Jump up jump up and get down

So just to refresh your memory, this is my boyfriend.

He is a regular customer who came in during the holiday season wearing a red home knitted red cardigan on. Eager to use my newly acquired British vocabulary I quickly said "wow I really like your jumper" He laughed and said yea it was his winter cardigan and also applauded my use of jumper. he then informed me that that was not indeed his best jumper. There was a a blue warlock hiding in his sweater arsenal that was also knitted but also included large snowflakes. At one I needed to see this sweater. He promised he would wear it next time I he was in. He then came for the next 6 weeks in said jumper, each time at a part of the day when I was not working. My coworkers informed me of this and then of course the fated day when our schedules matched I saw this jewel. It was everything I had ever dreamed of. By this time he had been wearing ti for so long that it was obviously too heavy for the weather and he had taken the liberty to add a large A badge on the chest for his initials of course. I was dazzled. It was a really "you had me at hello". Of course my friend here said but wait I have an even better jumper. But its kind of a friends of mine's and it might be hard to get, but I'll see what I can do. I thought to my self, 'could it be true? Better then initialed snowflake sweater? I'll believe when I see it." Well that fateful day came last weekend. I had actually finished my shift and just so happened to be having a coffee with Allie, when I spotted my friend slipping what I thought must have been a mirage over his head. He marched in wearing the sweater above. If you can not see it that would be a row of pink elephants, followed by large clowns, and trick ponies, accompanied by various stars and diamonds. It also had various holes. I was at a loss for words and found it hard to breathe- is this what heaven feels like? I thought to myself.

Messages to pass on:

*yesterday I was walking up the stairs on the bus to the upper level and I fell, like I do most times, but this time I grabbed onto the calf of the man walking in front of me. When I went to go down the stairs to get off the bus I fell and ended up sitting down on the stairs and hitting my head on a ledge.

*a man came into Starbucks today and asked for a baked potato.

*my mom got here yesterday and I couldn't be happier!!!!! Since I've been gone she seems to have amputated her own legs and replaced them with those from an Ethiopian.

I am actually cry-laughing imagining your bus fall. I don't know what is funnier the fact that you grabbed a stranger's calf or that you sat on the stairs or that you hit your head.

Nice fall! It shakes me up that you call jumper boy your boy freind.I think it quite appropiate that this relationship is founded on a piece of clothing worn by women in the West.
Miss you!
Peace

I am now sitting in the famous library and emailing / blogging and I must say they should have a few rules for the library like the bus 1. don't take off your shoes because of smelly feet - OH-- he doesn't have his shoes off after all they just reek through the canvus. 2 The bathroom is in the bowels of the basement - get the pun -and should be upstasirs so we don't loose valuable emailing time.3.I think rule number 3 they actually have and that is to put all the one finger typers together, i actually feel like a speed demon on my typing skills... Take care nice reading your comments from across the sea....Anne
