cleaner air, rather clearer

well, no need to get me started, because they no longer exist within my realm of experience...
oh, an explanation you demand...
well, I have a friend who was promised to be engaged and then (very shortly thereafter) was indeed engaged...which, to my understanding requires a change of hands posessing the ring...and I'm not sure what else. I can't seem to get an answer that satisfies through the gushings of a girl in love.
Ah, I remember that, says the old married in me...
well, you should, since you still tend to gush and get all weak-in-the-knees, says the newlywed in me...
well,that about sums it up--the marriage, i mean--vacillating between the everyday-ness of living with someone you've dying to live with for 3 years...and the exitement of well, actually living with the person.
All in all, it's not very exciting in that butterflies-in-the-stomach, can't-believe-it's-true sense. It's more "oh, look, you're here...and yep, still here...hmmm, will you be here tomorrow and next month and after I feel old and tired? oh really, yes? hmmm...well, okay, i'm okay with that....just put the toilet seat down, at least at night, okay?" (clichéd, yes, but that makes it no less important at 3am in the dark)
and i don't say this to complain or to over-share...it's more to clear the air...since it seems so many people are looking foward to it and striving towards it and generally whipping themselves into an exitement that is sure to be dissapointed.
wow, just call me debby downer (wah wah)
But a happy one at that...
