Goofballs

My brother and I, we were very special children.

And we had a very special mother that made us very special costumes.

Mom grew out of the costume making. My brother and I never grew out of being goofballs.

Issues, I have them.

I have issues.

There, I said it. I have huge, scary, elephant in the room issues. Issues that mean I expect you to leave, to stop caring, and to hurt me.

For years and years I spent my free time building walls, thinking that if I just kept everyone at a distance, they couldn't hurt me. It was going great.

Then you happened. For almost three years, you have been chipping away at all of my stupid walls. And although sometimes I curse you, because letting you in means you can hurt me, I am also so very very happy. Letting you in feels right, but it scares the shit out of me.

So now that all of those walls are cracked and chipped and falling, all of those issues start coming to the forefront. When you don't call, or respond, or just are having an off day, I will assume it's me. I will get insecure and assume all of the worst things. It's something I'm working on, day by day, but I can't do it without you.

I need constant reassurance, at least for now, and I am sorry for that. But I promise that in return for your patience you will get hugs, kisses, and several hours of snuggle time.

YeeHaw Industries

I'm loving the Yee-Haw Industries etsy shop right now. The old school, wood cut prints are perfect in ever way, and I want to hang them all over my walls. That black matted Old School print is destined to be in my bedroom.

Life Lessons

As we express our gratitude,
we must never forget that the highest appreciation
is not to utter words, but to live by them.

-JFK

I don't thank my parents enough for forcing me to do many, many things that I really, really did not want to do.

Many many times I was woken up at the crack of dawn. On a Saturday. To volunteer. At the time, these seemingly tortuous incidents were categorized as "character building."

Now, with hindsight being 20/20, it is easier to see that they really were.

Little Kisses

Making kissy faces at you is easily one of my favorite things to do. Ever.

And I'm sorry that I can't stop myself from doing it dozens of times everyday that I see you. I just can't help myself.

Away We Go

I finally got around to watching Away We Go, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why I waited so long. It's funny and poignant, and sososo sweet. After watching it, I feel so smitten and so heartsick, in the best way possible.

Go watch it.

I adore you...

... more than anything else in the entire world. You make me so much happier than I ever thought possible.

It's true...

If you got a dime for every time you crossed my mind, you would be a very very rich man.

Stuck on you!

This extra strength glue ad cracked me up. So brilliant...

It made me think about the actual glue of a relationship. What is it that holds people together? Sometimes I feel like it's just gravity, and completely unavoidable.

Listen to me.

I believe this with all my heart. You must, too. All of this will work out...

... and I adore you, more than anything else.

Oh so evasive...

This comic on xkcd referencing this article has had me giggling for hours.

I can't say whether or not I agree with the article, but it's certainly interesting... and entertaining.

The Caps Rap

This has had me giggling for the past 20 minutes. How many 'guins could Ovechkin eat if Ovechkin could eat 'guins?

How brilliant is that?

That's it.

What else could we possibly need? I just need you to work on the and part.

Ouch.

I need you to stop telling me that you care and start showing me.


This hurts too much, and I need that to stop.

To 2010!

2009 was certainly full of ups and downs. I'm looking forward to a new year that will hopefully hold more travel, less drama, and a LOT more snuggle time. Also, I can not wait for the time I will get to spend with these two people:

I happen to adore them, above all else.
