Hey, Michele!
No problem about the writing back - sometimes it takes me a few days too!
The "Listen" song that you mentioned is exactly the one I was referring to; maybe that’s why Cindy Morgan’s name sounds so familiar. I do know that I like some of Rebecca St. James’ songs. I think she sings one called "Pray" that I was considering trying as a solo at church, but no time soon! At the moment I don’t remember much about that song: it’s been a while since I’ve heard it.
I have a hair appointment this evening: WOO HOO! I’m very excited because my hair has a perm growing out of it from Feb 2000. Therefore, my hair is frequently frizzy and rarely good-looking. My sister assures me that this isn’t true but she just hates to see me unhappy and obsessing over it. This evening it will look good ever-so-briefly, and I will take pictures and pretend this is its natural state! Our Singles class is going out to eat this evening - hopefully one of them will take a picture also! We were supposed to go play putt-putt (i.e. miniature) golf, but it’s been raining here just about all week.
Yesterday, I woke up with a wickedly bad sore throat. I came to work but I was so cold, achy and tired - and I still had a sore throat - that I asked if I could leave. I went home and rested. I feel a bit better today, but my throat is very dry/borderline sore. I will still go out to eat with the others - I cannot disappoint my public. (lol) Tomorrow I plan to relax.
Your book sounds very good and very realistic! I will definitely buy a copy WHEN it is published! I think a teenager would resent someone not much older than she/he dating her/his father. And I’m sure that any 22 year old’s mother would be against her dating a 39 year old. I think that love shouldn’t be limited by age. (Perhaps I say that because I don’t have children particularly children who are dating…)
I thought your co-workers, remarks about Arnold Vosloo were funny! No one that I know ever seems to like "my" guys either! You are braver than I am: I don’t usually mention my crushes especially my celebrity crushes to my friends and acquaintances. I’m not ashamed of them, of course, I just don’t think they would fully understand or appreciate my special …. what’s the word …. LOVE!
Speaking of which, one of my friends is trying to set me up with her friend’s brother. My friend lives out of town; after I haven’t heard from her for weeks, she finally emails me. Does she ask how I am or about my family? No! She launched right away into "Okay, Penny and I were talking, and you are going to have to call her brother because he thinks we’re pulling a prank on him." (Does this type of thing ever happen to you: pushy friends and geeky brothers?) She basically described him as "okay." (Well, let me call him right away!!) She closed the email with "Let me be in the wedding!" As I read that my skin literally crawled! I fully have NO intention of calling this individual. The most insulting part is wondering if THIS is how well she thinks I can do! I’m thinking, "Well *maybe* I could *possibly* have David Boreanaz." She’s thinking that her friend’s younger brother is more my speed.
That’s about it for now; talk to you later! Have a great weekend! God bless!
Anne
