Welcome to Gaia! ::

*walks through the double doors of the bar, loaded down with shopping bags and packages again. Smiling and very contented, she piles her things on a table near the office entrance, walking behind the counter to the espresso machine. A extra large mochaccino with a double shot later, she sits on her corner stool, crossing her legs and enjoying the quietness of the bar*

{{CRAP! stressed Karrie did bring cookies, and me a personal box! gonk I hope they're not too old. I'm going for them anyway. ninja }}

*aimlessly looking around the bar, she sees a couple of boxes on the far end of the bar. Placing her caffeine down, she stands and walks to them, noting one of them had her name on it. Opening the one labeled for her, she smiles at the various delights inside, inhaling the sweet scent. Knowing the baked goods were from Karrie, she made a mental note to thank him for such a wonderful present. Grabbing both boxes, she sets the one unlabeled in the center of the counter to be seen, and takes her back to her stool, propping back up before selecting a goody to go with her mochaccino*

((I may be out for today... i ate a sauce that I had very server intolerance reactions to at my department luncheon and now I'm a complete mess gonk much love and hugs, for example i forgot i typed this out and it's been sitting here for like 15 minutes.... ))

((LEKO NNNNNOOOOO!!!!!! *RAZZ BEATS UP Her Intolerance monster.* STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!!!!))

*taking care of Lo during the first trip down, she comes back up for the rest of her packages, groaning when she sees that it'll take three instead of the initial two trips. Third time around, she refills her mochaccino, mentally scolding herself as she slips a chewy three chocolate chip cookie from her goody box Karrie left her. Telling herself emphatically that the first of the year she was going to go into rigorous training for four months, she smirks and sips, enjoying her treat, a bit too much. After a minute, she loads up the rest of her things in one arm, finishing her last trip.

In her place, she unpacked the rest of her packages, hoping that was the last shopping run she'd have to make until after Christmas. In the kitchen, she starts dinner, Lo lounging around in the living room. She'd been practically buried in paperwork since her return, and finally could breathe, having the bulk of it filed and stored. Deciding that she needed to hire a third in charge for situations such as that, she would wait until the holidays before doing so. Right now she had a lot to plan and get ready for, not to mention her and Flames birthday. She hadn't talked to him in over a week, rightly so due to his own paperwork burial.

They usually celebrated their birthday together, but she wasn't so sure about this year. With him dating dame, she could only imagine that he'd want to spend it with her. Waving a hand through the air, she tries to concentrate on preparing her and Los dinner*

-dame wonders if she's a ninja since Icy came and got the packages without even noticing her. dame giggles to herself and goes behind the bar to get something warm and chocolatey- ninja

(( sweatdrop I almost said the word too!! gonk ))

((Okay, lovey. ^_^))
