I’m Posting Every Day in 2011!

Wow!  This is so cool!  Tonight, I decided to go tag surfing to check out other bloggers.  I surfed on over to Not Pretending(to be Sane) which is an awesome blog!  Be sure to check out her “Top 10 Best Words Ever.” Also, her “The One That Got Away” post.  It is hilarious.  I noticed that she had a button on her side bar about participating in a post a day.  I wanted to learn more so I clicked the button.  This led me to The Daily Post which is another awesome blog!  I’ve decided I want to blog more.  Rather than just thinking about doing it, I’m starting now.  I will be posting on this blog once a day for all of 2011.

I know it isn’t going to be easy, but I believe it is going to be fun, inspiring, awesome and wonderful.  Therefore, I’m promising to make use  The Daily Post, and the community of other bloggers with similar goals, to help me along the way, including asking for help when I need it and encouraging others when I can.

If you already read my blog, I hope you’ll encourage me with comments and likes, and good will along the way.

Facebook Status Updates

Status updates that I used on Facebook recently that friends liked the most.

 

 

Feel free to use them for your own updates!

1. I hate it when cops throw you in the back of the squad car like they did not EVEN hear you call shotgun!
2. I may not be a good example…..  but I make one hell of a great warning!
3. Roses are red.  Violets are blue.  Friend requests are good.  But who the hell are you?
4. I’ve changed the lock on my heart.  You can stick the old key up your a$$!  Smile, I’m sure someone loves you.
5. I love being single because I am always there when I need me!
6. Most people even under ideal conditions have trouble locating their car keys from their pockets, locating their cell in a purse, or pinning the tail on the donkey– but I would bet that everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 ft away in about 1.7 seconds.  Eyes closed!
7. Milestone alert:  This is my 100th post from a toilet…… and I would like to thank the fine people at McDonalds for making it all possible.
8. Do you think maybe God made our buttcracks up and down because if they were sideways when we went down a slide it would sound like bufufufufuflubflubflub……??   Things that make you go hhhhmmmmm!
9. We use 300 muscles to keep our balance when we stand, the length of a man’s penis is 3x’s the length of his thumb, and the femur is hard as concrete.  A woman has read this entire post already.  A man is still looking at his thumb……. Sorry guys!
10. The first person to complain about the heat this summer will be bitchsmacked!

I hope you enjoy them!  Let me know if you have any good ones of your own that you want to share!  As we are always looking for the perfect status!

Valentine’s Day Poems

Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. What a great day to learn some poetry. Following is a list that I found of the top 10 greatest love poems ever. Be sure to check them out and surprise your love with some poetry.

Why? Because, I love you!

Angry with me,
angry with you,
helpless and confused,
what do I do?
I sent you away,
then realized my love,
how much I miss you
with each passing day.
I’ve tried to be mad.
I’ve tried to forget.
But memories of you
they just won’t quit.
I shouldn’t lie beside you now.
You deserve more
than my life will allow.
When the morning sun does rise,
I will gaze once more into your eyes.
I’ve got to get my own life together
before I can promise another forever.
My God!
How I don’t want to let you go!
It is you that I love so!
Never did I want to cause you pain
or make you feel my love is vain.
I will leave you in the morning
and get my life straight.
I will be back.
I pray not too late.
I will hold out my hand
to my lover, my friend
and pull you to my side
atop this mountain
that we must climb.
Why?
Because, I love you!

A Letter To You

Thoughts of you consume my mind.  I can’t seem to do anything else.  Different scenes from days gone by.  We parted.  Yet, my love for you still lasts.  I have tried so hard to make myself believe that I did not love you anymore.  I tried to make myself believe that my love had turned to hate.  I tried so hard to forget your face in the faces of another.  Three years later, I sat alone and wondered if you knew I left.  Did you know that I still loved you?  What if for one of us tomorrow did not come and I never got to tell you?  I wrote you a letter.  I told you that my love for you was still as strong as it was in the beginning.  I told you I did not leave you because I wanted another.  I told you that I left you because I could no longer take the pain of watching you leave to go home to another.  Six long years of broken promises that shattered my heart to pieces.  I told you that maybe it was not fair that I expected you to begin your life anew.  Maybe that was not what you wanted to do at your age.    Though, I thought myself and our daughter deserved to have you to ourselves.  After the anger subsided and time healed my pain, I thought it unfair of me to expect you to begin again so I walked away and it’s o.k.  We talked and talked.  You spent the night and as we laid down to sleep with your arms around me.  Silently, I began to cry because your arms around me felt as good as it always did.  I had missed that even more than I knew.  The days that followed felt so good.  Then, I received that phone call from a friend telling me that tragic news.  I was faced with never seeing you ever again.  I prayed for God to allow more time.  I thank God because he did and to our God I am so grateful.  All our problems that angered me in the past suddenly seemed so petty as compared to a world with out you.  Let us make the most of time we have left to get it right this time.  I love you and you love me.  Let us make God proud and be a family with the daughter we created.  If we do not show our daughter, I’m afraid she will never know what it is like to have her mother and father together.  It is our time to live and to love and to give her what she has not seen – a family.  For when you leave this world for good, I know there will never be another.  No one could ever take your place or ever begin to fill your shoes.  Why must we continue to live a lie apart when we know we could be living in love together!

Love Always,

Me

My Favorite Mistake

Smile

Years ago,

I would never believe

there would ever be

a you and a me.

Through the years

we were friends

brought together

by one's tragic end.

I loved her

like no other

such a special girl.

She was your daughter.

As time passed on,

we walked through life

running in to the other

from time to time.

Then one day

we met again

and I became

your secret friend.

Though I knew

our love was wrong

for you had another

and you and I had a daughter.

Older and wiser

no longer together.

We both love her

She is very special.

When I think of you

I sit and smile.

I have no regrets

Your place in my heart

no one can ever take

You will always be

my favorite mistake……… I still love you!
