Sa-a-a-ad movies always make me cry . . .

I think Hallmark does it on purpose . . . the seasonal movies tug and tug at the heartstrings – and then the waterworks start. It’s bad enough that I cry while watching Hallmark commercials.

No, not really complaining. I knew it would happen and still turned to the channel featuring Christmas in November. And, yes, I loved it.

It helps that I love, love, LOVE Sam Eliot. Sigh.

Would it be unseemly
for me to kiss you?
for me to enjoy your caress?
for me to want even more?
for me to love you less today
than I will love you tomorrow?

Would it be unseemly
for me to shed my cares
when in your presence?
for me to shed my modesty
when facing your eyes-
your desire each night?

Would it be unseemly
or simply a matter of
Loving
of growing old together
of joyous abandon
a sign of us being ONE?

Would it be unseemly
to not care
what others might
think
what others might
see?

Sister Maureen stepped away from the cheeky teen girls.

“Little twits”, she thought. “I AM better than you – if my father had not decided I had a heavenly calling I’d be married now and living in luxury. Instead I must witness your unseemly giggles and snide comments daily.”

Maureen sighed, adjusted her glasses, rang the bell and called the girls back in for afternoon studies.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends!

Here’s a little peek into what we’ve made a Saturday habit this November: it’s NANOWRIMO time. Lessa and Peppermist are taking part . . . I tag along to make fun of, erm, help them – yeah, THAT’s the ticket – HELP them.
🙂

I take pictures, offer suggestions for names for those pesky characters who simply MUST join in on the fun, wipe tears and offer giggles . . . I am the support system for the lessapeppernanogirls. Yes, yes, I am.

Did I mention I take pictures?

Here are the writers in full NANO-mode . . . add in some coffee and they are happy campers. Love Funky Monkey atmosphere and coffee. You should join us – you don’t even need to be writing – you can help me in the aforementioned support mode.

Yeah, support, yeaaaaaahhh . . . oooh, break for lunch. What are we having – and arent you wishing you had joined us now?
