Ah! I love music. I especially love new music from people who write their own stuff. Now I am not positive these guys write their own music but you should definitely check them out...Faerience. You can find them on YouTube and MySpace. They are also on Twitter. I particularly like the intricate piano melody that runs thru the entire piece. Give them a try and see what you think!
I'm reading "Night Play" by Sherrilyn Kenyon for the third time. Honestly, this book will never get old for me. I can't wait to get my hands on "Bad Moon Rising"! I'm so glad my friend in San Angelo turned me on to the Dark Hunter books. What a great way to spend a few minutes of my spare time!
Another Texas friend sent me a wonderful Boudreaux and Thibodeaux joke. "Rev. Boudreaux was the part time pastor of the local Cajun Baptist Church and Pastor Thibodeaux was the minister of the Covenant Church across the street. They were both standing by the road, pounding a sign into the ground that read: 'Da end is Near. Turn yo sef 'roun now afore it be too late!' As a car sped past them, the driver leaned out his window and yelled, 'You religious nuts!' From the curve they heard screeching tires and a big splash... Boudreaux turns to Thibodeaux and asks, 'Do ya tink maybe da sign should jussay... 'Bridge Out?'"
Well, it's time for me to get moving. I'm enjoying my second cup of Community Coffee (ah, sweet nectar of life!) and then it's off to church to support another friend of mine.
Remember to Breathe! Laugh a Lot!

It Just Keeps On
Yeah, life. It just keeps on...for a while anyway...for most of us. I was able to get some of the items I needed for my garden. I've got the basic edging and weed stop fabric. I got my tools and gloves. All I really need now are those pesky plants. Next Saturday seems so far away!
I'll be going to spend some time with my grandmother soon. I'm hoping to cheer her up and help her out with household chores, etc.
I finished all but the sealant on Ro's little rocking chair. Ro is my 4 year old. She is something else. Now I just have to finish Shi's. Shi is my 8 year old. She is telling me that my mother is back from work. The reason she's playing "informant" is because she's ready for supper. Guess I better stop my blogging for now and feed her! Blog more later!

Sweet! Loving my iGoogle!
I just love all these gadgets for iGoogle. They are so much fun when they work. I tried to get Lava Lamp to run and it never would. Playlist was pretty cool. Took it off because it automatically plays when you load your page. That's not such a great thing when the kids are still asleep! I love being able to catch a glimpse of what is in my email inbox and what my Twitter friends have to say. Too cool!
Today was also good because I was able to go shopping for a bathroom floor! Finally! Solid wood to stand on will be so nice. I can't wait to see the finished product. So even though I didn't get to work in my garden plots today, something good did happen.
I'm so excited about having a garden again. There's just something about helping (or in my case, trying to help) something grow. I eagerly await the green leaves and colorful blooms. I'm hoping I can really do this garden up well. Lots of pretty accents and classic touches could be in the future. I would so love to add this great solar light I found on Target.com. It's a gargoyle holding a glowing torch! Then there is a green lady statuette that's super fab. They would be excellent additions to my garden but for the price! Ouch! I'll be looking for them in other locations and hopefully finding a better deal somewhere else. I won't be holding my breath too long, though.
My kids have been enjoying the sun lately. They are all turning this lovely shade of golden brown from playing outside so much. Thank goodness for Avon Bug-n-Sun! At least with that stuff you get what you need for a hot, humid summer.
Well, I guess it's time to sign out. I need (yes, NEED) to watch some classic Jonny Quest with my kids before sending them off to dreamland.

I'm Back To Blogging
Well, I'm back again after...well, after a long absence. I just feel the need to be able to vent every now and then. Or I might feel disposed to sing the praises of someone or something. Hence the title of my blog.
To start, I'm feeling the after burn of emotional depletion. My grandfather passed away this past weekend. In trying to make everyone else feel better, and in trying to do as much as I could to help so my grandmother, mother, aunt and uncle wouldn't have to do extras, I completely drained myself. It didn't help that there are members in my family who don't like me in the least, don't understand me at all and could care less about trying to do either. Ah, well, such is my life. I'm sure there are many others out there who understand that. I guess now it's my turn to grieve...in the place and with those who can truly provide the type of comfort I need. I just need to be left alone. My close family knows this and they are the ones who truly matter the most to me.
On a happier note, I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Michigan Bulb order. There is something to be said for planting a flower garden. That in itself is a very meditative activity for me. I guess this is enough for a start. I'm hopeful that I'll be back soon to either vent or think or just yakkety yak about something. Remember to breath and laugh a lot!
