7 am. One tree down. And it was one I didn't expect to fall. A nice healthy Cypress. Shall see how many more will go before it all passes.

SNOW PATROL LYRICS

"Hands Open"

It's hard to argue when
you won't stop making sense
But my tongue still misbehaves and it
keeps digging my own grave with my

Hands open, and my eyes open
I just keep hoping
That your heart opens

Why would I sabotage
the best thing that I have
Well, it makes it easier to know
exactly what I want with my...

Hands open and my eyes open
I just keep hoping
that your heart opens

It's not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it's right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy

[x2]

Put Sufjan Stevens on
and we'll play your favorite song
"Chicago" bursts to life and your
sweet smile remembers you, my

Hands open, and my eyes open
I just keep hoping
That your heart opens

It's not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it's right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy

[x3]



I just love this song. And when you play one of your favorite songs first thing in the morning...starts you off in a pretty darn good mood. =D

I am so freakin tired right now. Yesterday, I cleaned all day, cooked and then played hostess. Feel like a truck hit me and I only had one margarita, I swear. I see a nap in my future today. Yes, a nice cozy nap. *sigh*

Weird Habits Meme [01 May 2006|12:34pm]
As instructed per [info]jessieflower

Once you are tagged you MUST write a blog entry about your 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next six people to be tagged and list their names.

1. Probably the weirdest thing I do or don’t do that makes everyone go ‘OMG you don’t!’ is that I do not eat veggies or fruits really. There are some exceptions, but for the most part I avoid them.

2. I only drink non-fat milk. My parents started me on it when I was a kid and now I don’t like the taste of other milk. I love milk too. I drink it everyday.

3. I’m a compulsive planner. Give me the job of planning something and I will obssess over it down to every little detail.

4. I am the worst at mailing things, bills, cards, presents. Online billing saves my butt most of the time. But I rarely get a birthday card out on time. My online friends get the benefit of email.

5. I need music to go to sleep to. Even my kids have adopted this habit.

6. I always have to have something to drink when I eat. And non-alcoholic too. If I order a coctail, I have to get a water too to drink with my meal.

Update and memes snagged from [info]shotofhemlock [29 Apr 2006|09:00am]
name meme )

stalker meme )


Just a brief update. Nothing majorly new here. Kids are almost out of school. Husband still hates his job. I still don't know what I want to do as a career.

Easter was nice. The weather held out for party on Saturday and we just had egg hunt inside on Sunday. Went on field trip to zoo and Fairytale Town yesterday. It was nice to get out. Gorgeous weather. I got to know my daughter's best friend's mom a little bit better. Marissa ended up spending the night at their house where they have four 4-week old kittens. I love the little boy one but they are deciding he is the one they are keeping. Our neighbor has two pregnant cats as well ready to pop any day. I think we will be getting at least one from that batch. Enzo (our 9 mo. old kitten) needs a playmate who can tolerate him. Glidden (our 13 yr. old cat) just can't deal with his energy.

Finally got our yard mowed. We have been dry for over a week now. It's amazing. Bought plants last weekend. Should probably get them in the ground today or tomorrow.

Family fun with dinner and bowling tonight. Hopefully Marissa can keep her ball rolling this time. She does it so lightly sometimes it just stops in the middle of the lane.

Oh and Hayley had her sixth grade camp where apparently she was just in her element. My friend who helped chaperone the trip told me Hayley should be a naturalist. I believe it. Either that or a chef. The kid loves to cook.

Valentine's Day!! [13 Feb 2006|06:16pm]
Yeah, okay. It isn't until tomorrow, but I thought I'd go ahead and post.

Tomorrow it will be 14 years for me and the hubby. A simple family celebration with dinner out is planned. The kids will have school parties, so lots of goodies will be everywhere. I'm thinking of baking brownies in my heart shaped pan. I have heart shaped muffin tins too, so I suppose whatever inspires me when I go to the store later. We already shopped this weekend for our mutual Anniversary present. Yes, 14 is the year of the ceiling fan, right. Decided to upgrade and add a little style, sick of our old dated ones that beam light down upon us and blind us. New ones cast the light up in a more attractive and functional fashion.

In other news, the colds continue to circulate. Hayley is the only healthy one at the moment. Even my mom caught it this time. Picking Girl Scout cookies up on Friday, so my house will be bombarded in boxes for a good week at least. Fun fun. I always worry so much about the money though, and losing it. I hate having to be responsible. Oi! And they want me to lead the troop again next year.

Well, here is to all of you, May you have a lovely Valentine's. Smooch someone or at least tell em you love em.

Just wanted to wish all a very good holiday. OMG my kitchen smells scrumptious. Just made my Cinnamon-Pecan Streussel Coffe Cake I got at Williams-Sonoma. *waves whiffs of warm sweet cinnamony goodness at you all*


Thanks so much for the Wickedness, [info]chimneysmoke. Marissa is completely involved with listening to it at this very moment.

The parade has just come on. Guess I better get started on my turkey. Just wanted to say thank you all for being my friends. I adore you all in so many ways. *huggles and smooches*




A bit blurry, but is a digital pic of an old pic of my grandpa setting me on his turkey for a ride. Hee. :P

Hey Mr. Postman [23 Nov 2005|10:37am]
First of all, no. I do not work for the U.S. Postal Service. I just wanted to pass along the cool and handy info since it is mass shipping season.


USPS has handy flat rate envelopes and boxes that you can stuff and mail for one low rate, anywhere, regardless of weight. Plus you can order the supplies, pay the postage and print the mailing labels all online with your credit card. Plus you can arrange for the supplies to be delivered to your home and arrange for your carrier to pick up your packages for you. How cool is that? No more cranky long lines at the post office. YAY!

For more info on all this check it out at http://www.usps.com/

They also have cards you can pick, put a personal message in and have sent. You can even purchase a gift card from popular stores to be inserted. Gotta love it.

I redid my journal all by myself. I am somewhat pleased. It is simple but I like my banner and the way everyones icons pop on the dark background. Fun fun. New default icon with all my Trilogy charries icons on it. It could use a tweak, but I'll deal with it another time. Off to rp now. Ta.



Oh, oh, oh. Can't forget to wish the almighty [info]chimneysmoke a supreme and marvelous Sweet 16! Love ya, Katiekins. *smooches galore*
