You

There is stuff about you that drives me mad
yet you have stuff that I love about you
You can be very easy going,
yet you can be stubborn all the same

You make choices that at times I don't agree with
you are your own person, I have to let
the choice be yours
but when your choices are favorable to mine
we now have a home run

As the days go into months you are there for me
you are my touchstone, yet at times I might
not need you, I might need a another
and you understand

When I need the laughter it is you who
i seek out, as you can make me
laugh like no other
you know that spot in my heart that chuckles

And when sleep alludes me, you circle in my
head likes bees around a hive
seeing, thinking
it is you

  2. Whoosh!!!

    Completely over my head. Is this a poem or one of those haiku things? Who is you?

    It is a very nice sentiment, regardless. A nice way to start a week I am not looking forward to.

    Hi to LL; You're an early riser, aren't you?

  7. I just can't help myself! Why do I do that? I really like Tina. A lot. Yet, I terrorize her every chance I get.

    I'm so sorry Tina! I know you can take it cuz you're tough, but you shouldn't have to.

  12. Waving.. @ all above me, and all who will be below me..

    Tomorrow is election day, I hope to god Corzine gets out, I am def voting for Christie.. The race is tight, Christie has a chance but NJ is a demoratic state, so Corzine might pull thru..

    We shall see..

    How about the USS New York, amazing huh.. Steel was used from the Trade Center to build it.. It will be at South Street Seaport (NY) I think for the month of Nov. If the weather is nice on Sunday, we are going into NY to see it..

    And what about the Oasis of the Seas Royal Caribbean's new ship. She looks beautiful, I was invited on it for a Travel Agent site inspection in Dec, but I am not going.. could not find anyone to go with me, and I did not want to go alone.. She is one big amazing ship..

  13. Bonacci...

    FYI....

    You also have to be nice to her during lent, which I think is around Feb 17 2010 to beginning of April..

  14. Zona..

  15. Carol, nobody in the world is that patient.

    Crap! Start the clock over. See? It just comes out. I'm sorry, Tina!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Carol, I understood the blog the 2nd time I read it. It is perfect. It's true as well. For all of us, I think.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Bonacci..

    I think you need rehab 101.. :O)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Bonacci..

    My writings can be very cryptic at times, Once you get used to them you will def get it on the first read..

    LL.. knew right away that "you" can be everyone..

    Turtle, (kgirl) likes when I write this way, and when I am writing these type of blogs I think of her. She always encouraged me to continue writing this way..

    Tina.. is so right.. Caroleaze, still LOL....

    ReplyDelete
  19. Carol...I really liked your blog today!!!! I'm not sure who you were refering to, but it struck a cord with me. I guess 'cuz it kinda describes my Mom. Sorry I haven't been commenting, I somehow fell into this depression kinda thing. It actually kinda scared me as I didn't get out of bed for a couple of days and I've NEVER done that. I finally figured out that looking for a house in CA and sorting through stuff to get ready to move was keeping me distracted and when I no longer had that to do I had too much time to remember the awful parts of taking care of Mom. Plus I gave up a dream I had for years. Not a good combination.

    Hope everyone is well and happy...

    BTW..The Halloween story was funny as hell!!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Carol...I'll go!!! Where is it??? LOL..I saw that ship in yesterday's paper. Freakin amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Bleh...I just re-read my post...Sorry! I'm such a Debbie Downer these days...AND I didn't use spell check...Again.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Bonachichi...Why are you not looking forward to your week?

    ReplyDelete
  23. CAROL! GODDAMMIT! I THOUGHT WE AGREED TO KEEP OUR AFFAIR A SECRET!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. OK, from the joking to the serious:

    Republican candidate for New Jersey Christie's position on gay marriage:

    "Christie has said that he favors New Jersey's current law allowing same-sex couples to form civil unions but would veto any bill legalizing same-sex marriage.[46]"I also believe marriage should be exclusively between one man and one woman.... If a bill legalizing same sex marriage came to my desk as Governor, I would veto it."

  25. Happy Monday Owls.

    Carol, Zona is right...Perfect. The words flowed perfectly for you today. I, too, love seeing your distinctive Caroleaze writing. It can be recognized at first glance before reading a word.

    I haven't told you lately how much I appreciate you for maintaining the nest for us. I know how busy you are, but you are the YOU for all of us. Thanks. ♥♥♥♥

    ReplyDelete
  26. Isn't it funny... I thought of Kgrl whilst reading the blog. It does sound like her; spiritual and philosophical.

    I've devoted a lot of time and energy to not feeling things. Not letting others know I'm feeling them, at least. It's an asset at work, but screws with my personal life.

    I'm not looking forward to this week because every job I have is something I can't stand doing with people I can't stand being around. I'm almost looking forward to jury duty next week.

    Scrish, just a sec...

