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
all this from my chicken au gratin pot pie

oohhh . . . it's been a few days! i'm soooorry!

Thursday & Friday Angel was sick and near-death and so he finally broke down and went to the hospital for drugs. they told him he had strep and gave him codeine and by Saturday he was feeling good. i was still unsure about him going to the strip club for Andy's Birthday, but he ended up staying at home with Ronica since she couldn't go to her dad's after being around the sick Angel (they have an infant over there and can't take the risk of her carrying the illness over there).

over the two days, i'd hardly gotten any sleep and when i did, i slept wrong and jacked up my lower back again. this sucketh. when Saturday came, i ended up only going to The Ranch for about an hour and shook things up a little while i was there - i worked things out with the Dungeon Master to get Andy in there for a spanking and then the Dungeon Master came back with TWO girls and said we could have two for the price of one! that means two girls for two songs with spanking and two pictures for $40! i paid $20 and Tonya raised the rest from within the party and we got it paid and done - it was a riot! After that we all went back to the tables but since i couldn't sit, i gt people to walk around with me for a few and just as i was leaving, i organized all the women on the party to go front and center on the main stage to tip the dancer. This means that the DJ saw us and he goes nuts for that stuff and had the whole club howling for "all the bi-sexual and FUTURE bi-sexual women in the house tonight - and i'm not just talking about the dancers!" he even extended that girl's song for it.

that's when i left - i was sore and getting very tired. i came home and cuddled with my baby for a while and drifted off to seep.

Saturday while i'd been working, he was helping Abby and Louis move to their new apartment, so on Sunday, we all three went over so i could help set up the house and get stuff put up. it was a long day as i had to stop and rest frequently but we were done but for the laundry and one hidden box of books. Then i made Italian shake-n-bake and pasta alfredo for dinner and we all sat down and watch Alias.

oh, yeah, we got our cable modem today! we will be dropping the house line and the DSL and moving to cable modem for better download speed! yay!

i was thinking today about something funny - when i was a kid, i'd eat only the 'good stuff' of the pie and never the crust - it was 'icky'. now, as an adult, i love the crust just as much - i even eat them separately to savor the difference. it's funny because though the bad stuff that happened to me as a kid marked me and changed me with the scars i still carry with me, i never swallowed the poison, i never let make me bitter and wasted. oh,i'm not denying that there were times i was bitter while that was on my plate, but once it was over, it was over - gone. now, i know that you have to take the bad with the good and savor the flavor so that you really appreciate the good stuff and that just by swallowing the crust first, you don't get full and you wipe it all away with the joy of the 'good stuff'.
