Moot Thoughts & Musings

Today is our 3rd anniversary!!

3 sounds like such a little number. It feels like it should be longer than that, only because it's just hard to imagine life before Chris. I must say, I'm quite happy. He's my best friend. I have this favorite past time of reading old journals of mine, especially from college. If you have kept a journal for a long time, it's really entertaining (and embarrassing!) to see what you used to think. I recently read about a couple of old crushes of mine, hooting with laughter along the way. And then I read about Chris entering my life, first through letters, then in person, and the contrast between what I wrote about old crushes and what I wrote about Chris is stark indeed. Here is something real!

Well, that's as mushy as I'm going to get. Chris and I have this habit that makes us perfectly suited for eachother. If one of us says something sweet and mushy, and the other feels "awww", we just can't leave it at that. After the cheese has been sliced, a witty comment gets thrown in at the end that sends the romantic moment out the window and us doubling up with laughter. Call it sharp cheddar, if you will. :) (sorry, that was bad, haha!)

Anyway, what with traveling to weddings and car repairs, we're counting pennies this year, so I think we'll just stick to our favorite meal and have special Anniversay Taco Salad! And he'll come home for lunch, and I'll make BLT's, so I better get to the grocery store to get some L.

In other news, the garden is doing well. I picked a green pepper and three more tomatoes. I planted a few flowers on the porch, so now we have a nice little veranda to relax on. Last year the only plants that didn't just wither under the heat were vinca and coleus. So that's all I got. Then I realized, along with the bougainvillea, there's an awful lot of pink. Oh well. Pink is in fashion this year. :) I planted zinnia seeds a couple of weeks ago, and they're doing fantastically. So maybe we'll get some more color shortly from them.

I also cleaned my desk yesterday, which really deserves mentioning. When I came home from the semester, that is moved all my books and papers from my office at school to home, I just sort of flopped it all over the living room, too tired and overwhelmed to care. Well, several weeks later, I'm recovered enough now to care. And the clincher on it all was Chris's walking in yesterday and saying "hmm, there's no where to sit." Since I had been planning on cleaning up anyway, that was the final motivator I needed. It took me two hours, and I'm heartily in need of another book shelf and a filing cabinet. But it will be my spot for great thinking this summer.
