About Me

My photo
Should I NOT wear a tutu in my thirties or admit that on (not so) rare occassions I eat frosting with a spoon? Should I NOT dress up in Christmas decorations and burst into the CEO's office looking like a reject from Whoville to wish her a Merry Christmas... or toast life with a purple polka dotted champagne glass (filled with orange juice) before 9 am in the office? Maybe I shouldn't but I like to think that it's part of my charm!

We Believe!

Intriguing, captivating, magical... that is what life should be!  And... it is why I love movies like Bednobs and Broomsticks and The Chronicles of Narnia.  There really ought to be special places and privileges for the very clever among us!  Those who have the eyes to see, ears to hear and creativity to imagine that there really is more than meets the eye in life...  I like to think I am one such person! 


Years ago I inherited a mug... a simple white mug from a roommate.  On the front is the outline of a bride and the simple words, "We believe".  This is IT! I thought when I first saw the mug!  I will drink from this cup and believe... and believe I did! Every saturday morning, I would pour a luxurious cup of coffee and sit in the quiet of the morning... Believing!  


About a year later (still single, of course), I inherited two things that I thought might be key to transporting me into the magical world of marriage... my first big girl bed (and by that I mean I graduated from a twin size bed to a full size bed at the age of... 31) and my grandmother's engagement ring!  


I donned the ring, filled the mug and sat on the bed... and waited for my husband to appear... Nothing happened...  and now I think I know why... the final piece of the puzzle has recently emerged... what was missing you ask... the scent of pumpkin pie!  Apparently men are 40% more attracted and aroused when they smell pumpkin pie than when they do not smell pumpkin pie!


So now I sit... on the bed, with the ring, the mug and my pumpkin scented candle... just waiting for my husband to emerge!


Believing!
