DISQUS

i know that this sounds cliche, but put a smile on your face. the other night a bunch of girls and i went out to celebrate our 40th birthdays. we were all dressed up and had a great time. the whole night i walked around and i just smiled at everyone that i made eye contact with. it really made a difference in the way people reacted to me. look, i am married for 15 yrs. and i was not "looking for love", however smiling at people is no crime and no matter what you have on or what label you shoes are, the first thing people look at is your face and if has a smile on it, you will look fabulous!!!!!!!!!!

being a wife and mother is right for me. i love my life and would not trade it for anything.

i have the darkest brown eyes. they are almost black, and i have always wanted green eyes. the greenest green that they could be.

i do not watch much tv but the 2 shows that i do watch i really enjoy. we do not get to the movies much and the 2 hours a week that i tune in are very entertaining for me.

carpool lines!!!!!!!!!! i would like to drive right up to the door every morning and drop my son off without having to wait in line.

the best book for relationships that i'e read is "light his fire" by ellen kreidman. i cannot say enough about ellen or her series of books.

i go with my gut, if it feels right, i just go with it. i try not to over think things.

i have certain beliefs and values that i follow and when put to the test i would hope that i would be able to stick to. people can say what they want but, until faced with a situation you do not know what you will do. talk is cheap.

i would love 1000 thread count sheets for my bed, 100% down pillows, no feathers only down. i would also like a sofa with down cushions and pillows. i would love to curl up and read and in either one of these places.

my favorite mistake taught me how to love again and not be so cynical.

i find a sense of humor and someone who can make me laugh until i almost wet my pants, very sexy. looks are great, i love a nice chest, but can you make me laugh when the chips are down?

the clutter that is in my life right now is all of the drama that my friends seem to think is so important. i love my friends but please!! i think that some people invent things just to have something to talk about. it is exhausting.

i want my home to say take off your shoes and get comfortable.

anything written by hugh prather. his words are emotional and they make sense.

with me what you see is what you get. i do not play games. i believe in first impressions and i go with my gut. i have had the same friends for 20+ years and we do not take each other for granted. i am happy with my self and my life and that is enough for me.

i am italian and is customary to give money to the couple. i know that it sounds impersonal, but is is kind of expected and very welcomed.

I FALL IN LOVE WITH THE WORLD THRU THE EYES of my son. he is 9yrs. old and when he sees things for the first time, his eyes light up and he gets so excited. kids have this way about them when they are little that can change you from unhappy to wonderful in a split second. see thru the eyes of a child for one day and it will change your life.

my husband is taking me to nyc for my birthday next weekend. he has never been there and i am looking forward to experiencing the city with him for the first time.

hi, it has always been a dream of mine to write a book. i am a cancer survivor. when i was 19, i am now 39, i had a brain tumor. i have always wanted to write about it and my experience. other than just go ahead an write, can you give me any advice?

i did not expect this however, one day out of the blue, my husband thanked me for being his wife. he also thanked me for being a great mother to our son. i thought to myself that if i am never thanked again for anything, that's okay with me because i had just received the only thank you i will ever need.

hi, i bet that if you STOPPED doing all of these things for 1 week, he would thank you. you do too much. marriage is a 2 way street and you are driving down a 1 way. i am thanking you for being honest. i am sure that it took alot for you to write that and you sound like you needed to get it off of your chest. thank you.

my gut. it has never steered me wrong. everyone has a feeling that tells them 2 things. "this is right" or "this is wrong" we all should go with that feeling.

i agree. i think that i can protect my son from harm, but can i really when there are so many sickos out there?

i am afraid of someone kidnapping my son. i see these movies and they scare me to death. i watch him like a hawk when we are out in the mall or in the grocery. there are sick people in the world and it scares me.

I AM AFRAID OF SOMETHING
