Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy

My love must be a kind of blind love... I can't see anyone but you.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
Two people who met and fell in love
At first sight.

Is that too cliché?
Definitely.
But we have all watched it happen before our eyes...
Haven't we?
Two people who had an instant chemistry.
Immediate attraction...

Who may have had separate things in their life at the time
But somehow always came back to each other.

Are the stars out tonight? I don't know if it's cloudy or bright...

Again and again.
Until neither one of them could deny what was happening.
Neither could we.

Robert has talked about his view on relationships a number of times.
He has stated that he believes in being with only ONE person.
Who is that ONE person?
Kristen.
For almost 2 years (or more?)
We have seen just ONE girl show up with Rob
Over
and over.
Kristen.
 
I doubt it was easy at first.
The furor of Twilight surrounding them...
It's hard to maneuver with that kind of force around you.
How daunting would it be...
To fall in love with the man
That seemingly every female in the world loved, too?
But Robert was more than just "Edward" to Kristen...
Kristen called him her best friend.

I Only Have Eyes For You, Dear.

Being friends...
Best friends
Is a strong foundation to build a relationship.
As friends you have things in common...
Interests.
Circumstance.
A way of looking at life.
Together.

I'm sure parts of this relationship
Have been a challenge to navigate.
What relationship is ever easy?
Imagine trying to find your way...
With millions of eyes watching your every move.
It's hard enough to figure things out in life
without scores of people nitpicking and criticizing every step.

The moon maybe high... but I can't see a thing in the sky

When Robert and Kristen are together
Just looking at Rob's face when he is looking at Kristen
Tells you everything.
The man shows every emotion
every feeling
all over his beautiful face.
He's completely smitten.
Totally taken.
Rob Only Has Eyes For Kristen.

Think about when Rob is in public without Kristen.
Sure he smiles and is sweet Rob to other people.
That's his nature.
But he never steps over the line.
His behavior is always appropriate.
He doesn't flirt with other women.
He hardly acknowledges that other women exist at all.
He is always the good boyfriend.
Because his heart belongs to Kristen.
And Rob wears it on his sleeve for everyone to see.

Cause I Only Have Eyes For You.
And Kristen?
We have seen many
many
unguarded moments 
when she has looked at Rob with complete adoration.
Her face lights up when she looks at him.
She is overwhelmed.
Who wouldn't be?
Do I think she tries (too) hard NOT to look at him?
Yes.
I think she doesn't want to give anything away.
I think
She knows that she can't control the way she looks at Robert...
So she tries not to.
Do you blame her?

I don't know if we're in a garden... or on a crowded avenue.

Kristen is painfully shy.
She's private.
Why would she want to share with the world
Her personal feelings for Robert?
"It's not my job"
She gives so much already.
You might not think so.
But her relationship with Rob 
isn't part of her job description.
She doesn't owe us any explanations.
I admire the fact that she doesn't sell out
for more press and attention.
I admire that she handles her life...
Her way.
And is willing to get beat up in the press
and in the public eye
for not revealing personal, intimate details of her relationship.
That proves to me how important it really is to her.
How important Rob is to her.
 
You are here... So am I.

What does the future hold for Robert and Kristen?
If only you could see into the future.
But no one can look at their relationships in life 
and know where they will lead.
Even famous people.

I'm guessing that although the end of the Twilight movies
will be bittersweet...
Both Rob and Kristen are looking forward to shedding
the whole Edward and Bella persona.
Will they be able to do that if they are a couple?
Eventually.
It will take time
which is only natural since they have been
Edward and Bella
for years...
and will continue to do so until 2012.

But you have to think that not making the movies
will help people see Robert and Kristen...
AS
Robert and Kristen.

Maybe millions of people go by... but they all disappear from view.

Hopefully the madness that follows Rob and Kristen around...
will begin to fade...
Just a little.
And maybe
bit by bit
Rob and Kristen will be able to relax in public...
And not have to put up a shield to protect 
What is theirs.

Wishful thinking?
Probably.
So for now
We can be happy seeing Rob and Kristen happy...
We can enjoy knowing that two people
can find love
and keep love...
And have found the calm eye of the Twilight hurricane
Together.

And I Only Have Eyes For You.

This post is brought to you by the letters *L* and *S*

L for LOVE
You see it every time Rob and Kristen are together.
Sometimes you have to fight for it.
Sometimes it's not easy
But it's always there.

S for Sweet
That would be me.
Sweet Rose.
I can only try.

Bye for now

  2. Rose,

    This was very touching. And I would say that you succeeded in being sweet :) Awesome post!

