but pencil in the eight o'clock meeting after therapy and don't forget to pick up socks I think I saw the ones she likes at that place that celebrates shoes and all the things she hates like glitter eyes that blink, and hey? If you want red beans and rice sausages, in links, and I prefer andouille as you know but anything will do - I know - you're tired but go anyway I called the plumber yesterday and hey you need to call the bank-- they said someone had filled their tank using your identity and "yes-I'll-sign-the-papers-please" but I am not an idiot if we are returned this sum we paid too much, again, this year. But I won't argue, dear. I won't. But watch me rub my head. And oh, before you go, can you take your son to practice too I know it is a pain in ass but at least he takes the amp and I don't have to field his calls or watch him madly climbing walls as he plays the song I mind sweet child o mine "Sweet Child of Mine" Sometimes I rub my head and smile But most times? I do not. I'm going to need certificates of birth and school and marriage(s) and I don't know where you filed me so if you would, before you sleep? Find them in the file you have and do you have my resume'? With copies of accomplishment if anyone would know Soule' after all these years? I rub my head and think. I'm trying to remember if there was something on my list that I have forgotten - it's bothering tonight. Did Fred get his medicine? Annie needs to see the vet. That mole keeps growing on her leg. Aaron Neville is upset because her mole looks just like his and even that is lawlessness as he forgot the copyright: Collectively, say, "tsk...again?" as no one rubs his head... OH. We bought another year of satellite tv but there's a package that came with the deal a dollar for the starz and here is the mail that came today Entergy "I'm sorry, babe" I know how that one hurts. I watch him rub his head. There's something nagging I forgot like something underlined in "ought" and damn, you know it's bugging me - I made a list efficiently and crossed each item off the list wondering what thing I missed and oh-my-goddess, my dismay I talked and talked and didn't say "Happy Valentine" to you. But watch me rub my head... |

Karen....you sure tied it together with head rubbing...liked that....and the honesty that you always write with always impresses me. Also, the rhythm and rhyme that is your trademark...is wonderful in this.  |

What a magnificent piece of work Karen. You have gleaned beauty from "everyday life" and you have done it so well. |

Thank you. I wanted to write the ordinary daily valentine--the special things that are so common we tend to disregard them... So yep, I thought a day of stress, with no other promise made than that of getting up and doing it all over again, with no apparent recompense would make a good subject for Valentine's Day. Besides, I was outta construction paper and doilies.  Much love to you all, and I know you all have some there somewhere--just look.  Happy Valentine's Day. |

I think I'd rub my head... if my hands weren't busy applauding. *S* Overwhelmed never looked so good. *S* |

Ya know K, no one can do this quite like you do it gal. It's not just the way you make it rhyme or even how you always manage to get your point across well.... it's how you make it FLOW with such perfection. I loved this and ummmm yeah, my heads a little sore from havin one of those head rubbing kind of days to.... seek the flame within yourself |
