Self Made Romantic

I'm a romantic that has never been swept off my feet.  One day in the bathroom, I asked myself, "Where does your romanticism come from?"  Immediately, I flashed back to the 3rd grader reading romance novels in the bathroom, in the middle of the night.  I assumed real men like those within the novels existed.  But now at 30, I realize that they were made up.  Which explained the romance novel boom around that time.  It was like a brochure.  Are you not happy in love?  Read and escape to a fantasy world that will never amount to what you may encounter!  It's like hitting the lottery.  However, I'm so damn optimistic that I believe in it, still.

Perhaps my love may not happen like the romance novels, but I think it can be found in everyday occurrences.  Sure I can't give my love away, the way I want; but I have learned how to spread it around evenly to those I meet.  My children of course receive the most, and I nurture them to the point of suffocation, but it seems that at the end of the day, I understand how they want to be held while they sleep.  One day, I'll have that again.  In the meantime, I will commence to silently shower my over abundance of love to whomever enters my path.

    Romance is the pleasurable feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love. In the context of romantic love relationships, romance usually implies an expression of one's love, or one's deep emotional desires to connect with another person. Wiki Definition

    We all want romance/love. The obstacle we face is who do we allow to romance/love us, but more importantly, who do we allow ourselves to romance/love.

    Romance definitely exist...

Silly twitter, tweets are for kids...and my enjoyment :)

Trending twitter topics are always interesting.  Answers from around the globe tickle my sides, and also cause full on belly laughter.  Currently one of them are #IveAlwaysWantedTo, to which the first one I seen was from: Evil_Dumbledore: #IveAlwaysWantedTo turn around in a big chair, and say "I've been expecting you..." Absolutely hilarious!  In fact, I'm going to do it at work tomorrow :).  So, what would my answer be?  I don't know.  I've done a lot in my life, and traveled all over, and had some pretty fun times...stuff that just kind of happened unexpected.  Also, I have done a lot on my life list that I created when I was eight; however, the last thing was to be president (not so much anymore).    Along with trending topics, you get to see the overall voice of people in general; which is to be accepted for who they are, and how they are viewed.  At times I have wished I could step outside of myself to see what other people see,...

Troll Feet

A week ago I received the keys to an apartment I have transferred to.  It took me four days to move everything from the old to the new.  I did have a beast of a friend who helped me out the first day (Friday) with my furniture, but for some reason it took three days for me to move the rest of my junk ten feet (the distance to my current apartment).  By the car load I transferred stuff, and it did not seem to make a difference.  In fact, I still have non perishable items in my car!  I just shift it around, to make way for the kiddies :)  However, back to the grueling past weekend.  Back and forth I drove and walked with arm loads and car loads of crap.  I wore flip flops, which were heard from 7 am to 11 pm, and bore the brunt of flat dry feet, that could have been mistaken for the soles of Frodo Baggins. On Saturday, somewhere during the upright state of the sun, and hottest part of the day, my daughter asks from the coolness of t...

Of Acquiescence and Patience

This past weekend, I took my kiddies on a nature walk at the National Wildlife Center .  We had not been in a while, and I decided to take them to see what interesting things occurs in nature following a rainfall.  The day was sunny, early and slightly hot...nonetheless, perfect.  We walked over a bridge, which was absent of water lilies or pads, and took note of the rise in the water level.  The gravel road seemed washed and remnants of a silt water path was still visible.  Eagerly, we walked to the trail that led into the trees. Along the woodland trail, we heard geese, seen herons, spiders and different types of mushrooms.  We continued to walk along the lake, as mosquitoes danced on us without biting, and everything seemed alive and wet.  When we turned around, Ari began to run ahead, and continued to pick up various sticks, until I noticed how one stick didn't seem too familiar up ahead.  As I yelled for her to stop, I looked at t...
