Love You Wouldn't Understand

This is the last thing on EARTH I should be doing right now. Really. If there were ever a compiled list in the universe of things I should be doing at this very moment, writing a blog, especially this blog, would be at the end of it.

But here I am. Defying lists of destiny. And here you are reading it. I think that's pretty significant. Glorious really.

So... to start.... I have to remind the 80's kids out there of this poster/shirt/picture/wherever else we saw it:

*Overwhelmed....in case you wondered.

Anyway, I was editing a thousand pictures on Don's desktop today... most of the time in utter intense creative silence... and the thought popped into my head that I wanted to listen to music. I opened iTunes looking for a good playlist, Don always compiles great playlists, that would exactly contradict the overwhelmed mood I was in. The playlist that was highlighted was a new one. It was entitled "Soundtrack of Don". I couldn't help but smile a lot when I read that. Of course I HAD to listen to it.

The first song on the list was by Owl City. A band I recently introduced him to. The song title was "Fuzzy Blue Lights". (It's the song in the upper right corner if you want to hear it. His whole playlist is!) It's actually what prompted this impromptu "should never have been written" post. Actually, it was *smug *hopeful and *lovestruck that did it. (Thanks guys)

My boyfriend's adorable!

The song started playing, it fits him perfectly, our entire 4 year life together did a flash in my mind, and I had one of those "don't know how it's possible but now I love you more" moments.

I wish *choked up and *caught off guard graced the picture above... cuz that's how my jam session ended. The last song on his list was "Everything's Right" by Matt Wertz. If you haven't ever heard it... do. (upper right hand corner) Hearing it in those circumstances shook me from my little complacent corner and slid a knowing smile on my face. I love Don, I love my life, I love my life with Don in it, and everything couldn't be... more right.

Point your fingers.
Scoff.
Laugh at me.

Whatever.
:)

And THEN, just when you thought it was over.... I caught glimpse of the playlist just below "Soundtrack of Don" to see.... "Soundtrack of Mallie".

There was only one song in it.
"Inevitable" by Anberlin
