today is for tie dye
to combat the overcast sky outside
I’m resurrecting Tie Dye Friday
just for today
‘cause a few years ago it made me grin
and got me through a rough spot
good old tie dye
in every color of the rainbow
turquoise and purple too
my favorite
and second favorite hue
now I’m wishin’ a Happy Tie Dye Friday to you!

The movie my husband and I saw yesterday afternoon was fun
I enjoyed it more than I expected to
Sweet romance/love story
Father/daughter baggage dealt with well
Though she looked too young to be his daughter
Oh, and the cussing was magnificent
I loved the cussing because that’s the place I’m in now, deftly peppering my conversation with properly placed swear words for emphasis added
The baseball didn’t detract from the sweet wooing and head over heels in love falling either
*happy sigh*

I peeked inside my wedding ring to see the engraving, “JMT – MTB 5-31-97”.
Yep. It’s today! Happy 15th Anniversary to my wonderful husband!
I love you and look forward to celebrating many more anniversaries together.

there are days you awake
with a sense of anticipation
today is one of those days
for me
my friends are coming over to play
we’re calling it A Planning Meeting
but under that Official Sounding Moniker
it’s a play date
for the women we are
artists and writers too
we’re having lunch
the four of us
fancy chicken salad and a veggie tray
with cookies and cake for dessert
maybe a walk afterwards
with the warmth of the sun
on a rare and wonderful 52˚ January day
rare for the Midwest anyway
my husband is teasing me
calling it a Cackle Party
he’s going out for lunch
instead of coming home
in the middle of his work day
after the daily drop off at 8:20 a.m.
to take my boys to school
I did some errands
just a few
I am home, by 10:00 a.m.
waiting for my friends
I smiled a serene smile
all through the grocery store
must of looked like
I was up to something
well, sometimes the happy shows
and oh, it feels so good
to be happy and hopeful
hello, 2012
so glad you’re here
it’s only day five
and I sort of love you
still grinning in anticipation here
watching the clock
’cause my friends are comin’ over
soon

the damn thing
about tears of joy is
when you have
tired eyes
those unexpected
happy tears
sting and burn
just like when
your heart
was hurting
as they fall
ouch
