I just posted a few lines from a great movie I saw this past weekend.  I hope I gave credit properly.  I loved these lines because I think it relates very well how I feel about FINALLY finding my soulmate in middle age and wishing I had been with him all along.

Dev... good try baby.... good try... I'm not even gonna MENTION the fact you still owe me for the last painting of mine you found in your letter box, never trust a guy who promises chocolates.<BR>
(shakes her head)<BR>
<BR>
Turns out a work friend saw the painting on my desk while I was away and decided that if she pinned it to the wall by her desk I might not notice it was gone, she didn't know I had plans to frame it. LOL.<BR>
<BR>
I'm going to post the new draft of my sweeter than sweet poem, I know it means I'll be kicked from the competition, but my sweetheart and I re-worked it, and he say's its so sweet now that it'll make ya eyeballs sticky (ewww....)<BR>

take care of your hearts, <BR>

Hey all you Blendrites!<BR>
<BR>
I just wanted to say thanks for this awesome place to be able to express myself.  I was introduced to it by my exboyfriend, very early in our relationship.  We posted poems for each other, and that's how I got my name, Smiling Kat, from a poem he wrote about me.  Anyway, I was really down after the break-up, but I realized today that I'm just meant to be single right now.  It's time for me to pamper myself a little bit; to rediscover who I really am.  It's sooo exciting to finally realize this!!!  I posted my last poem today, because this is now a part of my past, and I'm moving on.  Thanks for the occasional comment and feedback.  Maybe I'll visit again someday.  Keep up the awesome work, and keep expressing your feelings!!!!<BR>

Hey everbody...<BR>
<BR>
I've been a bit under the weather so I've been pretty absent of late. But I had to bring this news to the Blender. Our own elven queen, Gala is one of the featured poets in the Poetry Webring's special St. Valentines Day issue. I've been there, and it is presented beautifully!<BR>
<BR>
Here is the link, and the journal officially goes public Thursday, but is up right now:<BR>

Congrats Gala, you have done very well!<BR>
