Knock, knock... Who's there? 

You have always made me laugh

Clever one liners, shared stories, pranks, jokes, making light of life...

At times, laughing hard enough is so impossible that breathing is replaced by belly aches and weepy eyes 

Our first moments together easily grew into months and then years; more than a decade 

Friends, lovers, partners

I am bound to you by so much more than time

More so, we two are now three 

The fabric of our beings, joined together for all of time by the birth of our future

Before she, we were nothing but us; you and me

Remembering joy is easy to do

We're lucky...

We've had an abundance to see us through,  

The rough, the wrongs, the pain and the sorrow...

Always stinging; but we've survived

We've managed misery, held on for dear life

I propped you up, you carried me through

No matter what

And through it all, you have always made me laugh

Intuitively knowing when to lighten my mood and how to soothe my soul

Over time, but not without vague expection,

Carefree and laidback have been replaced with stoic responsibility,

and abundant mediocrity

Perhaps it's an avarice we've allowed in?

Clouding the simple, focusing outward instead of within?

Apathy is corroding your intention and compassion

Stark, cold indiffernce to my perception and feelings

crushes

me

to

the

core

I have my own role in where we are now, but I still have value

What I feel is mine, true!

But that doesn't make it less real or insane 

It is not yours to belittle or dismiss as irrelevant

I have value

I thought you valued me?

I want you to make me laugh

Oh how I want to laugh....

Now more than ever

But how can I?

If I feel you're laughing at me?

(Not Exactly) Wordless Wednesday: October 28, 2009

Well Halloween is only a couple of days away! I LOVE making and creating costumes - for me, for anyone really... Once I have the idea I love the challenge to find / make all the pieces to pull it all together. If you ever need ideas or inspiration, call me.

These are some of my favorites:

2007: Chris and I at a party as Anne Boleyn and Henry the 8th:

2008: Chris as a retired Hooter's waitress:  

2009: Me as Coraline's Doll:
