The little things...

[lunamea]

This thread took a different turn than I was expecting lol. I thought you guys were going to post specifics, like "today my SO did blank!" ... but since it's more generalized, I would like to join in that too!

I'll go with the specific, too, because I think it's just an awesome idea for building a thread that will grow into a lot of memories that make us happy and make us remember to hang in there and stay strong if we're feeling down at any one moment.

Okay, so, a few days ago, I was making tiramisu with my hubby... meaning, we were on the phone, I told him what to do and he did it. I've made tiramisu a thousand times before, but I had the recipe in front of me as well. As I thought I knew it by heart, though, I didn't really read it as I gave him directions. So, after he finished, he asks "what do I do with the eggwhites now?" :O!!! I had forgotten to tell him to put them into the cream!! I felt so bad, because he had to take everything apart again (literally - like taking the ladyfingers from the cream and adding the eggwhites to the cream and then putting everything into the pan again *yuck*), but he didn't mind at all! He just laughed and thought it was funny that I had the recipe in front of me but didn't read it!! As stupid as that sounds, that totally made my day, if not week! I'm sure that I would've been angry in his position, but he was so laid back about it, it was wonderful.

Garnet frequently takes a webcam picture of herself and emails it to me before going off to work. Waking up to this is one of the happiest things to wake up to.

Wait though. I am generally trying to show you something... I don't just send you pictures of my face for no reason! :O I'm glad you like them though, I didn't realize that you even did lol.

My SO is very good about handling my panic attacks, especially when I get paranoid and ask over and over if he's mad at me. He never says a word, he doesn't try to reason and make it worse, he just puts up with it. Even when I'm paranoid and shaky for no reason. My own parents don't even handle my panicking that well. =P

[quince]

I like how he always take a few moments on his breeaks to send a text my way, and how he does not mind me sending back something silly

[Chelsea&Kris]

Kris is just silly :P I love it when he's silly, though. He'll say random things to make me smile (especially if I'm on webcam) and he'll constnatly say 'I love you' when there's even the slightest pause in conversation. I think the biggest thing that makes me smile though is the way he deals with my depression. I can talk to him about anything and everything and he tries to make me feel better instead of just saying things like 'yeah' and 'I understand'. He makes me laugh when I don't even want to smile.

Today's little thing... Every saturday Obi is out of town until the early hours of sunday and I couldn't go with him today because I had to work. I have no friends I can hang out with and havn't been paid yet so I'm stranded at home. To ease this for me, Obi recorded himself reading me a chapter of the book he is reading to me before he left ^^. It made me smile!

Today's little thing... He IMd me to say good night, even though we'd not been talking due to the power outage.

He didn't really do this for me or to make me happy, but his password is my name. That just like made my week when I found that out.

I know what you mean! Tanja used my middle name as one of her passwords a few months back too

[Julia]

one of the things my SO does is talk to me. i know it sounds odd, but it means the world.

[Snowy.Winter]

I'm happy because my other half's coming on Friday.
And I've booked a table in a nice restaurant for Valentine's Day (:

[Rach321]

I'm happy because my boyfriend talked to me last night and said "I love you."

We say it multiple times a day, but this time it wasn't just part of our normal way of saying goodbye. This is pretty much what we always say when one of us puts down the phone: "Well, I'd better get going, Love you... Bisous! (kisses in French) Ciao!"

I could tell it really came from his heart... I melted a little right there...

[Elena]

I love how when I go visit, he's so attentive and caring, and always asking 'do you need anything?' It can get old after a while, but it's still so sweet! And I love that he's so excited and curious about the anniversary gift I'm sending him, it's so cute how he's trying to get me to tell him what it is (with no luck, of course)!

[Taija]

He just said this a while ago:

[20:31:32] Jesse: I ate that whole apple pie because it reminded me of yoooou
[20:31:35] Jesse: I don't even like apple pie

It really made me go aww. He's remembering the time when we went to a restaurant together and I ate the best motherfucking apple pie on the planet.

[BJL_Sweetheart1109]

Love this!

Now and then I get a call in the middle of the day. Doesn't happen often since I'm in class and he works. But I'll usually answer and he says, "He baby I was just calling bc I was thinking about you." awwww.... (or after I sent cookies to him. he called and when i asked what he was doing he said "Nothing just sitting here watching tv, eating your cookies, and thinking about you.")

Or those random texts that say 'i love you.' or 'hey sexy' or 'miss you' just any random text, totally turns my day around.
