"On a country road"...James Taylor, anyone? 

Aww!! 

This here's the camp fire that Cheryl built for us to enjoy when Liz was here... 

Purty Purty 

WoW... 

Amazing shots... 

A BEAUTIFUL shot of the fire fairies... 

Yours Truly cooking the marshmellows the PROPER Girl Scrout way... 

An excellent pic of us, me thinks.  

An outhouse at the stable Cheryl used to work at. Yes, it says, Mares & Studs. (Again, thanks to Liz.) 

A local pond, again, Courtesy of Liz 

A pretty shot of our railroad, courtesy of Liz. 

AWW!! Here's Alex with the Buddha belly doggy...AREN'T THEY FRIKKIN ADORABLE?! 

Kinda blurry, but one of the twins took this pic. 

WTF?!

i must say,
i forgot to congratulate my Bella...
SHE GOT THE JOB!!
her working in cola will ease my mind so much more.
only 30 minutes away,
vs. 1.5 hrs away.
*WooT*
yall know what?
i'm all for South Park,
right?
I love how they push matters to the edge of non-political correctness taboo.
But damn,
I think I've finally been disgusted by them.
"The most recent episode of South Park, "Hell on Earth 2006," featured a Halloween bash thrown by Satan. When Satan finds out one of the guest has come dressed as the late Steve Irwin, who was killed last month when a stingray stung him through the heart. Satan approached the guest to tell him his costume, complete with a stingray hanging from the chest, was inappropriate and it was "too soon," but it turns out the guest is actually the Crocodile Hunter himself. Satan then kicks him out for not having a costume."
WTF, man?!
thats fucked up,
even if south Park is an equal opportunist mean ass.
We're going to Florence for the remainder of the weekend.
I hope my back will cooperate.
I can't wait to see my boys & my grandma, though.
Peace out, Chicken Shitters.



There you are in the early light of day
There you are in the quiet words I pray
I've been blessed by the simple happiness
Of the perfect love we've made
Every time I turn around
When I'm lost and when I'm found
Like an angel standing guard
There you are
Every time I take a breath and when I forget to breathe
You're watching over me there you are
When I'm looking for the light in the middle of the night
Searching for the brightest star
There you are
There you are standing in a crowded room
There you are the earth and I'm the moon
My desire is to stand by the fire
That burns inside of you
Every time I turn around
When I'm lost and when I'm found
Like an angel standing guard
There you are
Every time I take a breath and when I forget to breathe
You're watching over me there you are
When I'm looking for the light in the middle of the night
Searching for the brightest star
There you are
When I'm looking for the light in the middle of the night
Searching for the brightest star
There you are
There you are
There you are

Yada Yada Yada

this weekend was great!
we took it easy;
rode the 4 wheeler,
had a campfire,
relaxed,
and talked.
shurl taught liz how to drive the four wheeler,
if i can get that video uploaded i'll leave a link on here.
i cooked hamburgers on the grill for the first time,
steve would be proud.
i got a 86 on my history exam,
and a 92 on my dog essay in english.
i did my topic & thesis statement for my argumentative ppr in english
topic: why gay marriage should be legalized.
thesis statement: Depriving Americans of their Constitutional rights for gay marriage goes beyond a preconceived notion of fear, politics, religion, or discrimination; it is a deliberate, methodical, contradictory injustice of those same laws that provide all Americans with "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
well i'm outta here,
gone to walmart to buy over the hedge!!
*WooT*

Same campfire, 'cept this time its in Sepia. (These are off my new camera.) 

Our campfire in a B&W shot. Freaky-tiki, huh? 

Here's my fat ass cooking on the grill for the first time EVER on Sunday!! I fed 10 people hamburgers and hotdogs. None died of poisoning and all said my burgers were absolutely DELISH!! *WooT*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLA!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BELLA!!

