About This Author
I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Poisoned Purple Pen
 
She sat down at her old wooden desk, pen at the ready. Her thoughts raced. What shall I write today? Tilting her head to the side, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before enveloping her delicate face. The purple ink began to fill the once blank sheet, each stroke a labor of pure joy as the words flowed from her mind, her heart, her very soul.
My Dreams...
to write of romance and endless love
to love without boundaries
to learn from past mistakes
to laugh with all my heart
to be the woman I am meant to be
TODAY...
I will reach for the stars
Will not give up
Will give all that I have
Dare to dream the impossible dream
For anything in this life is possible
 <---I am blown away by this

Prompt: Dying is illegal in the Houses of Parliaments – This has been voted as the most ridiculous law by the British citizens. What's your take?
What weird laws exist on the books where you live? If you could write a weird law, what would it be?
Let's just say I'm stunned by how stupid some of these are. I mean, come on, when do lawmakers deem it time to change some of these outdated laws? Ever? Doesn't look that way in Michigan.
For instance:
A woman isn’t allowed to cut her own hair without her husband’s permission.
Well, I've committed this crime multiple times. Good thing R hasn't reported me to the police or I'd be donning orange scrubs.
Adultery is illegal, but can only be punished upon a complaint by the affected husband or wife.
I don't recall this actually being used with adultery rates so high.
No man may seduce and corrupt an unmarried girl, or else he risks five years in prison.
Good luck with this law, Michigan.
Couples are banned from making love in an automobile unless the act takes place while the vehicle is parked on the couple’s own property.
Umm, hello. How stupid is this one? I highly doubt if couples wanted to get busy in the car they would park in front of their own home to do so. Where is the fun and excitement of it if your bed is a few feet away?
Willfully destroying your old radio is prohibited
Uh huh. Wonder if this one was ever enforced. Not that the law itself makes any sense to me.
It is illegal for a man to scowl at his wife on Sunday
Ding, ding, ding, ding, DING! Now this little beauty may come in handy. I can seriously see myself using it to get my way on Sunday's.  I'll let you know how it goes. 
Being the law breaker that I am, I'm all for making changes to what's there already. I don't think we need anymore bizarre laws that no one follows anyway.

So sorry for your family's loss, T. I've been through that sadness with the loss of a couple expected grandchildren. It's a terrible loss.
