over and over and over again
Whew. Crisis averted. Boyfriend home.
The harper’s + 1 all arrived home safe and sound this morning at 8. I’d been awake since 6, up since 7 as it was like Christmas and I just couldn’t wait to see my boy. Of course, they were all a wreck as it is a 9 hour flight and to their bodies, it was 3 in the morning. Cosmo was v. excited as I’m sure he really believed that he’d been abandoned to me for forever. Not that he minded, but he really needs more than one person, plus I have this crraazzzyyy habit of working 10 hour days.
Anyways, I was sitting at the kitchen table drinking tea and working on yesterday’s time crossword puzzle when I turned around to see my boy in the foyer. Ah, so nice to hold each other tight. I had about an hour and a half before I had to be into work (I have xps time today) and so I sat on the couch, he laid with his head in my lap and half sleep half helped as I continued to work on the crossword puzzle and chat with his mom.
Glad that I’m not them as today they are all going to spend crashed. Though emma did promptly leave for coffee and a bagel. She’s my favourite. And I’m only kinda hanging in there as my 5 or so hours of sleep is way less than I need to operate. So it was v. wise of me to schedule xps time today as I just have to babysit it and calculate concentrations. (though the real reason I schedule xps time for today was it was the first one I didn’t need to go home for lunch with cosmo. Oh, I’m going to miss lunch with cosmo.)
Needless to say, I’m looking forward to the next day+. (though I’m going to saw way to go if you have put up with my ridiculous sappiness so far!)
I’m quite disgusted with the new jersey governor situation. I’ve read so much about it. (thank you haper’s times.) I find it so unfortunately that him coming out as gay is linked to him being corrupt. One does not put one’s love (male or female) in a job period. Even if they are qualified (which this guy was not). One just should not do it. I hate that his homosexuality is being tied up with it. It just goes to reinforce a lot of ignorant people’s stereotypes of gay men being sharmy (sp?). This was a sharmy thing to do. I would of rather him just resigns admitting that he made a mistake in giving his lover a job. Why does he have to say whether it a male or a female? In my perfect world, people would not care at all if someone running in an election is gay or straight, but unfortunately, it is not a perfect world, and I hate that mcsweeny’s sexuality is getting tied up in his corrupt behaviour.
Also, please, please, please, John Kerry and John Edwards explain to me the logic of not allowing homosexuals to marry (and not in a political capital way). I want want want to live in a world were people aren’t idiots. And that logic rules.