Whenever I chance to meet
some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a *girl* get to be this way
I've always got a smiling face
Anytime and any place
And everytime they ask me why I just smile and say
You've got to Kiss an angel good morning
and let you know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good morning
and love her like the devil when you get back home


When darkness falls upon your heart and soul.
I'll be the light that shines for you.
When you forget how beautiful you are
I'll be there to remind you.
When you can't find your way,
I'll find my way to you.
When troubles come around,
I will come to you.
I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter.
When you need someone to see you through.
I'll be there to carry you.
I'll be there.
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you.
The one that will hold on to you.
When you feel that rain falling down.
When there's nobody else around.
I'll be.
And when you're there with no one there to hold.
I'll be the arms that reach for you.
And when you feel your faith is running low.
I'll be there to believe in you.
When all you find are lies.
I'll be the truth you need.
When you need someone to run to.
You can run to me
I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter.
When you need someone to see you through.
I'll be there to carry you.
I'll be there.
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you.
The one that will hold on to you.
When you feel that rain falling down.
When there's nobody else around.
I'll be.
I'll be the sun.
When your heart's filled with rain.
I'll be the one.
To chase the rain away.
I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter.
When you need someone to see you through.
I'll be there to carry you.
I'll be there.
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you.
The one that will hold on to you.
When you feel that rain falling down.
When there's nobody else around.
I'll be.
I'll be.

Time

all is well in my kingdom.
laughter permeates throughout the walls of our home.
fall is here;
a time of reflection,
before Demeter's grief sets in.
the autumn smell
is nostalgic to my senses.
the beginnings of my rock garden
will start taking shape this week.
my how things change.
my reality is far better than any pixie dust i ever imagined.
i am unbelievably thankful to the powers that be.
stop.
let go.
and feel it.


I was on a fast curve, lost my nerve on a dead end road
I was goin' nowhere faster than two legs can go
Never thought I'd slow down
I'm glad I finally know now
That's life, if you open up your eyes
You'll find it gets better all the
Time, time, time...
Sometimes it's amazing just how blind a girl can be
If I weren't busy runnin'
I might have seen it comin'
That's life, if you open up your eyes
You'll find it gets better all the
Time, time, time
Running out of time, I'm runnin' away
I'm running out of ways of running away
Got to slow down, if you don't, you're gonna breakdown
I'm runnin' out of time, time, time...
The moment that our eyes met I knew I'd never forget
Sometimes the thing you most need is right there, but you can't see
That's life, if you open up your eyes
You'll find it gets better all the
Time, time, time

Everyday Love

so i called the wench, mary barr.
true to herself, she is still the ever so classic lovely individual she is.
i suppose some things never change.
no skin offa my arse.
speaking of my arse,...
i'm studying my arse off for my second exam next thursday.
*wish me luck*
i'm getting excited about cheryl's bday.
i hope her gift gets here in time.
i hope i can find a resolution to liz's gift situation.
i know i will.
ah, the perils of everyday life...


Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Each morning the sun shines through my window
Lands on the face of a dream come true
I shuffle to the kitchen for my coffee
And catch up on the front page morning news
Then she walks up behind me and throws her arms around my neck
Just another normal thing I've come to expect
It's ordinary plain and simple
Typical, this everyday love
Same ol', same ol' keeping it new
(Same ol'/This everyday love)
Emotional, so familiar
Nothing about it too peculiar
Oh, but I can't get enough
Of this everyday love
Every afternoon I make a phone call
Listen to the voice that warms my heart
I drag myself through a few more hours
Then head on home to try and beat the dark
Her smile will be right there when I step through that door
And it will be that way tomorrow, just like everyday before
Wouldn't change one single thing about it
No, it's run-of-the-mill, still I can't live without it
Yeah, of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough

*sigh*

tomorrow a.m.
Mawmaw is getting her tooth pulled
*sigh*
she said Mary Barr called her
God how I absolutely LOATHE when that wretched SNAKE slithers her way to my good Grandma.
That is the Snake's way of slithering her manipulation my way, to my direction. It is her calling.
you know, i've tried to find something residing deep within me
something can forgive her
something that can sympathise
can empathise...
something.
but i can't.
what lesson am i supposed to learn from her?
definately to love.
and love with my WHOLE self.
another moment of pondering...
if there is reincarnation,
and we all predetermine our own lives,
including the people within them...
then i wonder what THE HELL i was thinking to rewrite her back into this go 'round?!
*sigh*
Goddess help me.
I have an Exam next week, as well.
*sigh*