    ReplyDelete
  27. Lois, congrats on #1 today.

    Bonachichi, I hope you week smooths out for you.

    Zona, LOL @ Mr. Z playing Xmas music already.

    Tina, I think it is a paradox that your birthday falls on All Saints Day. ijs

    Carol, You should go see the Oasis of the Seas, so you can tell us all about it. Inquiring minds want to know. Also, it was very moving to see the USS NY sailing into NY this morning.

    Scirish, don't give up on your CA dream. It may still happen sonme day. We will wait for you.

    Bear, you are such a goof!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I thought I should break this up. Scrish, if you were so looking to SoCal, maybe a change in scenery is due? It doesn't have to be CA.

    A weekend away with friends or (other) family could do wonders. Even a weekend away by yourself.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Yeah, I pretty much got an A in Crypticology 101. ;) Carol I love your cryptic little self!!

    Waving a wing to Barb, Bear, Scirish. Scirish, I'm so sorry you've been having a rough run, hang in there. xoxo

    ReplyDelete
  30. NN,Congrats, now go back to bed :)
    Good to see you "nesting"

    Carol, good stuff there :) Kinda rotates the cobwebs this early week day! I too volunteer to go with you on board!!
    Barb wouldn't it be fun?

    Bonacci, if you don't pick on Tina she will think you are mad at her! I really don't know how to relate to her any other way lol!!
    It is fun to kid with someone who "gives it back". Kinda reminds me of the old vaudevillian days. I know, I know,I am older than dirt lol!

    Scirish, It took many years to fulfill my dreams of traveling to Europe. I had to wait till the boys were grown & gone, but it was so worth the wait! Hang in there! Dreams do come true :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. NN/LL Congrats on First! Love that you start the day with a smile. :)

    Bonach I hope your week goes better than you expect.

    Zona Good morning! How's the weather?

    Tina I hope you had a great day yesterday even if you are getting to be old like me. ;)

    scirish Just because the dream isn't becoming reality right now, doesn't mean it won't later. We never know what tomorrow will bring.

    Bear Switch hitter? ;)

    SacBarb Happy Monday to you, too. It's supposed to be 75 here today Perfect!

    Mary I don't think I'd want to sail on the Oasis. By the time I walked one of the dining rooms, I'd be too tired to eat!

    Carol I loved your blog today. I think it probably speaks to each of us. Kudos!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Thanks everyone, for the well wishes this week. It's not terrible; just not something I'll be excited about. I'd rather be cutting my toenails or picking my nose, but we can't have everything.

    ReplyDelete
  33. hmmmmmmmm.....i leave for a while....TO WORK....and you let a bitch in to talk trash about me!!!! What's this neighborhood coming to?!~

    ReplyDelete
  34. Bonachichi....Hmmm, a getaway sounds like a fine idea...There are some Antique shops in Vermont that I haven't seen in a while.


    Odd thing, I'm still getting the new SoCal real estate listings in my e-mail but have been deleting them. I went back and opened them all this afternoon. Ya never know...However I do believe I am going to hate winter more than usual this year...ijs

    ReplyDelete
  35. Bonachichi....I have to do 2 tasks that I absolutley dread...I can identify!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Scrish, keep your real estate listings. Nothing says you can't rent a place by the beach over winter holiday. That's what I meant by getting away. Not antique shops. I mean you should go somewhere with sun and beaches. CA or FL. If you're feeling really crazy HI or Mexico, even. Someone can watch mum for a bit.

    Tina, I am not going to hurl a zinger at you. For 2 reasons. To see if I can refrain, and to give you some peace. Whether you want it or not. BTW, how was the birthday?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Heads up, farmers. FB has a trojan. Careful careful w/email from FB.

  38. Sacbarb..
    TY... I will do as promised till the last owl is standing.. ♥♥

    Scirish..
    Hang in there, things happen for a reason..

    Whabby...
    Oops sorry, I forgot we were a secret!!

    Tina...
    Just reread your comment from this morning.. and all I can say is.. Thanks for thinking of me 24/7 I am glad to know I am in your thoughts.. When you are thinking of me, do I have a red stilettos on? ;o)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Whabby..

    I know Christie's stance on same sex marriage. You know I am for same sex marriage. However NJ taxes are one of the highest, and the taxes just keep going up. Christie has some good plans for reducing taxes, and I agree with them. NJ taxes are wasted and he has stated he will try his hardest to clean up the tax issue. For me the tax issue is a big one, so I need to put my vote to use, and go with what I believe in.

    I am also a practicing Catholic (as you know) in the Catholic religion same sex marriage is not recognized. It is not my belief, but I cherish my religion.

    We have to make choices sometimes and take the good with bad.

    Oh no, I hate Trojan's.. (well sometimes they do come in handy tho)
