"I could really use a wish right now"

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)


Yeah
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you're staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back
But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel
And they sayin' what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night

"Gravity"

"Oh twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like a one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees."

Gravity - John Mayer

Please pray

My mom is taking my grandmother to the hospital. Gram has a 101 temperature. So please, please, please pray. Gram has been to the hospital 5 or 6 times in the last few years. She has bile duct cancer. Every time she goes to hospital we think that this is it, and every time she has pulled through. But this time is different. She doesn't seem very sick (aside from the temperature) but she is so weak. And she is getting weaker. Some day her heart will just stop becaus it can't keep going. That is my fear. So again please pray.

Saturday

This is Saturday. But I forgot that last night and set my alarm. So I woke up to the blaring *ee ee ee* it was not the best way to start the day. But then I remembered. Saturday! I can just lie here for as long as I like - sort of. That was nice. When I did get up I discovered that the whole family was at my little brothers basketball game. With out me. But they won anyway. 93 - 9. That was nice too. Next I have to tidy up the decks and wash the kitchen floor. Both of which - if you can belive it - are chores that I actually enjoy. Then we are probably going to read some more Lord Of The Rings. This is promosing to be a very nice Saturday. 

The first hints

There is a paper white narcissus on our dinning room table. Just one. But it grew, it flourished and it blossomed out side. That means that it must be almost spring!

Yesterday I counted five daffodil buds among the green stems. That means we may have cheerful, golden blooms by my birthday. The ranunculus and anemones have started coming up in my little flower garden. And the hill behind the house is beginning to get green. Soon there will be poly-wogs in the creek down the hill. My little brother may think he is too old for such things but I intend to try and catch some, as I have for years. But you never know. He may come with. Soon I will be pulling out my paint box and hunting all over the neighbor-hood for just the right thing to paint, and I will find it. It seems like some how you always do... in the spring.

Reading aloud

When we (myself and my older siblings) were little there was always a read aloud going. Every night we would sit down in the living room and Daddy would take out two books. 1. the bible and 2. what ever we were reading aloud at the time. Some of my favorites included The Scarlet Pimpernail, Black Fox of Lorne and The Lord of the Rings. We are now revisiting the past and reading The Lord of the Rings again. My little brother dosn't remeber that some of the hobbets at Bilbo's birthday party left by a back way and came back in at the front so as to get another presant. He dosn't remember Tom Bombadill or the scouring of the Shire. These are all things that he should know. Things that should always be available in the back of his mind incase he ever wants to revivsit them, and things that I like to revisit both in my mind and in the book. So we are reading again, and I am watching Bren get these things for the first time and through him I am seeing them newly too and it is fun.

If I were a bird...

I think, if I were a bird, I would like to be a peacock...

Or maybe an albino peacock...

Or maybe, if I couldn't make up my mind, I would be both...



New template

I know it isn't red - red shoes and peacock feathers - but swirls, orange, pink! It was just so cute that I decided to roll with it any way... so sue me =).

Summer! (I wish)

Southern California in January is the best idea anybody ever had!


"Summer has come and passed
But I want it back so bad" =).
