This past week many words moved me. Some made me laugh, some warmed my heart and some gave me hope. Some were from a book, some I heard spoken on the radio, some I read in an email and some were conversations I had or over heard. They all stood out as special to me in one way or another.
Excerpt from Origin in Death by J.D. Robb -
....."Tell me you have proof."
"I not only have proof. I have three clones known as Avril Icove under house restriction."
Nadine goggled. "Well fuck me sideways."
"I've had a long day I'm too tired for sex games"... Eve Dallas
Excerpt from the same book and author -
"The traffic was mean as a constipated lion."

Email from my friend ShaSha:
Married, Engaged, Single! So Funny!
Three women friends, one in a casual relationship, one engaged to be married and one a long-time wife, met for drinks after work.
The conversation eventually drifted towards how best to spice up their
sex lives.
After much discussion, they decided to surprise their men by engaging in
some S&M role playing.
The following week they met up again to compare notes.
Sipping her drink, the single girl leered and said, 'Last Friday at the
end of the work day I went to my boyfriend's office wearing a leather
coat.
When all the other people had left, I slipped out of it and all I had
on was a leather bodice, black stockings and stiletto heels.
He was so aroused that we made mad passionate love on his desk right then and there!'
The
engaged woman giggled and said, 'That's pretty much my story! When my
fiance got home last Friday, he found me waiting for him in a black
mask, leather bodice , black hose and stiletto pumps.
He was so turned on that we not only had sex all night, he wants to
move up our wedding date!
The married woman put her glass down and said, 'I did a lot of
planning. I made arrangements for the kids to stay over at
Grandma's.. I took a long scented-oil bath and then put on my best
perfume. I slipped into a tight leather bodice, a black garter belt,
black stockings and six-inch stilettos. I finished it off with a black
mask.
When my husband got home from work, he grabbed a beer and the remote,
sat down and yelled, 'Hey, Batman, what's for dinner?''

Said by Star Wars Son to imom, in the car on the way to school Tuesday January 20, 2009.
"I'm so glad to be around for this historic day."

Conversation between Star Wars Son and his girlfriend Bri-Brute:
SWS: I've finally come up with a New Years resolution.
BB: What is it?
SWS: I've decided to be open to new things and experiences. I mean, instead of automatically saying no to new things I'll try them before I decide an opinion.
BB: I hope you start with trying new foods.
(I love BB! One day I'll blog about SWS and his "issues")

Spoken by President Barack Obama during his January 20, 2009 Inaugural speech.
"On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
On
this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false
promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long
have strangled our politics.
We remain a
young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set
aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring
spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious
gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the
God-given promise that all are equal, all are free and all deserve a
chance to pursue their full measure of happiness."

Excerpt from the Inaugural Poem, Praise Song for the Day by Elizabeth Alexander.
"We encounter each other in words, words
spiny or smooth, whispered or declaimed,
words to consider, reconsider."
