Herro! How are you doing lately? I am headed out to the gym (been spending about 20 hours there a week because I have two workout buddies who want to go at different times and I want to help them get in shape) but I just wanted to touch base with you.
I hope things are going very well for you lately and that you are having a great 2009 so far .

A statement has never rung so true "there remains that love of coffee that endures all trials and tribulations of the lovesick"
*tear*
Hope you had a wonderful Valentines Day and a wonderful start to the week.

Amazing poem. Thanks for sharing!!!

did you know i think you're awesome?
miss ya girl let's catch up please

I have a collection of Christmas songs, too. Dozens upon dozens culled from my collection of live and unreleased music. My latest acquisition is Elton John, Rod Stewart and Gary Glitter on Christmas Eve in 1974 doing White Christmas at one of Elton's shows.

I love the Ella/Louis version of 'Baby, It's Cold Outside,' but there was a film (maybe 1949 or 1950?) that made the song popular that had 2 really good versions in it, one by Ricardo (Fantasy Island) Montalbn and Esther Williams as well as an interesting take by Red Skelton and Betty Garrett. Red is AWESOME in the film, too. HysTERical! And it's probably the best Esther Williams performance I've seen (IMO). She's a professional swimmer who confuses Ricardo (a team captain she wants to meet & Red (who she thinks is Ricardo's character. they all play so well off each other. I have a VHS somewhere and watch it nearly every Christmastime (although it's not REALLY a Christmas movie; it just makes me feel good).

Oddly, I don't recall the name of the film but it is well worth googling and watching. Something about Neptune.

Neptune's Daughter!

ONly there are other older (silent) films with that title that I haven't seen and don't know if they're the same story

Someone told me that that couple who were famous for getting married and for her stupidity a few years back (I forget their names) did a version, too, but since I don't know why they're famous and don't recall either exuding any notable talent or even charisma, who cares?

I think the film also introcuded the song "Slow Boat To China," and although Cold Outside had been around for a few years, it's writer, Frank Loesser (I think I spelled it right), wrote the entire soundtrack, if I'm not mistaken.

Everyone should see the film, although I think I read a review somewhere panning it as mediocre fluff or something. It's not intended to be deep; it's, as I said a VERY well-acted feel-good piece.

And my head's fine - well, as fine it could EVER be - just the usual imperfections I'm used to.

I love the Barenaked Ladies version of Little Drummer Boy.
I have a "Christmas Boogie" mix CD I send out to friends. If you want a copy PM your address.

Thanks for the informative blog, it seems we can always turn to your blogs for answers and inspiration on difficult subjects.

We must have so kind of psychic connection. I posted a new blog before I read your last comment to me. The things you said directly address what I posted.

The way I feel right now, I don't see things getting better. I appreciate the positive reinforcement that you convey in your comments to me. I'd like to think that they'll be more helpful once I'm more able to reflect on them. At any rate, I want you to know how much I appreciate your words and thoughts.

Thank you for the caring and helpful things you said. The things you said about your husband are truly beautiful and mirror my feelings about my late wife, Annette.

While I do recognize the problem, I'm not doing very much about it yet. Hopefully, that will change sooner rather than later.

Before I met the special lady in my life now, I had a relationship with someone who I thought was my savior from depression and inability to move forward after my wife's passing. I convinced myself that this was something other than pure fantasy. I placed so much emphasis on this person that she became probably the most important person in my life. I deluded myself into believing that this person genuinely cared for me, despite evidence that it likely wasn't so.

This person recently chose to no longer maintain any further contact with me on any level. She chose to not even tell me why, which was extremely cruel, whether cruelty was her intention or not. Based on the emotional investment I had in her, the loss of her is staggering. I'm suffering terribly and putting so much emphasis on the loss when I should be concentrating on really critical issues that are having a real impact rather than dealing with a broken heart for someone that wasn't really real in the first place.

I don't expect you to fully understand what or who I'm talking about since we haven't known each other that long, but I hope you get the gist of what I'm talking about at least in a general way. I'd rather not mention this person's name, at least not in a public forum, although some friends that I've known longer would know who I'm talking about. Some other time privately perhaps, although I'm probably better off putting her out of my mind altogether.

I want you to know that you have a knack for saying just the right things that are bound to help me. Thank you for being here for me.
