About 48 hours from now hubby will be home.
I can't wait -- I've missed him. I got used to the 'couple bubble' again over the summer, so being without it (or, having it spread between here and Red State) is hard.
It isn't that I'm not comfortable in our new place (I love it!).
It isn't that I'm not busy and getting things done, because I am.
Rather, I miss the daily comfort of living with my hubby. I miss the casual conversation that doesn't happen over the phone. I miss having someone else to do cat therapy and someone to go out for ice cream with me...
I miss the couple bubble...

by the way...
Hubby and I have a deal. He limits his poker losses to his 'fun' money. When he wins a bit, he buys me stuff to buy off my Scandinavian dislike for any kind of risk with money...
Last week hubby won enough playing poker to get me a new, 80 gig, video ipod.
It is coooool. It is a black and I found a snazzy, red Liz Claiborn case for it... It has a bunch of video on it and isn't even 30% full.
I can now watch/listen to TV on airplanes and while I'm driving in Iowa.
I'm already watching Jehrico on it and I have the first episodes of a couple of other things... any suggestions?

Hubby's home...
After dodging maniacs in semis and SUVs, Hubby is home.
It took him about 9 hours, when it should have been under 6.
He was tired and a bit carsick from being tossed around by the wind.
But, he's home.
The cats are happy to see him, as am I.

Hubby vs. THE STORM...
BN state is in a 'winter storm warning' from noon today until 6:00 PM Friday.
Hubby plans to drive home tomorrow night, right when it could get icky. Of coure, he'll b safe, blah, blah, blah... and, he's coming home for spring break, so it will happen sooner or later...
As far as I'm concerned, once he gets off the highway, it can snow like the dickens... I love snow and I'd LOVE to be snowed in with hubby for a few days.
I'm even planning to go to the grocery store on the way home to make sure we won't starve -- part of the hibernation instinct in us natives-- storm warning = trip to the store...
but, if it could hold off until hubby gets good and close to home, that would be wonderful!
so --weather gods on the internet, please - let hubby come home. The cats miss him.

V-Day....
I don't recall the exact date, but I know I met hubby 21 years ago this month. I'm pretty sure it was just before Valentine's day, because I remember being sad that I couldn't send him a flower in some bizarre high school mating rituatl that involved a student activities fund-raiser that let you send flowers to your friends in school...
I was 17, he was just about to turn 18.
I was a junior, he was a senior.
We were both in an Advanced Composition class and he'd already called our teacher 'incompetent'. He had yet to write his term paper on Watership Down... yea, only hubby would write a paper about an autobiographical novel using a book whose main characters are rabbits. And, only hubby would end up having to type it in mint green and brown... little did I know how those things wouldn't come as a surprise to me today.
Little did I know then that we'd be happily married 21 years later --- heck, I wasn't even sure we'd have a second date. I knew that somehow he'd always be in my heart -- I just couldn't see us together forever because I was sure our paths were leading us away from one another... thank God hubby saw things in a different light -- and thank God I was home when he came to Mom's a few years later.
21 years ago he was a geeky kid headed into the Air Force. I was a tall, quiet blonde who just got her driver's liscense and was about to start a job at McDonalds. On our first date we went to the mall and played video games -- we also talked non-stop. That night I did the kiss-and-run... officially I kissed him first. I'm happy to say we've improved on that one considerably :).
Today I taught two college philosophy classes and coached debate. He gave a kick-butt presentation at his college in Red State and is now rewarding himself for a job well-done. We sent one another pajamagrams and will meet in Corn state on Sunday night to celebrate Valentine's day. We've been many more romantic places together, but this weekend a nice hotel in Corn State will be the place for us.
