I am coming to you this morning from my back yard. The house is still asleep as they had a late night at the Supercross races. But the birds and I are bright and cheery in the morning sunshine!
Whilst they were away yesterday, I had a couple friends over to do a "little" yardwork.
And there has been an amazing transformation take place on my tiny piece of property.
It's like a blank canvas, just waiting for an artist's brush.
I get to be the artist!
Do I want green grass to grow there? Do I want azalea's here?
What am I doing just sitting here typing?!
I must create!

Bits and Pieces
I'm listening to Billy Joel's greatest hits at work today.
It brings tears to my eyes.
He really has a way with words.
Not for Billy Joel, mind you.
Subject Change:
I heard a quote to live by this week. It goes like this:
When someone shows you who they really are, believe them.
Isn't that simply brilliant?
How many times have we been in a relationship thinking if we just hang in there, they will change, things will be different, just a little longer. Well this is your get out of jail free card. When someone shows you who they really are, by their actions...and they will...believe them. Believe them the first time.
Peace Out,

She's got a way about herDoesn't it make you want to be "her"? It does me.
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her
She's got a way of pleasin'
I don't know what it is
But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way of talkin'
I don't know why it is
But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere
Not for Billy Joel, mind you.

Crazy
I have been failing miserably on the writing of the words on this here blog business. Apologies all around.
But you know its never pretty if when I have so many rambling thoughts running around in my head and cohesion is hiding in the nether regions of my mind.
Let's see. The supreme court is working on not having to make a decision on the legality of Prop 8, or DOMA, or states rights.
I really wish they would just buckle down and jump the broom.
It's inevitable. There is no stopping it.
Wait, I bet that's what Alice Paul thought in 1923.
And thousands of women, every single congressional session between 1923 and 1970.
And although women have marched for equality for minorities and the lgbt community, they have not given as much effort for their own federal protection of equal rights, and it has quietly gone away. And we've let it. And we wonder why they are shutting down planned parenthoods and denying women access to preventative health care.
I am very glad to be at the front of a three day holiday. I'm looking forward to two days of sunshine. I am going to plant some flowers and such in the yard this weekend. Maybe I'll take pictures for you of the potatoes i'm growing in a pot. yea, it's a pinterest idea that my husband thinks is a bit crazy.
He's a bit crazy. I'm learning how to navigate being married to a man with a grown son. It is very different from being married to a man with three daughters. They joke about boy stuff and I've had to explain how much of the boy jokes are very much unappreciated by the girls of the family. The good thing is that I am able to say that to him, in private of course, and he listens to me. I would give you an example, but it's quite embarrassing. But I simply explained to him that when he says inappropriate things in front of me, it gives others permission to do the same, and that's not okay. Since his brain tumour, I've had to teach him things that he used to know. Like what not to say in front of a lady (that's me).
We are watching American Idol like crazy people. We have a hometown girl in the top 8. Amber Holcomb is from our small town of 2k people. She's easy to get excited about because she is extremely talented. Her mother works at the school my daughter attends. This small Texas town is very excited.
Alright, my crazy husband just cooked me dinner, so I'm going to sign off now.
Have a great Easter holiday.
Peace and Love,
susan
