TWENTY-EIGHT DAYS of LOVE....Day 25

 

I love the red printed words on the candy hearts as you can tell.  I think they are interesting to write about.  Yesterday’s candy heart saying was XXOO or when translated is kisses and hugs.  We use the X’s and O’s on cards and letters we send our love ones.  Once when writing to a boyfriend in the military I cut up little red squares and put an X on some and an O on the others. He said he got a laugh out of it but the guys teased him.  Many said he should share with the ones not getting any hugs and kisses.  
I’ve used chocolate kisses as an expression of love at times.  These days of sending electronic greetings I think most are using emojis to express kisses 😘 and hugs πŸ€—. 
I found it a fun word or let’s say symbol to write about.  
The first piece is how clueless some people can be.  The woman (his secret admirer) gives him the candy and the card with the XX’s and OO’s at the bottom. She even wore a shirt with those markings but it did not register with the guy.  I sometimes think men are clueless on what a woman is wearing.  To prove a point I asked my husband what color shirt I had on yesterday.  He answered red; no it was pink. 
The X’s and O’s of tic-tac-toe I compared to love.  One takes a chance where love is concerned.  Will the object of your affection feel the same? It’s luck and chance in my book you find that one person who’ll feel the same. 
The third piece just says it in simple words how we uses those two letters capitalized to express feeling.  I smile when I do see it on something for me. 
Terry’s fantastic word of the day FACETIOUS.  There are times I am quite the facetious individual.  I used the word in a piece between the two people in the piece CLUELESS.  It says it all I’m sure. 
I enjoy doing pieces relating from other pieces; eventually I’ll have to put them all together in some order.  
I enjoyed doing the wacky holiday writing. It’s quite true when I did go out on a Wednesday late afternoon I’d be inconvenienced to find decent parking spot due to all those wanting to be out doing karaoke.  Don’t even get me started on the karaoke topic.  It’s like a drug for many; they need to be out whether they can sing or not.  They want their three minutes of being the star. I was one who went constantly but after awhile it’s blasΓ©. Who knows I may go back someday.  When, now that’s a good question.   
Where has this week gone?  The other day it seemed I cried about writer’s block and now it’s Friday Eve. 
Until tomorrow....keep positive and as always Stay Safe.

                          CLUELESS

XX’s and OO’s at the bottom 
      of the card
No name....just the markings
Her black shirt had a red heart with
   XOXO in the middle
She worn it that day
He should have figured it out
    she was the one 
  the giver of the red tin of chocolate kisses
    and the card
How dumb could he be....then again    
      sometimes he was clueless

                    GAME of LOVE 

X  O  X  O   
Just like a game of tic-tac-toe
Will the X’s win or will the O’s
When you play the game you never know
A lot like love 
  a game of luck and chance

                           X X O O 

Kisses and hugs
      Hugs and kisses
  Written on the card or letter
Sending virtual hugs and kisses 
      through the mail
  XXOO OOXX 
Or via email to someone special
It always make me smile when I see them
      sent to me 

➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰
                        NO CLUE 

She told him “you’re so clueless 
You couldn’t figure it out if handed
   the answer”
He stared at her 
  unsure of what she meant by clues
Was there something he should know about 
     a puzzle or mystery to solve 
 or is she being facetious as 
       usual....’clueless’....about what he 
             wondered

   WACKY HOLIDAYS FEBRUARY 24th
 (National Tortilla Chip Day; National Dance 
    Day; World Bartender Day; Pink Shirt Day 
       and Inconvenience Yourself Day)

Pink, my color of choice for the day
  shirt, socks, hat and purse 
     black shorts with pink trim
Heading out for an early evening of fun
     and drinks ....one of my favorite 
         bartenders working tonight 
Possible a margarita or two to enjoy with 
  the free salsa and tortilla chips
I’ll sip and dip while listening to karaoke 
     singers
      watch people dance
An relaxing Hump day evening 
    just an inconvenience with parking at the 
     club on karaoke nights
