Webster's definition of Diva is: goddess, from Latin, feminine of divus divine, god.
I want to be a Diva.
There are (according to Google): Cruise Diva's, Tango Diva's, Singing Diva's, Wine Diva's, Diva Perfumes, Phenomenal Diva's, Stitch Diva's, Blogging Diva's, Web Design Diva's, Hotel Diva's, Surf Diva's, Troubled Diva's, Diva clothing, Scrapbook Diva's, Dashing Diva's, Movie Diva's, Quiz Diva's, and Diva Lingerie.
Hell, there is even a Diva Cup. (You do not want to know what this is...trust me.)
But...is there a Sandy Diva? ohhellno
I can't be a Cruise Diva - have never been on a cruise. Don't tango. I am not what you would call phenomenal at anything. I don't sing (not in front of people anyway. Thank your lucky stars for that one.) I don't surf (unless you count surfing blogs or the internet.). Scrapbook? I don't have time for that. Hotel? Have stayed in a few. Quiz Diva? Ohgod, does that mean I have to answer questions??
And I sure as hell don't need a Diva Cup. Mother nature took care of that for me thankyouverymuch.
Let's see...can I be a Peon Diva? or "I've had AOL for over 10 years" Diva? or "I have a 23 yr old son and am always broke" Diva? or "the laundry needs done - again" Diva? or "Nonglamorous" Diva? Is there such a thing?
Do Divas have to be gorgeous? Can't there be a plain-jane Diva?
Everytime I sign online, or look in a magazine - you see women who are called "Diva's"...they dress very nice, have great hair, money, jewelry...
Me? Jeans and tennie runners - and hair that I fight every day to lay straight...(yes, God had a good laugh when he made me with kinkycurlywavyfrizzy hair).
Diva's seem to have this magical life. They tour and have people wanting their autographs, taking their pictures, filling their every wish.
Me? Data entry, fixing puters, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, making beds.......
I don't have to be a beautiful Diva (cause then you would hate me wouldn't you?...well, thats what the commercials say!)...
But it would be kind of nice to be a goddess...just for a little while :)

You could be my angel.
A divine angel and not a fallen angel.
The word diva is so over used nowadays. Anybody that throws a tantrum is called a diva. What's wrong with Goddess? It's fresh & simple.
