I'm pleased. Today, I wandered about town, and went into the new candy shop. It's called Pixie Sweets. Here is my rundown: Over priced, understocked. I forsee it going under in six months or less. On the other hand they have licorice wheels and anise balls and clove gum, all of which I bought a little of and cheerfully mowed on. I love weird candy. I'm glad Loren shares my fascination with all things licorice and anise (though I don't quite understand the whole 'salted licorice' thing, which he likes). On another, vaguely related note, I'm happy I'm with Loren. It's very nice to be home, but I don't mean just that. We hardly ever see each other during the day. It usually goes: we wake up, have breakfast, then he drops me off at home, or where ever I need to go, then we both work and do chores and things, and he picks me up again at about midnight and takes me to his place, and we sleep. I always look forwards to when he picks me up. Sometimes I fall asleep on the couch waiting and he'll wake me up kissing up my neck (which is a weird sensation when sleeping, but not altogether unwelcome). Sometimes during the day, when I'm with company, I just want to leave and go find Loren. But I can't. For various reasons. Sometimes, when in Red Deer, I'd be at a party or something, and I'd leave early to catch his phone call before he went to bed. Not that I didn't like the people at the party, or I wasn't having a particularely good time, I just would rather be talking to Loren. Sounds dumb, eh? I always promised myself when I was young I wouldn't be one of those sappy types, so I'll lay off. I just like him. Is that so wrong? :D . ~Rosie. PS, I roamed the second hand stores today (and the new candy store! Oooh, anise balls, licorice wheels and clove gum!), and at the Salvation Army I got a beautiful red Chinese silk scarf for a dollar. It probably needs a wash, and it definately needs and iron, but it's beautiful and shimmery and I adore it. I love silk, especially scarves.
