i love my new guitar

i love my new acoustic electric guitar. it was well worth the wait.
thank you so much sweetie, i can't wait to write you a love song - that ROCKS!

sunken treasure

did you ever feel like you need to dive deep below the surface of things to get to the treasure? i feel like this is what our winter has been like so far for me. i am diving in and going deeper to explore what lies beneath the surface. sometimes swimming away from the shallows, i get lost in an undercurrent of thoughts and then end up almost drowning...thank god i have you to throw me a life preserver!

thanks for listening and supporting my thoughts and feelings this past valentine's day. i think the expectations and pressures of holiday's like these (christmas especially) make me a little sad. as little girls hallmark and tiffany's tells us to expect chocolate and roses, fancy gifts and jewels on this day. i have always thought it was better to tell someone you love them everyday, instead of waiting to show it on a just one day. which is what you do for me. not a day has gone by that you don't tell me you love me.

i am sorry i was emotional, i am chalking a lot of it up to fake hormones racing through my body...i am sorry that i didn't accept your hard drive gift. i don't want you to spend your money on me..but, i do appreciate the thoughtfulness behind it, and that is what i took from the gesture.

all i ever want from you is to know that you think i am special and i am not sure any material item could ever give me that. so thank you for your love.

Valentine's Day 2009

It was our first Valentine's Day together and it was one to remember. We met in the afternoon and started our day as you untangled me from my computer project. I had added a 1TB RAID1 setup consisting of two 1TB Samsung drives to my home file server. Even though it was geeky and fun it was no match for the attraction I have for you.

We exchanged gifts, and you loved your chocolates and iPod car charger dock. You didn't want the hard drive though, which is ok. I have plenty of use for it, but I wanted to protect your data from loss. Then I opened my gifts; a black dress shirt that fit just right, and a vest that was a little too tight. THere was also love candy filled with expletives, a book of love lists, and a home made card that warmed my heart. We had a quick bedroom celebration, and since you love your man in black, so I wore my new shirt and took you out for some Side Car lunch.

While there we ate and drew like we always do but you seemed a little sad. So I tried to get you to open up and once you did we had a nice talk and shared our feelings and concerns. You cheered up a little and we finished our drinks and drawings before heading home to have a barbeque with the dudes and their dates.

The rest of the weekend was lovely too, we went back to Apamate for an awesome brunch. We got domestic at Target and bought new pillows and a mattress cushion to sleep on. Watched Dodgeball the movie with super jumbo pizza with friends, and cuddled the night away. It was the perfect Valentine's Day weekend.
