Stuff stuff and stuff!

WOW stuff.

I was so sick for two weeks I was pretty sure I was gonna die. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't do anything.

It was as bad as the great plague of 2002 when I was sick for a whole week and then came to work for a second week just a sick and made EVERYONE in my office so sick they all lost 3-4 days of work as well.

It was bad. It finally went away. I feel ok now, but that period of time seriously screwed up all my rituals and habits and routines. 

School is still going OK. I just finished perspective and Fundamentals of Design with a C and a B. The C came from being sick for two weeks of a 6 week class. Didn't help me at all the sickness. I was able to maintain one class but the second class suffered for those two weeks.

My new set of classes are Color Theory and English Composition. I think I will do ok in these classes as well.

The boys are doing well. There is much laughter and learning and Aaron is really growing personaly. He is trying new foods. He doesn't try to argue back as much over every little thing. And it really is the long term behavior modification stuff that I had learned from his therapist. But now it can be consistent because my rules are the only rules and there isn't one set of rules for one group and another set of rules for another group. That seems to be making the most difference.

Kristina and I are good. Kritistina is great actually. She is a little superstar at her job. She has been working 86% over the average and is one of the top ten loan counselors at her company. She is also Mahjoy!

For Valentines day the boys stayed all night at our friends house Chris and Dyann are ANGELS, and Kristina and I drove to Tallahassee to see a concert called "Celtic Woman". It's classical and gaelic vocals and an ensemble band. I will admit it I was assuming it would be kind of boring and a bunch of banshee wailing at ear splitting pitches by flaming haired bitches! lol.

I was wrong. It was beautiful! The singing was amazing, and there was a violinist who played classical and gaelic styles of music and she was just amazing. She was running and jumping and doing all this lord of the dance stuff WHILE PLAYING THE VIOLIN almost as fast and precise as I have ever heard it before. It was just amazing. The harmony and the purity of the voices was really something to hear. It was like every note was perfect. I am a big fan of Alto female voice and there was only one alto. But the four women had enough variation in sound and style that when all four sang the same words you could still clearly hear each one and still hear the overall harmony which was just haunting and kind of mind controlling.

It was a really good show and if you get a chance to see it I very much suggest you do so.

We went to a fancy french restaraunt called "Chez Pierre" oohh lala! It was great. Cheeses and Lobster Bisque and Roast Kuabota Boar and some glazed duck confi. It was an excellent meal though Kristinas duck was so much more succelent than my boar chop! I had a glass of cabernet so strong I could smell it from 4 feet away when the waitress was bringing it.

At the show we had a couple Vodka and Cranberries, and then we went back to the Bed and Breakfast room Kristina reserved for us at "The little English Guest House". Totaly dug that too. Giant bed. Antique Furniture and just really cute decor all over. You know, union jacks in every corner and little suits of armor and stuff like that. It was just a really wonderfull little trip and I can't thank Chris and Dyann enough for watching the boys so we could do that.

And I can't thank Mahjoy enough for going with me and being just so lovely and such a wonderful person to spend time with. I am madly in love with this woman. It's like this all the time too. Even when we aren't doing something special, it's just a joy to be around her. One of the best things is that no matter what is happening, even when I was sick and when she was sick (right after me of course) if I smile at her, she smiles right back at me. And it is a big honest sincere smile. It is the kind of smile you smile when you love someone and you want them to know it. And that is soooo great.

Another thing is her little celebrations. She has little parties just for her whenever something goes her way and she gets excited. She will squeek a tiny little "yeah" and wriggle around in her seat or wiggle her but with joy when something good happens.  Sometimes all it takes is for me to grab her up and tell her I love her, and she does her little " Kristina Party". I love it. It makes my heart melt every time she does it.

OK it is late and Mahjoy is sleeping alone in that big ole bed and I need to snuggle her and get lost in her curly hair.

Love you guys but hot chick in my bedroom trumps yakin at you sucka heads any day of the week! lol
