A letter to my husband

We are too poor for gift exchanges so I wrote him a letter. Why am I posting something so personal? Some people shout their love from rooftops, I am shouting mine from my blog. :)

Mistakitty,

No fancy presents, no fancy dinners, no fancy nights out. I do not need these things because I have you. You are the light of my life, my other half… I would not be me without you. Over the past 9 years of marriage I have experienced more joy and happiness than any fairy tale has ever promised. You are my rock in stormy weather, my inner voice when I am alone. I can go entire days without speaking to another person, yet not feel lonely because I always have you in my heart. We are not perfect people but we are perfect together, we have been since day one. You are truly my soul mate. I am the luckiest person in the world having met you, defying the odds and sitting next to you at a random concert 10 years ago, who would have thought it would bring me here. I am so completely in love with my husband, and I love our marriage. I have loved every moment of my life with you, thank you so much for sharing your life with me.

Love Always and Forever,
MissesKitty

9 years ago today

We were babies when we got married, and I love him more than ever.

Twas the Night Before Christmas

I am working this morning. Bah humbug I say! Someone at work sent us this cute little poem.. if you work in the airline industry enjoy, if not... you might not get the jokes but hope you enjoy the rhymes.

Merry Christmas Internetland!



The Night Before Christmas

It was the night before Christmas
At hundreds of Gates
They tried boarding the public
Having oversold space

Dispatch was snarling
And Crew Sked was worried
They had phoned the Reserves
"To the airport-please hurry"

The pilots were grumpy
Reservations was harried
The girls working trips
All wished they were married

Air Traffic Control
Up high in towers
Was posting delays
Of up to four hours

When the last flight departed
All stopped for a rest
They cursed Christmas travel
"Just look at this mess"

The stand-by's still waiting
With expression so sad
And those who got bumped
Were screaming like mad

Who wants Yuletide spirit
On a Christmas Eve trick?
Who wants to believe
In a guy named St. Nick?

But when all seemed so gloomy
And there was no Christmas cheer
The ground crews looked up
At a sound they did hear

For all of a sudden
From out of the night
Came a sound like loud thunder
And a blinking red light

They knew what was landing
Was no seven-three-seven
It was even to small
For a BAC One-Eleven

A voice split the darkness
It gurgled and chuckled
So happy and cheerful
The gloom simply buckled

"On ExpressJet and Delta
British Air and Northwest
On American and United
Don't stop for a rest"

"On planes of Boeing
And the whole Embraer fleet
Plus all MD-Eighties
You've got schedules to meet"

"On all you airlines
Commuters and shuttles
We're flying tonight
Don't give me rebuttals"

The blinking red light
Came close to the ground
And the cold winter night
Seemed to split at the sound

The lights on the runway
Were turned on full bright
They bathed the strange object
That had come from the night

It had no big cockpit
No wings nor a tail
No space for much baggage
Or even air mail

The onlookers gasped
No words could they say
For what had just landed
Was a jet-powered sleigh

One captain was stricken
With gross inferiority
For the man on the sleigh
Had more seniority

His beard was a-bobbin'
His clothes were all red
His build was so chubby
No more need be said

"I'm Santa!" he cried
In a joyous voice
They all had to listen
There was no other choice

"I know you're all tired
And feeling like Scrooge
You define the Christmas Spirit
As a bottle of booze"

"But remember, my friends
As you gripe and you groan
You've helped people fly
To their loved ones at home"

"They gave you no thanks
They took you for granted
But in each one of you was
A bit of old Santa"

"For this I do thank you
As I continue my flight"
Bringing Joy to the world
On his kerosene kite

He shoved on the throttles
T'was a glorious sight
As the sleigh left the runway
And sped through the night

They all shook their heads
Just a dream they insisted
On the ATC records
That flight's still unlisted

But it really did happen
Though it doesn't seem rational
At every world airport
From Indy to National

We expect your disbelieve
And the doubts we have raised
But it's still "MERRY CHRISTMAS"
From the gang at the Base

Doing The Unstuck

This is my happy song!

Zee happy family

And here we are.. darling daughter, doting mother, adoring father. I love the simplicity of the picture (yes I know it needs cropped, I am lazy) but there we are, no toys, no distractions just us, big smiles, and lots of love. Nothing sweeter in the world and I cherish every second of it.

Holiday In Vegas

I think it was South Park that brought up the subject of how long you have to wait before AIDS becomes funny. It was funny at our house today, no HIV is not funny, but mocking society's initial reaction and putting those fears into today's context was.

I played Susie Homemaker today, threw on an apron and cooked dinner. Something about the apron makes the food yummier.

I saw that they have opened the house from A Christmas Story as a museum up in Cleveland. I would love to run up there and visit. Also we need to go to New York City. I have been to Newark tons of times and seen the city's skyline from Jersey but I have yet to go into the city... unlike a certain hubby and roomate. And Vegas, the Bellagio is doing Christmas songs right now... if little bit wasn't around that is how we would be spending our weekends... but no amount of travelling is as much fun as hearing her giggle. I think when she is a bit older we will start up the travelling again, in the mean time my luggage is getting dusty and my flight benefits remain dormant.

I am cold, time to grab a blanket and watch some Arrested Development
