me and the punkin

first, some background. when my lovely parents came to visit me last october for general conference weekend (approximately the 5-8 of october), they bought me a pumpkin in the spirit of halloween and all things fall. generous, yes? yes. anyway, as time went on and the pumpkin maintained a more permanent position on our kitchen table, i decided to spice things up a little. so naturally i drew a face on the pumpkin with a sharpie, and from then on she became (first of all a she) Silvia Trevors Cunningham. (Trevors is her maiden name of course.)
Silvia Trevors Cunningham and i have had a wonderful 5 months together. she's held up like a champ- not even a hint of mushiness, she's still as firm and pumpkin-y as the day she came into my life that wonderful day last october. obviously, this period of happiness deserves to be recognized. through thick and thin, Silvia Trevors Cunningham has been there for me, always waiting on the kitchen table to lend a pumpkin ear whenever it's needed.

So here's to you Silvia- may our time together continue to be unnaturally lengthened by whatever freak of nature fertilizer the farmer used to grow you.

Sooooo.. where's her husband been all this time, are they separated? Maybe Silvia needs less table time and more marriage counseling. Maybe it's time you lend the listening ear.

she's a widow. it involved a couple hoodlums on halloween and a sidewalk. too painful to talk about really.
