Funny you all should ask about that. My window faces an alley...and oh the
things I see. The best to date:
I'm sitting at my desk bored out of my mind being veeerry polite to all
the customers I speak to when I notice that down in the alley a couple
is having a heated discussion.

I mean I've NEVER seen anything like this and I've seen a lot.  Here's
why it was so intense.  I can't hear the conversation but it is so 
obviously passionate that you know it's a lovers spat.

He would occassionally get really close to her face and obviously say
something really hurtful because she would back up and let loose
with some real good screams of profanity. Then they would be back
together stomach to stomach, nose to nose breathing each others 
breath as they verbally beat up on each other.  Then I watched as
this dance changed; going from tango to samba.  I mean at some
point one of them eased off; became smooth instead of staccatto.
At some point one of them MUST have said, "Look, I don't want
to fight anymore." It seemed as if she was swinging and he wasn't
swinging back.

Then it wasn't an argument anymore it was an apology because quite
suddenly he dropped to his knees! I swear to God in the middle of
the damn street, he does the best Street Car Name Desire I've ever
seen.  She just stands there...stunned. At this point I turned my
phone off because this was quality voyeurism. 

She reached out her hand tugging at him trying to get him off his
knees, pleading now; no profanity now. Then in desperation (it looked
like desparation) she reached down and kissed him. I mean, as if
they were all alone. She placed her hands splayed on either
side of his face and kissed him with such concentration and 
totality it was like...like...

Well. That's what I see out of my window.

MY first time, my glasses broke two days before the ceremony.  So, when I
was walking down the isle with my Dad, I couldn't see my fiance until I was
standing right next to him.  I was nervous also....wondering why I was 
doing this, etc.

I'm not really nervous this time either.  This all seems so perfectly
romantic.  I'm so eager for that day to arrive (38 and counting).  I want
to be Mrs. Steven Salter with all my being.  Its wierd too, I've never been
one to venture out, try anything new, make changes.  I've always hated doing
that.  But this huge change in my life is so welcome.  I've never looked so
forward to anything this much!

But, honey, couldn't we just bring Sir Herald (or Hairy Harry as my hourly

sure someone comes over everyday to tell my Sweet Harry that he's the best
kitty in the world and Mama will be home soon to give him kisses.  And make
sure they scratch his chin daily, and tell him he so handsome, all the lady
kitties in the neighborhood will be yellin' for him in no time....

Offends!?!?  Mona, that was a very touching post.  When I see a

But then, I look to my parents (35 years and still going strong)

So, I think renewal of wedding vows is a wonderful thing.  Thanx
