Dancing on the street corner…

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

I just have to start off by saying, I LOVE HIM! I can’t begin to explain this joy I have in my heart and how happy this man makes me. He is amazing. I am so lucky to have him in my life. I am crazy about this Greek gargoyle that gets a kick from antagonizing the hell outta me.
Yesterday, we stood outside his diner, just talking about our day. He asked me to dance for him. I laughed and said, "I am not going to shimmy for you on the corner of 86th and York!" He replied, "Why not?" Then he did a shimmy and I was dying from laughter. Just when I was about to calm down, he grabs me and twirls me around. We just danced! Can you imagine me and him dancing on the street corner of 86th and York?
He makes me laugh like no other. He really lives to make me laugh. He growls because he knows I love it. He scratches himself like a monkey because I call him an orangutan (yes, I know orangutans are primates, not monkeys). He makes annoying, totally politically incorrect and stereotypical comments about Asians because he knows I get a kick out of it. I am so happy and I know how lucky I am! Gosh, I love this man so much!
I don’t know what I ever did to deserve to have someone love me as much as he does. I thank my lucky stars and my guardian angels for this blessing disguised as a totally hot Greek! Oooohhh…my babe is one sexy mother-effer! He is so smart. He is a great listener. He is kind. He is so polite. He is modest. He is so strong. He is even nice to my brothers!
Do you have any idea how much fun we have by doing the simplest of things? Do you know how great it feels for Mr.This-Is-A-Place-Of-Business to show affection for me at the diner? Do you know how great the food he makes for me taste? Everything is just a little better, a little sweeter and a little more special when there’s a touch of Greek!
He is so happy these days. He has so much energy. He laughs so much. He is goofing around with his employees. He is taking time to do things for himself. He is optimistic. He is just happy and it’s so amazing to see someone you love happy. His newfound sense of self is infectious! We had a rough couple of weeks where he was withdrawn and well, downright depress. It’s OK now. We got through it and everything is going to be OK…nah, it’s going to be amazing. This week, I got a glimpse how brilliant life with him can be and honey, I ain’t going nowhere! With me and him, the only way is up and I am so optimistic about me, him and us!
