but i am discovering that having a partner does not make everything all ok. i often have been troubled by being bored in the evenings after work. what do people do? watch tv, eat, do chores, read? those things are fine, but not every night. i do not want my days to be filled with work and chores and eating and tv. i've been thinking that jamie and i should take a class, do something together. i kind of thought that having a partner would make this "empty night" feeling go away. but it has not. jamie is wonderful, and i love being with him so much! we are best friends and we have a great time together, even if we are doing nothing. but he cannot fix that restless feeling of not knowing what to do at night for me, so i have to get on it and figure something out for myself, so i can scratch my itchy fingers.
for now, i've decided i need to get back to being crafty. i do not have my craft things set up in the new house, but i have a big coffee table down here in the living room that i can work on. i bought some things in thailand that i just liked, even though i wasn't sure what to do with them. i've figured it out, though, and decided that we are going to paint them and hang them up somewhere appropriate in the house. i am really excited to paint these things!
both the metal discs and the wooden flowers are about one inch in diameter. jamie said he might want to paint some too!
here they are before the painting, and i'll post some pics of them after the painting as well.
last night we went over the stephanie'shouse for a post birthday get together. this is gracie, steph's dog, all gussied up in her
halloween costume. ha!today we are going to carve our pumpkins. i am shocked to hear it, but jamie has never carved a pumpkin before! so it will be fun to have a go at it, and roast the seeds, too.
later!

Here's a fun thing: When it starts getting cold, turn your heat down REAL LOW and pretend you're in some log cabin out on the plains like Laura Ingalls Wilder..and you have to figure out creative ways to get warm or you'll die. But if you don't want to do that I suggest a wholesome game of hide and go seek. xoxoxoxoxox
You mean you aren't standing over him like a dominatrix to get his share of the thank-you notes done? Cuz that's probably what it'll take!
I love the Stirling tidings idea -- tol' Matt it promises to keep us nicely updated with your goings-on. You're such a good & entertaining writer, I'm glad your friends urged you into it.
Speaking of crafts, remind J of the bottle caps waiting in the basement. And I got another bunch from local TX beers to contribute. B4N xx
P.S. -- He has SO carved a pumpkin. . .or at least been in on the pumpkin carving deal (like we would trust EITHER of them with a sharp implement. . .)
