Oh, the long distance

Angie drove to Chico, and I'm here in Portland all alone. Lonely. Before she left, she hid some special little note cards reminding me to do certain things. Like in the fridge it says, "Remember to eat your salad and fruit! And drink plenty of water!" Then the little tomato in the corner says, "Yeah!! Or I'll turn you into Mark-sauce!"

In the bathroom cabinet it says, "Make sure to brush 'em good!" Then, "Happy birthday Mr. Dinosaur!" on the side.

The best one was left in the pantry. That one said, "Mouths are for eating, but they're also for kissing. That was lame. Sorry."

So you see, I have little hidden Angie treasures all over the house for when I get lonely.

The only contact throughout the day is that we get to text each other.Here's what they sound like:

Angie: That's it. We r going to write more songs. and I'm taking singing lessons and buying a bass.

Me: That's it!

Angie: I want to perform with you.

Mark: What makes you say that?

Angie: Just dreamin. And thinkin.

Mark: Oh I love you.

Angie: Oh. Slurp.

(LATER)

Angie: I miss my husband who i love terribly. Do you think I should let him know? Or maybe I should make him think I'm getting along fine without him. Which tactic will make him pay more attention to me?

Angie: Chihuahua!!!!!

Mark: Ruff!!!!! Gimme 30 min

Mark: Oh my honey with love and spice.
You make my heart feel so nice.
I work so hard for your delight.
Then wait until the time is right,
To call my sweetheart where is she?
Too busy for the likes of me.
So to the pantry quick I go.
To find my honey's lips you know.
Then kiss kiss kiss, and one tight squeeze
Please call me back. Please call me. PLEASE!!!!

Angie: in movie

Mark: My poem is better than a movie i think! No?

Angie: Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
