Pics for you dahlin

Last week's park expedition...look here for more of the fun....





Not the most flattering of shots, PTL. Deal with it, that's me.

Summer weather is fading...sigh...

the last 24 hours

Drove up last night to spend freeday in the States...we had a special little moment while in Tijuana where the usual way to the border was blocked...uhoh, especially as I've only driven the border crossing 3 times and am completely ignorant of the TJ city streets. I drove the wrong way down a one way street, had to navigate my way out of probably the most dangerous part of town, but finally found the border via a different route. Phew. Not fun. I was having mini-panic attacks the whole time.
Then to make last night even more exciting, later on in the evening in a moment of absent minded clumsiness, I whacked my forehead with the car door and managed to slice it open...not bad enough for stitches, but it's still hurting like heck and I've had a headache from it for the past 24 hours. Argh.
We had a good day, though, I chauffeured the girls around and we did some shopping and hung out for a bit. I satisfied my ice cream fix, so that made me happy.
On the way home, the Ensenada Cuota was covered in seriously dense fog. It was really really freaky part of the way, I was praying up a storm that we wouldn't have an accident. I've never driven in conditions that bad and hope I'll never have to repeat the experience. It stressed me out. Argh.
But I'm home now, nursing my headache and wishing I could have talked to you while up above the border. Everyone I tried to call didn't answer for some reason :-( Oh well. I'll live.
Pray my head heals without too much pain, pretty please? Thanks luvs.
Counting the days.

Fine...forget the rock...I miss posting

There, I'll admit it. I miss writing and posting trivial nothings on this blog. Silly eh. So I'm back to normal, which for me is roughly a post every few days.
Hibernating isn't all it's cracked up to be. (How would an insomniac hibernate anyway?)
So lets see....updates...the house has been quiet all day with most everyone above the border attending a wedding. I suppose it's just as well I wasn't able to go. Weddings bring out the cynic in me in full force. But regardless of being there or not, Congrats Michael and Amy. May you live and love long and have many beautiful babies. Cheers.
I bought my ticket for a much needed vacation next month, visiting my sister for a few weeks and this beautiful one for a few days at the end. Counting the days. Definitely looking forward to that.
Ok all done for now. Hoping I'll come up with something interesting to say soon. Til then, know that you are loved.

Returning back under my rock.......

If I stand here
Still enough
Could I fade away
Silently
Like the steam that fogs a mirror
The smoke rising
From extinguished candle’s flame
Or the heady scent
Of love leaving the building

Could I blend
Into the landscape
And finally
Become
Invisible to everything
A stark canvass
Or transparent mess of color
That would serve to mask
Freshly tender wounds

Could I close my eyes
Drift away on the breeze
Slide down rainbows
Rest
On a bed of clouds
Sleep with stars as my pillow
The moon as my blanket
And let the sun wake me
To peaceful nothingness

Crawling out from under my rock to post a few pics

Theme: Dress like a rock star
Saying Goodbye to Marky and Jason.
Note Jules and Chuck's "Beatles Rock Star" motif. Brilliant.
Excuse my face.






Lovin and missing you guys...good luck with the new place. xxxx

Hibernating

In the words of Thumper....
If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all.
I'm not going on an official blogging hiatus, but seeing as neither you nor I need negativity splattered anywhere for all to read, I've decided during this phase of my life to make myself scarce and lay low for a while. I may update here or there, some poetry or pictures, but forgive me, especially close friends and family if it's sparse and far between.
I'm sure I'll pick it up again. I love you. I miss you. I wish you were here. xxxx

This is me going into semi-hibernation...zzzzzz

Currently listening to "Pieces" by Red

I'm here again
A thousand miles away from You
A broken mess, just scattered pieces of who I am
I tried so hard
Thought I could do this on my own
I've lost so much along the way

Then I'll see your face
I know I'm finally Yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name
I come to You in pieces
So You can make me whole

I've come undone
But You make sense of who I am
Like puzzle pieces in Your eye

Then I'll see Your face
I know I'm finally Yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name
I come to You in pieces
So You can make me whole!

If you've never heard this song or this group before, you're missing out.

Hugs and a new brain are high on my list of needs right now.
