Yes, they've been overplaying this song on the radio lately...but I can't seem to get enough of it. I'm not usually a huge Phil Collins fan, but...this song gets under my skin in a way most other songs don't. Therefore, I downloaded it off the 'net and I'm listening to it over and over. Dunno why.
I'm feeling more lighthearted today than I have in a long time. Last night, I got together with Alex. We got a lot of shopping done for the wedding, rented Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which I had never seen), and headed back to his house. We spent our "date night" quite domestically: He cooked pasta for dinner, and we ate while watching Buffy. It was a silly, cheesy movie, but lots of fun. I may have to watch the first few episodes of the series again. I really liked the Buffy series before it became a teen soap opera. In any case, after dinner, we sat on the living room and started sorting Alex's HUGE comic book/manga collection into alphabetical order. We got five out of seven comic book boxes sorted...a great accomplishment! Then we took a break and ate apple toast while watching Love Hina.(There's this faboo apple streudel bread out now, and you can toast it and eat it without butter and it tastes FABOO. The company that makes it is called "Inkeeper's Bed and Breakfast," I think. The bread is low-fat, low-cholesterol, and it tastes better without anything on it than it does with butter or margarine. Yummy!) We also got snuggle time, which is essential to my mental and physical well-being. *smiles* Sometimes, it's just the simple, everyday things that make a day great. Spending time with just Alex tends to rejuvenate me and help me balance mentally. I feel like I can talk to him about everything, and even when he irritates me (as he does occasionally, but I probably irritate him, too), the irritation doesn't last long. We deal with the little things as they come up, and even if we argue, we find common ground so quickly that no argument has a chance of becoming a fight. At least, so far. I have a feeling that we could handle a fight if one came up--nothing can truly separate us. That's a great feeling--that kind of faith in knowing that you've found true love, and nothing can destroy it. ^_^
I also stayed up too late last night, reading and working on a story called "Slave to the Pen"...and I slept until 11:00 am today. Bad me! But I needed the sleep. It was a good thing. Even after sleeping in, I got a lot done today. I did tons of laundry (I've been doing laundry for the past week), and I also finished up a page for the wedding website that Alex and I are designing. Whee!
Speaking of laundry...I found all kinds of fun shirts that I haven't seen in months because I tend to only do laundry when I run out of socks. For instance, today I'm wearing one of my favorites, a shirt that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
arianadream gave me: It's a pink baby-doll shirt that says, "WARNING: HIGH SUGAR CONTENT" on it. *giggles*
Well, I ought to dash off and do more laundry and take care of more chores. For those of you who pray: Please pray for my dad. He and Mom went into the doctor because there's something wrong with Dad's leg--swelling or something. They're doing an ultrasound to find out what's wrong. For those of you who don't pray: Please send happy thoughts! Thanks!
