LOVE,

For Good - Lyrics - From Wicked
There are a couple/few people in my life that these words really hold true for. .
For Good - from Wicked
ELPHABA
I'm limited:
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you -
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
(spoken) For both of us
(sung) Now it's up to you:
GLINDA
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
ELPHABA
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:
GLINDA
Because I knew you:
BOTHI have been changed for good
ELPHABA
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
GLINDA
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
BOTH
And none of it seems to matter anymore
GLINDA ELPHABA
Like a comet pulled Like a ship blown
From orbit as it Off it's mooring
Passes a sun, like By a wind off the
A stream that meets Sea, like a seed
A boulder, half-way Dropped by a
Through the wood Bird in the wood
BOTH
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better?
GLINDA
And because I knew you:
ELPHABA
Because I knew you:
BOTH
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.

Some pics
Before going to rehearse with the organist for the wedding I played flute at today - - first time I've played a "gig" since I dunno. . .probably 2004ish - first time as a soloist at a wedding - ever I think. Goodness. :)
Just messing around taking pictures. . .imagine that!
My amazing salad I had for lunch today -
grilled chicken, romaine, kale, squash, tiny cut up apple, carrots, cucumber!

28 Days
So - -I kinda made a list - but I could only think of 25 things. And apparently I am too spastic to focus on one thing at a time. I HAVE started/made progress on:
#25 - pick out a dream car/vehicle. . .so far I like the GMC Acadia the most. I did realize that I like Avalanches which GASP are 4-door trucks. Uh-oh. :)
#20 - Develop an "About Me" document that is as inclusive as possible, as I try to figure myself out - -my wants, needs, hopes, etc.
#3 - desk - I've started working on that. . .but yeah; lots more to go to get this thing cleared off!

29 Days
A quick post between classes. . .
There are 29 days before I go to Deming (AGAIN! YAY). I just had an idea that I should make a list of 29 things that need to be done (or SHOULD be done) before then, and do one each day. (In addition to my resolutions that I've been doing pretty good on). I'm thinking specific long-term house-work type things (ie - go through Jacob's clothes, purge, etc) and even some kinda-silly, but actually serious things (learn how to make not-life-changing decisions) and such.
Ok - kids are here. LAST CLASS of the day.

Already In
It's you to me
Your gentle face
Overdue, worth the wait
And out of my reach
But I'm reaching out for you
Me to the night
I say goodbye
The time is up
I fight the time
A needed award
I can't afford
A finished song
One more cord
And it's already in my mind
I'm in over my head inside
And it's already in my mind
Inside
Inside
Everyone's back
Hearts at war
With all the plans I had before
And I'm losing my grip
But, I'd lose it all for you
So I go driving all around
And I'm denying all the sounds that hit my ear
Drum the beat of a heart I can't defeat
And so it's already in my mind
I'm in over my head inside
And it's already in my mind
Inside
Inside
Already in

But, I'd lose it all for you

Drum the beat of a heart I can't defeat
And so it's already in my mind
I'm in over my head inside
And it's already in my mind

YAY!
So. . .I went to the dentist today. Previously the dentist was a VERY scary experience for me, but today was actually no problem! YAY! And I LOVE what he did to my tooth. LOL. Maybe if I'm brave, I'll post before and after pictures soon. :)
On another "yay" note. . .I AM in fact going to Deming again. . .February 18-22. I fully expect to have an amazing time, and "we'll see" what happens.
Yay!

My Eternal Family

I don't want to!
I am in my LAST class for my Master's. I DO NOT WANT TO DO THE WORK. I know I will. I know I need to, but goodness, gracious, it's almost the last thing in the world I'd like to be doing. . .ok. . .I'm sure there are lots of things I would not want to do more than I don't want to do this, but still!!!
Sigh.
Sigh.

"And baby Choco will be born in a land far far away"
So - a few minutes ago Jacob (who's in bed) was singing "Da-da-dee-dum- da-da dee da dum" (Disturbia by Rihanna) So. . .then I hear him switch to "Said Samuel, within five years, the night will be as day. . ." and right as I'm you know, filling with maternal pride about my 6 year old singing primary tunes (rather than Rihanna songs), I hear him continue, "And baby Choco will be born in a land far far away." :) Yeah. . .substituting in the name of the toy poodle instead of Jesus. He means no harm. LOL. :)

This is really weird. . .
Ok - so tonight, I'm working on some stuff on the computer, and Jacob comes in and says, "listen to this" So he starts jumping up and down, and it sounds like he has a half-full water balloon under his shirt. I ask him, "what is that?" and he says, "My belly - I've been drinking lots of chocolate milk!" and he starts jumping, and sure enough, you can hear the sloshing. I lift up his shirt, sure enough, it's just his belly. So - - of course, I make a video. . .then I told him he should probably 1)quit jumping and 2)don't drink anymore for now.
So - - turn up your sound, and enjoy. . .lol
