Friday the 13th

Happy Friday the 13th! For some reason, I always seem to have good luck on a day that is supposed to be remarkably unlucky. Then again, I suppose this day is only technically unlucky if you were a Templar in the 1300’s…but their legacy seems to have continued. Along with their conspiracy. I could write pages and pages of stuff about that, but I won’t. At least not today.

While this week has seemed like one of the longest weeks ever, it has also been filled with fleeting moments of pure joy, pure happiness and an overwhelming sense of goodness that seems to permeate through the badness and leave everything okay. My exercise routine has been kicked up a few dozen notches, and I fell consistently sore and tired, I’ve been busy at work with some new projects and figuring out some technicalities. I’ve been writing a lot for my online sites. But I’ve also had a few much needed moments to just simply relax and enjoy life. I’m so incredibly happy. Devon and I for some reason feel closer than ever, and the wedding is right around the corner. Although we’ve been together for a year and a half already, and have been living together for over a year now, there is not a single day that I do not look forward to seeing her after work. We just enjoy each other’s company, and we don’t take that for granted. We make a pretty good team, I imagine – both of us have our strengths and our weaknesses. But the thing that strikes me more than anything else is how much fun we have together. We chase each other throughout the house sometimes, or throw things at each other playfully. We play games and tease each other endlessly. It’s simply like living with and being in love with the best friend you could ever ask for. I love every moment of it, and I wouldn’t change right now for anything.

Did you know that dragonflies only have a lifespan of approximately 24 hours? I read that somewhere yesterday and it really caught me off guard. I love dragonflies – they’ve always held special significance to me for as long as I can remember. But I can’t imagine what it must be like to have a lifespan of a day. I can’t imagine what you would do with that time, and how you would feel about it. I don’t think they think about things quite the same way that I do, but wow. They’re so beautiful, it seems a bit of a waste. They bite, though. Seriously.

That’s about all. Date night tonight with some yummy food to cook from Fresh Market. Tomorrow night we are going out to the Roundup for all you can drink night with the Flores-Sarantopoli clan. Should be fun. Sunday will hopefully be a true day of rest, where I can lay on the couch watch xfiles and pretend that Monday isn’t coming.
