Bunnies!

They have a significant place in my heart. But I've never loved them quite the way I love them here:

If you find sites like these, send them to me, I love it!

Muhahaha!

Ch-ch-changes...

It's been a year of change. Big changes....at work, at home, in the world.

My mom has always believed that change is good. My dad avoids change, likes stability. I'm both. Initially wary of change, but usually feel that it's a good thing, after the fact.

Inevitable. Inevitable.

Good news!

I cleaned and organized my a*% off this weekend! And I feel much bettter.

The house looks tidy and happy too. I'll put a picture of our new and improved basement/study/playroom soon.

Turning into Mommy?

My prior post regarding the bliss of domestic life notwithstanding, I have been struggling lately with the impulse to organize, straighten and control the little messes that erupt in our house.

For some reason, whether it's ingrained in me by mom, or some affliction I was born with, when I see a mess in my room or my house, it fires me up. I go into a frenzy of wanting to clean, sort, and tidy until I've tamed the mess.

I think I've gotten worse with age. Just yesterday, as I caught myself turning the Listerine bottle, I noticed that I'm happier when all my toiletries face out, like soldiers.

It's frankly exhausting.

The worst bit is that the mess, if it goes untamed, affects my mood. I get irritable and crabby and exasperated. I don't want to be a nag or be frazzled all the time, but I still want a clean organized house. Any suggestions greatly welcome.

We so happy. 

Relishing Domestic Life

I never thought I'd be the type to say this, but I'm really enjoying domesticity. Especially the tiny bits, like sharing an electric toothbrush and planting little window box plants.

To me the key to a real romance is so much more than being "in love". The holy trinity of respect, admiration, and desire all have to be present in an overwhelming way to establish passion and longevity.

But if you happen to have the same degree of ridiculous silliness, that helps a lot.

Today is a good day

I woke up and exercised. And the house painting is finally all done! Hallelujah. I am going to post some before and after photos soon....

I'm a happy girl....Pedram asked me to marry him on July 1, 2005 and I have happily, ecstatically accepted.

He's the biz-omb. And we are going to be super biz-omb together!
