Best gift ever PLUS @Avitable’s ass crack!

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Remember way back when a few weeks ago when I accidentally inslutted insulted my dear husband *gag* with a post about his less-than-stellar gift-giving abilites?

He just made up for all of those yeas of weird-ass thoughtful gifts.

Yesterday for Mother’s Day, he surprised me with a brand new Nikon D5000 DSLR.

I KNOW.

I KNOW!

Like, he saved, researched, and put on his very own credit card, a fancy pants camera just for me that he’ll never lay a hand on.

*thud*

Being the mad woman I am, I took over 250 pictures yesterday.

I share with you the best with a few nuggets of Awesome at the end.

Do you realize how hard it is to have 2 dressed up girls and 1 dressed up VERY toddler boy pose, smile, and look in the direction of the camera all 3 at the same time?

Very.

But OH TEH CUTE you get as a result of the yelling, funny faces, arguments, wrangling, and bribing their grandmother.

There has been many 1000 times (+/- a few) that I’ve mentioned how much I love the friends I’ve found on the internets.

The drama that lives in the little box is the same drama that lives in the houses in which they live.

same same

Something different, however, is the vast variety of people I’ve found here amongst the masses of lovelies. There really truly are bunches and loads of amazing people out in the world.

I know. I’ve met them.

I call them my friends.

I’m lucky enough to say this with so much conviction and honesty: Piper of Love is one of the dearest, most beautiful people I’ve ever met.

Truly.

She’s drop-dead gorgeous. She used to be a fatty like me, but she took control, lost weight, and is now (not that she wasn’t before) one of the great beauties of the world. I do not lie.

She has two beautiful boys from a rocky past relationship, and she’s been through hell finding the right job.

She’s dated a few mens, and if I weren’t married and if she was gay, I’d woo her to be my lady.

Several months ago (I think almost a year), she met an amazing man. He woo’d her. He made her laugh. He loved her boys.

He asked her to marry him.

Doves flew!
Bells rang!
Angels cried!

Truly, the internet collectively sighed in happiness for Piper.

The date: 10.10.10

Pretty AWESOME if you ask me.

Until last week.

He broke Piper’s heart.

He broke her boys’ hearts.

He broke my heart.

He broke her friend’s hearts.

He ended their fairytale romance with one phone call.

Since that day, her friends have rallied together to create a circle of love for Piper. We’ve emailed back and forth for days (though, I kind of think Piper would want to be included, but then, how could it be a surprise?) coming up with ways we could love on her from afar.

I think we’ve done a pretty damn good job of putting out our love and support energies to her. She’ll be receiving loves in her mailbox for weeks.

I hope she can feel it.

I hope she knows she is truly loved by me, by us.
