I Like Thursday # 387 Friendship, organization, art and a poodle!

 

do you know what time it is? Time for another I Like Post... 

I like painting and have done 8 small Valentine paintings this week... which I'll share on Saturday's Creativity round up. 

I try to live a creative life around cooking, chores, and laundry!! LOL

Love is Love

It's February so I got out the Valentine's kitchen towels...

I like watching the Bachelor on TV which is back, yea! Not much else on to talk about there

I'm sorting and reorganizing the studio which is kind of fun for me. I think you need to update organization as we change over time.  One of my likes this week is Ikea now delivers to our house, and I got this unit (they've changed their drawer units) to give me space to organize all my beads so I can find them. That started a whole thing, shifting things, getting rid of some stuff, etc

I'm still working on it, making it work for me, so relieved I don't have to lift stacked things now
 

Our Prompt this week is 

what qualities do you look for/love in a friend?  All friends are great but a few grow to be really close.

What do you look for in a mate? What qualities can you mention that you believe to be good for a mate

Big love topics this week! 

Let's see... Trust is big for me,  trust that I won't be made fun of, or my secrets told, that I can count on the person in general. Honesty is big, tell me the truth. Kindness. Humor  so we can laugh at each other's jokes (not each other) intelligence so we can have good conversations. All my friends are multi talented and interested in life. Love of pets is a plus. I hope they find joy in being with me like I do them, and giving each other grace when we misspeak . Acceptance. 

I was adopted but never accepted... my family didn't know who I was because they never really saw me. I love belonging with a friend...to share things, we laugh and cry together, we are happy for each other when we succeed and share the hard times... 

I think all that for a mate, since they really are your best friend often. Additionally a mate should share your values... what's important in life. How to spend money, how to raise poodles, what makes a place good to live in... doesn't matter if you like different food or music or books. It's important if you both like books, music, and food though. 

a friend was going to some sacred place in S. America and told me, to write down everything I wanted in a mate and she'd take it there. I wrote in small script, front and back of a lined sheet of paper, everything from wants to read in bed at night, to dances, to believes in the golden rule, etc.... I didn't mention race or age, as that didn't matter to me. Likes to stay home, but enjoys travel did. and more. 

I was lucky when I met my husband to be, that he pretty much met every item. It's not been a day at the beach all the time, but we've gone through it together. My mate should believe in his vows on our wedding day, like the song goes, when I said I do, I meant I will... as dependability and integrity mean much to me. 

Milo's Moments

Milo: I like a human to be nice. I like them to take care of me, let me out when I want to, feed me when I want to eat, keep my water bowl full. I like them to take an interest in my toys, understand when I have to bark, pet me gently and let me sleep with them at night. 

3 months old

In a dog friend, they have to share toys, run with me, like to play poodle games like my teeth are bigger, or run around fast. It's a plus if they also like to chase squirrels and bark at passing cars! I don't like aggressive dogs or people. Be gentle, you never know what a poodle or person has been through.
