love and laundry.





if i have to do another pile of laundry, i'll scream. damn the lunacy!! aye, mama mia. so it appears that rosie is on hiatus. aye. the pain it causes me. and speaking of pain,... my sister had a nice little ER visit yesterday. vicious sprained ankle. i was sweatin bullets there for a bit, while we were awaiting the verdict of what her affliction was/is. so she'll begin school on crutches. fun. i love my family. they're so great.
i am just now coming into my own of realizing that they've ALWAYS been my TRUE family. love is what its all about, and i know that now. while my bizzarre family is FAR from perfect, they are after all, my family. they love me for me. and that is something he could never give me throughout his entire miserable and pathetic existence. i don't think its about what you've got while you're here, rather, its all about what you leave behind. and a path of destruction wider than Katrina doesn't speak highly of him, now does it? i've made my mistakes, and gosh knows, i've made plenty of them. but i own up to it. and now, more than ever, i know just exactly how lucky and blessed i truly am. to be surrounded by authentic family and authentic friends is all you can ever ask for in this life, isn't it? i am a happy girl.
our house is truly coming along. the roofing was completed today. excitement keeps brewing!! we settled on colors for the siding and shutters. we couldn't get the original color we wanted, because, apparently, siding doesn't come in dark colors. yet the shutters do. whatever.
tell your loved ones what they mean to you. a little bit of love goes on forever. i'm ending this blog with song lyrics that speak to my core, to my soul.

Message to Myself ~ Melissa Etheridge
I'm sending out a message to myself
So that when I hear it on the radio
I will know that I am fine,
I will know that I am loved.

I warned myself of the blackness in my chest
The razors in my heart would never rest
It's funny how you find just what you seek
Love is what you get when love is what you speak

I'm sending out a message to myself
So that when I hear it on the radio
I will know that I am fine,
I will know that I am loved.

I made every choice along the way
Each day I spent in hell I chose to stay
It's funny what you fear can make you weak
Truth is what you get when truth is what you speak

I'm sending out a message to myself
So that when I hear it on the radio
I will know that I am fine,
I will know that I am loved.

So if you are listening I am just passing through
You can take some for yourself 'cause it works that way too

Sha la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la
I will know that I am fine,
I will know that I am loved.

I'm sending out a message to myself
So that when I hear it on the radio
I will know that I am fine,
I will know that I am loved.

I'm sending out a message to myself
So that when I hear it on the radio
I will know that I am fine,
I will know that I am loved


Saving Grace ~ Everlast
One time around the block
2 times around the clock
3 times don't cross the little lady

So pretty & oh so bold
got a heart full of gold on a lonely road
she said "I don't even think that God can save me"

(Am I) gaining ground
(Am I) losing face
(Am I) lost & found by Saving Grace
Thankful for the gift My Angel's gave me

Born alone
We die alone
'n I'm just sittin' here by the phone
waitin for the Lord to send my callin'

Street wise from the boulevard
Jesus only knows that she tries too hard
She's only tryin' to keep the sky from fallin'

Any man says it's Heaven & Hell
Prob'ly got somethin' useless to sell
You ask me if I'm saved but what's it to ya?

Blow a quarter
cop another eighth
you're runnin' out of high, you're losin' your faith
Throw your hands up & scream halleluiah

halleluiah x4 Amen

One time around the sun
another year older and my work ain't done
it's time for me to write the final chapter

Deal the cards & roll the dice
sex drugs & rock n roll are my only vice
tryin' to figure out just what's here after

halleluiah x6 Amen
