Waiting for his flight and teasing him for killing time

It's fun teasing my guy.

"How long do you have to wait until you board your flight?" I asked him.
"I have an hour," he said.
"So, you have an hour to spare. You asked yourself, 'Who can I talk to while I kill an hour? Oh, I know. Cutiebootie. She has no life,'" I teased.
"That sounds so bad, sweetie. You know that I want to talk and be with you all the time," he admitted.
"I know. It just sounds more dramatic my way," I said, laughing.

I wished him a safe flight and looked forward to seeing him at the hotel.

Phone tag to say hi before his flight

On Friday, just before 15:00, I had to leave my desk at work. I came back five minutes later and there was a missed call on my cell phone.

I didn't recognize the number. It was definitely an overseas phone number.

I needed Google to look up the country code. It was from the United Arab Emirates. It was my guy contacting me.

I decided to go into another room at work and call from a work phone. The first time, it rang, but I received a recording. I tried it again and my guy picked up.

"Hello?" he answered.
"Hey, it is you!" I exclaimed.
"Yes! How are you?" he asked me.
"Good. How long until your flight?" I asked him.
"I'm boarding as we speak," he advised. "I just wanted to say hi."
"I'm glad that you did. Safe travels and I'll see you soon."

He definitely misses me. I like when he calls me unexpectedly. It's sweet and thoughtful.

E-reader sale and wooden cheeseboards

I decided to leave work before 17:00 on Friday. I ended up having a nice dinner at my favourite deli. The server there is always nice and recognizes me as a regular. It feels like home.

After that, I visited Chapters, which primarily sells books, but also tea, home decorations, and stationery. The Kobo brand of e-readers are there. Oddly, I bought my Kobo Mini reader that I currently own from an online shopping network.

Anyway, I was looking at the newer, larger ones. The Kobo Aura is on sale. Part of me wants to get it, because I love a sale and I'm just a technology geek. I don't need one. It's definitely a want.

The sad thing was that I couldn't find anyone to help me get one in the store. I suppose that's why I tend to shop online for electronics. At least I got to try the one that I want. I can simply buy it online.

The crazy thing is that when I do buy almost anything online on Chapters's Web site using a Visa card, I get 20% off. I guess that the store want to discourage folks from talking to read people and buying merchandise in-store?

Chapters in an interesting place. The wooden cheeseboards remind me of decent spanking paddles. In Stockholm, there was a souvenir one. My guy playfully used it on me in the store.

I should ask for this wooden cheeseboard for my birthday. My guy would enjoy using it on me.
