Musical Monday
He congratulated her for passing some national exam. They bumped into each other at the luncheon that followed. He flirted. She blushed. Their mothers quietly watched as his played the piano and hers sang at church functions. Her family doctors, his parents packed him off to boarding school. She got packed off herself to a different boarding school. Roses were sent. Letters exchanged. Interests changed. BAs later he courted her again. And she messed it up again. He went on to medical school while she went abroad to learn to be independent and maybe to learn how not to scare away a potential husband. Christmasses haven't been exactly magical since 1988.
Alright, alright, enough dramatic tripping down memory lane. She was me (there I just busted myself), and I'm back to 2009, an old maid with a new perspective on "without you." You now refers to anything but him, ie. parties, shopping and all I need to see standing by my christmas tree is tour therapy for neurotic tendencies.

Monday Mayhem
What would you do if...
during the holiday someone gave you a
fruit cake
If it's made by Shangri-la and no other I'd actually eat it. This one looks like a throat clogger. I won't take the risk.
secretly scare the rats away with it or if it's given by someone who has no idea it's ugly, I'd wear it once so as not to offend
deodorant
Laugh it off
a check for $5
deposit it to my dog's trust fund
Mr T
Hmm.. he'll make a good bouncer for the sickos at work
a lump of coal
a Miley DVD
So what is the worst gift you've ever received?
I was probably in 3rd grade when I got a plastic ring. I recognized it as a giveaway for purchasing a bag of salted corn. Well, child's stuff. Looking back, I dunno whether I'd be amused or frown at it.

Your answers were great as well. You seem to be very thoughtful. :)
Happy MM!
Have a great day and thanks for playing!
also enjoyed your answers, they were cute. your dog has a trust fund?? :)
HODGEPODGESPV, kalea_kane, Karen and Mejis, thanks
Run, it was good to let that one out in written form, exposed kind of way at last; and we're not meant to be, but I'm over that as well :)
Harriet, really?! I inferred from his looks
Diane, do I?! lol... thanks. I don't think it's exactly a trust fund that my dog has. The bank account is in my name but every penny that goes to it each month is his.
here's my late entry
Kirsty, no problem at all. Thanks for visiting and I hope your computer is now working for you without any more problems.
