I need you now like I needed you then
I hate Mondays -- when my partner in crime returns to work once again. Especially after a long weekend like this. Things just seem two-steps out of sync all day long. I hear other married couples longing for their spouse to take another business trip - or to be on a business trip themselves - but we're just not like that. Todd actually requests not to travel at work because his cubemates are all too eager to go instead. Or he takes me with him. Something they just do not get. Sometimes he gets teased about it. But we just like hanging out together. Sue us.

This information cannot leave this room, ok? It could devastate his reputation as a dude. But tonight we sat around watching TNT's "Romance Weekend" lineup -- The Wedding Singer, The Bachelor, and then (after a walk part of) Pretty in Pink until he had to go to bed. And it was his idea to watch them. How lucky am I?! He doesn't fault me for my wedding-obsession six years past my own waltz down the aisle.

The idea of waking up to another "blah...code...Photoshop...blah" day tomorrow just plain sucks. I know that's nothing compared to his cubicle hell though. So I'm more bummed for him than myself in that regard. I guess I just feel really lucky. We got married so young, but we grew up together and in the same direction. Or maybe we didn't grow up at all -- we're still Beavis and Butthead next to each other on the couch each night. Whatever happened, I thank my lucky stars daily for it. And I just don't say that enough. I love you, babe. Hurry home, ok?



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



isn't it wonderful? J and I are the same way - i haaate when monday comes because after spending the whole weekend together having so much fun, the thought of a day without him is torture!

but, yay for happily ever after :)

That's funny... my other half likes the romantic films too; I swear he's more of a chick than I am.

Oh yeah, and I just have to say - my hubby came in while I was reading your blog a few days ago and he thought that "blog naked" pic of you was me for a minute. This is why I tell him not to read over my shoulder - he was convinced I was starting my own porn site.

It's really cool that you guys are connected like that. I won't laugh, but if he starts watching lifetime, it's fair game!!! I knew a guy who used to do that and get all addicted to Sundays on Lifetime.

We both love The Wedding Singer (i watched it last night too)... but I thought the Bachelor was just plain painful to watch, I had to turn it off!

Thankfully, Eric and I work only a few blocks apart and we eat lunch together everyday... i know it won't always be like that, so we take advantage now. :)

Could you two be more adorable? Tim and I miss each other like that despite the fact that we work in the same place, just different floors. It makes it easier that he drops by my office to say "hello" or emails me at least once a day.

It's nice to hear there are many couples out there like that. Here's hoping the day passes quickly for both of you.

It's always wonderful to hear about couples that are still "best friends" after several years of marriage. :) Hope your day passes quickly so you can see your Todd again soon ;)

I know exactly what you are feeling, sweety! The best part of my day is when I get to wake E up and then when he walks in the door at night :) We are really lucky girls to have this!!!
Hope your day is happy nonetheless :) I'm thinking about you!

*sound of Todd-bubble bursting*

Tractor pulls. Tractor pulls and chewing tobacco. And Hustler. And we'll play some rugby. And we'll wolf-whistle the girlies at campus. With hardhats on.
It's not too late to save him.

Hugin and I are the same way. I hate going on business trips. I land up being an absolute misreable sap and the phone bills are hell during those times. I don't think I could do the business trip for long. My favorite times of the day are spent with him, be it waking up in the morning, vegging out on a couch or in front of a 'puter are walking aimlessly about town. It's just wonderful to be able to spend time together.

Hope the day passes quickly and that Todd will be home soon.
*warm smile*

Fear not, Hoopty. I'll be doin' plenty of ass scratchin' and belching as football season commences. :)

Awwww you guys! :-) I think the worst was moving into the house. He had always been close enough to come home for lunches 'til we got this. It was really tough not having him around for at least part of the afternoons after five years. I think poor Claire was more lost than I was. *g*

Only 53 days 'til OU kicks off, babe!

I don't count today or that day. Or weekends. When do freshman arrive on campus again? *sigh* :)

It's a good thing both of you love football so much. My ex and I used to hardly ever talk as it was. And forget it when football season started.

Why do I picture the two of you sitting there belching and scratching watching football?? Now if you could teach Claire to get you guys beers...

So care to settle an argument? Was "If You Leave" by OMD from "Pretty In Pink" or "Breakfast Club?"
I know my 80's teen flicks, and I am sure it was PIP.

So, do you remember?

Prom scene. "Pretty in Pink". How do I know? That was my first kiss. Matt Berry -- 8th grade -- Enid, Oklahoma. ;-)

Awwwwwww, how sweet :)

Awwww! We're the same way. Only I actually whine all night the night before Brian leaves for a seminar.

You guys are adorable. Even if Todd is a giiirrll. hahahahahaha!! j/k of course. ;)
