i love to talk to my friends on the phone.

needy:

because we can talk about anything. and we do. we talk about everything. it’s discursive and i enjoy it. we get nostalgic and sad and then we say something and we both laugh about it. we’ll both start talking at the same time, and then we’ll both stop and then we’ll laugh. i love when people laugh. and we’ll talk about things that i don’t like talking about and we’ll talk about things that we haven’t talked about in ages. then there will be some silences when neither of us can think of anything to say and one of us will say something so absurdly stupid. and i won’t want to get off the phone, but i have to. or you’ll have to. then we won’t talk on the phone for another week or month and it will be the same. i love that.

That didn’t stop us from holding hands. Cos that’s what you were supposed to do with someone of whom you were “going out” with exclusively. There were times when our hands got way too sweaty, and we’d have to wipe our palms on our jeans. He’d laugh, and I’d giggle nervously as he put my hand back in his again.

Four hours early, to be more specific—which means the husband and I get to enjoy coffee & pajamas and rain pouring down:

That’s falling off the awning in our backyard.

Peg: The light concealing cream goes on first, then you blend and blend and blend. Blending is the secret. More concealing for you? But your complexion is so fair. Now this has a touch of lavender in it. Give it a try here. Close enough. OK. This should do the trick.
Mom & I always like to quote Peg when she smacks it all on Edward’s face: “Darn this stuff!”

Homemade yogurt biscuits with fresh blackberry butter spread. Sips of Cafe Du Monde’s coffee & chicory. What a lovely, cozy Sunday morning it was.

When threatened to be taken away from you, love is the worst quake I know. It can crush you to the thickness of your bones. Love can be a tumor sometimes. Terminal. It can make you vomit. It can make you want to cut it out. It can take you over against your will.
