i agree with micaela...snow days rock. Except for the part where you gotta shovel in shoulder-high snow in the freezing cold because your heat keeps going off because the snow is clogging up an towering over the PCV valve outside that is the heat outlet for your gas heater and your son's car is almost buried in your driveway, so no one can plow and then you worry that you might get carbon monoxide poisoning because the snow just won't STOP!
~other than THAT, it's fun.
Today is snow day#2 and today was much better. Caela called and sounded so good...kind of upbeat and happy-like. She is going to be such a good mom someday. She gave me lots of advice about my impending home improvement projects (if any of them ever actually happen). bloody hell. (heh. there i go cursing again. what a badass. ~actually, i DO have a bad ass.)
Ahem. so. A couple of cool things coming up. Tomorrow we're back at school and i get to give the kids the valentines i made them, and then tomorrow night at Flynn we're having a talent/family-type night. This is the first year i get to participate, and i'm actually looking forward to it. Several people have asked me to help them with theirs too, so...should be fun.
Then, Saturday Jeremy and i are having a recording day. He asked me to meet him for coffee the other day and said he'd like to record something of mine. So,finally, "Blindspot" will be on tape. And in time for March 19th, which i guess is meaningful...
" i hear you / almost see your face
but my mind's eye never can replace you;
time and nothing makes it easier,
i'm taking sideward glances, but as i do
all but your spirit then eludes me-
i must keep my eyes ahead on a road i did not choose...
This is real life / moving feet of clay
Drive through darkness to the light of day;
Love is all we have to keep us strong,
though blindspots keep you hidden from our view
We try to gather solace from our dreams
and reach to take your hand when day is through
are you there.....and are you listening?
are you there.....and are you listening?
beyond this veil of time / i'm waiting for a sign you're listening...
i'm never letting go / close my eyes so you know i'm listening...
i hear you, by some act of grace
Deep within i know i'll see your face;
Death, not life, is what is fleeting
and the love that binds us never goes away;
i do believe these chains of sorrow
will be broken, and no sting of death remain
are you there.....and are you listening?
are you there.....and are you listening?
beyond this veil of time / know in your heart and mind
i'm never letting go / close your eyes and you'll know i'm listening... i'm listening"
~Hope the taping goes well, and the song comes close to what's in my head (and heart).
Anyway, i'm hopeful. AND, we're going to Luke's place to record and Jeremy's asked him to improve my PC! So we're gonna save what's on it, and he'll gut it and build me a MUCH better one for not much $. yea! (Hmmm... suddenly i have visions of a Hitchcock script, based on a computer who eerily knew of its impending death and murders its owner...aieeee!)
Well, it's getting late, and i'm cold and hungry for dinner. well...not cold for dinner, just hungry. for dinner. and cold. i think i'll have steak, replaced with clam chowda. (Caela, you crack me up.)
