(Introduction)

[NOTE: I'm stealing this one whole from Linus of Pepper of the Earth. While I never actually put this one in Beloved Wife's little mailbox, I really like it because it reminds me of Led Zeppelin's "Thank You", which was the first song I ever dedicated to Beloved Wife - way back when she had just become Beloved Girlfriend for the first time back in 1986.]

Just Add Water

Ingredients:

1 mountain (large)
1 ocean (immense)
2 lovers (uncertain)

Combine elements in prepared basin.
Mix until smooth.
Season to taste.

When the mountain refluxes
And only sand remains
Remove lovers.

Serving size: 2

If I could come back as anything
It would be as one of your tears.
How could I want more
Than to be conceived in your heart,
Born in your eye,
Live on your cheek,
And die on your lips.

Amid the gloom and travail of existence suddenly to behold a beautiful being... and as instantaneously to feel an overwhelming conviction, that with that fair form, our destinies must be entwined... this is love.

If all those glittering monarchs that command the servile quarters of this earthly ball should tender in exchange their shares of land, I would not change my fortunes for them all. Their wealth is but a counter to my coin... the world is but theirs; but my beloved is mine.

(Introduction)

[Something a little different today. I was looking through my Bad Money archives & found this. Since it brags about my gorgeous wife, I thought I'd re-post the relevant portion]

Anyway, what else makes a woman pretty...[stealing glances at Beloved Wife]

Ok, definitely that ass...
The way the hair falls in her face when she tilts her head...
The way her hair flies when she tosses it out of her face...
Those full, lush, pouty lips. If every woman had lips like that, infidelity would fade from the face of the earth...
That sweet little rack...
The fact that it's currently not covered by anything (YAY! BOOBIES!)...
Nipples that can perk through 3 layers of clothes (she thinks I keep the thermostat turned down to save on the gas bill)...
Hips wide enough to rest your hands on when you're dancing...
The way her nose wrinkles when she squints at me when I say something dumb...
Which, for the record, I hardly ever see. *ahem*...
Very expressive eyes. Hard to describe, really. But I have seen people whose faces never seem to change above the nose, no matter what they're saying, thinking, or feeling...

But mostly it's that smile. That smile that comes so easily and so naturally, and lights up her face like a sunrise over a summer meadow.

Yeah, smiles are sexy.

I could tell the first time you hugged me that we are meant to be. You hugged me in a way I had never been hugged before and it made me feel better than ever.

1 Who knew that a chokehold and autoerotic asphyxiation could be like this?

2 ...thanks for hugging Petey...

3 Wrap your arms around my back, open your mouth and squeeze me for all your worth!

It's been an uphill climb, but thanks to all you kind-hearted folks who've linked, I'm FINALLY "above the fold" for the Google search "love note" (without quotes).

(click to enlarge a LOT)

Now THAT'S a legacy I can be proud of.

Emotionally stifled as I am, you accept me anyway. That's the wonderful thing about love. It sands down all the rough spots, turning everything into fine lacquered furniture.
