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"

here i sit at my computer on a saturday night listening to my queen sing her beautiful little heart out. oh how i absolutely adore her! as much as i love the wife, i'd leave her in a heartbeat for that fantastically feisty redhead. (sorry honey. i wub joo.) seriously though... i just watched her new video. suffice it to say, she is fucking HOT. jesus. you find me another 54 year as smokin hot as her. geesh!!

other than drooling over her (and lets not get me started on kelly!! *oh please let my prayers be heard by whatever higher power is out there, PLEASE PLEASE let kelly be a card carrying member of the lesbian brigade, please, please, please!!*) gawd i wish they'd tour together again, because both concerts that i saw of the 2 Worlds 2 Voices Tour were PHENOMENAL. my meeting her for the second time at one of those concerts has nothing to do with my opinion of that. yea, right. i can't even THINK that with a straight face.

ah okay, i must calm down. i tend to get myself worked up in a tizzy over them both, especially the redheaded one. but i digress, here i sit listening to her wondering if its time to dye my hair again. i'm feelin the auburn look again. thanks in part to mrs. mcentire. oh how i achingly wish i could pull off her particular shade of red but i'd look like some twilight character in doing that. a darker, non purple, auburn should suit me just fine. we shall see. i don't really have much to say tonight. i'm just bored stiff here at home, as i have already carried out my housewife chores by folding and putting up all of the laundry. that was a big enough task in itself!

note to reader: yes that IS me with reba and kelly. don't be jealous haters. that was my second time meeting reba. okay NOW you can be jealous haters. :-)
