An unusual weekend for meOut of sorts
what to do next?
my focus has been off
when I'm at home.
It's weird. I was always
someone's wife, someone's mother
and now ... it's just me.
If something doesn't get done ... eh
it's ok, tomorrow's another day.
And yet I've this anxiety about getting
my house cleaned and minimized
because we never know how long we have
here on earth.
I have a passion for genealogy and in trying to
figure out my great grandmother's background,
I've come across her name, Ida, in an account of
some "soiled doves" and got to wondering if that's
where he met her? Her last name has always been
mysterious, as is her background info, and this
could explain it! I was perusing photos of
"soiled doves" and there are some excellent ones
that I've saved ... and of course, that got me wondering:
in 50+ years, will anyone look back at nudes
posted on the internet and think some were special in any way?
Here are two of my favs:
One word... Voluptuous!
ReplyDeleteWord Origin & History
voluptuous late 14c., "of desires or appetites," from O.Fr. voluptueux, from L. voluptuosus "full of pleasure, delightful," from voluptas "pleasure, delight," from volup "pleasurably," perhaps ultimately related to velle "to wish," from PIE *wol-/*wel- "be pleasing" (see will (v.)). Meaning "addicted to sensual pleasure" is recorded from mid-15c. Sense of "suggestive of sensual pleasure" is attested from 1816 (Byron); especially in ref. to feminine beauty from 1839. Voluptuary "one addicted to sensuous pleasures" is attested from c.1600.
Hey... thanks for the lesson, always fascinating to see where words started and how they've morphed over time! didn't know the word "voluptuary" ... I like it! ~Gal
