Kissing HIM!

 

I think I've finally found him -- the one I really want!

We've not met each other yet in person. He lives in another state. But we have a great chemistry via e-chatting (even though we've been chatting less than a week!). He's FUNNY. He's good hearted. He's marriage minded.… Read full post »

Little Heart Disaster

My first little heart-break in many years happened today. That is -- someone who I liked didn't choose me. And I warned him. I told him I thought he should let me introduce him to my roommate who is ten years younger. He said he wanted to meet me and if… Read full post »

Through vs. Threw

It's been a week since my first kiss in five years. As I reported, the kiss itself was unspectacular although I was happy my lips still work and I enjoyed conversing outside with a new person on a lovely summer night.

This guy isn't someone who I want to kiss again;… Read full post »

Kiss, kiss


He kissed me...
 
 He actually said "mwuh" afterward.  It was on the lips but a quite familiar sort of kiss. A kiss my brother might give me. We're lip kissers in our family when we haven't seen each other in awhile.
 
But then we talked a little bit… Read full post »

It's a date


 
So I might get kissed tonight. And I'm not sure exactly how I feel about it. I grew up in an environment where we kissed quite a lot. We liked it. It was free. And up north in Michigan there wasn't a whole lot else to do.  The expectation was… Read full post »
 Third time's a charm.
 
Askmeforwhatyou want complained that "There's Probably NO Kissing!" in the summer reading list I developed for teens and I realized that -- although there's quite a bit of kissing and romance in these stories -- I had completely NEGLECTED to include the GREATEST TEE… Read full post »

Quirks


Before I get started on my work-week planning,
I just wanted to take a few minutes to say goodbye to a weekend,
That was fairly uneventful (that can be so good on a weekend, yes) and upon which I caught up on sleep. Yes. Twelve hours two nights in a… Read full post »

Bee Bim Bop

 

I woke up at 9 a.m. this morning willing to eat the way I have been medically advised to eat -- that is following a balanced, weighed and measured food plan that's been designed for me by a nutritionist. It's balanced with protein and carbs that are not refined (no flour or… Read full post »


I hate to be a disappointment to zealous feminists in the world today but I have a confession to make: Feminism made a fat, angry bitch out of me. No kidding. If you don’t believe me, ask my ex-husband. He was a mild-mannered communist folk singer when I married

Lately


 
Loving me 
Is so worthwhile. 
I think I'll try it! 
  
The smile in your eyes
Makes me feel
Beautiful.
 
I haven't been doing
The things that make me feel
Pretty, lately.
 
Truth is, I've been in a dumpy
Phase. Eating junk food,
 worrying.

Precious Blood


Cole's ordination was unspeakably beautiful.
Cole is a breath of heaven.
I love him.
I will always love him.
 
Cole has set the bar for any man who may come into my life.
I accept that Cole is a Deacon and will be a Priest, never my husband.

Pigs can fly


I wish I had a camera
but I don't.
 
I wish I were a poet
but I am not.
 
I am a believer in signs
however,
 
And a lover of clouds.
 
It has been cold and rainy for days,
I've felt like winter
a bit.

Twelve Movies

 

I'm WAY behind on Movies that have come out in the past five years. I've probably seen two or possibly three Academy Award nominees from this period of time, so consider that.

 

Here's a quick list of 12 favorites  in no particular order:

 

Good Bye, Lenin!

Ave Maria: A tribute to my mom

 
This is my little tribute to my mom, Ann Marie Landsiedel Maher.  She died on August 22 1998 at the age of 67. It was the Feast of the Queenship of the Blessed Mother. Mom was a big fan of the Blessed Mother and of the Ave Maria, particularly this… Read full post »

Roles

 

 

I miss my mom today. She's been dead for nearly twelve years and I always miss her on Mother's Day. I also miss the children I never had. On Mother's Day I often feel regrets over the confused gender roles I experienced in my college years and how thatRead full post »

Hamburgers


The fact is: There are reasons!
 
There are REASONS why I'm single and have been for almost five years, without any kissing whatsoever.
 
It's true, I'm a nice person -- and fairly attractive. I'm warm and engaging and likable.  But living with me -- being with me 24-7, or… Read full post »

No Kisses


It seemed like such a good idea, didn't it -- blogging about learning to kiss again? 
 
I was sure it would be fun and adventurous.  My fellow blogsters enthusiasm for this project fueled my excitement for kissing. I imagined myself dating this summer -- going to drive-in… Read full post »

Jewels: Alison Krauss

 
The blog has been pretty heavy with stories about painful deaths and watching people we love suffer. I wanted to post a few happy videos for Tuneful Tuesday to lighten up the blog a bit. I had a few in mind.
 
And then I saw this one of Alison… Read full post »

Swans

 

My mother had a beautiful death even though the two years that proceeded it were hellish in many ways. She hadn’t wanted to take treatment for her terminal breast cancer even though the doctors told her if she didn’t she would be dead in six months. She was sixty-five. IRead full post »

Life

I  just realized this is an open-call topic. Abrawang's post on assisted suicide actually inspired me to share this little event with my niece.
 
I didn't used to think assisted suicide was wrong but I do today. I had been quite a fan of Geoffrey Fieger and I supported him… Read full post »

Old Guys

I did not get married this morning and birth twins as Cranky Cuss projected in his "what happened while OS was down" post today. But I did make some progress. My accomplishment this morning may not seem like much to some people -- but I believe it was a major step… Read full post »

Hal Katchum

I think Hal Katchum is one of the most romantic lyricists of our time. I really love his songs. Some happy music to start your week off on the right foot my sweet fans of kissing.