  3. I loved this so much, Rose. It's so nice to read these lovely, sweet words about these two. Instead of all the nitpicking, negative, HATEFUL things I always see out there. This post reminded me of why I love seeing them together. xoxo

  4. Rose, thanks for such a beautiful post! You summed up everything that encompasses their relationship and anything else that you must work hard to keep. Love is a "many splendored thing" but is also is hard too. All you see when they are together is love-- they are beaming radiantly!!! I noticed in those many "overdramatized" PCA pictures how Kristen was constantly leaning her body towards Rob, folding her hands around her legs as if to not make contact with him. That reminds me of the part in the Twilight books where there seemed to be an electrical impulse given off by Edward when he touched Bella(not that I see Kristen and Rob as Bella and Edward-- I can differentiate), but that's desire and a very intimate feeling :)

  5. Reading this with Rob's music in the background...Beautiful. This totally brought it back to the basics. Love is the same no matter who you are. Rob and Kristen just happen to have found it on a very popular movie for all of us to see. P.S- I love sweet Rose:)

  6. Rose,

    Even at the GG, when Rob smiles/looks at other women or anyone for that matter. It's NEVER like the way he smiles or looks at Kristen. That wide, bright eyed, shes the sun,moon smile. I am happy Kristen does that for him, she is the one for him. And I know Kristen is protecting what is her's I get that. I respect that, but sometimes I think (and this is just my opinion). While protecting it, it may come off as giving him the cold shoulder in public. Is that an unfair statement? Yes maybe.But unfortunately there every move, facial feature is watched for now. I (yes, I") just want her too relax some.

    I truly believe with time things will ease up for them. "I" (Yes, I am selfish lol) just want Kristen too one day show her BRAVE, beautiful self with a big "fuck you" he is mine in public. One day?

    :)

  7. PERFECTLY STATED ROSE~~BRAVO!! I needed this today. Remembering how Robert and Kristen met, the instant chemistry and OBVIOUS attraction for each other and through it all became best friends and fell in love......"they ALWAYS came back to each other again and again until neither of them could deny what was happening. Neither could we." =)

  8. Rose,

    Sweet Rose. Makes me think of this quote:

  9. Lovely ,lovely post, Rose!

    You are so right aobut both of them, Robert is much less guarded in how he adores her, it's very adoring and expressive. Kristen is more guarded, but you know what I've noticed? I think she's almost a mother bear with him in a lot of ways. My favorite moment of Kristen's showing her own form of adoration was at comic-con2009, everyone said how they seemed to not even like eachother. And yet, I was blown away watching Kristen express her protectiveness for Robert, to the point of almost scolding the masses! In one instance Rob mentioned how he looks down now, and kristen prodded him, why rob? Why can't you? She was trying to make him explain to his fans the weight they were making him shoulder with their attention. I loved her for that. And I lvoed her even more when he mentioned he couldn't sing anymore at open mics and Kristen yelled out, "so stop recording him!"

    People found her to be rude in these instance, but it was the smoking gun to me--Kristen's adoration for Rob may not be as "cuddly" as Rob's but man, she is very protective of him, and doesn't care whose toes she steps on when it comes to having his back. That was the day that I went, man, this girl likes him as much as he likes her!

  20. Happy Wednesday..
    and Hi Rose
    I haven't posted in awhile but I read your blog faithfully everyday, I look forward to it.

    I love reading the comments today, I feel the same way.
    The reason why we fell in the love with these two, because we all saw it from the very beginning and how Rob went on and on about her in all his interviews.
    I think she fought it as long as could, but he was persistant and would not give up..lol.
    Kristen seems more analytical and probably knew what would happen if they got together.
    I give her alot of credit, she must love him alot for putting up with all the hate and criticism she gets on a daily basis. I'm sure it's another reason, among many, why Rob treats her like she's the most precious thing on this earth.

    Hopefully once the Twilight craziness dies down she will be able to loosen up a bit and by then, she will be in her 20's.
    She's handling all this pressure pretty well for a 20 yr old, better then I would of at that age.
    Rose your blog today touch my heart, it was wonderful, thank you.

  25. Rose -- you captured the essence of their connection, as well as the reason we root for them.

    They remind us that the concept of a soul mate is still valid in an often soul-less world.


    They show us that staying true to who you are and what you want -- while usually not the easiest course to take -- is possible, even when comforming to conventional expectations would be the more expedient choice.

    And they remind us that the words "personal" and "private" are still valid arguments in a celebrity culture that is defined by an irrational degree of intrusion and entitlement.


    Quote of the week: from the Vogue writerEve MacSweeney responding to questions about her interview with Kristen --
    " She won’t talk about Rob Pattinson, which is smart of her because if she started, it would never end."

