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
at 12:30 AM, this is early for me to go to bed.

i have come here and started entries about four times, but it just hasn't flowed at all. i don't know why, there's plenty to say.

Saturday, i got up incredibly early and took Jian to work and Roni to my Mom's because they wanted to go shopping together. Then, i ran out to Dallas to get Abby moved in to her new apartment.

She had packed most of the stuff in there already so she, Louis, and her Dad had packed it in the moving van early ~ i got there in time to unload. i promptly became the "Intel inside" as Louis calls me by moving all the stuff to the tail for them to carry. Then i set up while they ran the truck back. We all went to a nice lunch at Chili's where i 'cheated' on Jian by having the Mushroom Jack Fajitas, but he eventually forgave me. After that, Abby and i went back to the new apartment and i showered and changed and we ran to Urban Outfitters to get new covers for her butterfly chairs then to The Crackhaus to get said chair frames.

We hung out there and played with the cat and chatted for a bit, made the grocery list, checked it twice, then Abby and i drove the chairs home and wen to the store. We got there about 11:30 PM and were there for at least an hour, we put all the stuff away. That�s i headed home around 1:45 AM or so.

i was almost home when i decided to stop at Denny's to have something to drink. i was so very worn out after that day that i stumbled in and ordered a hot chocolate, English muffin and some applesauce, yanked a chair over for my feet and pulled out my book to read. As usual, Sean took good care of me and i stayed there an hour, so i got home at 3:15 AM.

i fell into bed, snuggled down with my baby and fell asleep after sufficient wiggling. i woke up at 2:30 PM. It was nice. i took the cabana boy to work and picked up Roni from my Mom's then came home to wait on the Abby to call. Her Dad wanted to change her oil, so we went to Bennigan's for dinner and then over to her parent's house to drop off the desk in the back of my truck and pick up the two tables she was taking with her. We hauled all that out to Dallas and stayed to chat with Abby and Louis for a while since Roni was zonked out on Abby's bed and then got home by 2:45 but Jian was watching Jeepers Creepers, the worst movie in history, so we stayed up with him until about 4 something, when the two of us retired for some snuggly time.

Morning came early for both of my darlings, but Roni fell asleep on the way home this afternoon and is still down for the night.

The only thing off in my whole world is the PET DRAMA. Rosy, the red-tail boa, has not been very hungry and the rat Angel bought to feed to her a week ago is still here. i avoided him in the little cage for a week and tried not to look at him. Then, i had to bathe him. It was all over for me after that, i was in love and his name is Turd Ferguson, but you would not get that if you do not truly love the SNL Celebrity Jeopardy skits as much as we do. If you participate in a file-sharing program, look for them. Ayways, he is the sweetest thing in the world unlike Angel's spoiled little princesses over in the big cage. He likes to just sit on me and play hide and seek under a hand towel on my chest while i type. i am lobbying to keep him since Rosy has declined to eat him three times. i under stand that she must eat, but she can eat some one else, OK? Turd is MY friend. In the immortal word of Diane Keist in The Birdcage "SOMEONE has to like me best!" and he is it. So there. Please, someone, back me up!

It's bed time for me now. i did laundry and mine Angel is putting it up right now, so i will get in there to be with him.
