Raindrops on Roses

"When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember

books, sparkling cider, chicken con broccoli from Olive Garden, handwritten letters on personalized stationery, books, game shows, books, caramel apples, granola bars, adidas running shoes, museums, books, flowers, jewellery, scented candles, corny jokes, cultural exploration, sour cream, fireplaces, plays, caramel appletinis, grapes, poetry, white chocolate Twix ®, quaint tea shops, sexual activity, classical music, key lime pie, thank you notes, perfectly coordinated and accessorized outfits, cereal bars, travelling, learning, smoothies at the café with the ladies, Ghana, endless conversations, the colour blue, psychology, piercings, caramel syrup, writing, magic, fetes, lasagna, fruit juice, rainy days, baby cousins, critical thinking, mushy love scenes, smelling gas at the gas station, cuddly comforters, wuking up, cosmetics, books, getting mail, cute pjs, puns, pedicures, books…

And then I don't feel so bad!"

    "My name is Liesl, and I don't need a governess!"

    "I am 16 going on 17..." Where is my Rolf?

    So many of the things you listed there I like... :) Substitute the colour blue for purple...Hugs and kisses and biting close friend's arms, watermelon and Cyprus cheese, kebabs, making someone special smile and laugh, doing something nice for someone...just because...and not wanting anything in return-and knowing you can't get anything in return anyways...so just because...

    Waiting to meet someone in person for the first time that you connect with online :) Not in a Dateline kinda way though hahaha!

    Classic Twix is really my favourite chocolate V, but in a cruel twist of irony, I'm allergic to all forms of milk/dark chocolate,cocoa etc. so when I discovered that they started producing a white chocolate version...I had a few um...spasms...

    I didn't even know there was a white chocolate version...Twix was the staple in France boy...we were militant with the chocolate machine in the building...

    I think the day I am allergic to any sort of food, I will just slit my wrists...then and there...You made me dig up my Sound of Music VHS and now the hills are alive!

    Hmmm, wonder if I should mention that I'm allergic to cheese too? read: pizza, macaroni pie, cheesecake, quiche etc. Along with allergies to
    citrus fruits
    cranberries
    cola extract
    acerola (Bajan) cherries...
