why i married him.

(excerpted from a real, unedited email communication with my husband. while i would believe the third to last line would have been snarky and sarcastic from most anyone else, somehow i believe he was being serious. incomprehensible.)

i am feeling that a ‘mental health’ day should be taken in honor of your birthday “week”.

what if we go to raul’s for dinner and talk about how to make our five days off into a better “vacation” and/or make plans to complete a house project also and/or i should probably go to the library to get art directors names and addresses from books/magazines seeing as i just ordered 60 more illustration promo postcards today.

also, we do probably need to talk about making plans for our “group camping trip” considering the fact that we’re halfway through june and there’s been no emails about dates, etc.

also, pms is awful and makes you stressed about everything.

Sounds good to me and yes, pms does suck!  Library first and then raul’s for Mexican?

yeah, well my rambling may have been confusing, understandably so.
the “trip” to the library will take a few hours, so that’s not happening tonight. i meant that would happen during our mini-vacation.
oddly, i also didn’t mention that we were taking a “mental health” day from the GYM but you assumed that, albeit correctly.
so, yes, raul’s tonight.
will you call to see if they take credit cards now?
(i’ll pay since it’s my mental health that’s at stake...well, considering your proximity to me, perhaps yours is at stake also.)