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hi Smitty! I'm doing a lot better,thank you for asking,my love :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. That was very sweet Rose and, as always, beautiful pictures of them together!

    The dust may not soon settle for them, as it has not for Brad and Angelina, but they can become handlers of their fame, and isn't that the growth which comes from experience.

    I wish them well throughout their journey of discovery. I truly enjoy a love story...I didn't know about Twilight until my niece asked me to take her to see the movie. I liked the movie, but then she gave me the book, and I read everything from that point forward (even closing NM when Edward left), I know childish. ;(

    Anyway, I noticed then the sly glances and warm smiles they gave each other in interviews, and during those unguarded moments...what a wonderful friendship they have...I envy that, but don't hate it...I rejoice in it! ;0

    Thanks again Rose, for reminding me of the beautiful joys of first love...

  34. LOVED what you said about KS I think the same thing Rob wears his heart on his sleeve so we see him looking more often than not at her and we only get certain unguarded moments from Kristen cause she's shy doesn't mean she feels less for him like you said the fact that she was to protect it and keep it away shows how important it was to her had to repost this bit you wrote cause it's so spot on "She doesn't owe us any explanations.
    I admire the fact that she doesn't sell out
    for more press and attention.
    I admire that she handles her life...
    Her way.

    That proves to me how important it really is to her.
    How important Rob is to her. "
    Nailed it on the head I couldn't agree more. Well Said. Thank you for your awesome words for both Rob and Kristen they're awesome.

  35. Great Post Rose! I hope Rob and Kristen can be sort of like Brad and Angelina. Look how crazy it was at first, they couldn't do anything without the paps following them..remember the Mcdonalds drive thru pics? Geez! Then to see them together at the GG's and she adjusting his tie for him, so cute you cant stand it. I hope eventually it does cool down and they can just enjoy each other. Thanks Rose.

    I have followed Robert & Kristen for more than 2 years now and have seen how they have kept their lives private. I wish people would respect them enough to let them keep it to themselves.

I smile when I see them together and see them look at each other because that kind of love is rare and beautiful to see and we are so very fortunate to get to know that it actually exists in the world. Every woman in this world would be lucky to be adored the way he adores her.

    This was a lovingly written and most wonderful post today. You are always spot on with understanding and supporting this beautiful couple. Rob and Kristen, in my opinion,
    are true soul mates.

    I especially liked the lines...

    We can enjoy knowing that two people
    can find love

    And have found the calm eye of the Twilight hurricane

  50. It Don't Come Easy

    (It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)
    (It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)

    Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
    And you know it don't come easy
    Now you don't have to shout or leap about
    You can even take it easy

    Forget about the past and all your sorrow
    The future won't last
    It will soon be your tomorrow

    I don't want much, I only want trust
    And you know it don't come easy
    And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
    And you know it don't come easy

    Open up your heart, let's come together
    Use a little luck, and we will make it work out better

    It don't come, oohh no, you know it don't come easy
    It don't come, oohh no, you know it don't come easy

    Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
    As you know it don't come easy

    You don't have to shout or leap about
    You can even take it easy

    Please remember peace is what we make it
    It's here within your reach, you are big enough to take it

    I don't ask for much, I only want trust
    You know it don't come easy
    This love of mine is growing all the time
    And you know it don't come easy

  52. lovely post Rose. Wha they have is special having to deal with all the crazies out there telling them what/how they should handle their relationship. Relationship in HW is hard and with some crazy fans, the way they handle their relationship is commendable. Looking back what happened for the past couple of year makes you say, awww. I love the love they have for each other. If only some people would just be happy for them and stop the hate.

  53. Ok I'm a big Rob fan an don't want to start drama but I was looking at these pictures of Rob licking Anna Kendrick's face and well were these before he met Kristen? If not why did he do that if he was so infatuated with Kristen? Just wanted to know...

    ReplyDelete
  54. Those pictures have been around forever, Anna is very young in them, plus there is also a picture of Rob and another guy both licking her face and since I'm pretty sure Anna Kendrick is a sweetheart..I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is a picture of them having fun.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Hi Smitty! So glad you had an opportunity to check in for a moment! We miss you...

    Just a comment about Kristen's reactions to Rob at times...I remember many instances in my youth where my BF (whom I eventually married, and am so 'into' after 20 yrs later!) aggravated the living shit out of me at times!

    Her annoyance with him (occasionally) is completely a normal reaction of a 20 yr old girlfriend to her 24 yr old boyfriend (and we all know at that age, these 'boys/men' can be real pains in the ass at times!lol) Doesn't mean we don't love & adore them!!!

