But the defeated wife never communicated what she really wanted to say. Decorum dictated it, rotting tradition and decent human intercourse dictated politeness not avarice. Telling him that she supported him during his time of need, where now it was fair share, was out of the question. Tears of outraged vanity blurred her vision. The wild whirl of nameless regret and passionate sorrow overwhelmed her as she felt like a ruined broken wreck.
Excerpt: Caring for Eleanor
An amazing movie this “Moulin Rouge” with incredible music, terrific costumes and great talent. Under appreciated, it remains a favorite with music lovers.
Then came Jessica Biel who took my breath away when she came on the screen in that gorgeous dress and danced the tango in “Easy Virtue” with non other than heart throb Colin Firth.
I would like to believe that Michelle Pfeiffer did this “Cherie” just for fun because it certainly did not make the money hoped. Gorgeous costume. Romantic story.
Meryl Streep remains the most wonderful of actresses taking on amazing roles. Her dress and shawl in a shot where she is heading for her daughter’s wedding is breath taking. “Mama Mia”
Even if you do not care for her music, she shone in this movie and that amazing lime green dress, just made her sparkle. Amazing show “Burlesque”.
On the armchair lay an old doily that she fiddled with as she spoke. “I remember the day clearly, the day I stopped caring what Joseph thought. It was such freedom, such a marked day for me. I realized that I didn’t need to explain myself to him, didn’t need him to understand how he wronged me.”
She stopped to give her next words some thought, “When the day comes,” said Eleanor, clear and succinct, “that you do not care what someone thinks of you, that is the day you’re free of them.”

To all my writer friends:
Spell Check
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Now the big problem for real, is that the spell checker will find that ALL those words are spelled just ducky. Wait, except for chequer. Has a real problem with that word. All the rest are fine!
Have a good day writing!
