I'm having fun with my house guest.  This afternoon I took Laurie out shopping.  First stop was Home Depot, where I needed to pick up a few locking door handles for a little project I'm working on.  Then, a quick stop at Trader Joe's to stock up on cheesecake and some delicious soft cheeses.   Finally, we stopped at Fry's Electronics where I picked up some very special equipment I'll be configuring and installing shortly.  Busy, busy...
We got home, and I fixed lunch and prepared a special treat for my LGBTQ social group, got dressed properly, and took Laurie in hand to head to our social meetup and shopping experience at a local botique.  The meetup went well, and much shopping was accomplished.  I've picked up more boots, a nice black dress with embroidered hem, and a lovely Calvin Klein black and white jumpsuit.  Laurie found some very nice jewelry items there, and one of the staff did a great job of distracting her during our group's planning session.  All approved of her, just as I though they would.
We went out for dinner afterward, where I plied her with far too many carbs.  We returned to my nest, and, while Laurie drowsed over her keyboard, I attended to a few tasks, installing the new locks on room doors and secreting the keys away in a safe place.  
It has been a busy, fun day, after a wonderful several days entertaining my gracious guest.  I'll have her all tucked in, all safe and ever so secure in just a little while.  Oh, yes.  Ever so...
