http://www.theyearningheart.com/entry Just another WordPress weblog Wed, 19 Sep 2007 04:39:00 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Whew. OK, I’m not going to go back and post-edit like I usually do, second-guessing myself and trying to make sure every sentence makes sense. I’m just going to put this up. OK, here’s what’s up. About a week after my last post (yes I know it’s been two months, but there’s a ... http://www.theyearningheart.com/entry/2007/09/18/prendre-le-conge/ I pushed. I didn’t really want to, but I guess I had to know. And it wasn’t easy to ask, so for courage, I opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass. Then another. Then I offered one to Monsieur, and then I poured myself another. I was nervous. Of course, ... http://www.theyearningheart.com/entry/2007/07/18/pushy/ We had DSL out, or intermittently off-and-on, for the last week. There were horrible floods downhill from us, in Marble Falls especially, and other places. Skip and Monsieur were out there; Skip was hauling in debris on a backhoe, and Monsieur coordinating some emergency networks for the locals. the creek, flooded. Low-water ... http://www.theyearningheart.com/entry/2007/07/02/after-the-flood/ We’re home. Everything went great with Monsieur’s procedure. (Read here, here.) The only bad thing was that we had to wait to get in. He had to be there at 8:30 to get the TEE ultrasound and it didn’t get done. The catheter part was scheduled for 1:30 pm, and it ... http://www.theyearningheart.com/entry/2007/06/21/recovery/ I did something totally sneaky, duplicitous and behind the back. No, I didn’t screw the mailman. Ours looks like Mayberry’s Floyd the Barber. A nice enough guy, but not my type. OK, you know about Monsieur’s little heart flutter. Well, he will go in to the hospital on Tuesday for a transesophageal ... http://www.theyearningheart.com/entry/2007/06/15/duplicity/ I hadn’t mentioned here that there is one thing that I really, truly, and totally hate about Monsieur and about living with him, and it is this: He does not get sick. Really, and I mean never. This is frustrating, especially to me. I am beset by allergies, flus, viruses and the ... http://www.theyearningheart.com/entry/2007/06/13/how-can-you-mend-a-broken-heart/ You remember last time: He took me in his arms and picked me up, putting me over his shoulder and carrying me to the bedroom. I was completely undressed and Monsieur still fully dressed. He even had on his shoes and tie. I kept pulling at his clothes, trying to unbutton or ... http://www.theyearningheart.com/entry/2007/06/11/the-hardest-part-ii/ We were watching something on TV. No, he wasn’t. I was watching something. A pretty awful yet funny movie. About ¾ of the way through, Monsieur’s arm was around my shoulder, and I’m thinking, just do it. Just take it. Don’t make me ask for it. Don’t ask if it’s okay. ... http://www.theyearningheart.com/entry/2007/06/10/the-hardest-part/  You scored as Slut/Tomboy/Nerd, Slut 56% Athletic Tomboy 56% Nerdy Girl 50% Popular Bitch 38% Hippy 38% Loser 19% Goth 6% Preppy Girl 0% What type of girl are you?!!created with QuizFarm.com http://www.theyearningheart.com/entry/2007/06/04/no-surprise-really/ I'm going on a date tonight!
