It was THAT perfect . . .

He picked you up ON TIME and brought you pink roses.  He held open the door, pushed in your chair as you sat and let you order first . . . 

Was it that perfect?  Did you laugh for the entire date?  Or did you wonder why your sister set you up with this loser?  Did you make an instant "love connection" or did it take a couple tries to get it right? 

On your first date with your significant other, what did you do and what was it like?  (photo credit)

Is it Fate or just a Fling

Boy do we have a hot topic for you today. We also have a fabulous feature blogger. Ms. Baby Plan at The Baby Plan submitted this topic:

Although you love your husband, something has changed between the two of you and lately you have started to fantasize about a guy at work. In your heart you know you still love your spouse, but you cannot help how you are feeling about this new person. You really start to believe it is love. At home, you become distant and start behaving strangely. You tell one of your best friends how you feel. Together you start to observe this guy to see if he has any feelings for you.

The chance comes and you find yourself telling this person how much you like him. Lucky you. He likes you too... as a friend. He goes on to say that you are great but he does not want to ruin his relationship.

If you are really hardcore head over heels for him, what do you understand from his statement,"does not want to ruin his relationship [with you]"?

What do you do after that episode and why? Lets go wild with our minds and chat.

When you think of them

If you've read my blog, you know I love to reminisce about life and the people who have touched me along the way.  The awful truth about life is the longer you live, the more people you will lose.  I lost my mom when I was 19 years old. I miss her so much, but what I love to think about was our happy times together. How do you like to remember the people you've lost?  Do you have a fond memory or an experience with a lost loved one?

I'll share one of mine that tickles me pink.  I had to be about 12 or 13 years old.  I was walking down the hallway of our home from my bedroom to either the family room or the kitchen (can't remember).  As I turned the corner to continue down the hall, I saw my mother in the dining room trying to grab a casserole dish out of the hutch.  She dropped it.  Then she dropped the S-bomb.  I gasped because I had never heard her curse before.  She looked up at and smiled.  You know that smile.  She sheepish grin of someone who just got caught.  We never spoke about it and I never heard her curse again, but in that moment, we made an unspoken vow to keep the secret (oops . . . now I've told the blog world).

So what's you fond memory? Funny story? Favorite way to remember your lost loved one?
