It must be time to write, Jill the Cat is here.
I sit down in front of the lap top. It's fun and it's challenging. Today I don't have a subject in mind, so, I'll improvise. Wanda gave me a great suggestion for a topic last week end. I planned on writing, with her help, but I didn't. Things got in the way of my creative flow. Things like food and movies and naps. I'll put the topic aside and use it later. A nice result of procrastination, I always have something to fall back on.
Part of an e-mail message I got last night was about relationships. The rhetorical question asked , and I paraphrase, what do people in their sixties who have been together over thirty years expect? Although only together for twenty five years, I am in my sixties. What do I expect in our relationship? I expect nothing.
What I mean here is I have no expectations because I have everything I need. Respect, love, understanding, appreciation. Wanda and I both live in the now. Please don't think I am promoting some form of "New Age" thing. We don't have a guru we don't meditate or chant, it's just not our way. We both do have the ability to sit, without talking, and read a good book. We can both laugh at "It's so fluffy" while watching "Despicable Me" for the tenth time. We're both happy and satisfied with what we have and each other.
It's not like we couldn't stand a little improvement. Maybe a large sack of unmarked bills will find its' way down our chimney in ten days? Well, you never know.
"The Princess Bride" 1987 was on a couple nights ago. It's a very cute movie and I think worth watching. This film has a special place in my heart since it was the first date for me and Wanda. The theater is gone, we are still together.
It may be sappy and it is a cliche' but Wanda and I are each others best friend. That's what makes a strong and lasting relationship.
Throwing cupcakes does not.
A woman arrested on a domestic battery charge allegedly hit her husband over the head and pelted him with cupcakes. Officers called to the home found the husband with smudges of icing on his head and body.
The husband told police he feared for his safety.
Police said the woman admitted to throwing the cupcakes and used "a very aggressive tone" when speaking to officers.
The 60 year old woman was arrested on a misdemeanor count of domestic battery.......A pie in the face, a cupcake in the head.....nothing says lovin' like something from the oven, and Pillsbury says it best.
Why do you think it's called Wonder Bread?
Authorities in Florida said they arrested a twenty one year old woman who allegedly attacked her sister during an argument about toast.
The woman became enraged when she saw her sixteen year old sister using her bread to make toast.
Investigators said the sister apologized but she was not satisfied and she hit the younger girl twice in the head with a 6-inch metal cooking pot.
The incident was witnessed by the third sister....who was heard to say, "Damn, I hope she doesn't discover the missing cookies."
If you ever want to beat yourself up for doing something you perceive as silly or dumb. If you ever think you have put your foot in your mouth, think of this:
Click here and turn up your sound .....be sure to listen to the whole thing, it runs for a few minutes. You may have to sit through a short commercial.
A good testimonial for sobriety.
