This is a more general category, it more than likely will be something that I am personally attached to or affected by.
There are very few situations where I question my thoughts and/or actions. I’m spot-on or at the very least proficient in just about everything I do – until Him. Sure, we started out flawlessly; however, it was easy – he was so very communicative, with overflowing texts and verbal professions …
It would be the most incredible occurrence in life; however, the timing is completely wrong. How can something so wonderful be considered so very wrong? Well, there are many things in this life that if they would have happened in another time or place – they would be celebrated, announced …
Last night I spent a great deal of time speaking with a very handsome man. I had wondered if he had interest or if he was seeking conversation with someone other than his travel mate. We spoke of past relationships, where we are now, the B-52’s and photography. It was …
Recently someone told me that our relationship was ‘temporary’. I had to do everything I could to remain calm; however, after I had that not always taken ‘time-to-think’…. I realized how true that was. Life has a way of showing us just how ‘expendable’ we are. We all know that …
I’m still furious that the flags were NOT lowered and when I am furious – I write, here’s another CountryClaire original. I did not know these heroes and just recently learned their names For they never sought the glory nor hungered for this fame Each name represents a tragedy that …
In watching Blue Bloods I heard these words spoken, shortly after a Detective vowed to find the person responsible for the crime. “Actions triumph words.” This rings so true in my personal relationship simply because I have watched for so many ‘signs’; however, they never came. Yet, I had to …
On Thanksgiving 2014 in the wake of the Darren Wilson Grand Jury decision, rioting has ensued across the country. I’ve chosen to watch The History Channel’s series; The Men Who Built America vs. news reports of those who choose to ‘burn this bitch down’. It’s puzzling to me that anyone would participate …
Some love comes in an instant, whereas, other love comes in time. I’m living a fairy tale, there are no swords, or castles – it’s the 2 of us, together enjoying one another with zero drama. We watch a few couples in the neighborhood endure police interaction, other suitors and …
These words, I will never say; however, I love the song (and her mink wrap). Cool or bitter cold nights are good and bad; however, I will leave the reasons out for now. I value the bitter winter for it allows the ground to rest, the trees to shed a few …
I do not want to put too much pressure on my current situation; however, after long last, I’ve disconnected myself from the club. I truly believe that for many years, I’ve had a membership to the Ass of the Month Club and NO, this is not some porn site… In …
In each dream there’s always that moment when you realize that you may not be dreaming at all… it’s real! The horse has gone to pasture and the armor is tucked away; however, your Knight is still shining. Does it really need to be forever or can you just revel …
It could be my Libra energy that inherently forces me to seek balance in all that I do; however, I have to think that some of that is simply practical thinking. Lately I have had an exciting addition in my life… one that I am very happy and elated about! …
While most of my posts have been around dating, relationships and disasters… I need to take a step back to write on another subject. Many of you know that I have a very special place in my heart for Marines. I respect and admire ALL branches of the military; however, …
His smile…I recall a time as I drove up, he smiled. It wasn’t huge, it was genuine and true – just as he is. Watching him think before he speaks or as he is recalling something… his words have meaning. Despite success, he’s humble – no need for false bravado! …
It’s near impossible for a woman to rely on another without looking needy. It goes without saying that we, as people need one another in different capacities; however, let’s really look at this: When getting to know someone you have that excitement period that literally has no time limit; however, …
Growing up I pretty much had to have whatever I wanted – right then. Waiting was not in my repertoire. I had many options, avenues & adventures and I can assure you that whatever I wanted to do – I did or was in the midst of doing. It was …
It has been ages since I’ve made the time to post and while I would love to say that I’ve been on some lavish cruise, the truth of the matter is… I simply have not had much to write about. Sure, there have been experiences; however, none worth sharing. There …
All kidding aside I’ve taken a moment or many to think about where I am and why it is that on most weekends I am spending time at home, alone with my puppies. Yes, I want to share special moments with one person; however, I find that I desire that …
Last night I went to a friend’s house to keep me from going elsewhere. When I arrived she had to leave for a while and so there I was with 3 High School Freshmen Girls. Oh, there was screaming, shrieking and laughter…for what? I have no idea; however, it was …
…my electronic cigarette! While in Chicago this past November my friend JJ, no not, Jimmy Walker…took me to CigNot. She highly recommended the electronic cigarette. I had thought about quitting; however, each attempt was, well, unsuccessful. She was not pushy; however, she knew how wonderful this was and she knew …
