T'anks for the Boats

  • Damien: I don't know. Which one do you want to watch?
  • Dad: (laughing) She can't choose between two favorites!
  • Me: I can't choose between my two favorite children. Dad, which one do you want to watch?
  • Dad: I don't care. You pick.
  • Me: Mon, which one would you rather sleep through? This one has tanks and this one has boats.
  • Mom: Einy, meeny, miney, mo. Catch a war movie by its toe. If they all die we get to turn it off. Einy, meeny, miney, mo .... Midway!

Cross out what you’ve already read. Six is the average.

As I look back on the list, it’s weird to see the books that I’ve “read” for school, but really I either didn’t finish them because I ran out of time or I didn’t have time to really give them the attention they deserved. The italicized books are those that I would cross out if I were talking to anyone else, but really, I can’t bring myself to admit all of it. Even the Lord of the Rings books were never finished. I only read The Fellowship of the Ring - not the whole series. The bold books are ones that are on my to-read list for this summer, which I’m very excited about.

I really did have a nice night.

Maybe we can’t afford the time off for a retreat now. I’d rather save it for a trip to Chicago later this fall when the weather’s nice and the colors are beautiful.

In the meanwhile, it’s bedtime and someone’s going to call me tonight when he gets home from driving.

And I’ll tell him to look at this video after that.

And sooner or later, we’ll end up happily ever after.

todamien:

Damien,

I love you.

I’m really glad that I got to see you tonight. I don’t want you to forget that or think otherwise.

Don’t request off work for the retreat yet. We’ll talk about it tomorrow when we’re both more rested.

I’ve been stressed and tired and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that after school ended I didn’t get any break before going straight into full-time. I need a vacation, but I’m not going to get one for a while. But it’ll be okay because I have you instead. You’re better than a vacation … I just miss you a lot when I don’t get to see you.

I really like this song. I always imagine you singing it to me.

Sleep tight, mister.

Love,

Staci
