On my mind.

It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.
~Erma Bombeck

No dreams come true until you wake up and go to work.
~Anonymous

When a dream takes hold of you, what can you do? You can run with it, let it run your life, or let it go and think for the rest of your life about what might have been.
~Patch Adams

Running...

Like a kook.
Trying to catch up.
Just one step ahead today would be nice.
I'm all for detours but this is getting to be too much.
There is an intensity that is just a sliver more than what I can take.

I know. I know.

I'm a big Vampire Diaries fan. I saw this video and am over the top excited about it.

Team Up Thursday: Fall

Puna is one of the most marvelous people I know. She continues to offer me comfort as I struggle through a trying time.

Puna's take this week rings deep for me. I have been surrounded by death over the last 10 days. For me, I see in her image that one green tree still vibrant and standing strong amid the others that have surrendered to the changing season.

For mine, I see the beautiful puppy desperate for love and the crinkled leaves on the grass. Fall. Fall in love.

Share in the love over at Melody's and Megan's.

I'll sing what i want.

i love this one. i grew up with this one. bob your head and play it now with me!

Take this gremlins! Who made you king of anything??

Clap..clap clap...clap

La la la la lola.

I might not know very much about my ipod but I can sure spin out some mean tricks on you tube. Sing with me now!

Sit with me.

I'm doing this today...if only in my mind. Are you with me?

Can anybody tell me

what happened to my Amanda Marshall collections album? I have the case but not the disc. Oddly enough my Nirvana incesticide disc is in this case. I can report that I can't remember listening to the Nirvana album in at least 10 years. Perhaps someone can form a theory on the art of disappearing discs.
The You're Beautiful collection album is MIA as is Disc 1 of my Best of Italy collection which has on it L'italiano. I can happily report that the case is in my hot hands, though.
While I'm on this kick, LISA I have the case for Lady Gaga The Fame Monster. Is this the disc that might have lost itself inside your car? If so, I'll send the case. They belong together. And, dear sister, while we're having this one side convo on my blog, any chance you know where the box of discs that used to be mine then became yours then went into hiding is? I might need to seek for it. For the record, I'm not interested in playing the hot and cold game for this one.