Mr. Cute and I have been talking recently; however, days past by without a call or text and in my new approach, I was not driving the ship. Yet, I felt that I had every right to reach out, check-in – see what, if anything was up. So I did. …
Many romantics will recall this line in the movie “You’ve Got Mail” – this is still a dream of mine. Yes, I have him in mind; however, he has yet to come forward in that particular light again. I could ‘force’ it, yes, as I have done in past; however, …
It has become abundantly apparent that this blog was originally created to vent my dating experiences; however, based on recent experiences it has become clear that as I move from the dates of chaos, I have less to write about. I definitely want to scream from the mountain tops as …
I am sure there will be a ton of posts launching at 12:01 1 January 2013, therefore I may as well put my post in the ring. This will be a short one as I begin the New Year! I am welcoming the new year at home, by myself. I …
It’s hard to put into words what has recently come to light; however, a blog is the perfect place in which to try. Although the word serious can take on many levels of interpretation, the use of the word in regard to personal relationships is what I am writing about …
It had been on my mind; however, was it the person or the action that caused me angst? When I started to go into it… it became evident that I was not looking at the person, I was recalling the action of another. Shame on me! I try to keep …
In a week he will be gone and although I know he will return… I am starting to feel a little sad. I know that I have a busy month ahead of me; however, in just a few short months.. he’s become the one that I want to go to …
This morning while getting ready I caught a few minutes of The Recruit with Al Pacino…more or less the movie is about the training of CIA Agents and the twists and turns are constant. First you think that Layla really did get cut from the school only to realize that it was …
In the movie Secretariat… Penny’s father gives her some solid advice…. when she brought ‘Big Red’ to see her Father, she spoke about how strong he was. Her Father with aged hands stroked the nose of this beautiful creature and in a soft voice he said the following….. Let him …
It’s never easy when you meet someone new to really ‘know’ what it is that they are thinking. Yes, you can ask; however, there are certain situations in which that state of unknown is sort of appealing. I’ve never been one to play hard to get or coy, when it …
In my profile I have posted that I am interested in meeting Caucasian males… I do not have a laundry list of requirements; however, that’s a big one. I’ve recently received a slew of emails from Black Men telling me how disappointed they are… or that some women have avoided …
One of the funniest things about meeting new people is ‘thinking’ that you have your preference list all thought out; however, there’s always the possibility that you meet someone where you have absolutely nothing in common. Sure, you can share a few likes i.e. chili, political view and being left-handed, …
I’ll see him when he gets out of jail! Who knew that someone I could feel so connected to would be in jail? We’ve spent countless hours on the phone and with each call it is more exciting than the last! In many ways I feel as if I’ve known …
It’s no secret that Mr. Cute has positioned himself in the No Way category; however, the audacity of this person is simply comical. I recently made a request for the rest of my ‘stuff’ and his reply was to provide a list. Now, that would make perfect sense if we …
The movie The Wedding Singer was funny; however, not necessarily my favorite, YET, there’s a classic line that recent events has played over and over in my head… It was after Robby was stood up at the altar… his girlfriend stated that she could not marry him because he was …
With school starts fast approaching I sort of feel like I’ve got a brand-new box of crayons… with my new approach to dating; however, this latest venture has proven to be, well – dismal, at best. I’m keeping my head up and my options open, yet, I had a very …
If dating was setup like the Girl Scouts….I would have recently earned my WTF Were You Thinking Badge! I would have had it a few days ago; however, my recent text exchange with Mr. Cute solidified it. For moments, OK, days I toiled with his comment… We would have been …
As we end the month of July… it became abundantly clear to me… I need to separate from Mr. Cute… I sent the text again and this time low & behold I received a reply… and it was a fueled one too… he had finally shared a few pieces of …

Truth be told, I left a few things at Mr. Cute’s… as I was removing most of my stuff to just give him a little room; however, it’s been 2 weeks and a day since we’ve spoken and I’ve come to terms with his unique way of saying he’s done. This was …
A dear friend of mine recently read my ‘cards’ and the primary theme was that in order for me to get out of the ‘rut’ I am in, that I needed to do something for myself. It did not have to be a big thing, nor did it require tons …

I’ve been going through the process… can’t really call it a break-up process, because the crux of not talking with one another makes it near impossible to know what is really going on. This forces one to just decide on their own… not an ideal situation, but, since we are …

