Don't wake me up from yesterday's dreams

Let me linger in the past a little while...

Let the happiness play upon my mind

Like an innocent child's smile.

Time flies by like a thief in the night

Before you kow it, it is gone...

The night disappears

With the breaking of the dawn.

Dreams change with the hands on the clock

Tomorrow leads us on an ever changing path...

Sorrows destroy our happiness, but then

Joy leaves tears forgotten in the aftermath.

Take comfort in knowing the times will change

For better or worse I cannot say...

But dreams make way for reality all too soon

so please don't wake me too quickly today.

The neighbor kid knocked on my door a little bit ago to tell me my rooster was out of my yard.  Not only was he out of my yard, he was across the main road. (55mph, many semi's go by)

I went outside with a cup of chicken feed to try to coax my arch enemy back into my yard.  He walked back and forth, but would not come back across the road. 

So there I am, yellin' "chicky chicky chick" trying to get this stubborn rooster back.  Oh, did I mention I'm skeered of the darn thing?  So I thought: "if I were HIM, what would make me come back?"  Then it hit me.  I went into the middle of the road, yelled at him, then ran back into my yard.  IT WORKED!  That rooster enjoys nothing more than scaring me, so he chased me home. :-)

So now I ask: Why did the rooster cross the road???

To be a pain in my @ss!!  

Hope everyone is having a good day!

hmmmmmmmmmmmm...................maybe we'll have CHICKEN for dinner tonight! LOL

smile just a little bit

life isn't that bad

think of all the good times

you and i have had.

laughter and sunshine

joy and contentment

leaving behind anger

heartache and resentment.

life can get bumpy

a hard road to travel

you may not get blacktop

but be thankful for the gravel.

the sun always rises

the moon will guide you at night

wish on a falling star

for all to turn out right.

this too shall pass

or so i've been told

don't ever let heartache

turn your heart cold.

Just thought I'd share some positive thoughts today. :-)

as i stumbled through the forest ,

not knowing which way i should turn-

 my mind started to wander,

 my insecurities started to burn.

i saw no sunshine through the trees,

 no sound did reach my ear -

i felt so all alone in this world,

 alone, sad, and in fear.

then i heard a gentle rythm,

 looked around to discover the source-

 there standing next to me,

 was a beautiful white horse.

 it calmed me with it's presence,

 it's eyes, soulful and true-

 i knew the moment i saw it,

 it would carry me through.

 into the future on my white steed,

 leaving sorrow in the distant past-

 the sunshine opens up before me,

 leaving darkness behind at last .

Well, I'm at it again. :-)  Just wrote a new poem and would love to hear what you guys think of it.

a black horse blazed through my dreams last night,
ripping away at my pleasant sleep-
hooves pounding across my field of contentment
digging in the ground so deep.

it's eyes were wild and bewildered,
what it was looking for- I'll never know-
fire flew from it's silky mane,
and set the darkness aglow.

it's movements were quick and steady,
it's gait a wonder to behold-
it's destiny at first seemed so clear to me,
in wonder i watched it unfold.

i thought it was something to fear at first,
then i slowly realized it meant no harm-
it's strength, it's  power, his mystery,
were simply part of his charm.

i tried to reach out to capture it,
but it disappeared  before my eyes-
just a dark horse in the night,
telling no truths and no lies.

if there were no YOU

who could love me
with a heart so true
who could accept me
as completely as you do

who could rock my body
in the darkness of the night,
under a blanket of stars
under the pale moon light

who could reach deep within me
and cast out my worries and woe
and replace my insecurities
with love that forever grows

who could stand beside me
and listen while I confess
all my wrong doings
and still love me none the less.

who could point out the big dipper
on a star studded summer night
when I cannot see the obvious
who could show me the light

No one could ever fill your shoes
you are my lover and best friend,
you bring so much to my life
you are my beginning, middle and end.

Love you.

I'm not a morning person,

Not by any means -

I hate to have the morning,

Interrupt my dreams.

I stumble out of bed,

In a grace-less kind of way-

Headed for the coffee pot,

To help me start my day.

The dog is whining and prancing,

He has to go pee-

Who is going to let him out?

Oh, I guess that would be me.

I trudge out to the barn,

The goats need their grain -

I do this every morining,

Snow, sleet, or rain.

I feed the chickens quickly,

The rooster has me in his site -

I never turn my back on him,

He's itchin' for a fight.

