Other People's Love Letters

Stumbled upon a book the other day. Here's a beautiful excerpt:

"So, you wanna know what I want? I want it all. I want to be in love so much it hurts. The frissons. The pin pricks. The mind-blowing sex. The connection. And I want to be married with kids I adore and a husband who makes me feel safe, sexy, smart, secure, silly, serious, salacious, sinful, serene, satisfied. I want someone who makes me laugh until milk comes out of my nose. I want to finish someones sentences. I want to believe in someone, in something, in a future that's not just about laundry and soccer practice and subdivisions and minivans and guilt-tripping grandparents. I want to make someone a better person. I want to be a good example. I want to love some kids into the world. I want someone who stimulates my brain as much as my body. I want to taste everything and go everywhere. I want to give and I want to get. I want too much and I want it all in one person."

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Taking Reservations

The Guest bedroom is complete! Casa de Cull is taking reservations.
I need to give thanks to the following people:

• First, the movers for getting the main furniture up those stairs
• My mom for giving me the duvet cover and pillow cases (not to mention great taste)
• Chris for shopping with me, making returns with me, and having a smile on his face most of the time
• The woman at Lowe's who let me take the floor model mirror because I didn't like any of the ones that were packaged
• Stephanie for her bringing her drill, patience and humor while installing the roman shades and fixing the side table which broke in the process.

House Updates

My dearest cousin Stacey who refuses to get facebook has asked me to post pictures of my new home. I love her dearly, so here's the new place! It's a work in progress, but things are moving along.
