Good Find

What gives one person power over another? How can we hear a friend say hello and it makes us smile?

We've all been in that situation, it's a bad day and we know that nothing can make it better, down-down-down. Then, as we turn the corner there stands our friend. We certainly weren't expecting to see them there, but hey, there ya' go.

Suddenly the day doesn't look so bleak and inexplicably there is a smile upon our face.

What kind of a connection has this person made so strong that just that split second can change the view of the day so quickly?

Survey Says . . .

Hazel's rooommate loved seeing us together because we were "so cute!" I didn't think much about it because Hopeless Romantic (Hazel's Rommate) is, well, a hopeless romantic. However, more and more people have been commenting about the two of us together.

While we were dress shopping, yes I actually do enjoy going shopping with Hazel . . . when we're spending her money, the girl helping us asked how long we'd been together. She seemed surprized to learn that we'd only been dating for about two months, apparently she would have guessed "a bazillion-gillion years." I'm still stumped about how we gave that impression, but the cashier thought we were so "cute" together.

Eagerness has been dating her boy for quite some time, almost as long as she's been friends with Hazel. According to Eagerness, Hazel and I are the cutest couple she's ever seen . . .

WHAT on earth is it that makes a couple "cute" or not? Maybe I don't understand this because I'm a guy, but it seems to me that girls put a lot of stock in such a term.