The barn cats come running,

Like they haven't eaten in a year -

Don't they know there are yummy mice,

Running around in here?

Back up to the house,

To start my busy day,

Grab another cup of coffee-

To help me on my way.

Walk with me down a flowery path,

Full of pansies, tulips and roses-

Let the slight hint of honeysuckle,

Tickle at our noses.

Leave all your worries at the gate,

Get lost in the colorful blooms-

Escape from your black and white world,

Where uncertainty heavily looms.

Butterflies flutter among the daisies,

Ivy grows rampant along the path-

It's hard to believe all of this beauty,

Grows strong in winter's aftermath.

Down by the pond,

Frogs sun thier faces-

Bunnies and chipmunks,

Seek hiding places.

Happily, I share my garden with you,

Every flower is a message of love-

They are God's little fragments of joy,

As the sun shines from up above.

I just checked out a site that tells you what your Chinese Zodiac sign is. 

My sign is the Goat.  How funny is that.  Kind of creepy too, since it pretty much fits my personality.

Go check it out to see what sign you are.

Some of us have made friends here online.  I enjoy chatting with alot of you.  Talking about having a get together brings this song by Brad Paisley to mind.

I work down at the Pizza Pit
And I drive an old Hyundai
I still live with my mom and dad
I'm 5 foot 3 and overweight
I'm a scifi fanatic
A mild asthmatic
And I've never been to second base
But there's whole 'nother me
That you need to see
Go checkout MySpace

'Cause online I'm out in Hollywood
I'm 6 foot 5 and I look damn good
I drive a Maserati
I'm a black-belt in karate
And I love a good glass of wine
It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
I tell them I don't want nothing serious
'Cause even on a slow day
I could have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
I'm so much cooler online
So much cooler online

When I get home I kiss my mom
And she fixes me a snack
And I head down to my basement bedroom
And fire up my Mac
In real life the only time I've ever even been to L.A
Is when I got the chance with the marching band
To play tuba in the Rose Parade

Online I live in Malibu
I pose for Calvin Klein, I've been in GQ
I'm single and I'm rich
And I've got a set of six pack abs that would blow your mind

When you got my kind of stats
It's hard to get a date
Let alone a real girlfriend
But I grow another foot and I lose a bunch of weight
Every time I login

I'm so much cooler online
Yeah, I'm cooler online
I'm so much cooler online

Yeah, I'm cooler online

Yeah, I'll see ya online

Now I ask you - do we REALLY want to meet offline. LOL

Enjoy this beautiful day everybody!

As daylight fades into the crimson sky,

Mothers sing a sweet lullaby,

Treetops render the wind's lonesome cry....

Remember Me.

A passing glance from a stranger,

Narrowly escaping a hidden danger,

Mother Nature, you'll never change her....

Remember Me.

Cotton candy at the county fair,

The smell of smoke in the air,

The feeling that you just don't care...

Remember Me.

The childish games we use to play,

The summer fling that couldn't stay,

The injured bird that flew away...

Remember Me.

The laughter we share when friends are near,

The way you feel when you drink too much beer,

Your center of reality when you cannot think clear...

Remember Me.

A hot breeze on a sleepless summer night,

Going too fast - holding on tight,

Trying to seperate wrong from right...

Remember Me.

Just thought I would share one of my poems with you all and see what you think. 

If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you

If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
You're all i need
My love, my valentine

All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly

I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
In my dreams i couldnt love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time
You're all i need
My love, my valentine

And even if the sun refuse to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
Cuz all i need
Is you, my valentine

You're all i need
My love, my valentine   "My Valentine" by Marina McBride

What more can I say?  I met you when you were just 21 years old.  Today you turn 46.  We have been through so much together, and I know my life is so much richer just having you by my side.  It's hard to remember my life before you, and I could never imagine my life without you. 

I Love You. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

The new season of Survivor starts tonight.

I love this show.  I've told super he should go on the show, but then I realized, I would probably even vote him off the island. LOL

Last year, James (the guy who had BOTH immunity idols) got blind-sided and kicked off.  I was bummed.  He's back for this season, I hope he is smarter this time.  Johnny Fairplay is back too,,,,,I kinda like the devious little turd! LOL

The best part about Survivor - I know when the season finale gets here, it's SPRING TIME!  :-)

Here are the men that make my heart go pitter patter.

I like em old school. LOL

Question #1

When a friend or family member has asked "Do I look fat in this outfit" have you ever lied to save their feelings?
