strange when you think about it... which is probably why I don't think about it.

in the last year, I have spent more time sitting in my chair working on a computer than I have collectively spent with my wife, my family, my friends.

I have spent more time with my co-workers than I have collectively spent with my wife, my family, my friends.

I have become friends with my co-workers, but they will always be co-workers to me. I have always made it (whether subconcious or not) a habit to never really connect on too deep a level with people I have gone to school with or people that I work with. of course I had friends in school and at work, but only a small handful have really made it through graduations and through relocations. many of my good friends I met during school or work, but almost never at my school or work...

so when I think about my priorities, what should I really be thinking about?

I think that the time spent when you are together is very important. the time together doesn't have to be deep and profound and epiphanies don't need to be made... all that matters is that you cherish the time you have when you are together. that you appreciate the love and friendship you have available to you.

that's what I live for.

I live for the moments when I can just be with lorie, no matter what... if I have to go with her and sit while she is getting her hair done, or if I have to endure walking through grocery stores or even help cook [gasp]! I love every one of those moments. when we sit there and watch tv together - even if it is general hospital or gilmore girls - I'm just glad to be with her. it's not often you find someone that you just want to give your life to... someone to love and someone that all you want is for them to be happy...

sigh...

when I say I miss her I think that would be the understatement of the century.

when I say I love her, if love were a grain of sand, my love would be a thousand beaches...

so when I say I wish I could spend more time with her...

you have an inkling...
