Did ya like that?

How I thought maybe if I posted pictures of puppies I could be forgiven for not writing in over a month (yet again!)?

So much to catch up on, it will take some time, but the most important thing I need to say today is how proud I am of my amazing nurse. This past year was incredibly challenging, exilarating, exausting, sad and funny but she made it through with flying colors and today she gets to start doing exactly what she set out to do (well, actually today she gets to get her picture taken and sign up for health insurance, but you get the idea).

I couldn't do it, I know that for sure. I also know she will grace each patient with her tender, knowing, reassuring touch.

She made it!!!

Just got a call from Miss B that she arrived safely in NY. Those of you that know B also know that flying is NOT her thing so it was very very hard for me to have to leave her at the entrance to the security line [I miss the days when you could see someone off at the gate :( ]

But, she made it across the country. Now we just have to hope she makes it across New York City!

my brave brave girl!

Denial is SOOOO my happy place!

Yeah, so we are just sitting here, Miss B playing her playstation, me surfing blogs, surrounded by piles of clothes, sleeping cats, and suitcases.

Is she getting on a plane at the crack (and I mean CRACK) of dawn tomorrow morning? Yes

Is anything clean or packed? No

Are we going to do anything about any time soon?

*places hands over ears*
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

I hate goodbyes (even ones that are only for 2 weeks) so let's all just pretend its not happening. OK?????

Work with me people...

It's a travesty of a mockery of a sham...AND highway robbery

So we are having a some crazy issues with plane tickets for the holidays. It's too long and complicated a story to go into here but lets just say that I am NOT handling it very well, or very maturely, at all.

I was going to rant here about the price of plane tickets (hence the title) and how it's so crazy to me that they can charge three times as much for the same flight just because it's the holidays. That two people could be on the same flight, one having paid $99 and the other $299 for the same thing is just wrong. Now I know that if we had bought them in, oh, september, we wouldn't have this problem, but that's beside the point. It just stinks. Supply and demand, blah blah blah. Stinks.

But that's not what I really want to write about. I want to write about how sad I am that all this messy business (my foolishness, our collective frustration, logistics beyond our control) is putting a damper on what is usually a very special time for Loody and Miss B. Our anniversary (3 whole years!) is December 19th, and the time leading up to that is filled with with so much nostalgia for that crazy, heady, filled-with-promise time when we were falling in love (without even knowing we were falling in love, but that's another story). That time changed my life and I love that we get to celebrate it at the same time that the world around us is celebrating. It's one big giant warm fuzzy. With presents.

So Miss B (and I apologize to the rest of you for speaking just to her for a moment), know that this time is so important to me and I want to find a way to celebrate it. Together. I'm sorry I haven't shown you that lately.

I love you more than anything in the world. Always.

And now.. back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Yay!

Miss B is home, the sun is setting over the hills, we have the food network on and she's making her mom's super yummy tomato sauce.

Life is good.

Turning Japanese, I think she's turning Japanese

I really think so.

Miss B is enamored of all things Japanese these days and I love being along for the ride.

Today we took a little trip Japantown so B could stock up on stationary and notebooks and japanese novels (in english - she hasn't made THAT much progress yet :)), we had sushi for lunch and Ramen/Udon for dinner, and now she is patiently (sort of) waiting for her computer back so she can surf her japanese blogs.

Miss B does not mess around when it comes to her obsessions and its one of the things I just truly love about her. She gets excited about things...lets them flow over and through her and examines them from all sides. Tonight she was telling me about the history of ramen and the etiquette of ordering drinks in a restaurant in japan.

Sometimes she thinks that I think she's silly for caring about all this stuff but really i'm just amazed. I tend to shy away from things and I have so much to learn from her about going full speed ahead TOWARD things.

This blog is one step in that direction (and its working because I'm obsessed!!!) so thanks B for being my inspiration in this and all things.
