Halloween Haha's

"Clothes make a statement. Costumes tell a story."

- Mason Cooley

"This Halloween the most popular mask is the Arnold Schwarzenegger mask. And the best part? With a mouth full of candy you will sound just like him."

- Conan O'Brien

I'll bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween.
Be safe my friends!

You'll never guess~~~

You'll never guess what I saw today!

My first "Do Not Open 'till Xmas" package~~~

Gawd some people are just TOO prepared... I MAY get my Christmas cards out by.....

...... oh.....

February?

Hopefully by this weekend I will get a moment to finish getting the new puter up and running for photos and blogging but until then it's the sappy lappy for this girl. After a week of 10-12 hour days there is not much left of my brain to share. Political mail has injured not only my hands but my spirit. Thank the gods Tuesday is almost here!

Back from the inky-depths

New puter is set up AND so purdy.. more later but I am off to work ---ugh

Well, what did you expect to see??!!

Mon Amoureux

I sense a gentle soul within my reach...
His spirit is like
a sunrise on a summer shore.
My arms can hold him and

I always will because of how magnificent
He makes me feel.

Togetherness is completely him- since

he brings the things that forever survive.
His splendor is all of wonder and power

and can't be
described for the life he brings.

I want to hold him in my arms right now...
as he puts his fingers through my hair

and look into his eyes...
it brings me to a place that is ecstasy...

I'm lost in him
and not looking for a way out.
He is a gift sent to me
and a warm heart has he found...
My heart is hidden in
the deep of his hand... I want to be his,
I have found delight.

I don't honestly know how he feels for me...

Does one ever?
But whatever happens it will always be...

I'm holding his heart
in my small hands and

I will take the sunlight from the sky
and place it in his hands...
I already hold my soul to
his chest and feel the peace he seeks...

I want to fill his starkness with my love
And make it as stunning as
a dove... and hold his heart with
calm love so I can share
with him pleasure beyond expression.

Inside his palm

is the key to my heart ...

He had it all along

My Lucky Day...

Part of my horrible-scope~~~

"You might be making sudden choices about your life situation based on your emotional desire today and this could lead you to act impulsively."

Sounds like a good day to spend with SF..

See Ya!

Cheers and ta-ta Uncle Bob!

Uncle Bob's Fav Joke

While sitting around with the family last night... digesting alfredo I made for the clan..

we swapped stories of Bob.

After Uncle Bob retired from the Denver Police department he moved back to the Pacific Northwest and bought a bar. He loved jokes and cousin Dick shared one Bob loved.

A man goes into a bar and seats himself on a stool.

The bartender looks at him and says, "What'll it be buddy?"

The man says, "Set me up with seven whiskey shots and make them doubles."

The bartender does this and watches the man slug one down,

then the next, then the next,

and so on until all seven are gone almost as quickly as they were served. Staring in disbelief, the bartender asks

why he's doing all this drinking.

"You'd drink them this fast too if you had what I have."

The bartender hastily asks, "Wow, what do you have pal?"

The man quickly replies:

"I have a dollar."

Sad Day....

I woke to gray foggy clouds and the news we have lost a loved one. Uncle Bob passed this morning at 2AM. He was a crabby old soul with a heart as big as the Rockies. He acted tough but most times would melt at the touch of a small child.

A policeman by day - a loving husband and father all the time. I am saddened though that his own children did not come to his side during the last few months as he was in a home recouping from hip surgery. He was related to my departed husband and the nieces and nephews have been the ones helping him through this transition. We all have packed up his house, cleaned it and stored his belongings over the last couple of months so he would be ready to move on to a more permanent housing situation. He had a huge decline this week of not only his mental faculties but also in his health. His death was unexpected but mercifully swift. We got the call last night at around 7PM that he was rushed to the hospital and my brother-in-law was there by his side along with the local sisters to ease his loneliness and hold his hand while he passed through to a more comfortable plain.

Looks like I may have to cancel my travel plans next week with SF to attend the family functions. I am a bit bummed but I don't think it prudent to bail while so many family members hit town.

Sorry babe.

Uncle Bob will always hold a special place in my heart. He reminded me so much of my Dad... gruff and grizzled on the outside - a big mushball on the inside.

You will be missed by this gurlie.

Signs of the Times

Halloween is going to suck this year

Look To The Sky

{click on any picture to biggify!}

Listen here
When it rains it pours and opens doors
That flood the floors we thought would always keep us

safe and dry

And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye

And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go

And when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright

And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

And every word I didn't say caught up in some busy day

And every dance on the kitchen floor
we didn't have before

And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away

And while I float along this ocean

I can feel you like a notion that I hope will never leave

Cause when I look to the sky

Something tells me you're here with me

and you make everything all right

And when I feel like I'm lost

something tells me you're here with me

and I can always find my way

Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plain overhead
Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly

But with you
I can spread my wings
to see me over everything that life may send me
When I am hoping it won't pass me by

And when I feel like there's no one that will ever know me
there you are to show me

When I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright when you are here

And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're right here next to me
And I can always find my way when you are here
I can always find my way
