Heartbeats

I am sitting at the other end of the table.

I turn my head to hear what you have to say;

Your blue eyes penetrate my heart and soul.

I smile.

You catch my eye and smile in half sentence.

You are mine. I am yours.

My heartbeats.

A helpful hint if I were you i would find a different way to put "sit seats" play around with it "rest seats" ect. Just a idea, either way it powerful and well written.

Lady of Lake Merritt =P Jul 21, 2009, 4:29am EDT

Oh how sweet. Usually when I stare intensely into my hubby's eyes he bonks me on the head. He has some issues with properly showing his emotions.

d d. Jul 21, 2009, 8:30am EDT

lol on the bonking..that may be his sign of affection. My oldest son is the quietest of all the boys...I thought that he had a hard time showing his affection, but now when ever he gets off the phone..he says "i love you" before I do...It touches my heart more than he will ever know.

When we are watching tv, my husband will take my hand in his hand and rub his thumb over the top of my hand. it is those little things that have a deeper connection than a mouthful of words.
thank you for feeling it.

Hello my friend... long time no talk. thank you for your sweet words.

what have you been up to? I went to the casino last night. we get there and my girlfriend hasn't eaten all day, so all she wants to do is eat. we go and eat. and then find that almost every penny slot is taken. so i played a couple that were not so much fun. foxwoods gave me a free 10.00 and I was able to play that for an hour. we then ran to the show and then home. I did walk away with 3.00 ... woooo! my friend ended up taking out money at the casino and though she only lost .15, she had a 3.95 atm fee.... so I gave her my 3.00 winnings... I felt bad, she should have just borrowed money from me, she could have paid me back later... I hate those atm fees.

Michelle S. Aug 3, 2009, 8:08pm EDT

going to the casino is more of a fun, people watching adventure for me lately. go with little money; come home with less!! lol

what show did you see?

not much happening around here. just trying to stay sane!! i'm not spending as much time online. it's making it hard to keep up with friends on gather. i'm going to add you & a couple others to my email feed, so i can keep up. you've posted a couple things that i missed.

so how's life in boston?? :)

d d. Aug 3, 2009, 8:30pm EDT

we went to see cirque du soleil: Illuminations. If you have seen any of the cirque shows...this one was less high tech and more low key.

last week, my husband was on vaca. normally we go away, but he didn't find out until the week before... so we did some day trips up to maine, NH etc.. He was able to golf twice.

It has been very humid here...tommorrow it will be "extremely humid" and the next day "oppressive" as told by the newscaster. So, I will be putting around inside my home... maybe I'll paint.

Michelle S. Aug 4, 2009, 11:33am EDT

what are you painting?

i think day trips are great. you get away & relax but don't have to go very far. that's why we go to niagara when ever we can!! :)

d d. Aug 4, 2009, 11:47am EDT

i'm ending a few paintings..... two with lily pads in it... I have not been inspired lately.... need to work on it.

this weekend, we are heading to cape cod to the falmouth road race. my husband and boys run it for one of my girlfriends father, who passed away from diabetes. This is the 10th year memorial anniversary... My oldest son, who is living down there...requested a free dinner. So, we'll try to see him too.

Michelle S. Aug 4, 2009, 11:59am EDT

lily pads are wonderful. water & a flower all rolled into one. peaceful!!

it's great that your guys participate in the run. how does one go about requesting a free dinner??!?! :)

d d. Aug 4, 2009, 2:23pm EDT

Rules to get a Free Dinner: (First step is KEY!) First, you have to find the man and the women that wears their hearts on their sleeves. Then you have to have to say "will you have free time to meet for dinner?" with puppy dog eyes. Then you wait quietly, for the man and women to completely rearrange their busy weekend schedule filled with road race activities... and that's how you get a free dinner. oh, ps. the man and the woman knows that it doesn't mean free dinner for one, they know that one comes with three 6'2" roommates with stomachs so grand that a refridge can fit in.

Michelle S. Aug 4, 2009, 3:08pm EDT

you are such a good mom!!!! :)

they always come with roommates, don't they???

d d. Aug 4, 2009, 3:39pm EDT

I cooked for these same boys since they were in 7th grade (basketball buddies). Every friday from 7th grade to senior year, dinner was at my house. Then one friday, at a basketball game, one of the boys mothers said to me "stop feeding my son, he is playing slow today." And that's when I decided to stop. "i'm sorry, but I don't force your son to eat my food. So the next weekend, I told the boys "some of your mother's complained that you were slow on the court for eating too much." all of the boys except for the one with the real "mother" if you know what i mean, asked "was it my mom?" Finally, I said to the one boy, "did your mother happen to mention what she said to me?" He said "I couldn't help it, it was all so good."

Michelle S. Aug 4, 2009, 4:07pm EDT

awww. you really are a great mom!!!! you have adopted kids, too.
that says so much about a person when your kids friends are at your house as much as your own are. what a good story d d!!!!! hugs :)

d d. Aug 4, 2009, 6:08pm EDT

thank you for the hugs. I should have probably just sent their parents a bill at the end of the year. :)

Michelle S. Aug 4, 2009, 6:19pm EDT

maybe the one mom would have appreciated what you were doing if you had sent her a bill!!! lol :)

d d. Aug 4, 2009, 6:39pm EDT

exactly...

I am so tired today..i'm not sure if i'll make it to 10pm...

Michelle S. Aug 4, 2009, 8:18pm EDT

maybe you shouldn't wait til 10!! go to bed. your body is trying to tell you to take a break!! :)

d d. Aug 4, 2009, 9:17pm EDT

you're right... My hubby just landed in houston... I just picked up my son from ref. class. My middle son is jammin' with his band... so now I can rest and sort of wait up for my middle son to return home.
