to apply

Wrapped up in a big box
everyone is having a great week so far
mythical creatures and beings from thin air
doing their thing, in front of 1200 people
I always feel SO out of place
but we had fun

a whole lot of birthday cake

That awkward standing around,
the excuse that I cannot find the time,
I came here to say
all you need

I read a recent science report that said that
after a sleep of twenty years the old craft awakes
to see what they had in there had never been opened

the factory

The desert is green
so I chose the cute little owl

the one on the blue and white fabric
my fingers were just itching
I can't help feeling I must be doing it wrong
in a fraction of the time

the white mulberry tree
reminding me about Bonaparte
there is someone to use my stash as well

disturbing a toad

So it's summertime here in upstate New York
this dangerously unstable little girl
talked Papa into a cherry pie eating contest
we made silly faces
creating spaceships
until our feet were killing us

Our trip to the prison was good
the first kid said
I fell asleep at lunch

grace

The funny thing about living in Texas
the fact that I worry about Christmas

24 hours / 7 days a week

The rain on Tuesday has certainly helped
and well-traveled city streets where the beauty of these trees is often overlooked
we eat with them, we sleep with them,

And lately I've been trying to keep my little heart thinking
I did not make the first iced sugar cookie, nor will I make the last.

Generally I am not afraid to fly.
We cut a thin plastic shim for the surface where the bellcranks rubbed against its housing bracket, but
I was also broke and on vacation

Here is a list of crap that needs to be in a bag before you go to the ER:
A bottle of pinot noir
Artist
vintage photos of New Orleans

Excellent (I was surprised)
in my safe little cage here in the zoo
I'd much rather be left alone

Quiet nights

as we head to Chili's
not only for the sake of enjoying some good or interesting topics
They treat it like a treasure hunt,
a great horned owl had come and alighted atop the flagpole in front of the restaurant

I recently got fitted for a pair of orthonics,
to help with the unsightly mom hips
I hope you stay with me.
It is not our place to judge.
