Sitting in my backyard, on my laptop

under my pergola, enjoying this warm California weather. My vacation is over. Tomorrow I go back to business as usual. I enjoyed my time off. Yesterday, we went to the Norton Simon museum, stopped in Old Town for some of Bella's Pizza, and then went across the street to Dot's cupcakes before taking a stroll down Colorado. Saturday we celebrated Memorial Day with a cookout in my backyard. I bought a kiddie pool to rest our feet in and we ate and ate and laughed and talked until the sun went down around 8 pm-ish. Then I watched the movie "Taken" with the guy who's wooing me. He set up my pergola the day before, and mowed the backyard. We've been getting along splendidly. All week we hung out, shopping, eating, movie going, cooking, chilling...I've enjoyed his company immensely. He's sitting next to me as I type this, playing jazz on his laptop while perusing the net. Later on I'll straighten up my house, cook dinner, shower, read a little and get ready for the rest of the week back at work. He'll be at home by then.