Life has a way of working out, despite the pain you feel I thought that I had met the one, in truth he wasn’t real He had the right outer core and there were some nuggets held within But, when faced with certain situations, he held it all close in …

I have someone that I know who is the undisputed Voice Mail Queen… this may be an incorrect title; however, she is quite creative. Perhaps Voice Mail Sniper would be a more fitting title; however, Queen has such an elegant ring to it! Voice mail is a huge step-up from …

If you’ve ever had a few minutes, I strongly encourage you to check out the Personals Section on Craigslist NOT TO FIND YOUR MATE… I came across these out of curiosity as I was looking for a lawnmower… WOW! If you ever wondered where the Serial Killers of the World …
As a very young person when Footloose came out.. this song really called to me. I, like my friends would sing it to the nth degree; however, now I find myself really living each and every word. I am not necessarily holding out; however, in truth I want a hero… …
When someone passes on and leaves this earth… are they really gone? It is true that people who no longer breathe air in are in essence ‘gone’ yet, are they really? If you remember their laugh, how they made you feel, what they said and the way they were on …
How on earth could someone stick & stay so tightly to their position? Simple, they are aware of their boundaries. For over a week I’ve been blathering on about how Mr. Cute has stated: “I don’t want to talk.” He never truly wavered on this and any conversation was short …
I have a pretty good overall demeanor, most that have met me sense that I am independent, capable, intelligent and kind; however, it has been said more than once that they would never want to cross me. I say that because that is what I’ve been told and in truth, …
I took a stand, sort of….after 5 days of no-contact (our schedule was daily) I felt that I should collect my ‘stuff’ at Mr. Cute’s place. I decided to do it, so that I would not have the urge to get something I needed. He had said that he didn’t …
I’ve been the reader/follower of many relationship blogs… and I have learned some invaluable things… yet, what I have learned most is that there are more blogs about issues than about successes. I totally understand that someone else’s joy amidst your pain or confusion may be hard to stomach; however, …
This post is being written a few days in advance; however, it will be published on the title day! As I’ve gone through the very early part of this week… there’s been silence. It’s been difficult for me to endure; however, my writing has allowed me a little pause …
By now I should realize that all of the thinking, worrying and fear will inevitably be for nothing… irrespective of the outcome all of this time spent has absolutely no benefit. I am driving myself crazy and for what purpose… since I am keeping my things to myself, well, with …
Now, there’s a novel thought! For the past few days I have allowed an internal struggle in regard to Mr. Cute. I have intermittent thoughts; however, they are relatively constant. Feelings such as ‘what did I do?’, ‘how can I change this?’ and ‘will he ever call?’, yet, the one …
I will be the first one to admit that I have a cell phone and it provides me a lot of convenience; however, I will also say that by having a cell phone it ties me down to the expectation that I am always reachable. Irrespective of the ‘advances’ in …
Today, I had set out to do a number of things; however, what actually got completed was less than what I had planned; however, here’s the deal… I feel great! I was able to get home (finally) and hook-up my surround-sound system. I am on the hunt for the other …
We have not broken up; however, I have found myself in ‘giving him space’ mode… this time, he did not ask for it, yet, his treatment definitely warranted an out. I’ve been absolutely thrilled about this man because he is different, an against the grain type gent; however, one of his …
For many Friday signifies the end of the work week; however, let’s give it up to those that trudge on through what many of us consider the weekend! For me, it starts my time with Mr. Cute! We’ve been overly steady with our weekend time…. I get over to his …
In today’s world it appears that women insist on being independent; however, I think that it’s been taken a little too far. I’ve been guilty of this as well; however, no longer. I do need others and more importantly I want others in my life. I have my family that …
Depending on where you live you’ve probably encountered a Canada Goose…perhaps you’ve been on the receiving end of their all too well-known protective nature, but, irrespective of the interaction I am sure you know a little about them. Here’s what I admire most about the Canada Goose….they mate for life. Yes, …
I’ve learned a valuable lesson recently and I definitely know that it is something that some women know all too well; however, I would venture to guess at the number of blog posts that MOST women do not have a clue as to what I am going to share….. When …
There are moments in life when you find yourself doing something that you would not normally do; however, some of those things could be new experiences whereas others are things that you perceive as demeaning and/or simply wrong. I am not going to be too elusive here, yet, I will …
Depending on who you ask… I have been known to be a little tough or rough around the edges..again, depending on who you ask. I can also be one of the softest, most vulnerable people you’ll ever know…. Again, depending on who you ask. Yet, what most of you may …
