Monday at the Drinko

So, I'm at the library and you are in Hawaii. Don't worry. Karma will get you. You are having all the good and I'm pretty sure since you are so awesome the good will always be around. Darn Karma doesn't work if you're already awesome and remain so throughout life. I need to be more like you. Anyhow. I hope you are having a beautiful wonderful glorious time on the islands. I have never been but my parents said it is so beautiful and I need to go, if only for the huge ass turtles. I know if Gabe and I went to Hawaii all he would do is chase animals around. It's his favorite past time. That gives me an idea. Make a list of things Gabe loves. this way you will learn more about him.

1. Animals and catching them. If not catching them then chasing them around until they threaten to bite him.

2. Ice cream. Really anything dairy. He lives for dairy. His one dream in life is to open a creamery and call it "The Cream Dream". Notice the innuendo.

3. Biff, his lovely wiener. He loves her more than anyone or anything. Order of girls he loves goes as follows - 1. Biff 2. Sammy, his other dog that lives at his parents house. 3. Marge, grandma. 4. Eryn. True story and I am completely okay with it.

4. Sci-Fi novels. He is way into sci-fi. What a geek.

5. PBS and Smithsonian magazine. Also Reader's Digest.

6. School. He is such a schoolie. It's all he wants to do in life.

7. David Bowie and Queen and Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell and Bruce Springsteen and ELO and Tom Petty, ETC. We love old skool.

8. Cold weather. This is where we disagree. I like cold weather but not a lot of it and after living in WV and it getting so wet and cold for so long I am ready for sunshine and zero humidity.

9.Goodwill clothing. Gabe sees no reason in buying new clothes, or anything really new for that matter. His one rule for goodwill is never buy underwear or shoes there. That seems reasonable.

10. Dancing around our apartment. He dances to our albums and makes dinner. It's pretty hilarious most of the time.

11. Asian movies. Always with the asian movies at Blockbuster. I like 'em too but not every time. Variety is the spice of life.

12. Traveling. He loves it loves it loves it. He wishes he could get a degree in anthropology as well.

13. Being completely responsible and practical. Obviously another difference of ours.

14. Cora. He likes her a lot because he says she responds to him as the regular adult he is. He thinks she is really cool for a baby. He likes to talk with her as if she were 45.

15. Dairy Queen and hot dogs and milkshakes. I know this technically fits under the dairy entry but I cannot stress to you how much this guy loves dairy. He lives for it, literally.

AND SUSHI!


Let's just make number 15 FOOD.

and there you have it.

Love you Marie!
