i dreamt i saw you walking
up a hillside in the snow
casting shadows on the winter sky
as you stood there counting crows
one for sorrow, two for joy,
three for girls, and four for boys,
five for silver, six for gold, and
seven for a secret never to be told

there's a bird that nests inside you
sleeping underneath your skin
when you open up your wings to speak
i wish you'd let me in

from "a murder of one" ~ counting crows
mellow happy day . . .

i had a lovely dinner at Plaz Tekk & Sarah's last night! i got off work at 7pm . . . oh! well, let me start at the beginning.

i drove out to Dallas on Saturday night to drop off the books i promised Naomi and she still wasn't home and since i don't have a somebody's number or know where they live, i turned right back around and went home. it was ok, though, i was not in the greatest mood and had a tremendous headache. i took something to alleviate my headache and it didn't work. i took more. nope. i took something else and then *BLAM!* i passed out. i slept from 9pm until 6am and went to work at 7am.

i logged in to everything and sat there, all woozy and foggy-headed for a while and then Yabble-Yabble got here and i went down stairs to work on my project. and found out that when they (physically) moved our department, they added internet back on to our desk computers!!!! yes, they moved us a month and a half ago, but i don't go to my desk often, OK? i work in the ops area in the center of the building where all the monitoring crap is, so i just didn't notice until now. (i know, i know, i still reside under that boulder.) i went to work immediately on getting my settings set, my passwords saved and AIM installed. then i proceeded to blow the rest of the day playing on the internet! HUZZAH! now i can officially waste time for a whole day and still look like i'm working! (ok, so maybe i should aim a little higher, but right now . . . nah.)

i chatted with the sleepy Crackhead, my sis, and the object of all your dreams then Cyn came up to pick up her check and show off her new car that she can't ever drive! it was so funny, she and Robert were arguing over her driving lessons . . . they are so damn cute together. i wanna yak. Don't get me wrong, it's sweet and i'm happy for her, but i dunno, i guess i miss her. Sometimes it's irritating that i only see the pair of them about once a month and never just Cyn. Well, that happens. Russ bailed on me for Mary and i'm still not sure what to think of that.

So, anyways, we all go out and 'ohhh, ahhh' over my truck then drive around the building to 'ohhh, ahhh' over her 2001 Toyota Corolla and then they leave to go do what ever it is sticky sweet couples in love do on Sunday afternoons . . . laundry, in think.

i come back in and there's my Liv ONLINE! i was so happy! We chatted some and traded some links before Randy called to ask me what street i was on and i directed him here and signed off for a bit to go grab lunch. He brought me a gift! he found a bumpersticker that reads: "Don't try to outweird me. i get weirder things than you with my breakfast cereal."! It was absolutely fabulous! i come back to chat and say g'bye to Liv, play on my diary for a while longer, change the look again, and leave to have dinner with Plaz & Sarah.

The charming baby was wonderful and i got to love on him while i cooked `cause i spoil him shamelessly and hold him and kiss him and pat his back and play with his cute little feet . . . so, i am a sucker for a cute guy with a sweet demeanor. He's not complaining! i made tortilla soup `cause i have been craving it and i was issued a challenge, so i needed to practice. Once it was done, we all sat down to watch Coyote Ugly. i loved it. The sappy stuff was bad, but overall, it was fun and surprising. Then, Sarah & i dyed. She used 'penetrating purple' that turned out 'vague purple highlights when she stands directly under the light and hops around', i used 'denim blue' and it turned out 'very dirty eggplant' due to the brassy orange-red i had. We decided to skip the cheap stuff next week and just go all out. i still want blue. It's the only color i want that i haven't had yet. i think we will both always think of each other when we dye . . . we do this a lot. And while we are there with dye all over our heads we dance around the apartment and sing stupid songs, form each other's hair into strange shapes that defy gravity and generally do goofy things that Plaz points at and calls crack. Can i just say, i love Plaz? His mind is just so sexy! And, since Sarah's plan in life was to find the strangest man in the world and marry him, i'd have to say she succeeded!


i have no lyrics today ~ but i do have a suggestion:

the soundtrack to the movie Rush. it is all Clapton instrumental except three songs. the whole thing just flows so exquisitely, i love it for a mellow day.
