Computer Love

I think at some point in our lives we have all experienced what it feels like to be in LOVE. Okay, maybe not EVERYONE but most of us have. Just one thought of that person and you are beaming the most beatific smile...you don't even have to be in their presence just the mere thought of them. You just thought of someone, didn't you? LOL I know you did. Any who, that person you thought of (stop lying you know you thought of them) how did you meet them? Through friends, work at a coffee shop (always thought that was so romantic when it happened...in the movies of course). And how did you know they were the one? That you were IN LOVE with this person? How long did it take before you realized it? 

"Sheesh, why so nosy, Mackgurl?" I'm being nosy, I mean I'm asking because what I really want to know is this - Do you believe in love at first sight? You know, that feeling of being thunderstruck as soon as you lay eyes on them...a person you've never seen before? You can't explain it but you just know THIS person is the love of your life!

If you do believe in LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, does it have to actually be in person? Don't laugh, I'm serious. Oh come on, with the increase of people using social media for everything (biz startups, music promotion) including dating apps is it possible to fall in love with someone from just say a photo? So you're scrolling online on your fave social media platform and then it happens. Your eyes fall to the most beautiful/handsome face you have EVER seen! Something about them calls out to you - no explanation for it. I mean sure they're pretty/cute but that's not it. It's that feeling of being hit by a boulder (no I have no idea what that's like but I can imagine a boulder would hit pretty hard). This is it! This is the person you've been waiting to meet and you didn't even know it. Even now, you've not spoken one word to this person. Can this be love?

Suppose you muster the courage to reach out to them and now you're chatting. The more you chat, the more your feelings grow and are solidified.  Maybe you even progress to video calls. It's like they are right there with you. Talking to you! With a voice you just knew would be as melodic as it turned out to be. But (uh oh, here we go) you've never ACTUALLY met them. Sure you talk everyday, for hours and hours but you've never been physically in there presence. I know people who've been in love and in LDRs (long distance relationships) say video chats are wonderful for this purpose. Feels like you're with them. 

Okay, I can see that but we aren't talking about people who have been dating, have ACTUALLY met and for whatever reason find themselves in a LDR. No, we are talking about someone you've only met online...seen a few photos and maybe a phone call, maybe not. Just messages...Still think it's possible? 

Have you ever fallen in love with someone you've never met? How did it work out? Drop me a line at mackgurl@gmail.com and tell me ALL about it.

Sending virtual hugs and kisses,
Mackgurl

Work It

I found an old photo of me from many moons ago. I'm talking acid washed jeans, big glasses, big hair - the whole 9 yards. It's just a casual shot - me and a friend chilling on the couch (uh, no I don't plan to post it LOL) - but it got me thinking about yester-year or days of old (sheesh, that sounds kinda knightly)...You know, those days when your biggest worries included "are the quarter pounder combos on sale this week? Is HE going to ask me out? For Prom??" (HE didn't but I went to prom anyway and had a BLAST!) This is also about the time I got my first taste of adulthood - A JOB! A real one! Like actually doing things for someone other than my parents and grandparents in order to maintain my allowance (yes, I was one of those kids). Employee ID, Clock-In/Out, an actual check - shoot couldn't tell me nothing. I was a working WOMAN after all (okay so a working TEEN but still, LOL)  Guess where I worked? No, go ahead I'll wait... Time's u...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...

Very Superstitious

Do you think black cats portend bad tidings? Are you triskaidekaphobic (fear of the number 13)? Growing up, I used to hear all sorts of things that were supposedly bad luck or could bring on something that you'd rather not, well, bring on. There was the one about walking under a ladder...or how many of you remember that little ditty about stepping on a crack and breaking your Mama's back? Yeah? I thought you might LOL  I asked a few people about any superstitions that they may have heard/been told. Not all of them are omens of doom and gloom. Some are kinda funny and some you might even want to have happen. Like this first one: If palm of your left hand is itching, you're going to receive some money.       Okay, that's a superstition that I can deal with. Now don't go rubbing your left hand on poison ivy to make your palm itchy to get money. The only thing you're going to do is end up with itchy palms that will spread and have you bathing in oatmeal and ch...
