Swear to me that you will never tell a single soul, that I did this last night when I was so tired and slap-happy from packing. SWEAR IT!

On the perils of being ½ of an egg, which produced two Alpha Females

Not that I’m complaining at all about being or not being the queen of my domain. But when a queen changes domain, she has to deal with the fact that her former domain has a new queen… ya know? So my twinnie-pooh is the same way, and she also doesn’t particularly realize that when the former queen comes home, there will be trouble.

Why? That’s easy. Because old-queen and new-queen have different ways of doing things, different ways of seeing things, and most especially, different opinions about the way the world works. Old queen knows of things far and wide, and wants to open new queen up to the whole way the world works. New queen knows of family and responsibility, and of what it means to play by the rules, do what is expected of you, and make a fun night not of fancy restaurants and bottles of wine and trips far and away… but of hotdogs, hometowns, and life-long friends.

Two alpha females, and two modes of operation… two versions of mechanics on which the earth spins…

Dorothy's Song

Okay, it's really Simon and Garfunkle's "Kathy's Song"... but it's my song today...

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls

My mind's distracted and confused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
Kiss you when you start the day

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There before the grace of you go I

A Girl Can Only Hope.... Can't She?

Come monday
By: jimmy buffett
1974

Headin’ up to san francisco
For the labor day week-end show
I’ve got my hush-puppies on
I guess I never was meant for glitter rock and roll
And honey I didn’t know
That I’d be missin’ you so

Chorus:
Come monday, it’ll be all right
Come monday, I’ll be holdin’ you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown l. a. haze
And I just want you back by my side

Yes, it’s been quite a summer
Rent-a-cars and west-bound trains
And now you’re off on vacation
Somethin’ you tried to explain
And darlin’, since I love you so
That’s the reason I just let you go

Chorus:
Come monday, it’ll be all right
Come monday, I’ll be holdin’ you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown l. a. haze
And I just want you back by my side

I can’t help it honey
You’re that much a part of me now
Remember that night in montana
When we said there’d be no room for doubt
I hope you’re enjoyin’ the scen’ry
I know that it’s pretty up there
We can go hikin’ on tuesday
With you I’d walk anywhere
California has worn me quite thin
I just can’t wait to see you again

Chorus:
Come monday, it’ll be all right
Come monday, I’ll be holdin’ you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown l. a. haze
And I just want you back by my side!

Baby, I love you... you know...

My head spins and swims.

What am I supposed to be doing? Feeling? Thinking?
How does one deal with having their heart ripped out
still beating and bloody?

Why wouldn't I agree to anything that would turn his
mind back to me?

But alas, that is not the answer here. Things have to
work out the way they have to... and on their own,
with only effort -- NOT FORCE -- on our parts.

Sigh.

So M.W. (and you know that I still think you are wonderful)...
here's lookin' at you, kid:

"I still believe in you" by Vince Gill

Everybody wants a little piece of my time
But still I put you at the end of the line
How it breaks my heart to cause you this pain
To see the tears you cry fallin’ like rain
Give me the chance to prove
And I’ll make it up to you

I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby I still believe in you and me

Somewhere along the way,
I guess I just lost track
Only thinkin’ of myself never lookin’
back
For all the times I’ve hurt you, I apologize
I’m sorry it took so long to finally realize
Give me the chance to prove
That nothing’s worth losing you

I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby I still believe in you and me
