Last night my husband and I had a cyber date.  He sat on the bed with his laptop and I sat at the computer desk right next to the bed, we both logged into our Facebook accounts and the evenings entertainment began.   He bought me cyber peanuts and I bought him cyber beer and we proceeded to both win and lose as we enjoyed a great game of poker.  With the chat function on we were able to message each other, hi 5 each other and insult each other.  It was a great night and it didn’t cost us a cent, can’t wait for our next cyber date!

It’s been said that the dog is man’s best friend, well I say it’s more special than that. If you were to open my wallet you would see a photo of my dog.(sorry kids) staring back at you. I LOVE my eleven year old chihuahua. Sure she is now mostly gray and is going blind but she is my baby. She comforts me when I am down, makes me laugh with her “puppy dog” antics and is always waiting for me when I step through the front door. In her eyes I will never be worthless, rejected, unappreciated, not good enough or any other negative emotions us humans are so good at causing others. She offers love and I’m happy to give love in return, as well as her arthritis medication. My dog gives me endless joy and I can only hope you have a special relationship with yours as well.

I have been told that I’m an emotional black hole…… no emotions are allowed to escape my being! Perhaps that’s why Valentines day really doesn’t mean that much to me – it’s just a commercial holiday in my eyes. I have nothing planned to celebrate the day (sorry Luke) unlike other people I know. Oh it makes me feel sick just thinking about it….there will be “I love you ” notes posted through the house…toast with “I love you” cooked into it. Heart shaped steaks with heart shaped pasta or something else just as lovey dovey. There are couples who have their own songs and couples who constantly text each other with …”I love you” and “I love you more”. (you know who you are) That stuff is just not for me….must be that black hole. Love is expressed in many different ways and for me there is nothing more I’d rather be doing than sitting down with Luke playing a death match of “medal of Honor” on our Wii. Might sound strange to you but we really enjoy it. Oh and I suppose we do have a song of sorts. You have to remember that I met Luke when he was 16 so his style of music is different to what it is now. Back then it was rap, rap and more rap. He enjoyed it when it was actually “alternative” not like how it is today. So this song of ours is by NWA, a rap love song of sorts. It makes us giggle like school kids when we hear it. It’s “I’d rather fuck you”, do you know it? I surely didn’t before I met Luke. So that’s us…an Uzi in one hand and a crude song in the other…that’s LOVE!
