my nose hurts like there's a big booger in there but i find none.  it's quite annoying.  i don't get the satisfaction of finding it & pulling it out.  at first i was picking my nose with a finger that had a hangnail on it... so then my finger hurt too.  cut the hangnail, used a different finger and still no big booger.  what a let-down.

i made a huge pot of chili on sunday so i then ate & snacked on chili for 3 days.  i am feeling the gaseous consequences too.  now, the occasional noisy fart is fun for all, right?  who doesn't like to lay in bed & see how loud you can make it?  it's even more fun when it makes the cats look at you like you're rude.  but the downside is when you just have a little pressure in your gut & can't make it come out.  that's not fun for anyone.

this brings me to my boyfriend, randy.  why?  why do the subjects of nose-picking and expelling noxious gas bring me to the man of my dreams?  well... first, it's part of WHY he's the man of my dreams.  we can talk about anything & everything and not be embarrassed (more often we find it pretty dern funny).  also, when i told him i was making chili, he told me i'd be fartin' up a storm.  this led to a discussion about how i've never farted in front of another person (audibly, anyway) and he assures me that he will break me of that.  apparently, he wants me to one day just come up & let one go right at him.  now THAT'S closeness, right?    he guarantees that i will one day feel comfortable enough with him that i will think nothing of it.  and we are well on our way.  i feel more comfortable with him than i've felt with anyone before.  it's mush & cheese & cliche & will make a good number of people want to barf but he makes me totatally beleive that we all have another half or split-apart out there.  and i feel so at home with randy that i know he's mine.

so, anyway, if i keep writing, this post is gonna be hella long so i think i shall save the story of randy & candy (too freakin' cute, right? )  til tomorrow.  i know the suspense is killing you.
