Love is tasty!

I've done some things in my life that have seemed to be full of love. Truth is my idea of love changed a lot in the last few days. I'm not going to go into details because they are a little too colorful for posting; like as bright as a rainbow. (Wink Wink Hay)
Then there was today, my last day to fulfill my dream of dogs in the workplace. Of course I didn't do it but as I put that think plastic bag on my hand thinking that somehow that makes picking up after a dog better we bonded and I wish I would have done it.
Even though I didn't eat breakfast because I am just glued to watching AVY in her early morning playtime, it was OK. I was waiting for my wonderful lunch from THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY. I had eaten there before but of course I wasn't about to pay $7 for a slice of cheesecake. However today the company paid for a whole pie which is the way to go since it fed 8 and only cost $25. I fell in love at the first bite and only ate one piece but am pretty sure I could have found a home for all of it.
I think what made lunch so great is that I went to pick it up. It all started on the train once again. I quickly found my train riding friend Anthony and sat by him. The girl sitting next to me kept looking over but we were sort of close so I really didn't want to look at her since it was a little too close for my comfort. Well when we got off the train Anthony is like that girl was checking you out. I'm glad to see that in my old age I still have what it takes. Hayley and Hirama would say it was because it was casual Friday so I had my jeans on, but today I didn't even tuck in my shirt or wear dress shoes, I was going very casual and this hottie responded, lucky for me, I take the train every day, could this be love? It sure started my day off making me feel like I still had the love and feeling.
So work was so slow today. It was so slow that when it was time to pick up the lunch Anthony took me with him. We took the keys to a co-worker's car and headed to the lot. As Anthony started the car I asked him if it ever made him nervous driving other people's cars. Especially since this car was new and this lady could be one that is capable of killing over a dent in her car. Right as I asked that he backed up into the curb. No it just hit the tires but it sure scared him pretty good. Let the fun begin.
We are driving around Palo Alto and we make it to The Heaven of all Cheesecakes. We go up and quickly get pointed to "THE TAKE OUT COUNTER." We told them who we were and what we wanted and they said it wasn't ready. Now this fired me up some since they had told us 20 minutes and it had been at least that long. We waited another 20 minutes for the food and of course CASUAL FRIDAY style was still singing love songs. The girl boxing up our cake was the victim of my interrogation. I said it looked good and asked her if she made it. She responded she did and I said, "Did you make this one special for me?" She smiled and I was just breaking the ice. Then the next girl comes out and I guess she was on another page because when I asked her if she was a master cake maker like her friend she responded, "Oh we don't make them here, they are made in a cheesecake factory in Los Angeles."
The girl left and must have knew that I caught on to her fake job. I was feeling pretty good that she wanted to impress me, too bad she wasn't the one for me, or any other man with a forklift to get her in and out of the car. Now this all could be wrong and I'm just being a weirdo, but if I am, I got a slice of heaven and a Tons of FUN burger for my troubles. It was a great day, too bad the dog missed out on it. At least BRANCH BABY was there to see my joy.
