Robert was crying....




He was sad that he did not get a birthday cake. He pouted, "This is the first Birthday I have not had a cake!"
So today I stopped at Essen Haus & I looked in the cake cooler. The lady at the counter asked me If she could help me. I giggled & said yes. I told her about my hubby crying & I told her I wanted the pink princess cake. Then we both were laughing:) she even dug out a pink Happy Birthday decoration for me.

Ain't the cake pretty?

Tons of Snow today!

White, wet cold snow. Slushy, slickery roads!

Song for today!
Jack Johnson - Wasting Time



Yea
And I'm just a waste of her energy

And she's just a waste of my time, mmhmm

So why don't we get together?

And we could waste everything tonight

And we could waste

And we could waste it all tonight, yea

And we could waste

And we could waste it all


And I don't pretend to know what you know, no no

Now please don't pretend to know what's on my mind

If we already knew everything that everybody knows

We would have nothing to learn tonight

And we would have nothing to show tonight


Oh, but everybody thinks

That everybody knows

About everybody else

Nobody knows anything about themselves

'Cause they're all worried about everybody else

Yea, mmhmm, aw


Love's just a waste of our energy, yea

And this life's just a waste of our time

So why don't we get together?

We could waste everything tonight

We could waste

We could waste it all, yea


But everybody thinks

That everybody knows

About everybody else, no no

Nobody knows anything about themselves

'Cause they're all worried about everybody else, yea

Aw, and we could waste...

More elbow work today.

I had physical therapy on my elbow today, the cortisone shot did not take. I now have a regiment of stretches, ice, & rubbing. Once again I have to lay off the Guitar Hero *GRRRR* & lifting at the gym.

I heard this song today. I like it. But I've never really heard of this band

Of A Revolution.


O.A.R. - Hey Girl (Video)



"Hey Girl"

I took this girl out last night and we left around 12,

We walked along lonely streets and got to know ourselves,

I like to read - she likes to write,

She likes to sleep - and I like to stay up all night,

My friends say I'm crazy and I agree,

But that's okay cause that the way she likes to be

Hey girl come with me and let yourself go

Hey girl come with me and let yourself go

Well we went out late that night and we danced through the night

I was holding on to her and she be gripping it tight, she was

But she didn't care, I didn't mind

I was unaware that she liked to act so kind,

My friends say I'm crazy and I agree,

But thats okay cause thats the way I like to be

I say

Hey girl, come with me and let yourself go,

Hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go-oh,

Just let yourself go

Later on that night I took her home,

I asked if she felt alright being alone

So I went inside, she didn't mind,

Took two to decide that I wasn't going home tonight

I see we're both crazy, that's alright with me,

The night was kind of hazy that's the way it's gonna be

I say now

Hey girl, come with me and let yourself go,

Hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go-oh,

Just let yourself go, go, go-oh,

Just let yourself go, go, go-oh...

Let yourself go

New Door








































I think the new garage door looks very nice. The white is much better than the green it was before. That will also go with new siding if we should so choose.

Last week when we had all that rain we noticed the sink hole next to the well. I called well people & they said don't worry about it. Sometimes newer wells settle.....EKK!

Garage doors




When I left for work this morning the garage door would not open. I pushed the button & nuttin. We think circuit board burnt out of it. It really sucks having to manually open that door. It is heavy.
It's better than last year when we had a vehicle stuck in the garage with no way out.

Hostetler Door came out & we talked about a new door & costs & such..... I went out with him to check out the current opener to see if there was a reset button on it. When I opened the door I saw light coming through & the garage door was pushed into the garage by 6 inches & I'm like WTF? I asked the Door guy if he parked on the other side of the door. He looked through the gap & exclaimed, "Sonofa Bitch!" Poor man. His truck had rolled down the hill into the garage door.

I wished I could have gotten a picture of the truck against the door & before he pounded the door track close to where it should be. I thought it would be rude to tell him not to do anything till I got my camera *shrug*.

Happy 43 Robert!




Tis also my 19th year working at that place I work at. One more year & I'll get 4 weeks vacation. I'm not sure how I feel about this accomplishment. I always thought I'd be retired before 20 years hit.

I got no rhythm

Well the Rock Band drums came in. I suck really bad!
Do you remember the test they give you before you go out for band in school? I wanted to play the drums, my aunt got me a sweet drum set for a Christmas present. (Poor Mom!)
they told me I had no rhythm & I ended up playing Clarinet. I'm still horrid at keeping time & trying to make three limbs of my body to do three separate things...that takes more brain power than I have.
I don't think I've gotten over three stars on any song.

Song for the day

The Cure - Mint Car

The sun is up
I'm so happy I could scream
And there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
And here with you it's perfect
It's all I ever wanted, oh
Almost can't believe that it's for real

I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile and a gorgeous strawberry kiss!
Birds sing; we swing
Clouds shift by and everything is like a dream
It's everything I wished...

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it again?
I know we should!

The sun is up
I'm so fizzy I could burst!
You wet through and me headfirst
Into this it's perfect
It's all I ever wanted
Ow! It feels so big it almost hurts!

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it some more?
I know we should!
So it will always be like this
The two of us together
And we'll always be like this
Forever and ever
And ever and ever

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it all the time?
I know that we should!

