Alexandra Muses

It's our second anniversary today. We've been married for two years, but we've been together for more like six and a half. It doesn't feel that long, but at the same time it feels forever.

Reasons I Love My Husband (for Those Of You Who Only Hear Me Complain)

1. He is the kindest person in the world.
2. He is selfless to a fault.
3. He has near-impeccable taste in furniture, colors, clothes, etc. (wives, I'd like to think...)
4. He'd do anything for me. Anything. It's a bit scary!
5. He's predictable.
6. He loves my cooking. Except Thai, which I can't do and hence he has reason to not like.
7. He respects my need for alone-time and -space.
8. When I'm happy, he's happy.
9. He does dishes, frequently without being asked.
10. I successfully trained him to put the toilet seat back down.

We went up to a little woodsy space that's halfway between here and the beach, and walked through it to the tram. It was nice to go sort-of hiking with him; we haven't been in a woodsy place together for years. He bravely navigated the shallow sandy stairs down one hill (yes, omg, there were hills! sort of) and neither complained nor apologized the entire time, of which the latter is the greater blessing.

So, he'll take a little nap on the couch, I'll probably write a bit more of Attention, which I so want to finish, and then (tmi) we'll try out the condoms that just arrived!

I'm using MacJournal to write this -- I paid $30 for it, and after testing it for a few weeks a while ago, I rather like it. I just didn't see any use for it until now, when LJ's popularity appears to be majorly on the wane, and in addition, I don't quite feel right staying with a blogging community that doesn't enforce the rules exactly as stated in its TOS, and is pretty much in control of external forces, rather than its customers.

Yeah, I didn't plan to have any content here, but I guess that didn't work.

Anyway, I'd like to actually blog about interesting stuff -- I feel like my creativity has vanished in the last few years, and I really don't like that feeling.

In case LJ goes down completely, I'm here. I was lowlands_girl on LJ, and now that I'll be leaving the Netherlands soon for (yay!) sunny California, or at least the sunny part of California, I figured it was time for a better name.

Well, now I just have to wait and see.