    Hope I haven't offended anyone intoxicated by our fav British actor! Believe me, I'm still drinking the punch! :) I just agree with Rose that they need to be treated as real people trying to navigate this chaotic, surreal life they've so very suddenly been thrust into.

    My respect for the way they treat their relationship is boundless...
    PS Where in Heaven's name is Syd??? I miss his witty repartee... Smitty, please send him our way!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Kenzz,

    You are so right that 24 year old men can be pains in the ass no matter how famous. The same holds true for ages 40, 50 and I imagine higher. Basically, every age of male can be a pain in the ass at times.

    ReplyDelete
  60. @PennyLane:

    Haha you are so right...my hubby just tured 45, and there are definitely times where, had an intrusive camera been on ME, you all would have captured my eye roll for posterity's sake!

    But bottom line, you gotta love 'em!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Penny - I was thinking the same thing,reading what Kenzz wrote. My hubs still annoys the shit out of me on a regular basis,he and his best friend,my best friend's husband, act about 12 when they've had a drink! We've actually put them out of the car a few times when they were being particularly annoying.LOL

    I love him to death which is precisely WHY he can get a rise out of me,I'm sure you're the same with yours. As I said to Smitty a while ago, the only real difference now is, he spends so much time away from home that I'm a bit superstitious about him ever going away thinking I'm annoyed with him so I grit my teeth and bite my tongue a lot more :)

    ReplyDelete
  62. Angelica,

    What about when they've had a drink or 2 and then blurt out something that you don't want anyone else to know. An eyeroll just doesn't do it.

    ReplyDelete
  63. @ angelica:

    OMG you are sooo spot on! Guys, when they get together with their best buds, revert to 12 yr olds, especially after a few drinks!

    I believe I recall a time when I was summoned to pick up my boyfriend-soon-to-be-hubby after a night of fraternity imbibing, which had led to a fall from a tree on campus, and a subsequent trip to the ER!

  64. Miss Rose

    What a beautiful post. Love is most definitely in the air.

    I know I haven't seen the movies but pictures tell a story always. These two people are in love and it is a strong love.

    I received my DETAILS magazine and Andrew Garfield(the new spidey). Wow, he is a cutie. Andrew made a comment that he does not read gossip mags, tabloid tv, isn't part of the hollywood scene.

    It just reminds me that Rob and Kristen are trying not to be part of the hollywood scene. These two just want to do their job, come home from work, have a nice dinner that Kristen might make if she is not to tired, and last but not least, wallow in each other's arms.

    To Roseland, a big hello and hope you all had a wonderful day.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Penny - I cringe thinking about some of the things he's blurted out!

    Awwww love....I recently watched a video of Rob where he states that Kristen is certainly marriage material....

    Well, Mr. Patz you certainly are marriage material yourself....the way Rob conducted himself for the Golden Globes was remarkable...he is always very respectful of Kristen, whether she is with him or not....he acts just as a man committed to a relationship should act.( BF,Fiance,or Husband)...considering all the starlets that are throwing themselves at him, it's like no one exists, but Kristen...was happy to hear that Dean ran interference for him....can't help sharing this excerpt from the article where Dean was stopping all the girls with cameras...

    "He's not taking any photos. The GRUFF guard said"....LOL

  69. GOOD EVENING GUYS... Ive had quite an interesting day..actually since Monday..

    Monday afternoon at the medspa..1st client" youll never guess what happened" what? i say "My father dropped dead a few weeks ago." 2nd client"youll never guess what happened last week, my mother got sick and was dead in less than 2 hours" last client of the day,"youll never believe what has happened, one of my co-workers dropped dead and they are still trying to determine the cause of death...she was only 48...Fast forward today...I go to the dentist and the dental hygenist gets a phone call...her grandmother has just died.

    Why am I telling you this...DO NOT TAKE A SINGLE MOMENT of your precious life for granted or the ones you love.

    Yes, I think God is trying to tell me something..and I am listening...
    I am thankful for all my friends and family, even the ones I argue with and even though I dont KNOW you all personally I am thankful for ALL OF YOU and ROSE and R&K&T of course. This is a very special blog. I was really touched by the post today, Rose. You are the BEST and you deserve every accolade that comes your way. Im sorry for the negative that you have to put up with..but as you said love is hard but nothing worth having is easy..Soooo true..It makes us appreciate it all the more.

  70. Rose,

    Hi Smitty- hope you are doing well :)

    Hi Kami,Angelica,Penny,Liza,Freddie, 30,Super,Sydney,Katy,Hope,Annie, Melinda,Cate,Susan,DK,Kenzz and anyone I missed :)

    How is everyone?

