Warm Fuzzies! (duck!)

Things I really love about Calvin

  • The way he calls me ten times a day just because he wants to talk.
  • The way he comes looking for me or calls for me when I've been out of the room for more than five minutes ("Laura?? Whatcha doin'?").
  • His offer to go and buy me some cookies and cream ice cream when it was discovered that two little piggies (who shall remain nameless, but their initials are Michael and Marie) consumed the entire half gallon in one night.
  • After turning down his offer to get more ice cream, being presented with a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich to share with a glass of milk, while watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special. (Mmmm... boysenberry jam!)
  • That funny voice he uses when he calls me "baby!"
  • The way he looks when he takes a long pull off a beer (I'm not nutty - he's sexy!).
  • His skillet breakfasts. Oh yes.
  • The way his neck smells (and his sweaters).
  • The way he scooches his back up against me in bed because he wants to snuggle.
  • The fact that he never, ever lets me down. Or anybody else, for that matter.
  • The way he kisses the top of my head.
  • Did I mention his skillet breakfasts? Yes? Um, okay.
  • His hands.
  • His ability to put anything together, fix anything, and build anything.
  • The cute way he sleeps, on his side with his hands tucked up under his head.
  • I've mentioned it before, but it bears repeating - the way he brings me coffee every. single. morning.
  • The silly way he dances around to disco music (no, I'm not making fun of the way he dances - he dances silly on purpose).
  • The way he laughs. And his smile.
  • The strength in his arms when he hugs me.
  • The way he plays "our" song, often, just because.
I love being inspired to dwell on everything good about Calvin, just by virtue of waking up next to him in the morning. Nothing "special" happened to make me have a warm-fuzzy fit today. Unless you count just getting to spend another day of our lives together. That's special.

Public Opinion Requsted

What do you guys think of phantom entries? I mean the ones which were written while in a certain mood, but for whatever reason were never posted? I actually wrote an entry for the 11th which was passed over in favor of the one I actually *did* post. And now today's entry, which is also the preferred entry. So what do I do with the phantom entry? See, I'd noticed how I was getting all morose and shit, going on and on about my mother and my childhood. The original entry on the 11th was morose, too, though not about either of the aforementioned topics. All of a sudden, while reading through it, I just got sick and tired of my own mood, and decided to write and post something lighter instead. The phantom entry does hold some valid thoughts and viewpoints which bear recording, though. So what do you guys think? What should I do with it?


Your Mission, should you choose to accept it...


Play Doh! If you don't have kids under 10, I bet you don't have any in your house. Go out and buy some. For yourself. You know you want to. Tell me what you make (if it's rated PG-13 and under). Or send me your fond (or not so fond - did a bully make you eat some?) childhood Play Doh memories. (This mission inspired by this Bobofett entry.)

Results From Yesterday's Mission


Off I go to Hallmark today, to purchase (yes, purchase because I'm a lazy ass) Christmas cards to ship off to The Family Back East.



I grabbed the design idea for the box thingy from Anna.
