happy b.d.
2005-06-28, 3:47 p.m.
adonis woke me up this morning. he had been up since 6:30 varnishing the floors in the 1st floor apartment upstairs. i was still sleeping. when i opened my eyes there he was, in his work clothes, the smell of varnish on his skin, a big smile on his face and singing "Happy Birthday to you!!!" in one of those ernie and burt-like voices that can injure your throat if you keep it up too long. (i should know i used to do it all the time when i was a kid.)
i had forgotten my own birthday, so this came as a huge and pleasant surprise. he had remembered.
when he bought my engagement ring i told him this was my birthday present, so that he wouldn't spend another cent on me. (we have to be more frugal with our money now).
i love my ring. it's a solitaire diamond, white gold band. not quite a carat. i picked it out myself. my fingers are tiny and we don't have a lot of money to waist on a damn ring, so i didn't want to go overboard. anyway it's beautiful.
last year at this time i received a text message from adonis. he had only known me two days, but there it was..."Happy B.D. Rose." i knew then that this was a man i could fall in love with.
i can't believe i'm 36 years old. he's still only 29. if you had told me i would end up with someone who was nearly 7 year younger than i am, i would not have believed it.