  71. When my boyfriend gets drunk, he finds and makes friends with the shadiest shadeball within a ten mile radius. Like, for instance, the homeless man playing guitar on the sidewalk who looked like Slash...complete with curly black hair, top hat and leather jacket. He invited 'Slash' into the bar with us and bought him drinks all night and then invited him back to his place where we were all going once the bars closed.

    He does this just about everytime we go out. Sometimes I think it's hilarious. Sometimes I want to smack him upside the head.

    You married ladies are Saints. I'm not in too much of a rush for the co-habitation.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I am officially renaming my dog STFU! She wants out. She won't shut up till I let her back in. Next she whines to go out again.

    Hi Rhonda,

    I'm great after my little outburst there.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Hi Roseland!

    Rose~I just don't know how you come up your wonderful words of wisdom day after day

    Hi LJ & Smitty :)

    Could brainless possibly be like the Grinch with an increasing heart size? I am waiting for the little x-ray frame to pop. (My tongue is in my cheek.)

    PL~Preach it! Your are so right about "men." Mr. Moody over here is driving me crazy.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Super - Thank you for your beautiful message. You are absolutely right. We also just learned that our former General Manager's wife just died on Sunday night after a short fight with cancer. This came totally out of the blue. So to your point Super, enjoy every precious moment of life with friends and loved ones. It can be taken from us in a flash.

  75. Hello IB :)

    Penny- Love the new dog name..LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  76. Penny did you and I change dogs? That is exactly what Wolfie is doing. He runs to the door, I get up, climb the stairs to let him out and he then runs back down the stairs and grabs a toy. If a dog could laugh...He'd be laughing. I put him outside and he slipped on the ice I was tempted to leave him out there longer, but I went to let him back in and this woman was "Singing" screeching is more like it on American Idol and he turned to go back outside..he'd rather be in the freezing rain than watching this show.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Is anyone else watching American Idol?

    Steven Tyler is great at this.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Kami,

    What did you think of skanky star boob girl?


    Why are the wonky words getting so long?

    ReplyDelete
  79. Yes, I'm watching American Idol..LOL..I love Steven Tyler!

    ReplyDelete
  80. I love Steven and Jennifer, I was shocked at sparkle boobs. She could flat ass sing. She needs to tone down the spray tan though she was bright orange. I liked her voice and I loved the boy who had at one time been in a wheelchair.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Why did they put on this burping nerd guy:?

    ReplyDelete
  82. OMG Penny!!! What a coincidence, I have a dog called STFU too. She's so dopey she's even been known to batk at her own tail.

    ReplyDelete
  83. It's just starting where I am and I will be watching. The auditions are the best part. I'm gonna miss Simon. He was my favorite

    ReplyDelete
  84. Super,

    Thanks for sharing that with us..we should never take one moment for granted..especially those with the ones we love :)

    ReplyDelete
  85. angelica,

    Mine used to bite her tail and run in circles when she was young. She's a golden and we thought she was going to look ridiculous with a bald spot on her tail.

    She got over it.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Hi Rhonda, Penny, Kami, Sydney, IB, Bren, Super (if you're still here) and anyone else I missed. Hope everyone is having a good evening.

    Regarding American Idol, I can't watch the initial rounds. The bad singers are just too painful to listen to....

    ReplyDelete
  87. I love it when they say. I think people would tell me I sucked.

    Yeah, like grandma and mom and dad are going to say that.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Yep...I love that..."People would tell me if I sucked"

    No they wouldn't

    ReplyDelete
  89. Sydney- Yes the auditions are crazy! I get embarassed for them sometimes they are so bad..

    Angelica- I'm glad your doing better :)

    Freddie- Presentation news?

    Hi Kami :)

    ReplyDelete
  90. Hi Angelica - sorry I missed you on my last post.

    Hope your back is better.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Hi Freddie!

    I never really got into American Idol.

    Super~Thanks for your words of wisdom, too!

    ReplyDelete
  92. anyone else hate it when they beg and cry????

    ReplyDelete
  93. Rhonda - hope all is well.

    The presentation went well apparently, so we get a pass until the next inspection tour.

    I sent you an e-mail, by the way.

    ReplyDelete
  94. IB- I'm doing good, thanks :)

    Kami- Oh my..this poor girl is nuts!

    ReplyDelete
  95. I'm loving Steven Tyler right now. And I never liked him before.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Hi IB. Were you guys snowed under the other day? If so, is life back to normal now?

    ReplyDelete
  97. I'm loving him more than ever and I've always loved him.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Hey Freddie- Yes, I'm great.. thanks for asking :)

    Ok..I will look at my msgs :)

    ReplyDelete
  99. I don't know how I could stay nice and polite as a judge. I would lose it.

