Azron reminded me of this song a few days ago. It is one that I have 'carried' with me for the last few years. I hear this in my head lots of times, and(unfortunately for anyone within earshot) I have sang it outloud to myself on many occassion.

Life is not always easy...sometimes we have created our own trials. Sometimes others create them for us.

I just wanted to share this. It is comforting, humbling, and helps one hang on through the storms.

 NOW THAT'S What I'm Talkin' 'Bout!   AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! Y'all can stop by and sit by the fire!   You are welcome to bring more snacks and drinks! I ain't cookin'! OH, and bring along a movie, some music, your own blankie... If you need directions...just ask. I can tell ya where to go!

Today is Feb. 14th and that is suppose to be something special...but I forget what or why.

So, in honor of the frigidness and snow, I will be chillin' today...




And spend some time with this guy:

(John Grisham)

Or, sadly, and more to the point...his book:



I'm hiding out for the rest of the week. So PLEASE be kind to me and save all the Feb. 14th mush for someone else? (Randy...you are exempt since you already dropped your mush before I put this disclaimer on here!)

Thanks to the sleet and snow... I got a day off from school and all school related stuff...that's the way I see it. I studied my brain to the edge of the deep fry for the test today...and nuthin' . BUT I have a paper to finish for next week AND another test...but this evening I am going to do this:



light some candles...warm up some cider...and add some of this:

Norah Jones - Those Sweet Words

The kids can fend for themselves. They know how to make hot chocolate and I baked them brownies. Live it up.

I could do with some of this, too:



BTW...did someone call Woody next door cuz he came over here with his snowblower today and did the sidewalks and part of the driveway. I guess I had better bake him some heart shaped sugar cookies for tomorrow.

Everyone try to stay warm and have a good evening.

The Saturday Night Music Blog Bash was lots of fun...as usual!  So many GREAT songs and lots of joking and getting to know each other!

HUGE thanks and lots of HUGS to Bella for starting this whole shindig!  And HUGS to Lucy for helping to promote it on her blog!  

I will not be around much (if any) for this next week...although I hope to have time to check in next Saturday night (!).  I have WAY too much school work to do in this next week.  Also, Jr. got in a wee bit of a car accident yesterday and while (thank God...literally...if you only knew!) everyone came out pretty much unscathed...he has a pretty bad whiplash so I will be spending lots of time with him at his chiropractor's this week.  But, he will get 'straightened out' (just HAD to go there). 

One little way I will have fun this week...the Dayton Area is having a 'contest' on who is considered the 'dreamiest doctor' in the Miami Valley...and TJ's chiropractor was nominated!  He was on the news one night...TOTALLY embarrassed, of course.  I just CAN'T let that slip by.  I think he will be getting a special, very LARGE heart shaped sugar cookie with 'Dr. McDreamy' written on it in red frosting!  I wouldn't be me if I didn't do it!

So...all of you guys be good...in one way or another!

Besides, you know, today is the big game between the Lakers and the Cavs. The Cavs have the better record but that don't mean much. LeBron is not quite up to par but his team mates are showing they can step up and actually DO something...LeBron is NOT the whole team but he is a good leader. and Kobe what?
