Excuse Me, Do I Know You?

The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

By Derek Walcott

A friend sent this to me the other day.

I found a house today for me and the kids.  I feel good about it.  I am tired of the insecure crap I have been dealing with since April.  I realize I am not capable of anything more than friends.

Last night I was locked out of the house and tonight I am locked out of my room.  I am too old for these stupid games.  I could have caused a scene both times, but I think my kids don't need to be involved in this stupid stuff. 

He called me a name last night for the first time, it started with a C and ended with a T, got it?  He said it 3 times!  I spent 7 years of listening to my ex husband calling me that I will be damned if I am going to do it agian.

Sept. 1st is my moving date.

Dress is out of the trash and I am going to L.A. next weekend with my sis to have some fun.

No more men for me.  I am happy with my kids, family, friends, and my dogs.

We had a wonderful trip!  Can you believe my honey likes to shop?  A man who likes to shop for his woman's clothes, does it get better than that?  Yes it does......he loves me and I love him.  Finally things feel normal again.

A week before Valentines Day I was grocery shopping and I found  2 cards that reminded me of my honey, so I bought them.  I filled them out in my car and gave them to him when I got home.  He got tears in his eyes and told me that he had never received a Valentines Day card before.  What is even sadder is not one girl he has ever been with has taken the time to buy him a card for any occasion, I was the first.  Sad???

He has one tickle spot on his body and I am the first one to find it.  I don't understand how you can say you love someone and not want to know everything you can about them.  Not just physical, but mental too.  BTW it's his left nipple :)

He was married for 18 years to a woman who is now a millionaire (thanks to her dad) and she still makes him pay his alimony.  Why?  When he met her she had no job and 4 kids.  She never had to work the entire time they were together and he raised her 4 kids.  They never had children together.  I just don't think that is fair.

The last one he was with talked him into paying for her daughters boob job.  Oh I really don't like her at all.  She still calls him asking him to go out for drinks.  She wanted him to marry her and he asked for a prenuptial, she said no.  I told him I wouldn't marry him without one.  I don't want anyone to think that money is the reason I am with him.  I am with him because he is the best person I know and because I love him so much.

I know I am rambling on, sorry.

I am off to the beach this morning with my stud honey!  We have been fighting non stop for the past 3 months and it is time to stop.  Something happened to our relationship after he turned 50, insecurity I guess.  He keeps saying that he is 50 and I am a lovely 35 year old.  He doesn't understand that I think he is the sexiest man in the world (besides Kid Rock.)  I am determined to show him how much I love him.

We were fighting about something stupid recently and I got fed up so I took my clothes off :)  He tried to stay mad, but he couldn't!  Men can be such suckers!!!  Hey, it worked we stopped arguing.

Well I am off to have a great time.  I hope the rest of you have a fabulous weekend.

We have a beautiful backyard that to me is paradise.  Nice big swimming pool, tons of wonderful plants, awesome patio furniture covered by a huge tent that we call the Taj Mahal, and a mister system.  During the summer we like to spend most of our time in the backyard.  We rarely use the kitchen stove instead we cook on the grill.  Not to get off the subject, but the other night I made bacon wrapped filets stuffed with gorgonzola cheese and fresh thyme.  Omg they were out of this world!  Ok, I do have a point to all of this backyard talk.  We have one major problem, FLIES!!  Do you know we have this issue?  It's because the neighbors behind us don't clean up the dog poo poo in their backyard.  We have fly fogger, fly strips, and fly swatters nothing is helping.  My sis was here visiting a few weeks ago and she called Animal Control to see what could be done.  They referred her to the Feces Control Department.  I had no idea such a department existed.  Are there that many people in my city not cleaning up after their pets?  Well there must be because my neighbors still have cleaned up the poo poo which tells me the feces people haven't been by to pay them a visit.  I hung up a fly strip at 11:30 am today it is now 1:30 pm and that sucker is full of flies.  I honestly think if you aren't going to take care of your animals then you really shouldn't have them.

Looks like someone has been playing in the mud :)  I bet Captain really thinks she is sexy now!

How about Heavenly for a restaurant name?  By the way it will be fine dining.
