a dedication to my wife

***WARNING! sappy lesbians ahead!***

you know, you can take the girl out of texas, but you can't take the texas out of the girl -- at least thats what i say when i listen to country music and someone makes a face. when i'm being "ghetto" (that is the kids' description, not mine), i say you can take the mexican out of the barrio (ghetto), but you can't take the barrio out of the mexican.

anyway, our anniversary is coming up soon. 2/25 makes 10 years for the wife and i. that still amazes me when i think about it. 10 years is a long time. don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining. it just doesn't feel like we've been together that long. well, you know what they say... time flies when you are having fun. so today, i started listening to a few country songs and it took me down a musical path that made me both homesick and sentimental.

first came "little moments" by brad paisley, which is such a fitting song for the wife and i. (here is the video in case you are interested - not the actual video since i couldn't find it on youtube, but at least you can hear the song) he is basically talking about his wife and the cute things she does. i DO live for little moments like that.

then came "shameless" by garth brooks (here is the video in case you are interested - again, not the actual video since i couldn't find it on youtube either, but at least you can hear the song). i dedicated this one to the wife just before our commitment ceremony.


and then came "you had me from hello" by kenny chesney. i'd heard it before, but today it made my eyes water.



One word, that's all you said
Somethin' in your voice caused me to turn my head.
Your smile, just captured me
And you were in my future as far as I could see
And I don't know how it happened, but it happened still
You asked me if I love you, if I always will

Well you had me from "Hello"
I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you won me
It was over from the start
You completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know
You had me from "Hello"

Inside, I built a wall
So high around my heart, I thought I'd never fall
One touch, you brought it down
The bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground
And I swore to me I wasn't gonna love again
The last time was the last time I let someone in

But you had me from "Hello"
I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you won me
It was over from the start
You completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know
You had me from "Hello"

That's all you said
Somethin' in your voice caused me to turn my head
You had me from "Hello"
You had me from "Hello"
Girl I've loved you from "Hello"


it might be goofy, but its true. sweetie, you DID have me from hello. *insert sappy sigh here*

happy anniversary to us!

6 years and going strong.
i love you more today than yesterday...
but not as much as tomorrow.

i love this woman

its early afternoon and i'm sitting at my desk rubbing my lips together thinking how much i love the new lip balm i just got (burt's bees replenishing lip balm with pomegranite oil - this shit rocks!) when my phone rang. it was the wife and she asked me to come downstairs. i love surprise visits at work! but this one was even better. i got early mother's day presents:



roses:


a mushy card:


a HUGE balloon:


and a little angel:




i've been smiling all day ever since. i swear i love this woman!


you are the BEST, mi amor! thank you, thank you, thank you! i adore you!

i figured it was time to actually post something instead of a meme or a quiz, so here i am, still with lots to say and nothing at all at the same time. i wish i had time to do a dirty thirty, but i am at work right now and while i have half an hour left on my lunch break, i'm sure i'll get interrupted too many times. so, i figure i'll just ramble for a bit.

it has come to my attention (after discovering careless errors at work) that i am FRIED and in much need of some time to decompress and disconnect. to that end, i have a few things in mind:

i am hoping to be able to go on a women only spiritual camping trip soon. there are going to be all kinds of activities, all sorts of new things to learn, etc.

shortly thereafter, wifey and i are going to have an in-town getaway. going out of town (even though i had an offer to have hotel paid for) is just not feasible. wifey's business is new and she needs to be able to do SOME work every day just to keep up and keep those customers happy. plus, we have 4 dogs and a cat. the cost to board them alone is prohibitive. so we have decided to take a long weekend where she will work the minimum possible and we have no other plans than to be together. we desperatley need it. as my boss so eloquently put it, we need to take a weekend to suck and fuck to our heart's content. lol. while that may be true, we also need some couple time. i need to feel like more than a dishwasher, dog feeder, child picker upper and wifey needs to feel like more than a taxi driver and complaint department. and she really needs some time away from the computer. i think her mouse has indentations where her fingers go. i can think of much more fun things to do with those fingers.

before that, however (this coming weekend) i plan to spend at least one night (two if i'm lucky) heavily under the influence. i tried to do that this weekend, but it didn't work out.

i have been feeling rather strongly that i need to do something with my life lately. i've been feeling....... stagnant. i considered taking classes at the local community college, but it will take too long to get the degree i was interested in. seeing as how its not a requirement to do this thing i'm interested in (which is staying under wraps for awhile, hence the general references to this "thing"), i'm teaching myself. so far things are going well. the next task is to get my new computer up to speed so that i can do online tutorials and such. that is going to involve removing memory, a hard drive and cd-rom from the old computer and putting it all in the new one. while that may sound easy to some, i have never done any of those things. i'm concerned, but looking forward to the opportunity to learn such things.

for those of you who know what the moyo files, are, we have a new addition. wifey was going through her mp3s this weekend (some of which were downloaded by her godson) and she asked me if i like daddy yankee. but of course moyo yoyo over there asked me if like "doddy jankee" of course, i lost it. god i love that woman.

in un-related news, i took a few quizzes over at quizfarm and found out that:

i am a goddess
You scored as Goddess. You are a goddess. Your constantly helping people with their problems, but you never take time for you. You should try to take some alone time. Take a trip far away, where noone knows you. It will be good for you, because you deserve a break.

