When you go away or someone close to you leaves, not necessarily permanently, do you miss the people you leave behind or that person who leaves you behind? How do you express it? Do you feel sad and cry? Do you feel so forlorn? Do...

girlclothes Thanks kalav! I agree with you that it's worse when you don't have a full-time activity to keep you engaged throughout the day. I feel the loneliness more when I don't have anything to do.

girlclothes Hi Irene! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! But I didn't mean to make it sound as though missing someone is a bad thing because like I said, I do miss people and things. In fact, I'm a very sentimental person. What I meant when I said that it's just a waste...

girlclothes Thanks mimpi! Thank you for saying that I am strong and confident for feeling the way I do. And to be honest I do feel sad, especially when I remember those people that I love or care about who aren't with me physically. I mean, I take a moment to remember...

I was just reading through some posts here and this thought suddenly crossed my mind. Different people have different "rituals" when getting ready to go to work, to school, or simply to go out, so some people take longer than...

girlclothes Hi raijin! This might help you cut some minutes off your morning routine: try preparing your things and pressing your clothes the night before. You'll be amazed at how much time that saves you in the morning!

girlclothes Oh, I so agree with you. When we take care with how we look -- how we dress, how we "doll up" ourselves, it does have a positive effect on our attitudes and that shows through to other people. So yeah, it's good to look good!

girlclothes I know what you mean. I have a friend who needs about 2 hours or more to get ready, and that's just on regular days! I think it's because she uses an iron for her hair, that's what's taking her so long. The upside is, of course, she always looks pretty. The...

girlclothes Hi Kennedee! I just added you as a friend, by the way. Anyway, I'm not an early riser myself, although it's better now than it used to be. But before, when I had an 8-5 job and my hair was still really long, more often than not, I'd be running late if I had to...

Someone recently returned a couple of books to me and to my chagrin, the books weren't exactly in good shape. The cover was a little bit grimy around the edges and there were a lot of folds or dog-ears on the pages. Now I'm pretty...

girlclothes Hi! I'm glad you liked it. It was written by Sandra M. Gilbert. A friend of mine sent it to me at a time when I was trying to get over a guy and somehow, after reading this poem, I felt a little better. Hope it has a positive impact on you as well.

girlclothes LOL I can't believe other people do that too! I do the same thing with my bookmarks! They're not actually bookmarks most of the time. Sometimes I use discarded scratch cards or phone cards. Other times I use some piece of paper that's lying around. Anything...

girlclothes I know. It's a little sad, not to mention ironic, to think that even though she's an avid reader, and has been since she was in grade school, that somehow didn't develop a respect for books... Anyway, yeah, I have the same situation on my bookshelves since...

girlclothes But that's the thing. my friend looked like someone who knew how to take care of books since she loved to read too, but apparently I was wrong.

girlclothes Same with me when I'm going somewhere special. I take extra care with putting on make-up so if my normal time is an hour, it would usually take me a couple of hours when I have my "full armor".

girlclothes I know! I mean books last longer if they're kept in good shape. And I know what you mean about how books look in the hands of people who take a long time to read them -- my friend had it for several months. When I got my books back and saw how they looked...

girlclothes Hi luvcatzzz! It's good to know that I'm not the only one who feels that way about books and things in general. I rarely borrow books myself, but when I do, I usually finish it as soon as I can and return it right after.

girlclothes Hey laydee! Thanks for the comment. I have to say that I'm in the same boat as you are, even though I did open this discussion. I, too, believe that women are partly to blame for this because they allow themselves to be treated that way by men. Heck, I do it...

I'm back to my reading mood these days, probably because of the rain. There's just something so languidly appealing about curling up on a couch with a good book and a nice cuppa tea while the world outside is cold and gray. So...

girlclothes Thanks raijin! Bill Bryson's books usually are categorized as travel books because these chronicle his travels. I'm not quite sure though if his books are a regular fare at most bookstores but who knows, you just might get lucky. Anyway, in case you're on the...
