Seriously...

I should not post after only 3 hours of sleep. Although, my husband thought my second post from Saturday was amusing. Then again, my husband only really finds me funny when I'm dragging my butt across the floor imitating the dog on the latest Stanley Steamer commercial; given his brand of humor, maybe I don't want to make him laugh! I will say, too, that I was reading the post to my husband aloud (Robert doesn't like to read anything other than cookbooks or hunting and fishing magazines but he likes to be read to) and my 9-year-old was standing over my shoulder. I changed "damn" to "darn" but I couldn't think of a ready substitution for "bastard." I know, soon enough he will know all those words and will no doubt be saying them, but still. I'm not ready for him to lose his innocence. Perhaps even more, I'm not ready for him to lose his image of his mother. It's nice to have someone thinking that I'm practically perfect in every way!

oh, hell with it....decided to post my own comments to up my numbers. There. I'm a cheater. Big fat cheater! But it will make me so happy to see an actual number instead of Blogger's rendition of a goose egg sitting in front of the word "Comments" at the end of this post. *Sigh* I have no shame.

Bwa-ha ha ha ha ha ha You are an evil GENIUS.

I heartily approve.

M said...

Maraiya, you are amazing!

M said...

Why thank you Maraiya. You're pretty fabulous yourself!

M said...

Clearly, I'm just a wee bit jealous of Sue's 200+ comments and since I've spent so much time tonight leaving comments on her blog, I ought to leave a few more on mine.

M said...

Really, though, I think I'm just looking for another reason to change my picture because I'm getting bored with it.

M said...

Although I did start posting movie quotes on Sue's and I really like some quotes....

M said...

Mr. Darcy: How are you this evening, my dear?
Elizabeth Bennet: Very well... although I wish you would not call me "my dear."
Mr. Darcy: [chuckles] Why?
Elizabeth Bennet: Because it's what my father always calls my mother when he's cross about something.
Mr. Darcy: What endearments am I allowed?
Elizabeth Bennet: Well let me think...”Lizzie" for every day, "My Pearl" for Sundays, and...”Goddess Divine"... but only on *very* special occasions.
Mr. Darcy: And... what should I call you when I am cross? Mrs. Darcy...?
Elizabeth Bennet: No! No. You may only call me "Mrs. Darcy"... when you are completely, and perfectly, and incandescently happy.
Mr. Darcy: [he snickers] Then how are you this evening... Mrs. Darcy?
[kisses her on the forehead]
Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...
[kisses her on the right cheek]
Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...
[kisses her on the nose]
Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...
[kisses her on the left cheek]
Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...
[finally kisses her on the mouth]

*SIGH*

M said...

I've tried to convince Rob to call me Mrs. X but he doesn't understand the appeal. It's not as though DH doesn't have a romantic bone in his body; he does. It's just that his marrow is different than mine.

As Harold took a bite of Bavarian sugar cookie, he finally felt as if everything was going to be ok.

M said...

Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies.

M said...

And, fortunately, when there aren't any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin,

M said...

or a kind and loving gesture,

M said...

or subtle encouragement,

M said...

or a loving embrace,

M said...

or an offer of comfort,

M said...

not to mention hospital gurneys and nose plugs, an uneaten Danish, soft-spoken secrets, and Fender Stratocasters, and maybe the occasional piece of fiction.

M said...

And we must remember that all these things,

M said...

the nuances,

M said...

the anomalies,

M said...

the subtleties,

M said...

which we assume only accessorize our days,

M said...

are

M said...

effective for a much larger and nobler cause.

M said...

They are here to save our lives.

M said...

I know the idea seems strange, but I also know that it just so happens to be true. And, so it was, a wristwatch saved Harold Crick.

I'd leave you more comments, because your blog is absolutely awesome! but your word verification is killing me.

Hope you are feeling better today, too. I'm not sick, but I'm considering faking it, to see if I can get 200 comments on my blog.

M said...

Far be it from me to get in the way of anyone's commenting - verification removed pending a great deluge of spam -- then again, I could delete any inappropriate spam messages and it would still up my comment count. Maybe this is a win/win...

M said...

Alright, I know this is getting (GETTING????) gratuitous but I just have to say, 48 COMMMENTS!!! WOO-HOO!! (I'm totally and completely overlooking the fact that the comments are just myself and BiV - why be picky?!)

M said...

Because my OCD requires it and because, seriously, 50 rocks! (only 150+ more and I'll catch up with Sue.)

Hey! Mia messed up my count.

anyone for 76?

Jillybean said...

Maraiya,
How are you feeling? I think I caught what Sue has.

I think that maybe all of the decongestants I have been taking might be making me a bit loopy.

And yet, I still can't breathe through my nose.