my kinky turn on is bondage:
You scored as Bondage. Your turn on is bondage... all out. You don't have a specific part of kinky sex that turns you on more than any other... everything working together turns you on. And why shouldn't it? Sex isn't sex without all the trimmings.

i'm a slave to bdsm:
You scored as A Slave To BDSM. Admit it, you like being tied up and being told you've been very naughty. You like teasing your partner and making them squirm, and not letting them be able to do anything about it. Some people think what you do is sick and disgusting, but you know it's all in good fun.
How are you in bed

and i'm a "surprise" dyke:
You scored as The Surprise! Dyke. Despite the dead giveaways, such as the tattoos and love of the L Word, people still seem to think that you're straight.

wifey and i have a gallery opening for one of her customers to go to tonight, so i'm leaving work early to get ready/girlie. i'm talking french manicure, hair straightened, make up, etc.
i'm actually looking forward to our little evening out quite a bit seeing as how we haven't had any couple time for a LONG time.

not much else to say, really. later gators!

did ya miss me?

so did you guys miss me at all? (here is where you insert a yes. there is no other answer cuz i know you were all missing me so much you couldn't stand it.)

so yeah. merry christmas, happy new year, happy hanukkah and all that jazz. i hope you all had a happy holiday. i got to see my mom for christmas. even if there was an issue on christmas eve, it was still great to spend time with her. we had a party at the house on new year's eve, which was also nice. we all had too much too drink and we all had a great time. i've heard that what you do on new year's eve is what you will be doing all year long. trust me, we rang it in right.

i don't really know why i haven't blogged lately. i guess its been a combination of a lack of time and lack of mojo (or moyo for my faithful readers). life in the spacey/green household has been a busy lately and happier than ever. wifey and i have been so sappy we've even said "we really need to get a room"

i do have to say, though, that she said something to me that made me quite sad the other day. no, it wasn't a fight or anything. it was just an observation that made me want to hold her and never let go. as a result of recent events and comments made to both of us, she said that she was tired of feeling like she had to prove herself to my family and friends. that broke my heart. the fact that someone as good and loving as wifey would feel that way saddens me. her family accepted me even when they thought i was only a "friend" and they really opened their hearts when they found out the truth. wifey hasn't been so lucky with my family and friends. my grandparents have come a long way and accept her now, but it was a rough road. she and my mom had their issues in the past as well, which have been worked out. we both kind of felt like my mom acted a bit different over the christmas holiday, but it could also have just been sensitive feelings over the drama on christmas eve. differing perceptions aside, i've learned that people don't always take the good with the bad when i tell the whole story and assume the worst when i leave out the nasty details. it frustrates me for me and for wifey. for me because i feel like i either can't say a damn thing or i need to over explain so that people don't think that whatever shitty thing is going on in my life is because of her. for her because she doesn't deserve anything but love and acceptance. she is truly the most beautiful human being i've ever known. truth be told, we've been through some shit. but we've been through it together. some of it i put her through, some she put me through and some we were put through as a couple and decided on the best path together. yes she makes me think i'm insane when we fight, but guess what, i'm rude as fuck when we fight too. shit happens. the bottom line is this woman makes me feel things i never thought possible. she makes me smile, laugh and cry from sheer happiness. it makes me crazy that the whole world can't see that.

i have to post a bit of a side note at this point. wifey just asked me what i was writing about and i said "you because you made me sad" to which she replied "you wouldn't post that without telling me first" (after asking me when, of course). when asked why, she said cuz i knew i'd get a spanking for doing something like that (its a deal we have. i'll never blog something she hasn't heard from me first). my answer was of course that i was telling the whole blog world that she was mean to me and called me names (so i can get the spanking, of course). so help me out people, tell her all the horrible stuff i told you guys about her while she wasn't looking so i can cash in!



bring it on, baby!

mojo lost

oh where oh where has my mojo gone,
oh where oh where can it be?

my mojo may be missing in action, but wifey just made me laugh so hard i cried. wifey, you see, is cuban. not even american born cuban. i'm talking born in cuba, lived in spain kind of cuban. we are talking hot latin blood to the max. she has, however, lived here since she was in elementary school. even so, she still pronounces some words with a spanish accent. i still think its cute, but i am used to it, for the most part. but tonight she just cracked me up. i was telling her about having lost my mojo and serious as a heart attack, she said to me "why did you lose your moyo, baby?" (moyo, not mojo) i think i fell over, literally. she looked at me completely bewildered and asked what i was laughing at. i explained "baby, its mojo, not moyo", but it only confused her more. she looked at me, serious as can be again and said "thats what i said. moyo" which only made it worse for me. she proceeded to tell me that it was just like the character on the powerpuff girls. you know the one. the monkey? moyo yo yo? at this point i was on the bed in hysterics. to her credit, she was laughing too and actually getting right a few times. between fits of laughter, i told her "oh i am SO blogging about this tomorrow" to which she said "i'm not speaking to you" and continued laughing and trying to say mojo over and over, and asking "did i get it right?" after each one. we were laying down at this point and as she drifted off to sleep, she was still mumbling "moyo. moyo yo yo. mojo. mo jo jo"

i swear i love that woman.
