My Favorite Things

-
This post could be subtitled, "Giving in to peer pressure." O.K. there has been no pressure, but I see all the cool kids playing, and I feel a little left out.

What is all the fuss about?

Mrs. G.,over at Derfwad Manor , has invited all of her bloggy friends to post a list of their favorite things.

So here goes.

1. Folk music. I love all sorts of music, but my latest favorite, and the accompaniment to every evening meal at my house is The Weepies.

Aren't they sweet? I just wish they'd release a new album!


2.

3.

Dinah

Alice
Joel

4. The Guadalupe River (Though Susan will ask if it is the Frio)



5. Coffee. O.K. , there should be something in the cup, but what can I say? I drank it.

6. Poetry. Especially

Emily Dickinson
7. Sweet people.


Grandmother and Momma


Morgan and Susan

I love your list and I went in and added you to the original narrative. It just wasn't the same without you. Have a great weekend.

Folk music, coffee and sweet people - we're on the same page.
The picture of your Mama and your Grandma - beautiful. And I love that the dog is Alice....which reminds me I wish I had put up my dogs too. Maybe we will do Favorite Fridays again. I have thought of lots of other favorites since I posted. Like seat warmers. Love seat warmers.

What a great list! I too like the use of pictures instead of words. Nice touch!

Hey you look fun, too. :)

I loved how in your profile under favorite books you put, "Are you kidding me?" And I love Joni Mitchell. Do you know Robin & Linda Williams' music? They are regulars/folk singers on Prairie Home Companion.

I'm intrigued. I'll be back.

Hehe! I especially love the label "embarrassing revelations." Those are always the best, aren't they? Everyone else just finds them endearing, after all. :)

Dickinson FTW.


Such pretty puppies.

Hmmm, now if only I had some pictures of our puppy....I guess I need to go take some.

Embarrassing Personal Revelation #892

-
Joni Mitchell once wrote, "All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you, too." It didn't. My partner and I have separated. We tried. We really tried. I am embarrassed to admit this. I even considered erasing this blog from the internet so that I would not embarrass myself or her. But my whole purpose in blogging was to have some kind of a community where I could be open and explore my writing in a personal way. You have shared the good things with me. You have seen my ugly 5K Ass Project photos. It would feel cowardly to just disappear. Plus, I could use the support.

First comes love. . .

Then comes doing our level best to destroy the family. Susan and I sat cross-legged on our bed last night and swore our undying love for one another. No witnesses, no music, no officials; just two happy gals staring into one another's eyes. I am very happy. It's funny, wearing this ring has made me a little self-conscious; I spent the day feeling like I had a neon sign on my forehead that said, "Look at my finger!" My office mate Mark said he felt the same way after he got married. Symbols are powerful things for English majors. Now if only I could claim her on my health insurance. "We learn to love by loving."

Excerpt from student paper today: Being politically correct is a way that we speak here in America so that we don’t offend any whining babies. Only pathetically weak people that don’t have the balls to say what they feel and mean are politically correct [idiots]. Society and the media have made it to where people are now afraid to say what they actually mean. Comedians are now the only people who actually speak the truth about society. Except now even Saturday Night Live wont put anything that is not politically correct for fear that some left wing idiot will throw a fit a make NBC apologize. At this point in her reading of this cogent argument, my boss said, "does he realize you will be reading this paper?" Oh yes. And it gets better! Today’s society has become way to obsessed with how things need to be right and to make people feel better. The correct term these days for garbage man is a sanitation engineer. No, a garbage man is no kind of engineer he has no college degree
