grow old with someone who can make me smile and laugh

I AM doing this! I’m completely loving my life with my Michael! The security and love and life with him is everything that I dreamed of and more! Next thanksgiving will be eleven years! He is so wonderful and funny and kind and compassionate… I could go on and on, but I won’t.

We’ve been together now for over 6 months and we continue to make each other smile and laugh. I’m still not getting “old” though. :)

It starts with knowing the same lyrics to tunes that haven’t played in years…

And memories of times spent in a movie house yelling Great Scott and throwing the toilet paper rolls….

It is the little things that are the glue that binds.

And I wouldn’t have it…

any other way.

But also like many things in this world, the devil is in the details...

In this case I am spending the morning cleaning and setting straight. The daily grind of feeding animals, straightening things out, putting up dishes, cleaning windows, dusting surfaces and generally setting what right I may…

all the way being quiet. This is to allow the relief of slumber to strike where it needs to.

Am I an altruest?

Hardly.

It all starts when you get to the conclusion that I am up and in this I am alone.

So you decide not to be a bother and to instead do something useful…

So thus I am engaged.

Being useful…

When deep down, I really would rather…

that I was…

not.

_{part of growing old with someone who can make you smile and laugh is to make as much lemonaid as possible from the lemons you find in your path. The another key part is to have faith that sometimes love manifests in a lack of dust bunnies… LOL}

all i can say is i hope my dog has a long life…................ xxx

....nothing’s greater than the rush that comes with your embrace. Now I know that the road ahead of us is a long and twisted one. But I don’t doubt it will regardless be the most beautiful ride ever.

I was grousing. No fine way to put a spin on that

I…

was…

grumpy!

It was one of those days where if you had anywhere else to go, you would just walk...

A pause…

I don’t know… it’s time for something different

A new job or something else to eat?

I laughed.

Something else to eat of course!

Part of growing old is having an accurate translation table…

Is an essential component in any attempts to grow old by yourself, let alone in the company of another.

It is important to establish boundaries…

Marquess of Queensberry Rules for domestic discussions requires that there are places you don’t go, or blows you choose to make (the verbal variety, never, a thousand timesnever the physical variety)...

Whatever you do…

Fight Fair!

Can a best friend count?????

I think I might have a chance at this. The person I’m dating now does make me smile and laugh. I’m not ready for the “grow old” part yet though. :)
