- making pasta salad with kale pesto, vegetable pasta, chicken breast, tomato, celery, and onions
- sitting on the couch together watching the Redskins victory
- getting sick at work, Bob rushing home to make sure I was okay
- finding my $30 bare minerals makeup that I lost two months ago between my center console and passenger seat
- editing in my car, getting a new idea and shouting to myself with enthusiasm
- getting a flat tire in the parking lot at night, Bruce staying late to change it for me, buying him a bottle of 12-year single malt scotch for his troubles
- "Let me know if you need anything." "Just you."
- Bonefish Grill with Bob, saucy shrimp and pumpkin ravioli with sage, grilled scallops and laughter
- "It's... actually kind of weird when I wake up and you're not here."
- hanging out with Tom and Mitch at our grand opening party, drinking free beer and wine
- the shop foreman approaching us and saying, "Well, I think it's time for me to go. They're all out of beer."
- spending 5/7 days this week at Bob's
- joking around with Denise in our office on Saturday - "_Where_ is my print out?" and me replying, "I spent TWO HOURS WONDERING THAT THIS MORNING", cracking up together all day
- the power going out at Bob's, taking a walk at the nearby outdoor mall to clear our heads and finally decide on a plan together
- peppermint mocha lattes with Jennifer, looking at the mural of authors: "I have a giant crush on Kafka..." "It's the intense stare." "And the pasty skin and guyliner."
- going to a friend of a friend's open mic night on Friday night, staying out til midnight, listening to bad writing and pretty music and watching the couples be moved, feeling inspired
- driving around looking at giant houses together, trying to find one to buy (!)
- making myself a chocolate peppermint milkshake, then sitting down on the floor to edit my novel
- making thick and spicy butternut squash and kale soup with pastina
- feeling unbearably distant by being so close to Bob and yet unable to touch him for three days, going to see him after work, cuddling + squeezing his shoulder, wishing I could disappear entirely into him
- Thanksgiving with my family, hugging my sister as we are finally getting along again, turkey and stuffing and sweet potato casserole made from the sweet potatoes we grew
- "No, call me."
- staying up til midnight finishing "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"
- lounging around with Bob, going to visit him at lunch and eating my Thanksgiving leftovers cranberry sauce-stuffing-turkey sandwich
- spending the night nestling into Bob's shoulder, being happy with him