Movie night...


Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix

I was really looking forward to this movie. A word of advice do not read the book first if you wish to enjoy the movie.
Great effects, hard to understand the accent at times, It seemed to me to jump about too much without tying up the ends.

Valentine's or (Halmark holiday)

zwani.com myspace graphic comments

I'm not fond of this holiday. It's another of those hallmark holidays. It is a holiday that is made to set people up for disappointment. How many people get so totally depressed that they don't have a Valentine?
I think I remember my first disappointment back in grade school. You remember those little Valentine's from school?

They have actually studied Love. The Science of love.

The 3 stages of love

Helen Fisher of Rutgers University in the States has proposed 3 stages of love – lust, attraction and attachment. Each stage might be driven by different hormones and chemicals.



It is no wonder that the divorce rate is high. It's a wonder it is not higher considering that the science of love proves that the in love feeling does not last.

I forgot to tell this Zoie story.

I think it was Monday night. Ms. Queen Zoie came in through the doggie door with something in her mouth. I'll be damned if it was not a 3 inch frozen turd. I had to pry her jaws open whilst Robert grabbed the turdcycle, which he promptly disposed of.
Sometimes this dog really tries my patience! :)

I got my first ever Massage today! This is so relaxing. It seems to do more for the body than just relax it also. I'm thinking other healing affects maybe.

More Music......

Remember that this week is the dreaded Valentine's week. What a crock of a holiday:P A bunch of hype if you ask me. I'd think a ton of hurt & disappointed people out there in the world also.

I thought this would be a good heart week song.

Blue October - Calling You




Theres something that i cant quite explain
i'm so in love with you
you'll never take that away

and if i said a hundred times before
expect a thousand more
you never take that away

well expect me to be
calling you to see
if you're ok when i'm not around
asking if you love me
i love the way you make it sound
calling you to see
do i try too hard to make you smile
to make a smile

well i will keep calling you to see
if you're sleepin are you dreamin and
if you're dreamin are you dreamin of me
i cant believe
you actually picked...me

i thought that the world had lost its sway
(its so hard sometimes)
then i fell in love with you
(then came you)
and you took that away
(its not so difficult, the world is not so difficult)
you take away the old
show me the new
and i feel like i can fly
when i stand next to you
so what if I'm on this phone
a hundred miles from home
i take the words you gave
and send them back to you

i only want to see
if you're ok when i'm not around
asking if you love me
i love the way you make it sound
calling you to see
do i try too hard to make you smile
to make a smile


well i will keep calling you to see
if you're sleepin are you dreamin and
if you're dreamin are you dreamin of me
i cant believe
you actually picked...me

I Have a girl crush:)

KT Tunstall....This woman is so talented & beautiful.

KT Tunstall - I Want You Back



KT Tunstall - Hold On


That just isn't so

Underneath, I felt the fire of a burning question

Tearin' me apart

Right from the very start

And now I see

That it don't take a trick of the light to excite me

So strong

So long

You'll see


Hold on

To what you

Been given lately

Hold on

To what you

Know you got

Hold on

To what you

Been given lately

Hold on

Cause the world will turn if you're ready or not


KT Tunstall - Other Side Of The World



Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an Iceberg
Waiting to change,
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like
the water,

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world
to me

Can you help me?
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore

I am really enjoying...

CHRIS ISAAK

I wanted to post the video to this song but I can't find it.

"I Want Your Love"

Put out your hand, open up your heart.
How can I love you when we're so far apart?
And all I want is your love.
All I want is your love.


Put out your hand, open up your mind.
How can you love me then just leave me behind?
When all I want is your love.
When all I-I want is your love.


Here I am waiting for you, here I am all alone.
Here I am waiting for you, tell me what went wrong.
All I want is your love.
All I want is your love.
I want your love.


Tell me that you love me, that you're never going leave me,
That you're never gonna hurt me, that you never will deceive me,
That you're thinking that you'll see me, that you're always thinking of me,
Tell me.
You want my love, you want my love.


Put out your hand, open up your heart.
How can I love you when we're so far apart?
When all I want is your love.
All I want is your love.


Here I am waiting for you, here I am all alone.
Here I am waiting for you, tell me what went wrong.
All I want is your love.
All I want is your love.
I want your love.


I want your love.
Oh.
Yeah.
I want your love, I want your love.
Oh, I want your love.

Cortisone shot!



I got my Cortisone shot yesterday. It was not too bad, not worse than any piercing I have. It was cool they put Lidocaine in with the Cortisone. I drove home laughing at myself & saying. "I can't feel my arm." I could not feel it & I could not control it. My thumb & palm under were tingling as if asleep. It was all very funny to me.

Today my arm is sore, I'm hoping that it is just from the site of the injection. If he did not shoot me in the right spot I'll need another. At the gum tonight that tendon was still giving me fits.

Harry Potter & The half Blood Prince, is number six in the series. One more book to go. Holy crap they are getting good! This one made me cry:( I was not expecting the things that are going on.
I have two books to read before I start the last Harry Potter. I know I should just dive right into it, but I'm not sure that I want it to end & I'm not sure I'm ready for more sad stuff.

I have just started Duma Key by Stephen King.
