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
i know, it's NUMBER TWO!

Hhmmmmm . . . i know this is two in a day but the first one was typed up a day or two ago and i just got so busy i forgot to update.

i have a lovely friend that i pestered and bothered and he finally got a D*Land JOURNAL (it's NOT a diary!) and since i got him to sign on, i thought it'd be fun to rescue him from the d-land template until he crafts a look of his own . . . if he wants to craft one! So, i did! And he LOVED it! i was so happy . . .

Since we're discussing diary templates, i still have several that have no home. i have begun to make them up on whims i get while bored at work. It helps me keep my sanity since i don't actually have anything to say and i just want to play with html. i need a new skill i can explore since i have the whole image mapping thing down now.

My Mom is getting sliced and diced today. They are sawing her jaw in several places and inserting spacers so that it can grow back a little bigger than it was before. This is to correct her T.M.J. Do i know what i just said? Kinda. i have a horrible vision in my head of my Mom, with a great flapping head ~ like a South Park Canadian. Too weird.

This means soup, soup, applesauce, Ensure, and more soup at the parent's . . . for everyone. It's all about empathy and commiseration. i don't mind. But then, i am only there 1-3 days a week.

i haven't picked up my baby girl yet! i saw her on Thursday morning when i dropped her off at school and since then she has been staying the night with friends and her daddy and having friends stay with her at her daddy's and generally having more fun there than i could show her right now, so i have allowed the week to extend. It IS the first week out of school so it seemed like a good idea. She's having fun and though i miss her, i want her to be a kid and have fun.

Speaking of the other side of Roni's life, Chip and Myste signed on a house. They'll be moving to the other side of the huge city i live next to in July. It's about a 40 minute drive as she tells it. i just don't know what to think about that. It'll have some permanence and that'll be great for Roni, but it's so far away from here. And the permanence depends on Chip actually KEEPING the house. i swear to you it's not a shot at him ~ he doesn't have the best track record at keeping the nice things he has, so it'll ultimately be up to Myste to make it work, i'm sure. Mayhap i need to buy her a whip . . . or a riding crop . . . hhhmmmm
