More Out of Monday with Madeline♥
I’m Madeline – a healthfully humorous, radically ridiculous, momentarily messy broad here to give you a flicker of joy on the (in most cases) worst day of the week.
The Monday after your team LOSES the Superbowl is like…
…your kids knocking on the bedroom door while you’re having sex – a huge let down, and there’s no re-dos.
Oh, well…you can’t win em all, right? It was sort of nice to see the Saints so excited about winning their first Superbowl ever. And I have to respect the outstanding game they played…and won. As for you men in blue and white, I love you no matter what! YOU ROCK!
Today, I want to talk about love…
I know it’s a little different than my usual cynical outlook on my world and that of others. However, I do have a softer side and I want to show it (remember, I said softer, not squishy). Kellie will be so proud of me. Not that I’m a people pleaser or anything. Far from it! Get real; I’m not going to send virtual Hershey’s Kisses to all my bloggy friends. I’m simply going to spend a few minutes sharing a perspective about love…mine.
And so it goes.
Love is…
…when he/she understands every word you’re not saying.
…stain sticking even the gross parts of the underwear before throwing them in the wash.
…a mental illness that no pill will help.
…fraternizing with the enemy.
…like a ghost – you don’t see it coming or going until it’s too late.
…safe – if you’re a lap dog.
…believing what you don’t see and not believing what you do.
…like a joint checking account – you both have access to it and use it but one usually keeps it balanced.
…sharing an ice cream cone – if you over think it, you won’t do it.
…and it’s a battlefield.
I would love it if you added your best Love is…quote right down there in the comment area. Come on; don’t be shy! Give Madeline some love for Valentine’s week.

This was great.
Okay here’s mine (not very poetic or anything, but just true…)
Love is… the most important thing in life.
Love Is…
When he calls you hanging from a twenty story building, strapped into a harness, to tell you how beautiful the view is overlooking Lake Michigan, and that it made him think of you.
Love is…
my favorite excuse for being me…
