Good experiment; time to walk the walk… And I do depend on y’all to push me along this path of being ever more romantic (there is a lot of room to grow!)

Thank you, Luis. I am very happy it brought you intense emotions.

Ah but you did still share so much… I enjoy so much expressions of excitement and adoration and arousal, but also of course love. This made me feel so warm and happy.

My life means much more.
Most important aspect of my life.
My encouragement and courage.
Kept me in the game, made it possible for me to hope, become better.
A dominant force in how I define myself.
Because of you, I have passion to fuel my will to keep going.

Alright, I wasn’t going to share, cause I’m shy about this (I don’t consider myself particularly poetic or romantic), but I’ve really enjoyed the way others have gone for it, and reading what’s been shared… and I’m nothing if not a joiner… so… here goes nothing.

I keep a small notebook in my purse, at times when I have a particularly…[Read more]

I stole the idea, #5 did it for me, that book is own of my most treasured possessions. We should all steal the idea.

They may not be writing it down Luis, but i know you too well not to know there are women out there filling their book on you in their minds.

Sorry I’m late (as usual), but how could I resist the challenge of expressing myself within limits (particularly when I’m prone to being verbose)? Context: long-distance writer friend I’ve had warm feelings for over the better part of a decade, but for whatever reason (long distance or either/both of us being in relationships with other people)…[Read more]

New Word: ‘Valentine’s Day’

Cursed holiday
(for 20 years I never had a boyfriend, then my first boyfriend ever broke up with me on Valentine’s Day. #2 from the story ‘my second love’ proposed to me on valentines day. And my husband considers it pure consumerism and rejects it on the whole.)

New Word: Possessiveness

New word: Pain

New Word: Care

lol… I assume he is beating them against the rocks with his shirt off, under a brilliant sky and dreamy music in the background… I have some ideas about what I’d like to do to him while he is hanging them on the line too.

I’ve actually got the laundry handled, but if he could fix my f’king laptop… well, NOW I’d have to tackle him and lick him all over.

I don’t know much, but is definitely know I do NOT want a cabbage.

I stand corrected! You had me very confused the cabbage and romance!

Your list of flower choices was very interesting and on the mark for me. I collect orchids and one of my own paintings that is an altimeter favorite is a huge canvas with a single strelitzia… and I’m quite sure you were quite confident I would like your description of what you planned to do with the roses the moment you wrote it.

I think you nailed that one luis

I want the recipe!

Mmmm… I want

So come now tell… Did you? There is still time you know.

Yes, I did. We pushed aside a week’s exhaustion. He gave me his time; he stayed. He came for me. I took a bath. I came for him.

Thank You Mallory. This makes me very happy. I love to know as a species, we are out there living this life, not just bearing it, not just surviving it, but really living it, it makes all the difference. I know what a struggle it is, but we have to fight for this level of inclusion. Savor those nights. I found my moments… too short and…[Read more]

Red, black… hard to choose.

That is your answer or my four words, if it’s not your answer lie, because you’ll like what think it was did to me.

I don’t hole with minuses, we need to clear this slate

My greatest frustration… The ultimate finite restriction (yes I used more than four… I’ll take the punishment… Gladly :))

New word: Unstoppable

mmm…that would nice…very nice indeed. I AM looking forward to the day when I might get to indulge this long held desire (@lake). @Luis – I would like to relate a funny story about your post…when I got an e-mail notice saying that I had been “referenced” in your post, I could read the post, but had no context about what your comment was in res…[Read more]

Official Scorekeeper: Our Mortality

Most gripping foreplay.

ravished by expectation/imagination

swirling, crackling, humming energy

You may have to keep reminding me that I am not eligible to volunteer for this!

I vote for lake volunteering and james demostrating long and hard.

Hmmm… I do still have my wedding dress… Of course it is not white, so I suppose it wouldn’t be the same. C ant help but feel I missed opportunity here… And now I can’t believe I didn’t think of getting at least one kind of naughty picture that day, these are so amped!

Apparently there are a few highly popular pics men like to take of their new brides these days. I can’t really blame them, can you!

It sounds to me like you are saying that she is the type of bride that you could see yourself really looking forward to be the one she was leaving the reception with…
Were you the groom of course!
I can get behind that notion.

He’s out for an errand. Will tell him when returning. Thanks for loving the perspective. 🙂

I love more than the perspective and am very open to your sharing! You always have such clever ideas for making the photos new and fun.

I just bought some maroon tights of my own, but I haven’t worn them yet…. This makes me think maybe I need to make that happen tomorrow. All this perspective is definitely giving me some ideas 🙂

Thank you!

Here’s to possibilities!
