bliss

warning: superfluous gushing contained herein. spent 2 magickal weekends with the woman of my dreams.. in complete bliss....well, minus the sunburn and nausea. last weekend, we cocooned ourselves away in long beach. let's see..amenities included: breakfast in bed, massage and scrub at la dolce vita,followed by a trip to "naples" c/o gondola getaways.



she is simply breathtaking...never knew i was capable of feeling this much love, ecstatic happiness, thrilling excitement, joy, and desire for another person. avoiding trite cliches is rather impossible at this point. i'm speechless... giddy.... mystified.

and, this weekend my amazing girlfriend treated me to the most luxurious facial in one of the most delcious spas in la. I highly recommend le petite retreat. From the moment we entered the spa, slipped on the softest robes i've ever worn, i felt whisked away to another dimension....an oasis buzzing with such soothing, relaxing, rejuvenating energy. it was absolutely lovely and i could've stayed for hours.

finished off the holiday with a trip to her sister's for the neice's sweet 16/beach getaway....in love with the family...her nephews are the most adorable munchkins ever. they are so excited by life...nice to be reminded to look at the world through their eyes. only one problem...apparently i seem to think i'm as resilient as i was as a kid and decided i didn't need sunblock... 5.5 hrs of direct sun on anyone, no matter how dark, and they're going to need a little protection... i did finally apply after a couple hours.. guess i'm still stuck in some adolescent phase believing i'm beyond harm. Well, now i have sun stroke.. or some other such ailment where i'm nauseated every couple hours. luckily, the lovely tee took care of me with oatmeal baths and aloe treatments. ;-)
