slightly salty

buttery & sweet
hard round candy morsels

and so the botttom falls out

just when things seem like they will be 'ok' i go & do something so stupid......AGAIN...... it never fails, if you want to make sure something fails, leave it to me & i will be sure to wreck it....ESPECIALLY if it involves my life

today is her birthday!

35 LONG YEARS AGO she was finally born

look at all she has done....

....look at all she has accomplished

she's a wonder to behold

this gift from God

a role model for me

BFF

....just heard this song on NO SHOES RADIO (www.noshoesradio.com) and it sent shivers up my spine as i listened to it and thought of my BFFs.....how close we have become over the years........

EMILY - beth neilsen chapman


My oh my, time sure flies
I like what you've done to your hair
I've been fine, yeah, these boys are mine
That must be your little girl there

Some friendships grow distant with time
And it's no wonder, Emily, so much can change    
We're too far to visit, too busy to write
But a closeness between us remains

CHORUS:

Best friends are made through smiles and tears
And sometimes that fades over miles and years
But I knew right away when I saw you again
Emily, we'll always be friends

I still sing now and then
Mostly at weddings for friends
And I just bet you still get
A yearning to paint now and then

They tore down our whole street
Now there's a bank where the house was we shared back in school
Remember we both have each other to thank      
For all the boyfriends we're not married to              

CHORUS

"Stay as you are and you'll go far"
You signed my yearbook
"Don't forget me when you're a big star"

We can't stay, it's getting late
And they said not to let you get tired
We'll just be up the street
The number's right here by your side

Oh no it's no trouble
I don't want to hear how all this changes my plans
I'll see you tomorrow
Call me tonight, Emmy, please let me do what I can

CHORUS 

Come on over
Drink my wine
Waste my candles
Waste my time
Tell me lies I won’t believe
Just don’t wake me when you leave
Come on over
Kick me to the ground
Kiss me when I’m down

Just an hour or two
Is better than none of you
I miss you

wah....wah...wah...

my boys have gone to kentucky...............i took them to san jose airport last night..............they are gonna be gone until next week thursday :( i am lost without them here....life is too quiet without the goofball & the knucklehead climbing on me...jumping off of me....biting me....and giving me sweet zerbits. (i did tell  mom & dad to let them stay home with me...but they didn't agree with me :( drats!)

georgie porgie puddin' pie

li'l george is movin' forward.......mama told dede that he was dry this morning when she got him up to take luke to school...............AND he stayed dry ALL THE WAY BACK HOME....he ran in the house pulled off his pjs and his pull up and he went peepee in da potty (LOTS!!!!) ....this is a milestone day....wonder if he'll do it again tomorrow mornin'?

WOOOHOOOO yay georgie!!!! <3

proof is in the pudding

i guess that it's really true...i AM here all alone talking to myself........................well what should i do to entertain myself?

• sing a song
• write a poem
• talk nonsensically
• let my imagination wander
• dream a little dream of...

...if anyone is out there....YOU can help me decide how to keep me entertained :)

dipping my big toe in....

i have had this (not so) prolific little blog for about a year now
....all this time i've kept it to myself...but right now at this very moment i have decided to stick my big toe in the water & SHARE it.......

does that mean i think i have something profound to say?
do i have something to share?

NOPE!

i just wonder if i am all alone? or is there someone out there in cyberspace that finds my thoughts interesting?

tuesdays with morrie

it's read across america day (well that's what sandra said!) and i've always wanted to read that book......guess one of these days i should actually buy it?! lol

music

i am truly a sucker for the songs of the late 60's and the 70's.....those songs bring me back to a place that was safe. a space in time where i only had to wonder......never worry

i'm listening to no shoes radio on the internet......the music they play bounces from the 'old standards' like sinatra....through bob marley & the wailers.......with a taste of country and a dash of rock just to round things out

singer/songwriters have always been my favorites. they weave a tale with their words & tunes......relating it to my own life. evoking snapshots & memories of days long gone......

...i think i can make it now the rain is gone.....it's gonna be a bright bright bright sun shiny day........

just me

this is a blog...it's just me....talking to myself....no one else is here to critique all of my fears

01 mar 2010 time is rushing fast....i just want to slow down for a new york minute.
