I love introducing my daughters

I love introducing my daughters
to the fun stuff of my youth. I love it more that they are even interested. We
watched "The Princess Bride" this weekend. They are now trotting around the
house quoting the same things that we all have. I forgot how pretty Robin
Wright-Penn is. I think the last good movie I saw her in was Forest Gump. I love
Mandy Patinkin. His greatest role was the neurotic doctor on Chicago Hope (the
only reason I watched that show in it's first two years). Six years ago I read
the book. I laughed the children out of their slumber. I enjoyed knowing the
details that the movie left out for time sake. E received a burned CD of The
Return of the King soundtrack from a friend. Now, I have two Annie Lenox CD's on
my kitchen counter right now and have had them there for about six months. Her
newest, Bare, is soooooo good. My favorite track is "Wonderful." I turn it up
loud and clean, chop, cook, and croon (and sip). The girls thought her cover
photo a little strange, even though I gave it a beautiful interpretation, they
just aren't there yet. Well, guess who has now acquired an interest in Annie?
Revisiting the Briggs-Meyers personality test this weekend has been fun. I love
understanding people and their clockwork. After taking the on-line test, I would
suggest reading the book, Please Understand Me. It gives in-depth descriptions
of the types. No, not everyone is everything. There are variations. No one is in
a box (Introverts may now stop hyperventilating). I like the tests because they
help me better understand myself and R. I don't want to spend our time together
trying to change the other into ourselves, but to gain insight to the intrinsic
value that the other brings to the relationship. Opposites attract. R and I both
drink coffee, but we are as different in our choice of coffee as we are when
naked. R is more practical, his choice is Folgers, extra water. My choice is
freshly ground Starbucks Breakfast Blend (or Einstein Bros. when I can get it)
perfectly measured, and, of course, loaded with cream. R- any sheets, no
flowers, as long as it they are clean. Me- minimum 300 thread count, 100%
cotton. R- towels clean, color not important, and the threads a little rough
from a day on the line. Me- 100% Egyptian cotton, and nothing beats a freshly
washed spa-white bath sheet. R-paperback preferred as is cheaper Me- hardback
preferred as lasts longer (plus extra treat of dust jacket). We both agree that
good food is better than a burger, but will take the burger if starving. In
other words, not picky when absolutely famished. I think that R is just 100% man
in that quality applies to three things: cars, stereo equipment, and his wife.
And after all, isn't this all that really matters: Going where you want,
listening to what you wish, and loving the one you're with. Opposite attraction
makes for complete satisfaction. O.K. am now waiting for call from
Hallmark......