    The crying and begging is bad, but my worst is when they won't stop singing.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Kami and Penny- Me too..I've always loved him :) I think he's cool..

    ReplyDelete
  101. *chest constricting*
    I think I want to cry after reading your post
    *leaves for the office restrooms*

    ReplyDelete
  102. Hey IB- How did you make out the other night with the XBOX boys?

    ReplyDelete
  103. Freddie~We are still knee deep in snow. We had a snowday yesterday and a 2-hour delay today. It snowed ALL day today. There are two more storms coming...Thursday into Friday and Tuesday into Wednesday. At this rate, we will still be in school on the 4th of July:)

    ReplyDelete
  104. Hi ladies

    My dog, Max, isn't a barker but a stalker. He follows me everywhere--upstairs, downstairs-- you name it.

    He's a sweet old dog though.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Now Mr. PL is home and he doesn't like American Idol. So I have to listen to his comments. Ruins the whole thing.

    ReplyDelete
  106. IB..I cant believe you are STILL buried in snow! What a bummer..that is TOO MUCH of a good thing
    RHONDA...I hope you had a good day..I am assuming you worked..
    SUE BEE...heh..I have a cat named MAX...a good solid name for a pet!
    KAMI..animals are good judges of character and obviously singing abilities also! lol
    HI PL,FREDDIE and SYDNEY..

    ReplyDelete
  107. Penny- Too funny :) I have an ex boyfriend that I used to fight constantly with over American Idol..he hated it!

    Come to think of it..we fought over just about everything..guess that's why were ex's..lol :)

    ReplyDelete
  108. Rhonda~The Xbox gang was great. They were up late but well behaved. They were all pleased with yesterday's snowday so they could catch up on their sleep:)

    ReplyDelete
  109. Rhonda,

    I've been drinking tea all day. I haven't snacked at all.

    ReplyDelete
  110. PL..If your husband is like mine, I just go ahead and give him the remote as soon as he enters the room because there will be no peace until he gets to watch what he wants!

    ReplyDelete
  111. Super,

    I usually do just that. But I am settled in here and not moving so he went into watch the bedroom tv.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Penny, Heith's plane just landed safely, I'm actually crying. I've been a nervous wreck.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Hey Super- Yes, I worked today. It was good :) Yesterday..not so much :(

    ReplyDelete
  114. Kami,

    Just breathe. It's all good now.

    ReplyDelete
  115. PL Good for you! When you go out together, even if its in your car, does your husband let you drive? Mine will NOT let me drive..he says it makes him too nervous..lol

    ReplyDelete
  116. breathing...thanks...sorry for being a pain in the ass..thanks for putting up with me

    ReplyDelete
  117. Penny- It really does work.. doesn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  118. Oh, hell no. I don't drive because it's constant directions. I won't drive him until he's so old I can just dump him in the back seat and yank out his teeth and then he won't talk.

    ReplyDelete
  119. KAMI..Im glad Heith is safely landed..I hope there wasnt a problem wwith the plane.

    ReplyDelete
  120. I don't get to drive either...I've actually driven only 2 times in the 22 years we've been together, when he's been in the car..once after he had surgery as I was backing out going 1 mile an hour he screamed "Slow down"

    ReplyDelete
  121. IB- I'm glad you survived :) Hey we've got more snow coming here too..tomorrow night

    ReplyDelete
  122. Kami~Glad he's safe



    veri. word: forcu or perhaps forc-u

    ReplyDelete
  123. Kami,

    Same with me. I drove him after knee surgery and he kept telling me what the speed limit was.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Thanks Super, runway was too icy for another plane to land, but they fixed it so he got to land

    ReplyDelete
  125. Penny..you are cracking me up tonight! LOL...

    ReplyDelete
  126. KAMI you are NOT a pain in the ass!! Now some of the trolls might think so by the time you chew them up and spit them out but hey they get just what they deserve!

    ReplyDelete
  127. It must be a GUY thing..about control of the driving and the remote..come to think of it, IF he goes with me into the grocery store or WalMart, he has to PUSH the buggy!

    ReplyDelete
  128. Kami - Glad your husband is safely on the ground.

    With driving - it's not a husband that gives me instructions but rather my father. I've given up wanting to argue. I just give in - it makes him happy. He thinks he's helping.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Super,

    I saw the sweetest old man at the store today pushing the cart. He was way behind his wife and he almost ran into me. He said, All I'm supposed to do is follow and push the cart and I guess I'm not very good at that.

    And yeah, I have to turn the cart over to Mr. PL too.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Such an endearing post, Rose~ Love it. Yeah, Rob is so sweet. I love how Kristen handles her relationship too. She is guarded and private coz she cares and wants to protect it. I believe this relationship means so much to both of them. They must fully understand what they would get themselves into. Certain things are foreseeable, e.g. pressure from Summit, fans, media...Yet, they still choose to be together. This tells all, right?

