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'm a little tea-pot!!!

Last night was lovely and fun and happy. i have been so happy lately that i smile too much and i am certain i am losing IQ points. That's ok, since i'm a little tea-pot . . . don't ask.

i didn't feel like sitting still at all at work, so i didn't and that was ok. i am supposed to have a secret at work and i was pegged on it yesterday, but by someone i trust enough not to say anything. He knows i would kill him. And smile while doing so. i was late getting out of work since we have added so much crap to do in the quest to become management, and Myste was waiting on me but she was cool about it, and my baby-girl was happy to see me!

As soon as i picked her up we went to Russ' and swam all afternoon. The water was cold almost to the point of shrinkage but not quite and there was Marco Polo and splashing and yelling and flashing and throwing and mooning all manner of silliness. i learned not to challenge Russ ~ he CAN pick my ass up and throw me in. i also learned that he can dunk both me and Mary at the same time and that he is far too cautious for us to pants him. My boobs float. In case of an emergency, they can be used as a floatation device. Russ says so. They used to scare him but they somehow lost their power to frighten and i don't know if i like that.

We finally pruned beyond recognition and got out at 7:40 and discussed food. After a half an hour Russ and i saw a Mexican food commercial and started craving fajitas . . . SOOOO . . . OFF TO THE STORE WE WENT! We were there about an hour and then i got out of the way and let the man cook. i so love the sight of a man in the kitchen! And he is amazing ~ i had to steal the onions . . . he is the other best onion caramelizer in the world and they were divine! It took two hours total and we ate really late. i left at midnight.

i'm a little tired right now . . .


"Could've Gone Mad" ~ Poe
"You cause in me an impossible craving
That cannot be denied
If i decided to make you my religion
i think God would be kind

So i made a wish on a million of her stars
And registered your name on a few
That way if you forget who you are
You can look up and see a picture of you

i'm so glad you decided to come

Another day and i could've gone mad
Another day and it might've gotten bad
Another day and i might have betrayed
Every scruple i have . . .
