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
Two out of three cats agree that my bread is the shiznit.

The two cats are mine, the third just looked at me with disdain, told me that cats don't eat bread, turned his back on me and stalked off with a stiff salute of his tail. boy, i wanted to teach that little shit a lesson! where is Mr. Mistoffelees when you need him? hell, i'd have taken the Cheshire Cat at that moment! anything to stir him up a bit.


"Back to life, back to reality, back to the here and now . . ."
now name THAT song! ha! i'd actually forgotten about it!


Onward ho! i spent Tuesday here and about with Myste running errands and goofing off, and Wednesday i went over to her place with the bread i finished up for her. it was Wheat/Cinnamon/cranberry/apple/walnut egg bread. i went easy on the flour and the yeast went crazy so i got almost twice the yield i normally do and it was super light and soft. she loved it.


i ended up staying over there playing cards with her and her girlfriend, Juliet. i didn't know Canasta and there were only three of us anyways, so we played Bullshit all afternoon and looked up Farkle (a dice game) for the evening.


we were having so much fun we didn't want to go, but all good things must end and i left around 7:30 to come home and eat mashed potatoes. i had left some steak marinating overnight for Angel to cook so i wasn't really worried about dinner - it's a treat for them to eat it as i don't eat red meat so i can't really cook it all that well. i know beef tips in beer-n-potato gravy but beyond that i'm lost.


when i got home, Angel got a tech call and left to go fix a computer so i researched Canasta and made him play it with me for an hour when he got home. i stayed up until 3 playing until i started creaming the computer. it was fun and now i'm confident that i can hold my own against people.


Today Angel called off because he hates his job. i says he had a headache and i don't doubt that but i think the real reason is that he hates his job. i signed up for early release to come home and coddle him but when i got here, he was gone, over at The Tick's house hanging out.


i guess i'll go play some more Canasta!
