Sunday in the Park with Lisa

Today was a completely gorgeous day, so I figured I'd get out and run to the Park. I was just contemplating on how guys are most likely to hit on me when I'm really nasty looking (which, trust me, I was--if anybody else lived here I'd have to take a shower, but the cat can just hold his nose), and boom. Right then a guy walked up to me, offered me a fruity Mentos, and quoted Louisa May Alcott.

Sadly, if he had been a little quicker with the quote, I'd probably have taken the Mentos.




(And for those of you that I know are peeing your pants out there, it was technically LMA misquoting Hamlet "Sweets for the sweet".)


Also, my new favorite website is couchtuner.com. Whoever runs that site is on my Christmas Card list--assuming that this year I do Christmas Cards. Maybe I'll take a really sad pic of Nigel dressed up in a reindeer suit and while I sit there looking like the shy and retiring old maid I am :)

What people think.

So we're going to play True/False about me. Guess which statement is true:

1) I can still ride horses.
2) I am a 17 year old's idol.
3) My family believes that I've moved to North Carolina because I'm in the CIA (at least they don't know it's to cover up that out-of-wedlock child!).
4) I write letters to a 75 year old Scottish man.
5) The only Jane Austen spinoff I've ever liked is one where Jane's a 285 year old vampire.
6) I love my job.
8) I finally found a guide at an historical site who gave me permission to snoop in the out-of-bounds areas.

Yes, all of these things are true. Well, everything not in a parenthesis is true.

And so as not to create confusion: I talk to the Scottish guy about traveling and photography, I am not pulling an Anna Nicole; I've heard that there are good JA spinoffs out there, just haven't found em yet; I love going off-site for my job, it's the best; and yes, Janelle, he did actually give me permission: "I don't think anybody's going to cry if you go upstairs in the smaller cabin." It's total carte blanche.
