To Love or To Hate
Practice this morning was painful. I definitely think I had some food poisoning. My stomach was horrendously messed up all day. I was nauseous through most of practice but, nonetheless, I actually really enjoyed it. It's sorta wierd now because all the people I "know" do second series and it seems every Sunday there are more and more new faces in the crowd. Tim read from Hafiz today.... I have the same book but I am always stunned by the beauty of hearing poetry aloud.
I was finally able to eat something tonight and I made veggie burgers for The Husband and I. Then tonight I got to have a special treat. There's this new brand called "smart TREAT" at the HFS. They had a few different types of "chocolate cups" a chocolate macaroon, peanut butter cup and, the one I got, chocolate almond joy cup. It is vegan, wheat and dairy free. It was really good. The awesome thing about real foods, even the "candy" is that the list of ingredients is short and sweet and pronounceable. Rather than a list of chemicals making up a chocolate bar, the ingredients in these are: semisweet chocolate, almonds, desiccated coconut, flaxseed meal, organic quinoa flakes, soy oil, organic brown rice syrup. That's it. A girl can feel good eating candy with that list of ingredients :)
Tonight The Husband and I laid in bed for awhile listening to Peter Murphy's LIVE CD. We had the lights real low and we just sorta snuggled and listened. It's been a long time since we listened to music, or, rather, had the time to just sit like that together. It IS a little wierd and sorta cool to not have work at home. I actually have time at home. Wild.
A question we asked each other tonight: "What is the most important thing about you as a person." This question is a lot harder than it sounds. Do I answer with disregard for all the other people in my life and the way our lives make us a part of each other? So we split it up and asked What is the most important thing about you as a husband, father and person. This made it a lot easier. I answered: being supportive, being a nurturer and my spirit/soul. The Husband had a much harder time committing to any single answer. I'm not sold on my answers, it would require some more thought process but I was confident enough to commit. It's an interesting thing to think about and I wonder what some of you would answer?

I'm sold on the last part of your answer, your spirit or soul.
That's all the important stuff right there, everything that makes you you. It includes everything and excludes nothing.
