  • Girls Just Wanna Have Fun ...


    My sister was driving along and saw in the window of a boutique the perfect bear.  The white bear wears a red velvet hat, a purple feather boa, and when you squeeze her hand, she bobs her head and sings "Girls just wanna have fun..."  (The tag describes that as an enchanting melody which kind of cracks me up.)


    She sent the bear to me for a bushel of different reasons all tied up in the way that she sees me, the way I see myself, and her desire that I remember that life should have some fun in it.  Cheryl has long taken it as her task in life to point me in that direction, from the spur of the moment invitations she used to issue for lunch, dessert, or a walk through the art festival to the sexy underwear she gave me several years ago, she has always known exactly what I needed to life my spirits from the routine of life's concerns.


    I love the bear.


    I love my sister.


    Thanks Cheryl

  • I'd forgotten this post until I came around checking -- and had to chortle.  Here's my tale (tail?) of today:  I brought the kids to Build-A-Bear for our very first visit.  They were enchanted (no pig-noise mismatches occured, alas; their inserts were boringly appropriate to the chosen critter).  We were wandering through the clothing selection when SUDDENLY I saw the purple-dress-and-red-hat ensemble.  Yep.  You guessed it:  I went and built my own bear .

  • Damn - she sounds amazingly cool.  I am positive she must be a genius and a great cook to boot!!!  Wish I had a little sister like that!!!

  • Those Red Hat Society ladies know how to live.  "When I am an old lady, I shall well purple."  Yessss!

    And as a guy, I look forward to being 70+ so I can wear any pattern shirt with any pattern tie.


  • "After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul
    And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't always mean security.
    And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises
    And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead
    with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child
    And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain
    for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
    After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.
    So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
    And you learn that you really can endure that you really are strong and you really do have worth
    And you learn and you learn with every goodbye you learn..... "