I’ve written several posts that are either about or mention Mr. Cute; however, it should be said that although he has become a central subject in my writings.. his position in my life is as a part, not as a whole. I enjoy writing about various experiences of which he …
There’s always such a clamor to be first! In racing, no one ever says I want to be last. The focus has always been on #1 as we all know what #2 is. Yet, when it comes to matters of the heart… being first is rarely ever the goal. I know that …
In a recent discussion with my Beau I joked that I was jealous; however, in truth he’s never given me an ounce in which to worry or be truly jealous about. As always we had a wonderful conversation, filled with equal listening and sharing… I know, it’s getting pretty sappy …
Have you ever known someone SO crazy that you want to encase them in glass and sell them to the Guggenheim? I do! In fact I have 2 that I know of. The one is certifiable whereas the other one could with some assistance probably find their way back to Saneville; …
It would be all too easy to simply start this post with an explanation of the title…but, I will say that sometimes when you win, a chicken dinner is not your prize; however, when and if it is… enjoy it! We all show care in various ways.. if it was …
We always talk about the 3 little words; I love you; however, rarely do we ever speak of the 3 little words of most importance; I love me! As people we are raised to not bring attention to ourselves, to think of others and to never put ourselves higher than …
When I was growing up I heard the expression to never burn any bridges… at a young age, I thought – duh, that’s arson. But, now being older and perhaps a little wiser, I now understand what the expression means. You never want to burn a bridge on the off …
Have you ever wondered why some people stay together? In all honesty, it is never truly anyone’s business; however, at the same time, there are those moments in which you simply have to wonder. For the most part I keep my eyes on my own paper, I have enough on …
Birth Control has always caused me to wonder… although all drugs must list their potential side effects.. some of the most common side effects of birth control are the following: Weight Gain Acne Mood Swings If you were to combine these or even take them on their own… they do …
I would like to think that the choices I make are solid ones; however, there are instances in which I make a choice based on various other situations that inevitably blows up. OK, with less dramatic entrance, I will rephrase, a recent choice I made due to extenuating circumstances has …
The Golden Rule is to treat others as you would like to be treated; however, despite that statement’s overall meaning, there is a twist to it when it comes to relationships…. I believe that you should be respectful not because someone else has been to you, but, because that is …
I am not quite sure what has been going on lately; however, I simply do not feel well. I would love to attribute my ailment to the common cold and be done with it; however, that is not it. Ugh! The weather has been relatively calm; however, the humidity is …
Most things require some sort of collaborative event…. I’ve seen shirts that say: Plays well with others; however, never would I think to buy one for myself. I know that I play nice; however, at the same time as I age, I also know that I play strict. Never will …
I’ve been dealing with my ‘baby weight’ recently. I thought that since my ‘baby’ graduated from High School it was about time. Although my son was never a chore, there were times throughout his childhood where my energy to do much else that survive was slim to none. I carried …
It could be my Libra energy that inherently forces me to seek balance in all that I do; however, I have to think that some of that is simply practical thinking. Lately I have had an exciting addition in my life… one that I am very happy and elated about! …
It never ceases to amaze me how much a smile or sincere gesture can put me on Cloud 9! All too often the super-sizing of things appears to be what the world desires; however, I’ve always been impressed by little things. When someone holds a door open for you as …
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Yesterday I received a text notification and since it wasn’t Mr. Cute’s tone I did not consider it immediate; however, when I glanced over to see who had sent the message I must say that I was a bit shocked… it was Mr. Special… Remember him? I do, but, not …
I’ve had a few nicknames over the years, some that stuck for a period of time whereas others were specific to the person. I am finding that the word “Honey” brings a smile to my face like no other; however, it could be said by a thousand people, yet, ONLY …
That Whitesnake song immediately comes to mind as I write this post…. Is this love that I’m feeling? Is this the love that I’ve been searching for? Is this love or am I dreaming? This must be love ’cause it’s really got a hold on me A hold on me …
During a funeral the other day Linda Ellis’ poem The Dash was mentioned. Just a few words of the Orator’s mention were enough for me to retain the name of the poet as well as the poem. Once the funeral was over I looked this poem up on my phone. …
When we lose a loved one… where does the pain come from? Is it from the fact that they will no longer experience this or that OR is it because we will no longer experience time with them? In most cases I would venture to think it stems from the …
