It all adds up

10-5-11

Today, I am a number.

32.

I am

5.6 X 235 = 32.

I remember one of my ex-numbers

27

 and we were good together…

until it left me for someone else.

It’s sorta been downhill from there.

But if I add in

+that I have 3 healthy and hilarious kiddunks

+1 gorgeous partner in crime, with a killer dimple

+1 house with a view and 1/2 acre of woods

+1 car with 4-wheel drive

+and now 4 new tires

-that cost $470 bucks (gah!)

+and a bundle of good friends

+and 2 parents

+2 brothers

+2 nephews, 1 neice

it all adds up

to a pretty decent existence

on this molten and crusty earth.

Today I am a number:

32.

Still, I’d much rather be the words,

Sarah was here,

And leave the cold, distant binary language to the gods.  :)
