Dear Diary,

It's been a hard couple of weeks. Too many bugs. Too many wounds. Too much fighting. Too little sleep.

The strain has started to show. But the

I can do it.

"Hello. SIT down. Look. You two managed to find each other, and want to make it work. Recognize that's 90% of the battle right there, and now just go have a vacation."

See?

[bldy_cute_molly]

and now just go have a vacation."

He has suggested that, you know.

But Gil. And I mean this due repect and all. Love ya buddy.
But you're not married. And that whole engagement thing didn't really work out so well for you, either.

We might take that vacation, but I'm afraid the problems will still be there when we get back. Besides. You know very well I don't set right with idleness. I'd probably drive the poor man mad with my fidgeting.

[gil_karm]

Who said anything about being IDLE? Vacation does not mean idle.

And my point was exactly that I'm not married. You two stuck it out. You GOT that far. That's more than most people do, on a marriage based on each other instead of what power the other brings them.

My icon is cuter than your icon!

Oh, really?

Oh! No, you meant the bug icon! Well, yes. I was going for more the unbounded twitching hate in my icon. In a cute way, yes, but still hate.

...kick a girl when she's down, why don't you?

Harvey wants to know if you want to come with us on our short jaunt to Minos where the seas are red....

as a slight break from bugs.

Ha ha! Cuteness check-mate!

Harvey wants to know if you want to come with us on our short jaunt to Minos where the seas are red....

I am assuming Harvey is the dead rabbit?

I will...um...have to ask my husband if I can go, first.

(Do NOT, under pain of death, ever tell my Boss that I just said that.)

Molly, baby...sweetie. I'll counsel you..I recommend copius amounts of rum, wonderful smash down, drag out fights..and lots of make up nookie.

[bldy_cute_molly]

That's good advice. Would the fights be with the husband or with random strangers. I'm assuming the nookie would be with the husband.

[callisto_rta]

Husband! Wont it be fun when you make up?

[bldy_cute_molly]

I am, oddly enough, not terribly surprised by this.

But I don't think I'll be needing your particular services in this matter. Seeing as how I actually do like my husband and want to keep him around a bit.

I suspect, you see, that the "side" you're referring to is the side of a very sharp knife or something similar.

Molly!Molly! We really should have some milkshakes and cry over spilt milk!

It's fun.

It's new.