Recently I wrote a post in regard to Nosey Parkers and I was quite adamant about how against snooping I am; however, I must admit that I tripped up a little bit. Mr. Cute is anti-picture; however, I wanted to see if there was another picture that I could add …
I’ve written in past about how precious time can be; however, I think it’s worth mentioning again. As I plan to attend the funeral of a friend that has recently crossed over to the other side… I am reminded just how lucky I am to be here – today! I …
Driving into work today was its typical frustrating commute all 7.6 miles of it. Every morning I get on the highway and try to move left as quickly as possible. This morning was a little annoying as a Prius wanted to run parallel to me. Now, I had a bit of …
In a previous post I mentioned how happy I am to be in my 40’s versus my 20’s and I am sure that there are those happy to be 20 rather than 40; however, that’s the beauty twice as many years has brought me. Recently, I’ve met a ton of …
Ever been told to “Act like a Lady”? I’ve heard it a time or two… Yet, what does it truly entail? Is a curtsy involved? Should we dust off the white gloves and bonnet? Can you still be considered a lady if your professional dress involves Dickies or Carhartts? Just …
I like to think that I am a pretty smart cookie; however, there are moments in which I want to just step outside of my body and slap myself. Or perhaps replay the scene in Moonstruck with Cher… Hearing certain things can be unpleasant; however, the root of the unpleasantness …
I could be dating myself; however, who remembers the movie 9 1/2 Weeks? There was a scene where Mickey Rourke had left Kim Bassinger in his apartment, while he went out…. during his absence, he called her as she was going through his things… he asked her if she was …
All too often I’ve been told this, advised that, yet, for the most part I would continue on my own path. I felt that since it was my path that it should be at MY direction; however, my professional life has always been about learning, growing, improving and a lot …
Very Enthusiastic Type Ever Ready And Noble… Yet, we do not truly appreciate them when they return from serving our country. Say what you want; however, as a Nation we are kinder to illegal immigrants than we our to those that have risked or given their life for all of …
Last night while texting with a friend .. he said that he had a great day! I inquired what made it so great and he said: “I woke up!” How many of us really think about life that way? More often than not, we talk about what has caused us pain …
Confidence is a funny thing…. I have more than my share of it. I have taken great risks in various parts of my life, some have failed miserably whereas others panned out to a ‘t’ yet, when it comes to other people…. I am not going to say that my …
It should be nearly impossible not to like who you are…. I make no assumptions that I am perfect; however, I wake up each morning happy, excited and ready for just about anything that may come my way. I do this because the possibility of not waking up is always …
Anything new causes some sort of ‘adjustment’ period, whether it’s a new pair of jeans, a career or even a vehicle… there’s a period in which you are learning. For instance a new pair of jeans can be a rewarding or horrific experience, depending on the size. It’s not necessarily …
Throughout the years I had always loved dogs, but, apartment living simply did not allow the type of dog that I wanted. I wanted an English Mastiff, Newfoundland, Great Dane something along those lines.. until I met “Toke” – a brindle, pit bull chained to a tree. When I would …
I really enjoy writing this blog, I do. I have made some wonderful friends, opened myself up to whoever may come across and in truth have learned a great deal about who I am; however, I have no desire to write much about Mr. Cute here. I am finding myself …
Throughout my childhood I can remember family vacations to Breezy Point Resort… we would load up in the car and make the trip. Never did we experience a vacation like the Griswold’s; however, we still had our moments. I know that we stopped in Royalton, MN at Treasure City, I …
My blog post schedule is similar to that of airplane arrivals…. some are delayed, in other words, they were started and parked in the DRAFT area, whereas others are dead-on-balls-accurate (it’s an industry term, My Cousin Vinny)… yet, some posts are early, in other words they were premature thoughts, experiences …
I’ve thought a lot about 3 little words and the huge expectation that typically follows. I have said I love you to many people… My Parents, My Son, My Best Friend and never once do I wait and/or tap my finger for a reply. I already know that they love …
I have been keeping things a little on the hush-hush side about someone quite delightful…. as I’ve stated before this blog originated as an avenue where I could express myself… share what I choose and in some cases write for future review. Perhaps I’ve kept this person quiet simply because …
We Need To Talk… These 4 words strung together are typically indicative of the beginning of a drama-fest; however, to me, they are a statement… one that upholds my self-theory that women need to talk more than men. Every once in a while a poem comes to me.. although the …
Have you ever known a person that simply cannot pick up on when it’s time to leave? I am not just talking about your house… but a restaurant, a store or a state. There are certain people who prefer to stay in mid-moment rather than getting going. I have come …
