Vince Jamison (Monday, Sept 29)

So I was in the storeroom at the bookstore Monday morning, minding my own business, when I hear someone out front BELLOWING for me to come and wait on her.

I went out there fixin' to give her a piece of my mind, I tell you what.

But then it turned out to be that TOTAL HOTTIE Laurel Hastings who lives next door to me! w00t!



She was buying a book on fire management, which I thought was pretty damn funny, seeing as how she just set fire to her kitchen yesterday. Well, OK, she says she didn't cause the fire, that it was bad wiring, but hey, I've lived here for three years and never had a problem with my wiring yet, so I'm thinking it was really her burning some bacon or something and she's just too ashamed to admit it. But, since she's a total smokin' hottie - hahahahaha, get it? Smokin'?!?!? - well, I didn't say anything about the book and how funny I thought it all was.



We talked for a really long time and I told her all about my family and how come I moved to this town and how I got started with my bookstore and then we talked about the city council and how I think they suck and the new zoning laws and the broohaha over that and how all the lawyers down at the courthouse are just a bunch of crooks and in the city council's pocket. Laurel seemed really interested in local politics.



Yep, she's totally hot. But you know me, well, I guess you don't know me, but never mind that. I have a THING for fit looking redheads. The only problem with Laurel is that I'm pretty sure she has a boyfriend. She didn't say anything about him today, but I've seen him coming 'round her place kind of late at night.



Still, I think I can get her. I mean, I definitely sensed some chemistry between us!
