The Boy is coming! The Boy is coming!!
new Friend: Hey, Me, so the boy is coming next weekend, eh? How exciting...we finally get to meet him!!
Me (words exploding before I have chance to edit) : NO. I don't think so!
silence.
Me: well, the thing is ... he's only here for the weekend...
more silence
Me (desperate not to sound desperately agressive/protective girlfriendish): Well, you know, the thing is...
Sigh. Why is it so difficult to explain that when the boy and I are apart, it feels like sometimes I am grasping for breath and want as much of him as I can possibly get.
When he is physically here, I want him, completely and in unadulterated doses, all to myself. Which sounds terribly unhealthy but really, I look at it like hibernation. We need to take as much of each other as we possibly can for the long months apart.
And I know he has friends who would love to spend time with him, but one Saturday and a measly Sunday morning after 2 months is simply not enough for us.
We need to sit, stare, drive, talk, laugh, giggle and be made to watch our fav shows together (his and mine).
So, new friend, sorry for sounding a tad psycho girlfriendish, but the boy and I are not emerging from self-styled cocoon the whole of next weekend. We are perfectly hospitable and social people but come next weekend, I will slam the door on you if you come knocking.
Graphic Designer Nerd said it best in her post:
"From now on.. ALL his moments are mine.. and all my moments are his... FORGET about individual space..
Ed says he intends on getting to know all my molecules and atoms ... personally. and i wholeheartedly agree"

that is sooo beautiful and romantic... sigh... I feel that way, too, and I see my boy every day... so what if I am codependant? I'm happy, right? have a wonderful time with Boy today--drink him in and then sop him up with a nice dry biscuit... um, I'm signing off, bacause now I sound like a cannibal!
Ummmmm, did I say today? I am such an idiot. I meant next Saturday, of course...
My current word verification code is "hflusbda" which I think has a pleasant ring to it.
[knock knock knock]
Anybody home? LOL
Ira came and did a show with our radio station last year. It was a huge hit and I think we wore him out!!!!! Hope he's recovered enough to do you justice!
Honey, don't be apologetic! You and the Boy don't live in the same place. You have every right to be selfish of your time with him. It's limited. Besides you've got a wedding to plan. If your friend doesn't understand this well...
Codependancy is in the eyes of the beholder, girlysmack, so what if we are, right? And I like hflusbda too.
Attila -aaaaaaaaaaaaaanooooo!
Sayre- really, ira came to your town...sweet!!!
paperback - thanks honey, thanks!
