"Two years with you... hasn't been so bad, eh?" - Me to Putz, yesterday

I think perhaps love lets us see someone else the way we can never see ourselves.

Today I got the ring. It's really beautiful. Simple. Eloquent. Fits! I hope Putz likes it, then we can order one for him on RUSH and be done! :D

It almost feels like we might finish this at some point. :D

Patrick is now working the late shift. He comes home about 30 minutes before I should be in bed. That gives me a lot more free time & the same number of friends.

So, where are you guys?

I am seeking photographers.

Any suggestions?

Putz: Neat!

(Usually Putz does, not he doesn't come to my work)

Yesterday, I stayed up late playing with Putz's little niece & nephew. They beat me handily at Clue, but it was still pretty fun.
