Spider Vows

when I have space, more of an outdoor space than I have now I want to learn to weld.

I want to weld a cool, spherical, sculpture with a bright light in the middle that stays on all night; that way, when my husband takes the spiders that I don't want in the house out he can let them go there where they'll be super happy and be able to catch all the bugs that are drawn to the light

Or he can squish them... I'd rather see them let go... 

this is my spider vow

It will be a spider sanctuary... Even though they freak me out

yes, I took a vacation...

I had the week of the 4th off from work and I had a very relaxing time.. caught up on sleep (lots of sleep, like until 10 or 11 most days) I got just the right amount of sun and even enjoyed the rainy days, except maybe the third day.. by then I wanted more sun ;) I've been asked more than once this week if I had a good vacation, what did I do.. you know, things like that. My answer was pretty much what I just told you: relaxing, lots of sleep yadda yadda.

But let me tell you the absolute best part of my vacation, the serious highlight of my 10 days off...

Keith and I went to open mic at The Kerryman on June 30th; usually this is somewhat amusing and a good excuse for me to have a change of scenery while he practices his stage presence (I do love watching him up there). He did a couple cover songs but then (I don't recall his exact words because I may have been in shock) he announced that he wrote the next song for me and that I had been waiting 2 years for him to do so :)  Then he starts playing his guitar and before he even starts the lyrics I'm falling in love all over again. It was the most genuine love song I've ever heard and I sat there stunned, unable to take my eyes off of him or wipe the ridiculously huge smile off my face. I would have cried if we weren't in public, haha!

That was the best few minutes of my vacation and I wish I could live it all over again.

Maybe someday I'll share the song (with his permission, of course) but for now I want to keep it all to myself.
