Never Underestimate The Power Of Verbal Puppy Dog Eyes

They can hit a curveball out of the park. More proof that kindness is not overrated and that my husband's charms work even over the phone. The weekend is back on track.

I Guess I Spoke Too Soon

Now I'm the one getting the Friday afternoon curveball. Just when I think it's all going to be ok, Kentucky has to step in and shake me up. Where the heck is Harold, anyway? Apparently, it's beyond BFE. Dern.

The Happiness Found In A Friday

Beautiful weather, relaxing plans, only one day left to run this week. The potential for perfection draws me in and fills me up. Maybe my optimism isn't such a secret.

I'm Turning Off The Repeat

Moving on to a new song. Appropriate for 10:13 tonight.

Oh underneath I felt the fire of a burning question

tearing me apart

right from the very start

and now I see

that it don't take a trick

of the light to excite me.

Hold On - KT Tunstall

I Can't Tear Myself Away

I had some good, random song lyrics for today. But, suddenly, the sky is clouding up and I can't break away from yesterday's song. Wistful and promising with beautifully yearning violins. So, here I go, leaving it on repeat, watching the sky change from blue to gray, a bad habit that I don't want to overcome.

Green Should Be My Color

Because sometimes I find myself to be completely ridiculous.

Today's Song Addiction

When the world around you starts a-movin'

And you should wonder if I still love you,

If you feel a darkness coming, risin' inside

I'll make a light to guide you back home.

Wise Words From My 8 Year Old

"You need a reason to be sad. You never need a reason to be happy."

This, of course, is the same child who told our neighbor "You think being 4 is tough? Wait until you go to third grade." Ahhh, perspective!

I'm A Slacker, Too

I better get moving or I'll be singing the No Internet Blues next week.

Lyrically Random

The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey.

Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again.

With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.

A quiver in my lips as if I might cry.

Maybe Practical Is Better

There's interest brewing about our house. Big interest. Coincidence that it happened after I started wishing mostly practical wishes? I think not.

Now, if only I could get all the other wishes to work the way I want them to...

Internal Alarm Clock

It's very dark at 2am lying in bed, breathing softly, listening for sounds of stealth.

Shut Your Eyes And Sing To Me

Believe it or not, I'm always paying attention.

Someone Forgot To Teach Me How To Do This Correctly

Another week begins. Hope there isn't a pop quiz. I never study.

A Stuffy Head

Makes me think crazy thoughts. Like I want to sell our house today and move tomorrow. Even a tall, hot mocha doesn't take away the feeling that I can't live here any more. (At least until next week) I'm such a whiner when I don't feel good. Maybe checkers would help...or ice cream...or an EP...
