perfection.

just when i think i can't love her anymore, she goes and says this!!

strength & grace.

here it is, the night before school officially starts. i'm anxious as hell. i'm okay with my teachers, so its not that. i think its the sheer size of the expected crowd. that always brings me down to my knees because for the most part, i can't stand people. people are just too stupid for their own damn good. but alas, life goes on. (and the stupid people just sit 'n spin for eternity.)

with every new semester i can't help but to think of my darling favorite redhead, reba. she sings so sweetly, so fiesty, so boldly. she dares to question it, and in so dupes you into questioning your own life without even realizing what she's gotten you to do. that's a true artist, somebody who broadens your horizons; in my opinion, anyways. on her GIANTS program, when this song was performed, they listed quote after quote from people who were inspired to return to school because of her. (the show honoring country GIANTS, as it suggests, named her its "Inaugural Honoree.") that's mah girl.

whatever higher power is out there, please give me strength & grace tomorrow. maybe i'll simply take my cue from Reba.





"...Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin
Is there life out there

She's always lived for tomorrow
She's never learned how
To live for today
She's dyin' to try something foolish
Do something crazy
Or just get away
Something for herself for a change...

There's a place in the sun that she's never been
Where life is fair and time is a friend
Would she do it the same as she did back then
She looks out the window and wonders again

Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin
Is there life out there"

reba delivers.

i was sure today would be a rather shitty one, due to the fantastically shitastic email i had awaiting me on my.space. by the way, to the non-disgruntled readers of my blog: heed not my last blog entry. the subject of that person will not be brought up again, as there is no room in my life for such fuckery. but i digress, when Honey came in with today's mail, i just about damn near had a massive coronary. i saw this huge brown envelope with my name on it from starstruck productions. i.got.something.in.the.mail.from.fucking.REBA.MCENTIRE.

holy shit, yall. i had evidently won a contest from her fan club. Honey couldn't get the package opened fast enough. i won an autographed picture (an actual picture and actual autograph, not one of those fake pictures with a stamped signature), an autographed CD of her current single, Strange, ...AND her box set of her 50 Greatest Hits. i can always count on Reba to make things all better for me. hell, after the funeral in Dec '07 is when i won backstage passes to meet her in Jan '08. i posted my loot below and pointed to the autographs in red arrows. :-)

blissfully dreaming.

last night i had this fabulous dream that was so odd. well i actually had two dreams. in the first one obama lived at my mama's and used my old ass computer that was re-vamped by some secret task force. that way if anybody tried to hack it all they would see is some outdated software.

in my other dream, cheryl and i were at a reba concert, 5th row, and reba came out into the audience giving out souveneres. well somebody took the souvenere out of my hand in front of her. she looked at me and said, "hey sarah," giving me a huge hug. then she said to hold on, that she'd take care of that. later in the concert, her personel hand delivered a backstage pass to me. joey was sitting in the isle next to me and was ecstatic for me. so i go backstage and reba talks to me like an old friend and offers me a job. well i ran back out to the audience to tell cheryl who'd gotten up to go pee. i was wandering around looking for her. in doing so, i saw so many people from my past. i saw costas, garrett, leigh ann, liz, my ex eman, C&J and their daughters... i didn't talk to them though. C&J that is. i just smiled and waved and went on about my business looking for cheryl. anyways thats all i can recall from that dream. but it was AWESOME!!

tomorrow is my two year anniversary being married to my wife, and our 4 year anniversary for being together. aww. i do so adore her and love her with all of my heart because she puts up with all of my shenanigans and such. she's the greatest wife in the whole world!!

this and that...

i must say, i am sitting here contemplating topics for this entry. to get my muses singing into my ear, i hit the 'play' button on my myspace music list. it goes without saying that my queen dominates the list, with the reigning supremacy that only she has cast over me. there is something about every aspect of her being that leaves me powerless to her spells of enchantment. there aren't many things this lady can do that displease me.



at first, the short haircut did just that. why shed all of that trademark hair? that's like dolly parton going down to an A cup. its blasphemous. then when her majesty departed from touring to persue her tv show and her critically acclaimed portrayal of annie in her broadway production, i was proud to see her raw talent extending all around. but i'd be lying to say i was happy she put a hold on touring. and then there's the one thing that leaves me in an ambiguous position: her duet with barry manilow. i absolutely LOATHE that song when it is sung by the original artists, dolly parton and kenny rogers. when i first heard reba and barry's rendition, it annoyed me. but now, it pulls me in like the tide. alas, i have succumbed to it. there are just some things you can't fight against.


this week has been a... busy one. honey had to be treated for another migraine in the er. then my sister... what can i say? teenagers, i tell ya. we are still awaiting the final verdict. i hope and sincerely pray it proves a point to her.


our camera situation leaves a shit taste in my mouth. one camera works, but its usb cord will not connect to the pc. the other camera which holds the same memory card, is not vista compatible. fantastic. i earnestly wish to post pictures of our house, as the tedious progress is nearing its end. i will try to steal a camera from my mom or wisabusth.

life is good.

hell yea.

my honey did the most amazing thing ever. (okay, besides building us a nice fancy house, that is.) speaking of fancy...this coming friday, honey and i will hear, "in this world theres a lot of self-righteous hippocrits, That would call me bad,... She said, heres your one chance fancy dont let me down..."

yesth, yesth, yesth. Reba & Kelly: 2 Worlds 2 Voices Tour at Charlotte, NC. This will be the second concert of THIS tour that I've seen. The first one was flat out PHENOMINAL. (Perhaps that had something to do with my meeting them both. Gee. Ya think?!) I expect nothing less, on this concert. (Except the meeting them again part.) I KNOW for a FACT that my honey will TRIPLE LOVE LOVE LOVE it like I did.

this will be my honey's fourth Reba concert, and my 11th or 12th concert. (I've kinda lost track.) what i haven't lost track of, is that i've met Reba twice and Kelly once.
