This is my wife and beloved Melissa:
This is my wife and beloved Melissa:
She's pretty great. And she straight-up rocks that Minnie Mouse jacket.
Today, she turns [redacted] years old. This is something of an 'ode to a happy birthday' for her.
Melissa is the yin to my yang, and nowhere is there more evidence of that than in our living under one roof. I am the laid-back type that operates under the 'take it as it comes' philosophy. But, even before the current state of things related to COVID-19, Melissa has always been the extremely cautious type. The way things are now, she's the one that wants to wipe-down anything that will be entering our house.
No joke. She has been using alcohol wipes to cleanse groceries before we put them away.
But that's okay, because she just wants to protect the ones that she loves. And she's got a lot of love to give.
It's for that reason (and so many, many more!) there is nobody on the planet that I'd rather be cooped-up with in our current coronavirus-inspired isolation. Every day brings a sunshine-filled start, a lunchtime walk with Molly Weasley, and a happy-hour that is like no other.
Happy birthday to my loving, quirky, caring, parent extraordinaire, student-centered, Disnified, and loving partner! (...and yes. "Loving" appeared twice in that list because she's got so much love to give.) When this 'keep-your-ass-away-from-everyone-who-doesn't-live-in-your-house' time ends, I vow to take you out to a lovely dinner and celebrate the annual reminder of just how awesome you are.
But for tonight, you'll have to settle for home-made lasagna and a cake that your daughter baked and decorated.
