More sappy stuff
Hermes says my posts give him cavities. I'm warning you: drippy, sappy, sweetness to follow.
August 11 was the day Paul and I went on our first date. That made today our one month anniversary. Okay you male readers, I know what you're thinking. Just get over it; it's a girl thing! We made plans to spend the day together, deciding to hang out at the near-by casino. We strolled the way-too-expensive shops, had an over-priced lunch in an Irish pub and threw $20 worth of quarters into the slot machines. Our hopes of winning big enough to pay off both our mortgages did not materialize, but we had a great day.
And for all you guys who groaned at that "one month anniversary" comment (I heard you, don't try to deny it!), Paul showed up today with a dozen red roses and a card that said "You make me so happy. I love you."
Do you see me sticking my tongue out at you non-sentimental types?
He's so wonderful!! I must be the luckiest woman on earth. (With the possible exception of Kira. But Alex is French so he's got an advantage; he has romance in the genes!)

Okay, this is swell. But you tell Paul for me that if he is ever unkind to you I know some pit bulls that are looking for some action.
(I love romance stories, though. Keep 'em coming.)

What the hell happened to Mr. Clean?!?

WW: You are quite lucky!! You sound like you had a wonderful day. Nothing makes me happier than to hear you are in love with a truly wonderful man. Trust me, I know how it feels.
How about we are the three luckiest women in the world??
Hey, Hof'll be in NYC for a whole week starting Wednesday. You up for a little meet and greet??

If Hermes doesn't like sweetness and light (which I like, even if I can't write it), he can come by to my blog for a nice tasty touch of acid and bile.

Snake: I can always count on you! My hero.
Maggie: Thanks!
Hermes: You are SO behind the times! It seemed Mr. Clean was not over his divorce and had a lot of anger issues to deal with.
A*: Yes, I know you know! I would love to get together in NYC if we can find a good time. I'll email you later.
RJ: Aren't you sweet? Thanks.
FW: I've had a low couple of years prior to this. Things eventually get better. They will for you too. Feel free to email/vent to me any time at all!

Hahaha! Yes, Alex has a genetic advantage. At least, he's the only guy I've ever known to actually shut the door to the bedroom while I was cooking and set up rosepetals across the bed, candles, massage oil, etc. I love him like that! He ACTUALLY HAD A DAY AT SCHOOL (I shit you not) wherein during art class, the boys were taught how to properly kiss the hands of ladies. No really!
That being said, you/me/A* are just as lucky as each other because these fantastic men are in love with US! There's nothing like a man who doesn't care if the world knows he adores his lady, and who also just sends notes and gifts for any reason or no reason. The world is so much easier to enjoy with a man like that by your side...
Mandy, I'm just so happy that you are finally with a man who knows what a wonderous and fantastic woman you are!

I hope it just keeps getting better. I can think of no one who deserves it more. (i'll e-mail you soon.)

Kira/Lejnd: I really love you guys!! I've already gotten my daily, lovey-dovey voice mail message. Sigh...
I'm so lucky!!

Who cares if the guys get cavities...the women are all awww-ing in unison now! That really is sweet of Paul. He's a keeper!

I groaned. Guilty here. Then again I can't fathom my wife's interest in romance novels either.
Roses, anniversaries, gifts--c'mon, let's not be cliche here. Do something original together. Then give us the details.

Wow, you guys have dropped the L bomb already? Big steps!
2:23 PM
Congratulations! It sounds like it was a fun time.

WW - I'm delighted for you. But tell Paul that he's being unfair and setting the bar too high. Thanks to him, I now have to prevent MY other half ever finding your blog, in case I am found wanting!!!
Congrats on getting over the "L" hurdle. Not done it yet. Gulp...

Amanda: Yeah...women love the sappy stuff - present company included! I think he is a keeper!
Dave: I thought I heard you groaning. You weren't alone. I'll find the other ones. Paul and I are taking a trip to New Hampshire in three weeks for the fall foliage. It's only a few hours north of here, but I've never been to New Hampshire. I'm not sure if that's "original" enough to count, but I'll post about it!
Paige: Yeah, kinda surprised me too!
Anonymous: Thanks!
Merkin: Aww, come on - you know you love her!! :-)

Aw, he's definitely a keeper!! And add me to the lucky ladies list because mine is a keeper too!!
