Mimi loves Fruits Basket anime. She sits through the entire opening and ending theme songs transfixed and while playing in her playpen will actually stop every few minutes to watch. Of course I play it in Japanese (can't stand dubs except for Spirited Away since I saw it first dubbed).
Now I have an excuse to buy the soundtrack(s).
Woot! Oh, and my husband ordered over $100 worth of comics for me yesterday. I found a site that listed all the major events/high points of Storm's comic career and we found the comics on MileHigh Comics. Of course some were way too expensive but the majority were decently priced or on sale up to %50 off! He was so generous because I let him buy over $100 of Punisher comics at the same site because most of those were on sale as well. Tit for tat.
On an entirely different note...I saw my counselor today. We talked further about my marriage and I told her that I have pretty much made up my mind to leave (eventually). She suggested, as have others, that it might be better to confront the issue now as opposed to later. So that it will give my husband a chance to take everything in and hopefully come to a mutual understanding. She said that I may not be giving him as much credit as he deserves as far as how he will take things. Which is true. Theres no way that he won't be hurt but I want to do my best to impart that this isn't his 'fault' or isn't because he's not 'good enough'. I also want to make it crystal clear that I will support him in whatever way I can while he is in Iraq and that he will always have a significant place in our daughter's life.
I believe we'll talk about it tonight. I'm so scared because I know he's going to be angry/hurt but I also hope understanding will come eventually. I just don't want to be a fraud, trying to keep things under wraps and keep my thoughts/opinions/feelings to myself out of fear of rejection or condemnation. I am scared of being alone but I'm even more scared of fading into a life of resentment/misery because of my unwillingness to confront my feelings and be honest with everyone.
Thank you
to everyone who has recently (and not so recently) offered a listening ear and advice on the matter.
Oh, and here are the hair pics. It looked better when it was first done but the messy locks are kinda growin' on me too.
*Edited to remove the third pic. The more I look at the hugeness that is my face, the more I don't like it. Vanity at work once more.
The rest are in my pics folder but for some real cuteness here's a couple of the pookie pie.
Enjoy!

i'm jealous...
oh, you've got lovely eyes...
i've mentioned it before, that i'm inthe same boat, and really i just worry about workign onm hte relationship while i'm in it. it wont end one day with one fight adn one mutual screaming match but i'm sure it'll end. when that time comes then i'll start dealing with my faer of being lonely and have a just fucked myself. for now all there is this and for now that's decent enough.
