Episode VI: Return of the Pants

Ladies!

I got your pants today!

(You already knew that…)

I walked into the house and there they were, wrapped in glorious bubble wrap, on top of my previously abandoned biochemistry textbook. I promptly managed a squee of delight (how, I’m not sure considering how many other times I’ve squeed today) and proceeded to try and open the postage bubble wrap envelope with my bare hands. Have any of you ladies tried the same thing? Dawn? It was sooo much more difficult than I thought it was going to be but I was determined and eventually (a slightly embarrassing eventually) I got the envelope open and saw with my very own eyes…

PANTS!

The theme of this entire day seem to be “SOOOO HAPPY!!!” because that’s how I’ve felt today so much more than any time in the recent past. I have you ladies to thank, as I so often do, for this feeling.

There was something else that came with that package, aside from the photo of Michele wearing the pants with a huge tattoo across her back (when I first saw that my reaction was “OMFG NO WAI!!!” then I realized it was explained in your letter :P).

That other thing I received was the memory of why we started this blog. This month we’ve been lagging and nagging each other for posts but it’s not about having something to read every day (although that is a nice side effect). It’s really about sharing our day, the little things that make it up, and the pieces we add to the entire experience of our lives from those few brief moments, with those whom we care so much about. It shouldn’t be a chore but rather a reward in its own right. I’d forgotten that in the last few weeks but now I’m going to do my best to bring it all back.

I was listening to As Long As You’re Mine while typing that last and I really love the lines:

“Come be who you want to and see how bright we shine.”

I hope I can live up to at least part of that lyric.

I would like to congratulate VT on their ability to skip ahead seven years and enjoy the present. I hope there are many more stories to come, even if you choose not to share all of them with us. I said it to you earlier Valerie but hear it again now: I’m happy that you’re happy. It’s that simple. *many smiles*

Talk to you ladies in three minutes!
