Sleepless in DC....

My trip to Baltimore was awesome. It was great to see Francine again, and to meet her husband again, and sister-in-law. Her hubby lost 140 lbs since the last time we met. It was quite awesome, all the hard work he's put into himself.

Tropical Starm Ernesto, a power outage, Chinatown, the National Zoo, Annapolis, shopping with my best friend, midshipmen, and the National Art Gallery (Can you say Dutch Painters?).... They live right on Chesapeake Bay. It was semi-nirvana.

Othello called every night to "tuck" me in. The farther I got from him, the sharper my feelings came into focus. We've been spending tons of time together and upon my return, he gave me a rose (albeit with an apology "Sorry these weren't your favorite flower - I forgot what it is... what is it? I won't forget next time").

Last night, I was hopped out on allergy medication. Sacramento is the allergy armpit of the state. Three times I stopped myself from saying "I love you"... I do. But I still stopped myself from saying it because he claims he's "not really sure if he knows how to love"...

Anyways.... come Alicia Keys... bring it on home....!
