Louisa –
I dunno what Karen H. said to you, I’ll check it out, but she gave me a big kick in the pants a couple weeks ago, too – that woman is a MOTIVATOR!!

I *love* you peeps (see – abiding by my own commandment!!) & see you in the morning!!

I have always remembered those words, Karen! That and the diet coke incident. But we won’t talk about that. LOL You really inspired me to stop thinking of all the reasons I couldn’t write and start thinking about all the reasons I should. I owe you, sister! BIG TIME!! ‘Cause right now I’m having a ball!

Janae, it’s a sad way to be and I hope they eventually find a way to life that’s no so hard on the ole self-esteem.

Becky, bless you for mentioning the bleeps! So many times I’ve heard people talk and I’ve thought, “If only they’d lift that story out of the gutter, it’d be really worthwhile.”

nancyg, amen to the courtin’ thy wife part especially. Amen, amen, amen! And next time that happens, I’ll animal control it! It wouldn’t have been so bad, but the just thought it was so CUTE. I’ll show you cute, lady!

Louisa, you’re so right about the people with accents. That’s so frustrating! I worked with the foreign students for a while and they were plagued with that problem by many of the other students who’d never been out of the country. Btw, that’s cool about being on Romance Magicians! And it’s so sweet of you to mention me … now I’m wildly curious! I’ll run over and check it out right now.

By the way, I am blogging on Romance Magicians today. The topic? WHO DO YOU OWE ? The blog is for writers but it can be for anyone. In it I talk about the people who have helped me on my journey as a writer and I give the Goddesses and you in particular, Karen Hawkins, a big shout out. Hop over if you get the chance and tell me about who you owe and what their contribution has meant to you.

LOL @ Karen H – I would’ve given her the “bidness”…animal control is just a phone call away…

going Medieval on y’all now…

Last one for the day…

When one is trying to court thy wife ‘ere the evening commences (kids in bed, brown chick-a brown cow time), it behooves one to hit thy kitchen sick with thy dinner dishes…and work clothes in the hamper/dry cleaning pile scores Brownie points, too!!

Also, try to remember when thy teenagers give ye the *rolling heavenward eyes* upon requesting the dinner dishes be cleared and loaded into ye olde dishwasher, that thoust was a teenager thyself at one time…. if they enjoyed it, it wouldn’t be called a “chore”, LOL

ct009ct,

I agree completely on your take on people with foreign accents. All that means is that they speak TWO languages and their grasp of English grammar is probably far superior to that of the idiot who thinks a foreign accent signals a lack of intelligence.

It makes me want to say “Oh really? He speaks two languages. How many can you speak without butchering it?”

We’d be darn good running the world!

Sabrina, I love your rhyme! I think I’ll embroider that on some handtowels and send it off to college with my son.

Here’s a new one – if you’re walking your dog in the park, and you have Mr. Pooch on a retactable leash, lock that sucker in place when I jog by. I don’t think it’s cute when your dog runs across my path and I almost fall.

Grrrrrr! Can you all tell I just got back from a run?

WAHOO!!!! K, just like venting. Sorry!
#1. DON’T drive 10 mph UNDER the speed limit. Seriously, I have places to go otherwise I wouldn’t be in the car.
#2. DON’T lie to me. I’ll find out the truth and there’s really no fixing our relationship when you lie to me.
#3. DON’T tell me I need to gain weight. I’m thin, I’m athletic, I work at this. If you wanna see some flab, I can show you some, but be prepared, all right? Leave my body alone.
#4. DON’T express yourself with so many bleeps that I can’t understand what you’re trying to say. Read a dictionary. Read a BOOK. Expand your vocab.

Everything else has been said, I think…. We should just run the world, ladies. We’d be so good at it!
