Things I Love SO MUCH.

Lynden is the most joyful little dude I've ever met. He's funny and smart and in the habit of throwing himself on the floor but not making much of a fuss when he doesn't get what he wants, which is nearly always "tandy" (candy). Or "chocate milk!"

Vivi is in the stage of throwing absolute fits, prompted by anything but mostly access to candy, not getting amovie she wants, and when Betsy reads James and the Giant Peach instead of Daddy. This little lady is much braver than I was at her age, but just as emotional. I love it. "SO MUCH!" as Genevieve says.

Vivi loves to sew with me, she likes the shish shwoop of the needle coming up and going down. When she lays her head on my shoulder to watch, I'm the happiest couch potato on the planet. And when that little dude dances to funk music, my heart goes crazy. I'm lucky. I'm lucky SO MUCH that I have these little people in my life.

And then there's this guy. My best friend. He makes me laugh. And all kinds of other good stuff. And then there's this that relieves my need to create. That's very important.

I was going to list stuff I hate, like slurping from a water fountain, having a desk by the bathroom at work, humidity, folding laundry...but then I remembered. I love a lot of things SO MUCH more than I hate a lot of things. That's important, too.
