But when it's time to sleep? I want my space, so I can toss and turn and not have to worry about if I'm bothering you, or worry about where my arm goes, or think "Well, this is *almost* comfortable...".

It ruins the cuddly closeness when I'm lying there thinking, "Shit. My arm is numb. Man, that's annoying. Hmm....can I pull it away without him thinking I'm rejecting him? Will saying 'My arm is numb' ruin the mood? Okay, *seriously* now. Numb. Numb numb numb. Arrrrggghhh!"

Oh, askye. Strength to your co-worker, her mom and whole family.

Teppy, thanks for the I-miss-Oz love in Natter, yesterday. I saw it this morning. You know how sometimes you (and by "you" I mean "me" and possibly "some people") get a feeling of being a complete persona non grata? I was drowning in that yesterday, and your little post made all the difference, this morning.

"Dude, quit breathing on me."
"Quit breathing?"
"You can breathe, just not ON me!"

My Cindy love is enormous. I don't think I'm alone there.

::smooches Cindy and makes her cake::

Thanks, Amy. I didn't mean to fish (not that I think you were giving pavlovian love or anything). It was just one of those days. I have them a lot more than I talk about them. I suspect a lot of us do.

Me, too, babe. Me, too.

Cindy, I *think* Buffy-related quotes all day long. But they stay in my head. *You* say (or type) them, and I recognize them immediately, and then I think "She does the same thing I do! Only 'out loud'!"

Which is one of the many reasons that I t heart you.

Ayup. smooches Cindy

ION, I am geeking out - my boss isn't in his office today, so I turned his flatscreen to face my cube, put on ESPN2 (World Cup), and I'm constantly refreshing the minute-by-minute match blog on the Guardian site. Not quite as good as being in my neighborhood, watching the matches in one of the Italian bars/restaurants, but fun naetheless. (If Italy gets to the finals, I'm taking that morning off and staying in my neighborhood. It'll be fun.)

One of the first things we discovered as a couple was that we had to have separate blankets and sheets.

This is us. I feel sorry for DH, because as a twin, and as someone who shared a bed with her sister until she was 12, I'm very much a snuggler sleeper. DH is a "your side, my side" kind of guy. So he gets his own blanket and sheet.

Cindy, I just caught that quote in a quick scroll yesterday. Real life has been eating me from my bottom so I don't get to reply too much. I use Buffy quotage a lot out loud but nobody here seems to catch it. That's why it's so nice to see it and use it here. Buffistas get it. They might not comment on it. But they get it.

Root canal this morning. I could never have gotten through it without the nitrous oxide. The dentist asked me why they didn't use it on me last time. I said, "Because I didn't know it would be free for TMJ freaks like me."

Raq, I hope Mal lets you rest. I'm in the dilemma where Olivia is sleeping 10-11 hours a night--but only in her bouncy seat by my bed. If I try to put her in the crib, she wakes up. I'm so not ready to retrain her to sleep in the crib but she's starting to outgrow the bouncy seat situation.
