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...
