… today is a BIG day
… just over a year ago, i met someone. i didn’t expect to, for i was set up by and evil and sinister friend of mine who was moving and needed me to be a “lifter” during the day. she was set up too, for her best friend (my friend’s fiance) was also in need of a “lifter…” neither of us knowing that that moving day would change the rest of our lives.
“L, meet B…” and her friend disappeared with a giggle. “B, meet L,” and my friend disappeared with yet another giggle as he dashed down the hall. we were left standing there in the hall, both holding a couch, and uncomfortably greeting each other and wondering what was going to happen next.
in my noggin, i was attacked with the “omgoodness she’s so cute and wow i wonder if we’ll be able to talk and i wonder if she’d like to have some coffee and maybe even give me the time of day and see me sometime and holy crap this couch is heavy, etc., etc.”
… within days we were dating. we clicked. we connected. it was like a gawddamned freight train. it was wonderful. it’s been wonderfull. i love her.
it’s L’s birthday today. 30 years old. no longer in her twenties. beautiful. funneh. intelligent. an absolute joy to be around. a source of motivation and positive reinforcement in my life. i’m absolutely the luckiest son-of-a-biscuit around to have her in my life. every time i think to tell her this stuff, i always manage to blurt out that i don’t think i deserve someone as good as her in my world… she smiles (which makes me melt) bats those baby brown doe eyes and says, “yesh you do!”
i love you, L… happy birthday.

Happy Birthday Lisa! Anyone who can make B giggle like a Catholic school girl is alright in my book! Enjoy your big day!
Cheers!

Happy birthday L. Glad you are there to remind B that he does deserve someone like you. It’s good to see him happy and I am glad you two are together. Saturday was fun, glad we could join you for some of it.
