Misti - Loved - <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.06.03.22.19.10093">June 29th</a> - had this little scene playing in my head when I read it <BR>
<BR>
Vishal - glad to see that you're unblocked, good one.<BR>
<BR>
Angieubaldo - *Smile* You seem to be confusing me with the Queen. Buckingham is nowhere near the Palace in London, its a very very very small town between Oxford and Milton Keynes.<BR>
<BR>
Wordley - Dotty P's!!! My god, that shop is run by the Fashion clones! Anyway, twas a peaceful hippy festival and in the end I didnt need to worry about clothes. I just went naked with a flower stuck in every orifice. (hubby played marvelously too)

Misti hon,<BR>
<BR>
          You hit on it. With EVERYTHING I do, and am, I am judged by how neat my house is more than anything. And have I balanced the checkbook lately---and yes, I did remember thirty things---but I forgot to do ten---so points will be lost...<BR>
<BR>
         Just FYI I am damned proud that you are lead teacher---and I wish Desi could have had YOU for that sort of thing. <BR>

First of all many congrads to all the front page picks! And second...Happy early birthday to Jon! I could almost say the same about my birthdate but I have to put the one in the middle. 619 Anyway...about writing, someday soon perhaps but that's all on a pause for now. I'll add some as soon as I can. I must say though, I have really enjoyed all of your latest ones! <BR>
<BR>
Lots of love and luck to all...it's off to work for me now!<BR>

I just heard the most incredible music lesson on NPR on rhythms. If you love music you must hear this!<BR>

Bob Brozman has made a life of traveling the world's islands, learning about each island's culture and music, then bringing it back to the United States in the form of recorded sessions with island musicians. Tuesday on All Things Considered, Bob Brozman talks about the CD Dig Dig, and about the music of la Réunion, east of Africa in the Indian Ocean. <BR>
<BR>
It's incredible!

Jon and Jennifer - hey, 6/9 and 619, and I was born in 69, marvelous numbers. (and being a maths teacher, you wouldnt believe the amount of times I've set a class a question from a text book and the answer's been 69. And I've had to keep a straight face while the kids get all giggly)<BR>
<BR>
Wordley - PUT THOSE SECATEURS DOWN! And anyway, arent they usually used on bushes? Flowers in a vase have already been secateured, the poor things.<BR>

Hey peeps<BR>
I haven't written in awhile, I've been caught up in my hectic life.<BR>
Anywayz, love is a crazy thing, ya know? Do you think that if a relationship is going great for like 6 straight months and all of a sudden just goes bad beause I made a mistike of telling him that I'm not sure if I wanted to be in the relationship because of the fact that I'm scared to get hurt and later decide that it's well worth it. But now it's not as good as it was before I told him that,we broke up because of it. Will it ever go back to the way it was? I hope so!!!!!!! I miss it!!!!!!! <BR>
OR is it true what some people say...<BR>
If you brake up once, you shouldn't really be together, there is no point.<BR>
<BR>
Please tell me that it's not true!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Rhetoric~ I thought <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.06.04.18.28.9884">Route 35 East</a> was excellent. Lovely metaphoric expressions.<BR>
<BR>
His Little Fullback~ <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.06.04.15.43.3064">Inside Me</a> was so sweet and adorable. I loved the intimate description of pregnancy and the mystery of this child growing inside.<BR>
