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
wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'

no, it wasn't another freaky hiatus, it was just me getting caught up in life for a few days.

i . . . umm . . . did . . . STUFF! Yeah! i did stuff on Monday.

and there was supposed to be walking on Tuesday instead of Wednesday but Rachel had a puppy emergency and couldn't come so Roni and i went to Mom's for bratwurst. quit looking at me like that. i only ate one. with out the bread. only some mustard and a few Pringles. and a wild cherry Pepsi. oh, shut up!

then we had laundry to do on Wednesday so we did that while be-bopping around Mom's and The Ronica tried to learn the two- and three-step but failed so we be-bopped some more o the oldies and classic rock along with a little alternative.

after all this wildly fun and funky activity we met Farmer Crusty out at her place and had dinner at CiCi's Pizza. oh, stuff it! i had a salad, two small bits of the non-cheesy-ist cheese bread i have ever seen and a thin slice of the apple strudel pizza that will forever call me back to that horrific den of poseur-Italian iniquity.

i love all things apple. go figure. i used to have such an apple obsession that i would choose them over chocolate. crazy, huh? i also loved camping and never slept in a tent preferring a sleeping bag on top of a tarp that could double as an impromptu lean-to in a rain storm. i can only say i must not have been in my right mind. i have gotten over the chocolate thingy and i haven't been camping in years. i think at this point i would need two sleeping bags and a real tent. i hate bugs that bite. bugs that bite love me. therein lies a great war, waiting to happen.

i picked up the bikes from my parents tonight so that The Ronica and i might have something physical to do together. here's to hoping.
