It�s so funny now that I�m actually knitting well. Luke will be sitting across form me reading or something and just start staring at what I�m doing. I think he wants to learn, so once I get a little better at it I�ll teach him. It�s a little unnerving to see him staring so intently at me, but I don�t mind it too much. He says it�s because he loves me. (All together now: Awwwwwww)

Luke got out of work early last night, so I had to run out earlier than expected to get him. When I got there, he had two giant cups full of chowder for me (3/4 of which went into the fridge, � went into my belly). Some spilled down my leg while I was driving because he had put it into a fairly unstable place, so it looked like someone had spunked on me.

Last night when we were going to bed, I got a little mushy and said something along the lines of my wishing that we were more �established�. He said he did too, but I thought he just meant it so that there would be less stress on us. I mentioned that his feelings about it were different from mine and that my wishing about it revolved around our ability to marry, but he gave me a real shock. He told me that if we were financially solvent right now, he would marry me in a heartbeat, that 25 isn�t some magical hard and fast number, but a point that he figures we�ll be set by. I�d always thought that 25 was just some arbitrary rule he�d set for himself and that he�d never marry prior to it on principle. I almost cried when he explained himself. It�s a wonderful thing to know that he feels the same way I do. Being so overwhelmed despite being tired, so much emotion led to a goodnight kiss led to making out led to wonderful loving sex.

As a result of waking at 9:30 yesterday and going to bed at nearly 3 this morning, I actually got to sleep as much as I wanted to. I woke briefly at 9:30, but had no trouble getting back to sleep and stayed that way until noon. Andy called shortly after I got up and wanted to know if I wanted to go to an outlet mall more than an hour away with him. I told him I didn�t know and that I would call him when I got back from dropping Luke at work, but here I am an hour post droppage and I�m online avoiding AIM because I don�t want to go. I honestly have too much to do. I skipped working out yesterday because I spent so much time walking around and cooking and knitting and not eating, so I have to do it today. I also have to clean up the kitchen and a few other little miscellaneous things I haven�t gotten to lately, like snipping the heads off my now dead roses and stowing them away for memory�s sake. I think a girl should always save her first dozen red.

I was thinking last night that when I get into a little better shape, I might like to take up running. I�ve been doing it in short bursts over the past few days, running across the odd parking lot to the car, chasing after Luke, what have you, and it�s not as bad as I once thought it. Sure, it�s a little hard on the tits, but for a girl who�s never liked running to suddenly like it is a big deal, so we�ll have to see how that goes.
