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
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
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
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
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
head likes bees around a hive
seeing, thinking
it is you
Nice Carol! Reminds me of pretty much everyone. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy day Owls!!!
Whoosh!!!
ReplyDeleteCompletely 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?
Good Morning!
ReplyDeleteCAROL: Perfect. I try to add more words to this comment and I just mess it up...so I'll just write it again..Perfect..and stop right there. :)
Morning, Bonachichi and Zona!!! Perfect indeed! Yes, super early riser but not happy about it for I am a night owl at heart!!
ReplyDeleteLL/NN: Congrats on FIRST!
ReplyDeleteHi BONACHI! I hope you have a better week than you think you will..
JODI: Thinking 'bout you..
MO: You need to at least get some ice cream.. ;)
Oh Carol~ That's so sweet of you~ I think about you too!!!~
ReplyDeleteNN/LL~ Congrats on first~
Bonchichi~ you need to get out more....this is written in Caroleaze~ :D
Good Morning Zona~
Tina, what's it like being old?
ReplyDeleteI just can't help myself! Why do I do that? I really like Tina. A lot. Yet, I terrorize her every chance I get.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Tina! I know you can take it cuz you're tough, but you shouldn't have to.
Lois..
ReplyDeleteExactly!!!!
:O)
Bonacci...
ReplyDeleteI am not looking forward to this upcoming week either, beginning of the month all bills are due..
YUCK!
and
You can be You or You or You..
Bonacci..
ReplyDeleteI like Tina alot to.. what I most like about her is she is def a good sport and rolls with the punches.. :O)
Tina..
ReplyDeleteCaroleaze.. I love it.. ♥♥♥
I am going to have Be Nice To Tina today. I won't be mean or snarky to her for 24 hours. Starting now.
ReplyDeleteWaving.. @ all above me, and all who will be below me..
ReplyDeleteTomorrow 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..
Bonacci...
ReplyDeleteFYI....
You also have to be nice to her during lent, which I think is around Feb 17 2010 to beginning of April..
Zona..
ReplyDeleteIt is perfect isn't it.. words are amazing..
:O)
Carol, nobody in the world is that patient.
ReplyDeleteCrap! Start the clock over. See? It just comes out. I'm sorry, Tina!
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.
ReplyDeleteBonacci..
ReplyDeleteI think you need rehab 101.. :O)
Bonacci..
ReplyDeleteMy 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....
Ok.. off to work..
ReplyDelete:O)
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.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone is well and happy...
BTW..The Halloween story was funny as hell!!!
Carol...I'll go!!! Where is it??? LOL..I saw that ship in yesterday's paper. Freakin amazing!
ReplyDeleteBleh...I just re-read my post...Sorry! I'm such a Debbie Downer these days...AND I didn't use spell check...Again.
ReplyDeleteBonachichi...Why are you not looking forward to your week?
ReplyDeleteCAROL! GODDAMMIT! I THOUGHT WE AGREED TO KEEP OUR AFFAIR A SECRET!!!!
ReplyDeleteOK, from the joking to the serious:
ReplyDeleteRepublican 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."
Happy Monday Owls.
ReplyDeleteCarol, 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. ♥♥♥♥
Isn't it funny... I thought of Kgrl whilst reading the blog. It does sound like her; spiritual and philosophical.
ReplyDeleteI'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...
Lois, congrats on #1 today.
ReplyDeleteBonachichi, 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!
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.
ReplyDeleteA weekend away with friends or (other) family could do wonders. Even a weekend away by yourself.
Yeah, I pretty much got an A in Crypticology 101. ;) Carol I love your cryptic little self!!
ReplyDeleteWaving a wing to Barb, Bear, Scirish. Scirish, I'm so sorry you've been having a rough run, hang in there. xoxo
NN,Congrats, now go back to bed :)
ReplyDeleteGood 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 :)
bbl have to get gross-eries
ReplyDeleteNN/LL Congrats on First! Love that you start the day with a smile. :)
ReplyDeleteBonach 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!
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.
ReplyDeletehmmmmmmmm.....i leave for a while....TO WORK....and you let a bitch in to talk trash about me!!!! What's this neighborhood coming to?!~
ReplyDeleteBonachichi....Hmmm, a getaway sounds like a fine idea...There are some Antique shops in Vermont that I haven't seen in a while.
ReplyDeleteOdd 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
Bonachichi....I have to do 2 tasks that I absolutley dread...I can identify!
ReplyDeleteScrish, 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.
ReplyDeleteTina, 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?
Heads up, farmers. FB has a trojan. Careful careful w/email from FB.
ReplyDeleteSacbarb..
ReplyDeleteTY... 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)
Whabby..
ReplyDeleteI 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.
Bonacci..
ReplyDeleteOh no, I hate Trojan's.. (well sometimes they do come in handy tho)
;O)
J/L..
ReplyDeleteI agree.. love starting the day out with a :)
and
TY!
Mary and Sacbarb..
ReplyDeleteHow that would be fun.. owls on the high seas.. I don't think the waters would ever be the same.. LOL
Shirley must still be in the basement of Owl Manor putting away the 75 boxes of Halloween Horrors.. I just hope she was taken by IT!
ReplyDeleteScirish..
ReplyDeleteWas not referring to anyone in particular except for You and You and You..
Glad you liked it..
LL..
ReplyDeleteCrypticology 101, LOL
Shirley, Shirley..
ReplyDeleteI just got 50, please mark that down..
Do you all think she can hear me, the owl manor basement is really very far..
Tina..
ReplyDeleteMister Rogers, will be making a appearance soon.. ;O)
Zona..
ReplyDeleteDon't forget about the cows.. cause I need the milk to then make ice cream.. :O) if your confused with this comment read your fb inbox..
:O)
I am not going to the gym 2nite, by tummy is gassed up.. and don't want to let lose while treading.. cause that would just be so wrong!
ReplyDeleteI think it was the Escarole and Beans, it was awfully good tho..
ReplyDeleteSorry to disappoint you Carol, but I was NOT taken by It. I was getting the stats ready to post. Just a few more minutes and they will be ready.
ReplyDeleteI am going home in a bit..

If you put all of us on one ship, the crew would stage a mutiny, then throw us overboard.

Nighters to all the sweet lurkers :)
Mary I'm not liking how it gets dark so early, either.
ReplyDeleteSweet dreams, HOoters!
