26 years ago, Elvis died.. Exactly one week after I was born. My mother was and still is a huge fan, and she always tells me that I was her sunshine during the shock of him dying. I personally always thought it was freaky.. having him kick off shortly after i was born.. anyhoos..from historychannel.com
not my idea of a fun time.. THANKS BLACKOUT OF 2003! So, yesterday around 4pm, we had a dip in power, k & i cussed and cursed a bit, things went back to normal.. then a short ten minutes later, PZZZZZZHHHHHOOOOOOOOOU! no powah.. -insert UPS back up battery alarms going crazy here- So after shutting down things, we kind of puttered around, wondering what to do.. phone rings, it’s my mother in the Detroit area.. telling us what has happened.. well what they knew had happened at least at 430pm. So hanging up, k took a nap, i read my book.. when the daylight reached that point where reading by it is uncomfortable, i got dressed and decided to go for a walk-lol- i have NEVER seen that many people wandering around in my building, and outside my building.. was crazy.
a few weeks ago, i broke down and took a nap. now normally i do not like taking naps, unless i’m like crazy dead tired and can’t function. or i’m sick. that’s it. but i decided just laying down and relaxing for a while would be fine.. that’s one part of the lovehate.
i like being comfy cool when i’m sleeping, not cold, not hot.. just comfy.. but i also hate anything touching my face when i sleep.. most of all my hair tickling me. while laying down i silently cursed the fan in the window blowing straight on my face… but i was too snuggled in to get up and turn it off or point it elsewhere.. so in my unconcious state.. i solved the problem.. with the duvet…. (more…)
I really like notebooks.. I have scads and scads of them everywhere.
Jazz posted this at the Inn this morning.. and well.. it needs to be shared more.
A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present “Seven Wonders of the World.”
Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:
1. Egypt’s Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter’s Basilica
7. China’s Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn’t turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.
The girl replied, “Yes, a little. I couldn’t quite make up my mind
because there were so many.”
The teacher said, “Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help.”The girl hesitated, then read, “I think the ‘Seven Wonders of the World’ are:
1. to see
2. to hear
3. to touch
4. to taste
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love.”
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
The things we overlook as simple, ordinary & take for granted are truly wondrous! The most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.
in the forums i read.. someone posted a picture that was just too damn cute..
Anything you left behind
Exactly now what’s on your mind
But anything you forgot really couldn’t cost a lot
Everything now has its place
Even the tension on your face
All wound up now ready to go
We are winding down but it’s coming slow
Sitting on the edge of our seats
Smooth pavement of the city streets
Disappear beneath the hood
And how about the weather, looks perty good
Perty good for an opening line
Why I didn’t even have to use my mind
Prepared with dedication
Beware is our destination
We are free, we are wild
For we are our only child
Acting out from our hearts
Backing out not from the start
Seeking out the good old days
We are weekend runaways
Enjoy your holiday darlink! Take lots of photos :)
that i have not blogged in the past few days-lol- so i’m doing a little post.. i guess. well.. i have a lot i want to write about, and i’ve already written it many times to people that, well i just don’t know how i want to put it down all coherently. there are many things rattling around in my head, that i need to get down.. i think getting it all out and down in one spot, will help me shake this funk.. this rotty funk i’ve been in for about a week and a half now.. i know i’ve mentioned them before, but this one is different.. this one actually bothers me.. the rest were like meh, whatever.. but this one.. it is different.. so who knows what the next day or so will bring of posting..

I don’t need no diamond ring, I don’t need much of anything
You’re a good man, I’ll wear your golden band
We’ve got a house with a porch and a swing
And I will be your simple gearle
I don’t need no fancy car, I’m not going very far
That’s OK, don’t want to go anyway
I can stay home and be your star
I will be your simple gearle
I’ll be your simple gearle
We don’t need a lot, happy with what we got
If we had everything, it would not be the same
Turn out the kitchen light, let’s sit outside tonight
I’ll be your simple gearle
Now we’ve got a house full of them sweet little things
So much joy in the love they bring
Why the boys and the gearles, they are my world
But, honey you’ll always be my everything
And I will be your simple gearle
Your sssssimple gearle
I’ll be your simple gearle