  131. I'm calling it a night. Catch you later.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Super~I haven't heard a shopping cart called a buggy since my SC days. I always got a kick out of shopping at Piggly Wiggly with my buggy:)

    ReplyDelete
  133. More snow for RHONDA..I want some more too..just not as much as IB..
    Good night GUYS!!! I must bid you a fond farewell..tomorrow will be here soon enough!DK...Hold the fort down until I return..SMITTY..If u come back ..xoxo and be safe.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Bye Super..goodnight. I will talk to you soon :)

    ReplyDelete
  135. IB..heh..See, you miss the ole South, dont you?

    PL..Good night..

    ReplyDelete
  136. IB- Are we the only ones who call them buggies? LOL :)

    ReplyDelete
  137. Nite PL and Super!

    Rhonda~Got your shovel out?

    ReplyDelete
  138. RHONDA..Good night my dear girl.. I look forward to it!

    ReplyDelete
  139. Rhonda~Not only do you call them buggies but yours are shaped differently than ours. Yours are shallow and high and sometimes have that gate that folds down on the front. Ours are deep without gates.

    ReplyDelete
  140. Rhonda - in Quebec (Montreal) we used to call them buggies but in Ontario, we call them shopping carts.

    Just like we used to buy a "soft drink" in Quebec, but it's "pop" in Ontario.

    We used to ask for "all dressed" pizzas, but in Ontario, they would laugh at you. You ask for "everything on it" in Ontario.

    ReplyDelete
  141. We should take a poll and see who calls them buggies and who calls them shopping carts.

    Super~I do miss the South and my boiled peanuts too.

    ReplyDelete
  142. IB- LOL..no, I'm really hoping I won't need a shovel. I don't know if I could handle the massive amounts of snow that your used to..lol

    ReplyDelete
  143. IB- NO way! There shaped different too?

    ReplyDelete
  144. We call it "soda." Also, we call submarine sandwiches "subs", not hoagies.


    Rhonda~I could get rich! I just thought that I could make and sell t-shirts that say "Got shovel?" lol

    ReplyDelete
  145. Freddie- In the South everything is a "Coke"..no matter the brand or flavor..it's a "Coke"

    IB- I know you remember this..LOL:)

    ReplyDelete
  146. Yes, really they are shaped differently. Do the carts at your market have the gates on the front? Is Piggly Wiggly still around?

    ReplyDelete
  147. Yes..they have the gates. That's funny :)

    ReplyDelete
  148. We're "subs" as well.

    Your slogan "Got Shovel?" could be used to reference a number of things beyond snow - like the "*hit" we get here from unwelcome guests.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Wow, @jen 12:35, I have teary eyes reading your comment. I sincerely hope everyone see it and stop saying how "cold" Kristen towards Rob. The girl shows her love in her own way.

    Monica from Asia

    ReplyDelete
  150. Rhonda~I don't know if you saw this when I was talking to Super a while ago but when I lived in SC, I worked at Lizard's Thicket as a waitress. I always got teased because I thought tea meant HOT tea like it does in NY, not sweet ice tea like it does in SC.

    Man, people down there live on sweet tea.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Freddie- Yes, that would work well for that situation..lol

    ReplyDelete
  152. Rhonda - Wow the marketers at "Coke" must love it. Talk about Brand equity.

    IB - I speak a little french, since you have to pass french in Quebec to get your high school leaving certificate, but I lost most of it after I moved to Ontario. I can still read some of it, but have a hard time speaking it, despite the fact that some of my colleagues are francophones.

    I wish I'd been able to keep it up.

    ReplyDelete
  153. IB- Yes, I remember. We actually talked about this before. LOL..people always mean sweet tea unless they specify 'Hot' tea. Sweet tea is definitely our drink :)

    ReplyDelete
  154. Very nice post today..

    It's truly inspiring to see such a powerful love between two people. I am in awe and am thankful that we're able to even get a slight glimpse of it.

    Two very beautiful souls, that knew each other probably before they actually met.. knew they were meant to be together. Two very beautiful people whose connection shines in their eyes when they look at each other.

    It is a wonderful thing.

    Hi to everybody.. hope all is well.

    ReplyDelete
  155. Freddie- Your right..we should get some kind of commission..lol. When someone ask me for a 'coke' I automatically say..what kind? LOL..

    ReplyDelete
  156. Got shovel? for unwanted guests is really funny.

