Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

When we checked into the hotel on our wedding night, H told the concierge, "My girlfriend's parking the car."

Which, you know, I'd never have known had he been less enough mortified not to confess. It does take a while. Plus, "husband" is such an odd word. Looks funny, sounds funny in the mouth. Implies caring for livestock of some--or all--types. Guy, fella, other half, lotsa euphemisms I like better. I'm not overly fond of "wife" either, with its load of being part of the household goods. Or I could just be cranky this afternoon.

I get very pissy when people call me Hubby's "better half." I'll be his other half, but I won't be better. (I reminded him today, while perturbed with him, that if he keeps saying "I don't deserve you," that one day I may agree with him.)

I brought Devi's ashes home tonight. :/ Yes, it requires an emoticon.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I jokingly call Beau my better half. I think it is supposed to be endearing, not insulting!

Part of the wrench of moving was the little graveyard out under the old plum tree. I'm sorry Sara.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Aww, sara, that's hard.

I actually think "fiancé(e)" sounds weird as applied to him and me, though that could be somewhat to do with being BF/GF for 7 years. But I am looking forward to being able to yell "Husband!" out the back door to get his attention. And he is welcome to call me his old lady if he so desires.

Yes, it's supposed to be.

Because books.

I call Stephen my old man all the time. I think I got it from listening to Joni Mitchell's Blue obsessively for a while.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am playing youtube jukebox tonight (posting findings to my liking on fb for anyone interested). Just came across Tanya Stephens - ita, I assume you know her - anyone else? I was kinda fascinated, but mac asked me to turn off "because her voice is bad". it kinda is.

I am not sure how she got listed on the sidebar as suggested given the folky rock stuff I am mostly listening to.
