hello my love,

a few years ago i remember doing a meme of some sort and one of the questions was asking what you most loved about your spouse. i couldn’t think of any single one thing that i love most about you, and my answer was that what i loved most was that thing you can’t quite describe.

that magical, mystical, wonderful feeling of need and comfortable, desire and belonging, peace and longing.

but you aren’t the only one who invokes those feelings in me. there is another.

theo.

i feel the same longing for theo when we are apart for too long. i feel the same comfort and quiet happiness upon reunion.

just as i love you and don’t want to share you and my time with you, neither do i like to share theo. i’m perhaps even more possessive of him than i am of you.

but i am quite happy to share you with each other. i thought that maybe to celebrate this day you would like to have a threesome. me, you, and theo.

let me know :)

a&f

you and theo

the winner is..

To choose my winner, I wanted something a bit more interesting than a random number generator, so I enlisted the help of someone very special :)

There were 271 entries all together, so I printed three sets of numbers. The first was only 0, 1 and 2 but the second and third were complete sets from 0-9. I put them into three bowls and had Kristian draw one number from each bowl, thus giving a three digit number which was the number of the winning commenter.

The numbers he drew were 0, 8 and 2 – comment number 82. This was La Señorita Pil, so she will get to choose between the ring and the amulet. Congratulations :)

Thankyou to everyone who came to my blog and entered. And the whole OWOH project! I have seen lots of interesting things in the blogs I’ve visited, and still I didn’t get through a lot of the list!

the winner is..

A common theme of discussion at the moment is death and the state of being dead. Particularly as it relates to Galen and my father. (Abigail likes to tell people that Galen died on the road and he wasn’t holding a hand and “he’s still dead.”)

Stephanie asked me last night how old my dad was when he died. After thinking for a minute I said, “Um.. twenty-eight.”

Then it occurred to me that I’m 28, too. Then it occurred to me that he died in April, around three months after his birthday. It’s now February, which is about three months after November (my birthday).

I used an age calculator to figure out that he was 10315 days old when he died. Today, I am 10311 days old.

I think of what I have done so far and things I want to do, learn, see still.. and I hope that I have a lot more than four days left.

getting into a big girl

Abigail wants to know often if things she does means she is a “big girl” now. It’s difficult to explain that no one particular thing will define her as a “big girl”. She seems to have grasped that concept though, so now she says that she is “getting into a big girl” when milestones are passed.

Yesterday she had her first day in the pre-school room. This is the last step before she goes to “big school” next year. The friends that she played with most had all already moved into the pre-school room a few weeks ago so she was very pleased to be able to play with them again.

Then this evening she told me she’s “not a big girl”. On the weekend I washed the girl’s sheets and when I remade her bed I asked her if she wanted to take off the side guard thingy now since she is getting so big. She agreed that she did. The first night was fine, but the next night we woke up suddenly when Stephanie yelled “Abby fell out of bed!” She had a hug and went back to sleep ok but obviously she was put off by the experience and decided that’s an area of bigness she’s not yet ready to tackle.
