The Day after V-Day/Piazza De Nardi

First thing's first: obviously.


Today when J picked up V (we carpool) the first question was how the conversation with RLB went. [At this point we should clarify that RLB is distinct from various fake boyfreinds which are featured on television shows (reality or otherwise) and vampire-themed movies. Also note that RLB is, in fact, not an actual boyfriend...yet].


The paperweight hearts and Dollarama stickers still don our walls...we've already been asked how long they'll stay -- oh I'm sorry, is there a rule about how long hearts can be up? No one told us. One year V had her Christmas tree set up until just before valentines, so we're doing pretty well, all things considered.


Since yesterday was so busy we started off the today looking at our regular sites: V hit up

• www.theshoppingchannel.com (for the show stopper, today's is an earing and pendant set from "Himalayan Gems" for $79.83 or four easy payments of $19.96, decidedly, funny and not worth our hard-earned cash);
• www.tmz.com (to check on any celebrity deaths); and,
• www.theweathernetwork.com (because we don't have a window and want to know what the weather is like).

J looked at

• www.groupon.com and www.dealfind.com for deals; and,
• www.perezhilton.com to check up on her celebrity boyfriend, Zac Efron.

Well, with hardly any sleep after being pretty excited about my first texting and HOUR long conversation with RLB, J picked me up for work and I had to tell her all about it.  Did I mention he said Happy Valentines Day twice!!! Once by text and once in real conversation :)


He also said we could get together this week if I wanted, I just had to let him know.  Did I mention it has been almost 2 years!!! I am soooo nervous and want to get the ball rolling to see if it goes anywhere but am also scared too because I don't want it to not work out.  First question... When is it okay to ask him over for movies and a sleep over?  Not a dirty sleep over, I'm not like that!


Second question, Should I text him first today to see how his day is going or do I wait to hear from him?  I don't want to seem crazy right away, but I also want to let him know I am thinking about him.
Wow... I feel like a -10 with all these emotions!


Can't wait to see what happens tonight.  He did say we would DEFINITELY talk today.

-10, J
V has been going non-stop about RLB and I don't blame her. The closest that I've come to having my own RLB lately is a stranger that V met who goes only by his last name (one of those) who sent me scattered texts after she met him during a weekend visit to a nearby town.
After insulting my lunch V suggested that we go to Piazza De Nardi, an indoor market close to our office building. We went and V instantly began planning exactly what she'd buy for her first date night with RLB -- she would insist that she'd slaved all day in the kitchen and couldn't reveal the secret family recipie. I would not put this elaborate scheme past her.
