MISSING YOU

My eyes weep;
My heart looks back;
My soul grieves;
My every thought flies back to you!

Your voice laughs;
Your humor shines;
Your words excite;
Your teasing caused my heart to sing!

Our jokes, risque;
Our stories, hot;
Our thoughts shared;
Our times together were too few!

Now it's gone;
Now all is lost;
Now missing you;
Now what will tomorrow bring?

I love to eat out!!
No cooking!
No cleaning up afterward!
Being waited on!!
I love it!!

I went to a place the other day called Cheddar's. Do any of you have one? The food was delicious and reasonably priced.....but it is usually the decor which turns me on...or off...when dining out.

Cheddar's turned me on!
It has HUGE ceramic pots, of all shapes, all over the place...lushly planted! But in the middle of the room was what really got me!!

In the middle, like a room-divider, was the LARGEST aquarium I have ever seen!! You could walk all the way around it, and after I had eaten I was over there cruising back and forth and all around!!
It was beautifully planted and decorated. And the water was so clean and crystal clear! (Some places, their aquariums are kind of murky and look uncared for!! )

There was a large variety of fish, in all shapes and sizes...from large palm-sized ones in bright yellows and blues....to tiny little things you almost miss seeing!.....some playing in the greenery....some hiding in rock-caves.....some cruising the bottom gravel.

Any man who takes me out and wants to make points, needs to take me to an enjoyable place like that!....and of course be enjoyable company and can make me laugh......or take me to a Blues Club!!

Well, enough of that I guess....see ya later!!

Shirl:)

Here I am enjoying my PC, not bothering anyone......I have a good time with myself......when the downstairs innercom BLARS out!!!
After picking myself up off the floor.....it scared the bejeeses out of me!!!.....I asked who it was.

I got yelled at!!! "Time for choir practice!!"

I looked back at the button like, 'what the hell'?!

Did I sign a life-n-death contract or something?..NO
Did I have to be there 'cause we have an 'event' coming up?...NO
Did I plan on being there?....NO
Did I want to slap someones silly face off?...YES
Do I have to tell someone my comings and goings?....NO
Am I grown?....YES

I didn't say a word, just took my finger off the button.
That's the equivelant of hanging up on someone.
It felt goooooood!

Hey...I just got out of the shower; just finished coloring my hair;
My hair and I are still wet; I'm not dressed?!
I'm not going anywhere!!!

Came back over here...got comfy in this chair, again, and went to my favorite place----cyberspace!!!

Oh, if you come by to visit we can heft a glass...or something...together.

But, right now I guess I'd better go do something with myself.
Talk later, Shirl:)

Well, this is it! This is where I sit and talk to you all; and where I try to write a Fantasy novel.

Sometimes I am sitting here until the night and darkness surrounds me, and I finally remember that a lot of time has passed!!!! By the time I come to myself many posts in my garden forum have come and gone...or Dragons have appeared and confronted my hero Val, who is a young apprenticed Wizard, living in the Kingdom of Lynnwyck.
King Adrommo and his kingdom is in danger from an alternate universe of pervasive darkness; burning hot fires and passions; and the black-cloaked form of Darkwing.
Ah, but never fear, young Val is here with his inept approach at saving them all!

A lot of my friends in the Garden Forum posted pictures of their computer area, so we could all see where we talk to each other. Some were so cluttered I would have been embarrassed to show it! I, of course, cleaned mine up before taking the picture!!!!

Up on top is my Bad Hair Day plant!! And a piece of pottery I designed and painted in Ceramics.

To the right on a table is my scanner (which doesn't work!) not compatible with WindowsXP. And up above is my printer (which doesn't work!)...Just broke! :(

Attached on the other side of PC is a clipboard where I attach my writing notes which I can pull around where I can see it, and type them into my novel file. Hanging on the arm of that is the Mic which my son just brought ( It WORKS!!)

So...this is my writing and chatting space...

Don't know what else to tell you about this space....oh, there is often a bottle of wine sitting there, and in the mornings my Garden Helper mug full of coffee.

Guess I'll call this one quits...but now you can picture me here when we talk....unless we’re sitting on the porch, or in my kitchen, or walking down a dusty road somewhere (probably in my mind!):)

Hope you’ll come see me again.
See ya’

I have a bottle of wine sitting here on the desk (as opposed to a GLASS of wine). I think I have become sort of partial to the whole bottle! I mean, if you're gonna have a sip...you might as well go whole hog, I say :)
Tonight I'm tired and sore, with a back ache and headache, so I'm really contemplating getting into a nice, relaxing, warm bubble bath. Showers are so....quick...and over with, ya know? How can you have bubbles floating around in a shower.
I like bubbles, piled up...like the billowing white clouds in the sky, especially the way they look from an airplane...piled up...with some gently departing their tether and floating around, with their iridescent colors shimmering pink and blue......so pretty and delicate ..of course, they must have a wonderful aroma. Right now I have Lavender Chamomile.
They pop like champagne!!...sometimes on your nose.
I like to hold them in my hand and blow on them so they float up in the air...and pile them on top of ..well.. you know ... ...and pretend I have bigger ones than I do!! Ha Ha!!
While the water is running and the bubbles are mounding ..I set a small table by the tub and get my wine, or what ever I'm drinking...it use to be beer.. and put that on the table, maybe lay a book there, depending on my mood....maybe lay out something sensual to put on afterwards.
I mean, a sensual bubble bath deserves sensual clothing afterwards, right?!...No flannel, or night shirt, or jammies....no, it has to be soft, swishy, silky... and have lace....for me black, or red....
Well, enough dreaming. Maybe I will do that later...right now
I should get rid of you, so I can go enjoy those bubbles!!!!
See ya....
Shirl:)
