They belong to this delectable creature:
His name is Joey. He and I’ve been together for a little while now, and I’m completely smitten. He’s such a good person, with a wonderful heart and a perfect soul. He’s kind and respectful and affectionate and funny and sensitive and laid back. He gives the best hugs, those lips are incredibly soft, and when he touches me my heart leaps into my throat. I’m trying to convince him to grow a beard because I swear he looks like a younger skinny Gerard Butler and a sista’s trying to act out some King Leonidas fantasies but he’s protesting. Maybe I can snatch his razor out of his bag before he leaves the country for a couple of months on whatever kayaking expedition is next.
He reads my blog and thinks I have a knack for this writing thing. He has no children, has never wanted any children and will never want any children (thank God) yet completely appreciates my devotion to my daughters. He says it’s just another thing he loves about me. They haven’t met him yet – it’s too soon – but I know that when I do introduce them to each other, they’ll all fall in love. We talk about everything and even when we disagree, it doesn’t matter because we usually can see each others’ point of view. I do have some things I need to work on him about, such as his declaration that if we get married our house cannot contain any Apple products or dogs, and his refusal to listen to Taylor Hicks even once or admit that Daft Punk is the best electronica act of all time, but these things take time.
He makes me happy, and that’s the most wonderful thing of all.
I think I’ll keep him.
Oh, and he wasn’t really sleeping:
(You can see more of him here, but not as much as you could if we were contacts on Flickr. It’s ok, I like to look at him too.)

Well. He’s pretty gorgeous. And I too am a sucker for nice lips.
Also? High five on the making you happy. ;)
Oh hell yes! Awesome. Glad he makes you happy. I’m wishing you luck on those fantasies, having them myself but no look alike for me..
So glad to hear you’re happy!

Fucking finally. Yo, Joey. Keep making her happy or I’ll have to punch you in the ankle or something. Also, send her postcards while you’re away. Like, daily. Even if she tells you she doesn’t want them. She’s lying. She does that.

So happy for you. SO happy.
And Joey. I throw a much harder punch then ZJ and I am a lefty. I have a gigantic diamond ring on my left hand, yo. Just sayin. Keep doing what you are doing. XO
Oh. and I am a contact. And I too like looking. :)
Yep – he’s hot. :)
And I gotta agree with him on Taylor Hicks. Everything else, you are right.
Duh.
xoxoxo
:) You certainly sound happy…
What a cutie! Congrats on finding one to make you happy.
My little kayaker has had to hang up his boat for work lately. You’ll have to let me know where the good rivers are around here!
Aww… Maria smitten. Who’d have thunk it? :)
Yeah, he’s not bad.. Not bad in the slightest! :) He seems to be making you happy, so that makes him even better!
I do agree with him on the Taylor Hicks part; I refuse to listen as well.. :P
xx
I’m happy for you, my dear. The fact that he’s hot is an added bonus.
I’m so glad you’re happy!! It makes ME happy! Why? I don’t fucking know but I’m sitting here smiling like a big dumbass.
And that last pic? TOTALLY Gerard Jr.
Wait a sec while I wipe the drool off my keyboard…uhm, yeah, your Joey is H.O.T.
So Maria’s been bit by the love bug, I’m so happy for you!
I’m so happy for you.
And you already know my opinion on his yum factor so….
I’m so happy for you, Maria. Most especially because I know you won’t lose you. (And he’s hot!)
I’m happy that you’re happy :)
I dont like looking at him as much as I like his cats.
Welcome to the blogging family Joey. (Officially anyways.)
I am so, so happy for you. Also… HAWT.
First things first. Joey? Hawt. Like ‘I’m afraid to go look at that lips photo again’ kind of hawt!
But bigger than that first thing? That he makes you happy and swooney. The world’s a cooler place when someone can make you do that.
not nearly as gorgeous as you, but since I am not sleeping with him, I guess it’s okay. : ) Happy to hear you are happy, though.
I love the sound of this Maria.
I have been SO out of touch lately, and I was so excited to see Joey when I re-entered the blog world today. Yay for you! He sounds awesome. Just take it S-L-O-W-L-Y, girl!
My hubby’s out of town, so I can’t wait to put the kids to bed and catch up on your life.
And I had to google Taylor Hicks so no opinion here.
I’m glad YOU like white boys. I don’t prefer them :/
lol.
No Apples? Not even an iPhone?
I don’t know about this one…

He’s adorable. Don’t worry about the Apple thing. We’ll bring him over to the dark side. Congrats girl, you deserve it.
