call me old fashioned....
 

I miss being acknowledged when I am checking out with my purchases.

I miss people being polite while walking or driving.

I miss having only a couple/few choices when deciding what to buy.


I miss meeting women in person first....then talking on the phone or otherwise.

.......you

I miss.... spending Sundays with my dad...getting up early for mass, then going for a drive in the country...listening to his old time rock n roll....telling me stories about when he was a kid.... good times :)

I miss my best friend.

I miss mine, too.

I miss going out to lunch with my BFF... I miss her face and the way she laughs and leaving for the craziness of our lives after our lunch with a smile knowing everything was going to be fine as long as we had these moments...

...fall in New England. I liked a page on facebook called "VisitNH - New Hampshire" and locals have been posting pictures of the fall foliage on there. It made me cry.

I grew up in Sterling, Massachusetts, a little town north of Worcester. My grandparents had a huge oak tree in front of their house (it's still there) and the amount of leaves it would drop seemed endless. Fall as a kid meant jumping in the leaves my siblings and I spent all day raking up just for a few minutes of fun. Then grandpa would eventually burn them. There is no smell like jumping in the leaves and the neighborhood all burning their leaves. When I smell ylang-ylang it takes me to that head-space for a second.


Fall in Tennessee isn't the same.

Sane conversations with my BFF.

Pajama days with the love of my life.

Family dinners at Mom's house.

Ren Fair, DragonCon, comic books, movies and sci-fi favorites.

Long, wine-tinted conversations about love, life and the universe.

Feeling at home in my own skin.

I miss the Carolinas...

I miss my favorite deli near my old job.....all this talk of gouda has sparked nostalgia....

AND


I will miss lilacs for an entire year...sigh...the season is far too short....just like football....which I also miss...

(w)

I miss...
 

the ocean, seeing the ocean, feeling the ocean, smelling the ocean, touching the ocean and the feel of the white sand.

I miss my memere.... I miss her cooking.... I wish she were still here... I never did get around to learning how to can.... :( Her birthday is in a few days...I guess that's where this is coming from....

I miss my wife. She in in Lake Tahoe for a fundraiser for cancer. Tomorrow she will embark on a 100 mile bike ride around the lake. Be safe , honey!

Another birthday..............

I will miss lilacs for an entire year...sigh...the season is far too short....just like football....which I also miss...

Ditto! Where in New England are you?

My dad

Soft kisses

Spooning

Lightening bugs

holding hands

kisses on top of his head

soft touches

mornings first kiss

Lately....
 

I miss pulling into a random convenience store...in another state....in the middle of the night....while doing a marathon road trip....

Moreover, I like having to ask the clerk where we are....just to be certain....

for a moment, I missed the comfort and intimacy of a boyfriend.

I miss...
being a kid and bon fires on the beach
that fluffy cat of my daughters :\ I want to bring him down here so bad
my nephews
my brother being a house down

HOPEFULLY we can manage a side trip on the way back from the Patriot's win in Atlanta!

I miss
 

The Leather Headboard.............

I miss him.

When I was in gradeschool, they didn't have lunchrooms and we all brought our lunch in paper bags or lunchboxes. I miss the lunch my mom sent with me to school and the possibility of having a peanut butter space-food snack in it.

I miss
 

The excitement
The intimacy
Kissing
Holding on as I sleep
Waking with the scent of us still in the air
Seeing the world through your eyes
Sleeping .......

I miss when music was everything.

I miss...

Getting chores done fast and walking to the bus stop to meet my friends as we rode off to the beach
Laying out on a lounge chair out by the pool, listening to the water fountain and the sounds of a little league game in the distance ...or...having the boy who lived across the fence come over and flirt with me, he he he
Opening the freezer and having array of snacks to choose from, ding dongs especially ( my father worked for a bakery at the time)
Riding my bike across town to my friends house so we could bother the boys all summer
Sleeping till noon, and then watching soaps all day
Going to the the beach at night to "catch grunion "... Or find trouble :)


And this was just teenage years..lol

I miss making the mayday baskets for my neighbors out of construction paper that I drew on and mom would let me pick flowers from the lilac bush and tulips and irises from the garden.

I miss...
 

I miss...

• my innocence
• the feel of childhood when there was no pressure, only opportunities to play, to find new adventures
• family members: my older sister, Kim; my grandmothers and grandfathers; my great aunts and great uncle
• North Carolina, the sights and smells of home
• Spending time with my dad-- sitting quietly, watching tv, not saying a word and feeling as though we had the BEST time together doing absolutely nothing-- I enjoyed every moment of it and look forward for the chance to do that again
• Watching my nephews grow up-- I wanna see those little boys become young men all over again and again and again
• Long, slow, deep, meaningful kisses; holding hands and tracing my thumb along the backs of her knuckles... "Her", wherever she is, when I find her
• my grandmother's chicken casserole and home-made brittle fudge-- the recipes were lost with her passing
• music, the rush of performing on stage or on the football field during marching band performances
• feeling as though there's a point to the chaos we call life
