The book thing

The Book Meme
At the suggestion of sskipstress:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth full sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around for the coolest book you can find. Use what's actually nearest to you.

BUT right equidistant on the other side of me:

"To you I would gladly come, Meredith, but not to all of you"

BUT behind me and equidistant...

yes I have an eclectic book collection and am sitting in my living room surrounded by them.

The boy

He and I have been together now for six months.

He helped me get over a painful parting and eased my sorrow in my time of need.

He makes me laugh. He's learning how to snuggle.

However, he's young. Very young. And there are times when I just want to wring his beautiful neck.

The other morning he accidentally broke my water glass and toothbrush holder in the bathroom. And rather than own up to it, he tried to push the pieces into a corner of the bathtub and pretend I wouldn't notice.

He won't listen to me when I tell him the rules of the kitchen and what can and cannot sit on the counters.

And today, I get home from a wonderful night out with the girls at a baseball game and I find the pantry flooded. I find him sitting there casually flinging water around. I stare at him, slack jawed and asked him just what the hell he was doing.

and he looks up at me with those gorgeous eyes of his, blinks slowly and says "Mrrow" and goes back to playing in the water dish.

Lord and Lady, I pray to you... give me the patience to survive the terrible twos of Kittenhood. So that Tzar Attila Ekaterinavich may live to see his first birthday next month.
