You Might Want To Skip This.......

.....it's mushy. This is an excerpt from my online courtship with SB. This is part of what we were writing to each other 4 years ago today.

***********UPDATE/CORRECTION/WHATEVER**********

We interrupt your regularly scheduled glimpse into my private life for this update. In talking to SB on the phone this afternoon, I was caught completely off guard. Very unusual. SB & I are the only two peas in this pod. Hmmmmm.

I asked if he had been to the blog today. "Yes," he replied. "No comment?" I asked. "To tell you the truth, I wasn't too terribly pleased." WOW! You could have knocked me over with a feather. You know those words don't come out of his mouth too often when talking to me! We talked for a few minutes more while I came to terms with the fact that I had called his reaction totally wrong. At first I assumed he was upset because something might have given away his real identity (which I guard jealously). But no......he felt that these IMs should stay between us.

So, since I am the best damn bedwarmer ever issued by the Department of Defense (to the best damn sailor there is)........I am removing this promptly.

Yes, Princess Crabby loves to *flash*..........but sometimes I forget.......this is not *my* thing to share.........it's *our* thing. So I will draw the curtains.

****************THAT IS ALL*************
I kept as many of these as I could. We had some computer expert tell my boss in the fall of '03 that even the saved instant messages could cause viruses and one weekend when I was out, she erased them all. She was an asshat. I saw to it that we got a new computer person right after that.
But what I was able to keep, I re-read. Especially on the anniversary of the day.

    That's not mush -- this si mush:

    "John."

    "Marcia."

    "Oooooh, John..."

    "Oooooh, Marcia..."

    "John, John, John!"

    "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!"

    ...ad infinitum -- and beyond!

  5. The only reason I didn't vomit is because I can relate. ; ) I would share emails like that with our friend Laura, who sees Chris like a brother, just to get an adverse reaction.
    I like how your posting of deleted, saucy excerpts comes at the same time you put a photo of the back of your head! There's a joke in there somewhere.

  8. I don't have an opinion on the rightness/wrongness either way, but SB's reaction is understandable.

    Still, I was glad to have the glimpse I did. It's a lovely testament to two people who obviously are well-matched and adore each other. Gives the rest of us hope that such relationships exist outside the pages of a book... ;)
