lol)

 

MC blue. I that color, but alas it's never been sold in the USofA.

Jim, glad you survived the big party! Pix????

Also, good luck in your car hunt. No point in rushing, I guess.

 

Have to develope the film....I also have some pics from while I was in Boston that I think I'll have to send you (i gotta get my STOOK just so I can share all my stupid images....lol)

Why DON'T they make MC Blue for the states any damn way?

 

I don't know why they don't sell MC blue in the states, Jim. :baffled:

Lookin' forward to the pics! Hope you're feeling well (and not too much older!)

 

hahahaha...I wasn't sick or anything...but I was beat! The morning after my birthday party I went to The National Institute of Health's Medical Library and helped Kelly compile research for her comps on three hours of sleep. Then I spent all day cooking dinner for all my house guests while Kelly slept...THEN I went out again...by the time Sunday came and I was in the office...I was licked....

 

Sounds totally awesome, Jim.

What's Kelly studying for, Jim? Medicine?

 

She's getting her doctorate in Neuro-Psychology....she needed my help compiling sources....she thought it was funny I am faster at it than she is because, after all, all I do is "doodle houses"....lol...

 

!!! Doodles indeed! Nothing like having your better half respect your work!!!

That's super, Jim. I'll bet she keeps you on your toes.

 

Yeah....Kelly likes catching me off-guard, that's for sure. My favorite example:


Kelly was up in CT for a week this past summer, visiting her parents. I was still down here at work (of course). One day that week, I was walking back into the office building from lunch and saw a bright lemon-yellow car in front of the lobby. Out comes this really little guy with a big vase of flowers. We both get in the elevator, which is already full of girls from the office below mine.

*insert sound of girls "oooooo"-ing at flowers*

The little guy has no idea where he is going...so he is passing the card that goes with the flowers to every girl in the elevator hoping they would be able to give him directions. One of the girls says "Studioz...no..I don't know where that is"

I realize the guy means Studio Z (my firm) so I ask him if I could help. Now, I figure the flowers are for Sarah, our intern, from who-knows....but I look at the card..


"Wait....that's me.."
"...you know who this is?"
"No...I mean...this is MY name"

*insert sound of girls "oooooo"-ing at flowers...followed by snickering and whispers*

I turn bright red...even the delivery guy is giggling...I open the card: "Surprise!~Love, Kelly" My bosses took the time out of their very busy schedules to pipe smooth jazz into the office intercom and lower the lights....smart-asses....

Kelly had found the Bethesda florist...ordered the flowers...and got them to deliver it at the exact time when I get back from lunch...all from 350+ miles away!
