Symbols of Love

29 Sep 2008 06:35 AM

I liked the part about your mom digging up the roses for your dad as a symbol of love because he didn't like roses. That was cute! Hugs, kisses (especially before Wayne leaves for his morning run or for work, or even before going to bed --but Wayne rarely remembers to give me those), and calls just to check in and see what's happening are all symbols of love I treasure.

Pop Culture Potpourri: "Sex and the City" Turns Back the Clock and Croc Hunter's Mini Me

29 Sep 2008 06:30 AM

I saw the "Sex and the City" movie this weekend and as I was watching I was thinking how Carrie kept referring to her life when they all first met in NY. I thought, "Hmm, that would make an interesting story. I wonder if they'll go back in time and show them in their 20s. Then you write they are certainly doing that, except going back a bit earlier. Should be interesting!

Kara, you raise an EXCELLENT point: getting married does help you take it more seriously. Your comment was great. Very real and honest. Thanks for sharing.

And, Samual, my husband said the same thing...in a slightly different way. "50 years is a long time." You almost have to get married at 18 or 20 in order to have a chance to make it there. We got married when I was 25 and he was 28. I'm hoping we both make it to our 75 and 78 birthdays, because then our 50th anniversary wil be right then too. (Everything's in the same month. Bdays and anniversary.) I just hope we both have our faculties and remember it all!!!

Definitely about time he came out. And I'm with Tristi...your anti-news flash comment was perfect.

Paul Newman Dead at 83

Oh man, this is very sad news. Sorry to hear about this. Hopefully he went peacefully and didn't suffer. You're right, Libby. He was amazing in more ways than just being an incredible actor. He'll be missed.

Oh my gosh, this is so going on my must see list when it comes out. What a wild pair those two would make in a film together. But who's Depp going to be? Tonto???

Autumn Recipes: E is for Easy Taco Soup

Easy to forget, Michele. Wish it was getting a bit more Fall-like here. Still in the 80s, but the leaves are turning. I'm getting excited for the cooler weather, though. You've shared a lot of great recipes that will be fun to eat (like that stew recipe) when the weather's just a tad more conducive.
