Yeah, this shit’s from February. I am never gonna catch up, y’all.

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are roped together, climbing up a mountain. Mrs Bugg is in the lead, holding onto the handle of the pickaxe she’s using to assist their climb, while Mr Bugg is waving happily.

The text reads: “The buggs decided to climb the mountain you have a view of. Then if you get sad you can look at the mountain and know they have set up surveillance there to watch you … in 3D.”

Y’know, bad day or good day, both sides of this note would make me smile.

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are leaping joyously into the air. Mrs Bugg is clicking her booted heels.

The text reads: “WOOT”

Where the hell was I? Wish I could remember.

On the plus side, I guess I’m back, so yay?

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are holding hands, smiling and waving. They appear quite pleased.

The text reads: “The buggs missed you this weekend and are happy you are back.”

I love any and all buggs I get, even the simple ones.

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are holding hands, smiling and waving. They are simple buggs because Loki was feeling under the weather, and therefore lacked the energy for a bigger effort.

The text reads: “Hand holding buggs to hold you over.”

Fun fact: Loki’s and my first kiss, lo these many years ago, was upon a lifeguard tower at Corona Del Mar — the bit facing Newport Harbor — in a cove that was used to film bits of Gilligan’s Island.

Weird fact: Several years earlier, on a whale watch boat that sailed from Newport, I took a picture of the very lifeguard tower. SPOOKY.

Anyway. There was a girl obstinately reading on the tower the day we were there, and I refused to let Loki and/or Doug roust her so we could re-enact the moment.

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are sitting atop a lifeguard tower. Their arms are around each other and they are kissing enthusiastically. A flag flutters from the lifeguard tower as the ocean ripples in the background.

The text reads: “Buggs kissing on a lifeguard tower. As it should be.”

That’s not nothing. I make no secret of my love for hand-holding buggs.

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are smiling, holding hands and waving.

The text reads: “We got nothing today except buggs holding hands.”

No reason is required.

Transcript:

The Buggs are holding hands and smiling. Mr Bugg’s free hand is over his heart, while Mrs Bugg’s free hand is pressed to her lips.

The text reads: “Just happy buggs … cuz … just cuz.”

Basically, any excuse to go raiding, is what happened here.

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg stand on either side of a huge pile of gift-wrapped presents. They are each holding one in the air, smiling hugely.

The text reads: “Then they went out and liberated things for you anyway.”

Awww, thank you, Buggs!

Transcript:

The Buggs have each wrapped themselves around the middle with a wide, festive ribbon, which is tied into a bow at their waists. They are both smiling and raising their arms in delight.

The text reads: “The Buggs didn’t know what to steal for you for your birthday, so they wrapped themselves as presents.”

I think this sounds like a stellar way to spend time!

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are facing each other, holding hands, their lips puckered. They are about to go in for a kiss.

The text reads: “Nothing happened in Bugg history, so the buggs thought they would kiss a lot.”

I know Mrs Bugg’s probably just tilting her head to lean in towards Mr Bugg, but I’m not gonna lie — my first thought was “Oh, no, I hope she’s not having a stroke!”

Look, shut up. I’m a worrier, ok?

Transcript:

The Buggs are holding hands, smiling and waving. Mrs Bugg is totally not having a stroke, swear to gods.

The text reads: “Just Buggs.”

Because a day without buggs is like a day without sunshine … and I live in the desert; I know from sunshine, y’all.

Transcript:

The Buggs are smiling happily and waving with both arms.

The text reads: “Decembugg 24, 2013: Nothing good happened except the Buggs got to be here with you.”

Because one always wants one’s loved ones to love one another, am I right?

Transcript:

Mr Bugg is standing next to a table filled with girl buggs: Mrs Bugg and two other buggs, all talking away, smiling and gesturing. Mr Bugg looks a little shocked.

The text reads: “Mr Bugg is very happy his old friends loved Mrs Bugg … and she loved them, too.”

YOU GUYS. How adorable is that? I am dead from cute.

Transcript:

Mrs Bugg is down on one knee in front of Mr Bugg, who has a hand to his mouth in utter and complete shock, and this is because Mrs Bugg is holding out to him a sparkly ring in a ring box.

The text reads: “Decembugg 16, 2013: The buggs decide to renew their vows.”
