This is all....

"Wow"

So, I remembered a cute story of the beginning of "Brady and Laura."  If you are bitter towards sappy love memoirs, exit screen now... but stay tuned if you like to make fun of Brady. 

First of all, Brady and I dated for almost 3 months before he ever kissed me.  You may think this makes him a wimp, but really I wouldn't let him.  My face was always far, far and away on purpose.  I didn't know if I really liked him yet, and didn't want to lead him on... but wanted to make sure he knew I was still interested so I kept saying "yes" to the dates.

(Note: This is not typical for ladies to really mean this.  They are usually looking for free dinner or don't know how to let you down.  Just because you read this post, don't think that that hot girl you keep asking out who keeps saying yes but doesn't act like she likes you, will marry you someday.  I would hate to encourage that kind of behavior. It is creepy.)

Anyhooters, (that's from my sister), the first time Brady kissed me I had reached a point of, 

"Well, he will kiss me and I will really like it... and like him more... or he will kiss me and be TERRIBLE at it and it will be the biggest turn off and at least I will know to tell him bye-bye."

So it happened, the big smooch, and surprise, surprise... he was REALLY good!!!

(Sorry to siblings, cousins, parents, guy friends, whoever that just got this "gross" piece of information.)

After a moment of the lip-lock Brady pulled away, his eyes still closed and said, quite loudly, 

"WOW."

And went back in for another.

A moment later as I was reflecting on the magical moment, I commented something like, 

"So I was that good of a kisser huh? You had to say 'Wow?' "

And his response was, 

"Huh?"

He had no idea or recollection that he had stated this triumphant elation at all, or out loud.

Sometimes it is nice to reflect times like those, when he made me feel like a super-model.  

(Sometimes, he still does.)

food for thought

First of all, my apologies for no new posts in the past two weeks. School is back in and life is crazy again.

Yesterday as I waited in line to buy my Banquet Tv dinner at Albertson's, I noticed the lady in front of me and all the extravagant delicious groceries she was purchasing. Luscious apples, delectable pears, mangoes, grapes, wonderful cuts of beef, moist pastries of all sorts. As my mouth watered, my mind flashed forward to the future. I envisioned a life where my cuisine doesn't revolve around 'whatever's cheapest' and I may actually have the ability to eat what I'd like. No more budget meat, no more lean cuisine dinners. I may actually one day be able to afford to cook my own chicken, pasta, and delicious vegetables and wrap them into a delicious home cooked meal. No more Sam's choice sugar free apple juice, Dole 100% apple juice here I come. No more Dr. Thunder, Dr. Pepper here I come! Sushi will be more than a once a month all you can eat extravaganza. Ah yes, the future is mine as I won't always be a dead ass broke just married college student!