Our Next Contestant Should Be Coming to the Stage Right Now….. In many ways I must say that my choice in potential suitors has greatly improved; however, at the same time I am coming to the conclusion that dating sites are predominantly for men that are simply not willing, able …
I’ve taken a moment to reread some of my posts on Mr. Special and I must admit that I was quite smitten with him, probably to the point of sickening; however, that is how I felt and in truth, there are still some lingering thoughts of him. My friends helped …
No, not what you’re thinking…. Somewhere in time the title above would not be said by an Independent Woman… for fear that someone, anyone would think that she was weak, needy or a loser; however, after some internal thinking… I am more than OK in saying this… and in truth …
I have been known to use the phrase; people may not remember what you say, but, they remember how you make them feel… I really believe this! As I think about this it forces me to think about how we say things… and to get even more in-depth… how what …
In a recent discussion with a friend we got on the subject of Brownies & Nuts. I happen to be a major fan of nuts in brownies; however, him, not-so-much. In fact he went onto say, that if we were to get together.. he knew that he could kiss brownies …
With a slight modification of Johnny Paycheck’s song, I’ve come to the conclusion that I do deserve better. I am not referring to a ‘better’ man nor am I even referring to a man in general… Overall, I deserve better! Of course, I am writing this post in mid-drama, yet, …
I attended a bar the other night.. watched several young ladies flaunt all that they had in sequined dresses that were way out-of-place for the peanut shell floor; however, each generation has their own mating call. I watched as they tripped over one another and made attempts of boot-stomping dances …
I have spoken at great lengths about why I write this blog and how cathartic it has been for me. From where I sit, it is perfectly OK for me to do this as I gain insight, am able to express myself in a creative way and there is always …
When I started to write this blog, I was doing it just to put my thoughts to paper so-to-speak; however, I’ve been pleasantly surprised to actually have readers! Thank you! I am honored that others read what I write…. I will never ask you to come forward, if that’s not …
Since I’ve connected my blog to my Facebook page I’ve received a lot of really nice and supportive comments. I am also very happy to report that bloggers of which I greatly admire and respect are not only reading my posts, but commenting and mentioning me (Thanks, @lookingforbrunettey); however, the …
Not sure where I came up with this line; however, I have a more X-rated version when spoken, yet, the truth of the matter is you can’t undo – the done. An advertisement text, yep, still on that blunder; however, here’s where that error has brought me… back to me, …
Everything happens for a reason. I say this quite often and I truly mean it. I am not necessarily in the know of what the reason is; however, I sincerely believe that there are no accidents. During a conversation with a dear friend… he encouraged me to just text Mr. …
I love Country Music… there’s something about the lyrics that just speak to me. Irrespective of my mood, there’s a country song that nails it. At current, the internal playlist is as follows: Keep Me In Mind – Zac Brown Band This is not the I will be here waiting …
It’s been 1 week since I’ve heard from Mr. Special…. this statement is a bit skewed because if he is special… why would I be tracking our communication? Well, because I was under the belief that you had to communicate with someone daily in order to be ‘connected’. At this …
I have never been a big believer on rules or what society determines as the right way in which to do something. I follow the law, respect social graces and do believe that when in Rome…. yet, I have charted my course and feel that I have done a relatively …
Although each person is their own… I definitely see some similarities in my Mr. Special with some of the Silver Screen’s best people…. He is a smooth driver… but wet or dry, he is ruggedly handsome….. Definitely someone who has a strong patriotic background… he is also someone who notices the girl …
When I read this it struck me in 2 different ways… my first reaction was this is a pretty cool saying; however, my quick second thought was… that this was an indicator that you may be keeping something that has ended with you, longer than you should. Perhaps each of …
Dolly Parton is one of my idols.. as I was growing up I always admired her voice, in my mind she is beautiful… her beautiful blonde hair/wig was not something a Korean could pull off…(that reminds me of another blog idea, Asians should NEVER do blonde), yet as I aged.. …
Ever since I can remember, I have always regarded the Rocky movies as THE most romantic love story – ever! I recall how excited I was when the new Rocky sequel would be announced. There was something about the very first movie that struck me and each sequel after it …
I hate text messages; however, when someone I fancy is texting me, I’m as giddy as a schoolgirl! Can’t get any more opposite than that! I can appreciate text messages for their immediacy and their usefulness, when a conversation is simply not an option i.e. in a meeting or just …
