Jaime's play date

So... Jaime went on a blind date today to meet A.'s cat Phoebe. I don't think he made a very good impression though, because he was a scaredy cat -- get it? -- and hid under A.'s bed the whole time. Or at least I assume that's what he did; we did leave and have lunch for an hour, but he was under the bed when we left and also when we got back, so... I don't think Phoebe even got a good look at him. I doubt he came off as very manly, though, since there was just the hiding under the bed and then the being forced out from under the bed by Mommy and Aunty A. before being stuffed back into his pink cat carrier. He seemed relieved to see Talis when we got home and is now sleeping next to me. Phoebe was totally looking at A. like, "Did you know there's another CAT here?"

The Market Arms was very cute. I was expecting a dark, dank bar atmosphere, but it was actually very open and bright. We both ordered the fish and chips, which was fine, but the fries were a bit soggy (even for me, and I usually like soft fries). I should have ordered the Full English as I'd been planning to, sigh. The butterfly shrimp appetizer was excellent, though.

Tonight K. and I are going to have Mediterranean food and go watch The King's Speech. Woot!

It is so flippin' cold and windy here. It wouldn't be so cold if it weren't so darn windy. Isn't CHICAGO supposed to be The Windy City? Dude, I'm not going till May! Stop giving me a preview!
