ROBIEWANKENOBIE

i once had a boyfriend who couldn't call me by my first or middle name because of his ex-girlfriends. so he called me "babe" instead.

i'm wearing high-heels. and a swishy skirt. and i know how to use them.

my grandmother used to warn my brothers against the danger of motorcycles. my mother would tell me of the joy of riding on the back of a boyfriend's bike. i can't stop thinking about having my own.

my husband called yesterday, in the middle of the day, to thank me for an especially kick-ass lunch. and for making his lunch every day.

i bought the new prince album. i feel naughty.

last night at about eleven, i decided to amend my "before i die" list to include a balloon ride. even though it scares me.

my children have not yet embraced the song "word up." they need to.
