so today has been a busy day! by 9:00am I got dressed, went to condo to turn on lights, talked to neighbor and had coffee together... then got a haircut, went to beauty supply store to buy (you guessed it) beauty supplies when I got the call from boy #2. he said he'd call around 10, and so far this boy is prompt.

i called him back when after arriving home... we had a great conversation! spoke for just under 2 hours, found out a bit about one another, and we have plans to talk again. we've decided to race one another - Who Can Get Their Taxes Finished First? there may be games and prizes for the winner of this race. but i digress... here's the lesson in geography: India... Indiana... India... Indiana... India... Indiana! yes, i read his message as growing up in Indiana, then he and his family moved to Wisconsin about 10 years ago... nope! got the story wrong (i had difficulty learning to read when i was younger - is it that obvious?) he mentioned something about India, and i asked when did he live there - because didn't he say he grew up in Indiana? hahahahahaha! We both got a huge chuckle out of that one. yes, he has an accent.. but instead of a northern accent it's an Indian one :)

went on second date with boy #1 today, and it was nice... the only thing was we could't talk very much because the museum was very crowded, filled with families & children... he didn't suggest we go out for a drink/bite to eat afterwards, but said he'd call... so we left it at that - we'll see :) i'll definiately go out again, but i wonder if we'd make better friends instead? perhaps i stunned him with my beauty - i did look rather cute today, new haircut and all. it could totally be the cat thing too - i was very good, was open during the date...but he was very reserved... i wonder if it bummed him out that i'm allergic? who knows... perhaps it has nothing to do with the cat, right T&E? :))

bought the 2006 tax software to get the paperwork accomplished... that's one more thing crossed off my list-of-things-to-do. had a showing today on the condo... haven't heard back about the condo contract from yesterday. so we'll see. and the insurance company has agreed to give me a new furnace! now, don't get terribly excited. the new furnace is the cheap part - i have to pay out-of-pocket for the house modifications... so we're looking at just over $1,100 dollars - and if i want a higher efficiency furnace (which i do) then it'll be closer to $4,500. must sell condo! but i'm glad i'll get a little help from the insurance money.

i'm off to go cross additional things from my to-do list. take care!
rain.