    My neighbors across the street are from Canada and they speak French. They have three small children and they only speak French to them. They figure they will learn English at school and from their friends. It is odd when they talk and you have no idea what they are saying. It is kind of like Sinefeld when Eileen went to the Korean nail salon.


    veri. word-wanta.....wanta shovel?

    ReplyDelete
  157. Hi Tracy- Wow! That was beautifully stated..and so true :)

    ReplyDelete
  158. Ther French-speaking couple are right in their approach. And it can be a real advantage if the kids are bilingual.

    With respect to talking French in front of others, we have an uspoken rule at work that people don't have side conversations in french in front of us uni-lingual folks - to be polite.

    ReplyDelete
  159. Tracy- I've always believed they would have met even if they didn't do the Twilight movies together...some things are just meant to be :)

    ReplyDelete
  160. Freddie, your unspoken rule is interesting.

    Rhonda-Aawww!

    ReplyDelete
  161. Ooops...that should have read "The French speaking couple" not "Ther French speaking"...

    ReplyDelete
  162. Rose,
    You are sweet and what a lovely post. I love the picture from comic con. Oh yes, the chemistry was and is still there. They are quite blessed and I would assume by how protective they are, that they know it. May they have many, many years enjoying life and each other.
    Good night Roseland!

    ReplyDelete
  163. Rhonda - Well, we were talking about "Kismet" or "Fate" the other night.... so who knows.

    ReplyDelete
  164. Hi Birdie :)

    Freddie- yes 'kismet' is a good word :)

    ReplyDelete
  165. Ladies, I'm going to head off as well. I need to go track down Tomas and give him his meds. He knows that I'll be coming for him, so he tries to hide. He's no dummy.

    Talk with you all tomorrow. Good night.

    ReplyDelete
  166. Hey IB- Another question about carts vs.buggy. If you don't have the gate that folds down..where do you put your eggs? LOL..

    ReplyDelete
  167. Hi Rhonda, Freddie, I*B and anybody I missed.. Hi 30 :)

    I'm doing well.. just busy these days.. Life kind of snuck up on me and kicked my ass while I wasn't expecting it.

    Take care! I've gotta run :)

    Laters!

    ReplyDelete
  168. Nite Freddie~good luck with Tomas!

    Rhonda~There is a kid's seat that folds out near the handle of the cart. I put my eggs and bread there. When the kids were little and rode in the seat, I would just put them on top in the back.

    ReplyDelete
  169. Who knew carts and buggies could be so technical?

    ReplyDelete
  170. Bye Tracy! Rhonda, I'm gonna run too. Time to hit the hay. Talk to ya soon, buggy girl:)

    ReplyDelete
  171. Bye Tracy and IB..I'm out too. Goodnight :)

    ReplyDelete
  172. catching up on comments I missed but have to say this right off

    Rhonda...in my neck of the woods, we call them Buggies, I thought everyone did lol. Learn something new everyday

    ReplyDelete
  173. Also, in Texas, when you say you're going to go get a coke, it can be anything from Coke to Dr. Pepper..Soda and pop are words we rarely use.

    Up here everything is Pop

    ReplyDelete
  174. Just popping in to add my two cents. In the midwest it is a shopping cart and we drink pop.

    We do not have Piggly Wiggly's we have Krogers and A&P and Meijer's and the ever present Walmart.

    ReplyDelete
  175. We used to have Piggly Wigglys but they went out of business so mainly it was Walmart, Albertsons and HEB..and a Safeway

    Hello, to my favorite buds who have been keeping me entertained while I recoup from the whatever I have.

    Enjoyed your remarks about regional differences and getting along with the opposite sex.

    Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  177. Dk, you are welcome! I hope you are feeling better.

    Penny was sweet enough to keep me entertained while Heith was out of town so that I didn't miss him too terribly much. I'm glad our games kept you amused!

    ReplyDelete
  178. These past few days, my head has been totally empty. No witty comments to make or funny things to say, hardly at all. There hasn't been much improvement yet. It must be filled with mysterious mind-blowing stuff, instead.

    Thanks to you, dear, sweetest Rose, and the Roselanders, for saying so many wonderful things about love, loving, R/K, and each other. Passes the time quite nicely between extended napping for hours.

    @30 Stop worrying about me, you Sillybilly! You will be in know, you know, and yet, I love your concern, and return it.
    Hope your stomach has returned to normal.
    And I am so glad you are taking your daughter to school for a while, to get away from the bullies. I had to do that for my son, too. When will it change?

    I'm having a delicious cup of Tully's coffee in a 1950's china cup and saucer/dish. It tastes so much better in china, I declare.

    Song requests? Or I'll choose a couple and see you soon.

    Is Heith home now? He sounds like such a darling man. He is as fierce as you are in support of each other I think.
