Quite quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow after work we are driving north 2.5 hours to meet 2 internet ladies who have been inspiring me since I first &#8220;met&#8221; them. I feel like a big geeky stalker. I feel like Cinderella getting to go to the ball (only my real prince is home in Sweden). I hope they like me. I hope they don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m a big dork, even if I AM a big dork. I hope I don&#8217;t laugh at inappropriate moments. I hope they don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s weird that I don&#8217;t drink coffee or wine. Not that I really care if they do, since I really don&#8217;t care what people think of my habits or opinions, but I feel all twittery with anticipation, and I can&#8217;t wait! I wonder if they feel the same way, too. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>And I get to meet Henry and Ollie and Daisy, too, so WOO HOO!<\/p>\n<p>Today, the sun came out, though I didn&#8217;t see much of it since I&#8217;m borrowing someone&#8217;s cubicle and it&#8217;s not close to a window. I&#8217;d forgotten what working in cubes is like, it&#8217;s been so long. It&#8217;s different than the open landscaping I&#8217;ve been stuck in, in Sweden. If I had to choose between the two, I&#8217;d pick cubes over open landscaping any day, but O! How I miss my own office.<\/p>\n<p><b>Great Big Gobs of Gooey, Schmooey Birthday Hugs to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.megfowler.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meg Fowler<\/a> and April Showery Springtime Flowery Birthday Wishes to <a href=\"http:\/\/jackiejj.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">jackiejj<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/blue_eyed_girl.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">blue_eyed_girl<\/a>!<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like going fast.
