EVERY 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...


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


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD
HAVE .
a youth she's content to leave behind....


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


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
one friend who
always makes her laugh.. and one who lets her cry...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
a good piece
of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her
family...


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


EVERY 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

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...



Canis lupus familiaris

due to non stop popular criticism i ve decided to stop publishing "BORING" blogs (like the last two) !
as previously revealed i m a cat lover. "meow"s practically my middle name. :)
But i also have a dog. I hate the mean/feral/slobbering/loud/curly tailed/tailess/hairless/spotted/most importantly cat eating kinda dogs. But i can make space for a pretty one . We had two gorgeous german shephards (Rocky and candy cane) for about ten yrs, until they succumbed to disease n old age n passed onto a happier place, a doggy heaven perhaps.
But recently we adopted Juliet. Her partner Romeo was Rocky and Candy's first born son.
Romeo n Juliet lived with my grand parents for a number of years, but recently since my grandparents have also been taxed by disease n old age, we inherited Juliet pre-maturely. Juliet though she sounds like a pretty-pawed darling, is no pure-breed. She s actually a mongrel. I was about 10yrs old n i was vacationing with my grand parents when i came across one of those mobile-nurseries.
Defenition of Mobile Nursery :
potted plants on a vandi,
wheeled by a man in a lungi
N i fell in love - with a puppy! She was about two months old n she was snuggled up under dat vandi trying to beat the afternoon heat.
I cried, i wept , threw a lil tantrum, used my 'i-m-ur-grand daughter-n-i-m-begging-u' line, i groveled n finally got my way !
The vandi guy promised she was a pure breed- white alsataian . My grand mom wasnt fooled, like i was, but she bought her for me any way. I guess i was spoiled n loved too much as a child :). He charged us close to two grand for her . So thats how we got Juliet. :)
She grew up into a sort of awkward, long limbed, ungainly not too pretty kinda mongrel. But she s quite an achiever. She can climb gates, trees, walls ,anything !
oh n she loves my cat .. lol... everytime she catches a glimpse of her she has a "i d love to have you for dinner" look on her face ... lol
