i take that back-
Close to the Edge is the BEST song Evar-

In her white lace, you could clearly see the lady sadly looking.
Saying that shed take the blame
For the crucifixion of her own domain. I get up,
I get down,
I get up,
I get down.

Two million people barely satisfy.
Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late.
The eyes of honesty can achieve.
How many millions do we deceive each day?
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.

In charge of who is there in charge of me.
Do I look on blindly and say I see the way?
The truth is written all along the page.
How old will I be before I come of age for you?
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.

Sharp-distance

Love comes to you and you follow
Lose one on to the heart of the sunrise
Sharp-distance
How can the wind with its arms
All around me

Lost on a wave and then after
Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise
Sharp-distance
How can the wind with so many around me
Lost in the city

Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting the broken ties they decide
Love comes to you and then after
Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise
Lost on a wave that you're dreaming
Dram on on to the heart of the sunrise
Sharp-distance
How can the wind with its arms all around
Me
Sharp-distance
How can the wind with so many around me
I feel lost in the city

Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting the broken ties they decided

Straight light moving and removing
Sharpness of the colour sun shine
Straight light searching all the meanings
Of the song
Long last treatment of the telling that
Relates to all the words sung
Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits
You

Love comes to you and then after
Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise
Sharp-distance
How can the sun with its arms all around
Me
Sharp-distance
How can the wind with so many around me
I feel lost in the city

best song evar..........

Soon oh soon the light
Pass within and soothe this endless night
And wait here for you
Our reason to be here

Soon oh soon the time
All we move to gain will reach and calm
Our heart is open
Our reason to be here

Long ago, set into rhyme

Soon oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here

Soon oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here

November

i survived a week in GA. Still glad to be back from that.
my stress level is off the hook.

last night james and i signed paperes for "the agreement of sale" for our house. the bid came in very low- but we took it. obviously there is no choice at this dismal point.
settlement is scheduled for dec 19th. let's hope we make it to that.

thanksgiving is coming up and i am not ready. i usually look forward to this day.
Thanksgiving = kicking back and relaxing, but not when you are working on an impossible deadline at the office and in less than 2 days you will be having 13 people over to your new house where you are not really unpacked yet. i have too many things to do, and it is manifesting in stress, panic and fatigue. not fun!

i had a dream i was in a thrift store / ER waiting room.
i was of course looking at old thrifty crap, but i was also looking at all the sick people. there was a middle aged lady and her two kids. the one kid asked me for some gum so i gave her some. then i looked at her sisier and she looked sick. she was bent over and crying. and her shirt was kinda up so i could see that she was weeping blood from her belly button. the mother didn't really seem to care beacuse she was sick herself.
i asked around if someone could please take her in to see a doctor. finally they took her in to see the doctor.

Mad mad props to the wonderful Miss LouLou for helping me straighten out my crazy life... always nice to find someone on this planet that understands. I am starting to feel better in my own skin.

i am feeling good this morning desipte the number of dead cats i saw on my way to work today. :-(

a big sigh of relief...

it is Wednesday afternoon.
i am stressed as hell - but am still on the best presidential high.

so happy for many reasons.....
happy to have a new president i am proud of.
happy not to have to be stressed over the negative campaign race anymore.
and most of all - elated that i do not have to hear/see/read about sarah palin.
i always liked mccain.. i'm sad he had to say some crazy ass things... but who knows what he was going through.

CHANGE.
on the eve of finding out who will be our next president, I found out that they were changing who i report to at work. I now report to my boss's boss. They said they did not think the 'dotted line' was efficient- so they just have me now as a direct report to the head manager.
i also know my boss was tired of being micro-managed by her boss in all her decisions with me.
This is OK with me- but i did really like my old boss, and i know for a fact this new boss will be a huge challenge for me. i just have to keep telling myself that i am tough- and i can take it.

STRESS.
i am having thanksgiving, christmas and new years eve at my house this year.
enough said.

LOVE.
in 2 days i will have a new Husqvarna Viking Platinum Royal 755 Q Quilt Sewing Machine shipped to my house. i have never laid eyes on a Husqvarna before- but i am already in love. i can't WAIT to get my hands on the manual and start sewing!!!!! i just can't wait. i truly hope this new machine will help enable me to reach some of my long-time lofty artistic goals of designing beautiful quilts. the idea of being able to professionally put together fabric makes my heart sing.

gems from my new boss.....

THANKS FOR THE TIP!

i <3 my babies!
