i really wish it wasn't so that i get so ridicuously happy and excited whenever a boy enters the equation.  don't get me wrong - i am generally happy and excited about life in general, but the presence of a boy who has no shortage of kind words and kisses only seems to sweeten the deal.

come to think of it...that's probably pretty normal!  still, i'm used to being let down and i don't want to get my hopes too far up, just in case it isn't as wonderful as i'm thinking it is.

ok.  this really doesn't fit into my "don't talk about it or you'll jinx it" plan of action, but i can't help it!  i haven't been this full of grins in such a long time.  my house is full of the smell of raspberry tarts that i'm baking for our picnic on the beach tomorrow and i'm simply giddy and drunk off kisses and promises for more.  

golly.  what a girl!
