This one's for BRICO!!!!!!
OH, WAIT!!!!
You DID say, "...armadillo panties!"....
OR did you say, "...an armadillo IN panties!"
Hahahahahhahah!
I am so confused!
Oh, well, whatever gets it started!

Time to step up the Blogging!!!

So while I am being a shamelessly lazy, LAZY blogger, my sweet friend, Blither, posts THIS (or is it THESE??)...

Yeah, yeah, yeah if I knew how to link you to her, I would, but I don't, so get over it and find her in my comments! ANYWAY, the girl definately knows how to raise the bar! Now, I am NOT saying that anyone is going to see my unmentionables anytime soon. BUT, I would like to become a better, more faithful blogger. I have given myself the month of March to learn how to make a friends link on my sidebar and gather information for a 'women who have lit our path' series. Well, hell, maybe I jt need to post cute panties! (Her panties are accompanied by hysterical stories and marvelous wit...just so you don't think she is all about the cute undies!!!)
Thanks for the inspiration, Blitherbutt!!!

A WOMAN SHOULD.....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...

enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...

something perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

a youth she's content to leave behind....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her old age....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....

a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....

one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal,
that will make her guests feel honored...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

a feeling of control over her destiny...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to fall in love without losing herself..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to quit a job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend without;
ruining the friendship...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....

that she can't change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....

that her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

whom she can trust,
whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't take it personally...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

where to go...
be it to her best friend's kitchen table..
or a charming Inn in the woods...
when her soul needs soothing...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

What she can and can't accomplish in a day...
a month...and a year...

"It is a moment of light surrounded on all sides of darkness and oblivion. In the entire history of the universe, let alone in your own history, there has never been another just like it and there will never be another just like it again. It is the point to which all your yesterdays have been leading since the hour of your birth. If you were aware of how precious it is, you would hardly live through it. Unless you are aware of how precious it is, you can hardly be said to be living at all. 'This is the day which the Lord has made,' says the 118th Psalm. 'Let us rejoice and be glad in it.' or weep and be sad in it for that matter. The point is to see it for what it is because it will be gone before you know it! If you waste it, it is your life that you are wasting. If you look the other way, it maybe the moment you've been waiting for always that you are missing. All other days have either disappeared into darkness and oblivion, or have yet to emerge from it. Today is the ONLY day there is." Whistling in the Dark


Enjoy the holidays, my dear friends! Remember the everyday gifts in your lives and experience today to the fullest! (Wings: ONLY today! =)
