sounds like big black with pretty instead of screamy...i am so in love with this today!
and hannah chasing meely in circles...and dogs getting baths,,,and swimming!!

This is Will. He is the most amazing person I have ever met! He is witty, super funny, well read and smart. He likes to draw and sing and dance! He is an awesome dancer! He says nice things to his little sister and kisses her every night. He loves to play video games and wants to design them when he grows up! He wants to play the drums! I love him more than the whole world combined and I miss him this week while he is on vacation in Central City, Kentucky. I can't wait to see him when he comes home! I can't wait to read books with him and swim and ride bikes and go get ice cream and play lazer tag! It will be awesome!!

I just have to write about my wonderful 2 days....wonderful because we started a new meeting on Friday night at St elizabeth in Norwood..not only is the place beautiful and everyone loved the meeting, it's so good to look around a room and know how much love is there! Also, Will came with us, which is awesome! He hung in til 11, then fell out on us! He left this morning to go to his Dad's house for a week! I already miss him, but I know he will have fun! Totally fighting the urge to call him...as i lay in bed, thinking of him...I know how my mom feels now. Everyday, you love them all you can and hope God takes care of them and protects them, but I have no control and I just have to stay in this very moment and be a good mom...

things i fell in love with just today...

empire of the sun ,cos i just got the whole album, so my ipod, too, cos i finally know how to use it correctly...kind of!
hannah pretending she is a puppy, barking and wanting me to sniff her and kiss her by licking her
my ex & I being friends again & being friends with his wife...
being in a long distance book club....so reading Everything is illuminated and blood meridian by cormac mccarthy...it's not all the pretty horses, but i'm still drawn to it....
charles fort, who i have been calling charles roth for whatever reaon. I came up with tim roth doing a mean charles starkweather in "murder in the heartland" and combining those two names perhaps.....
"dancing queen" by abba, playing loudly in my kitchen while hannah & i dance and sing and will watched on, laughing
darth vader voice changer!!!! and having 2 so I get to play, too!
vincent dinafrio
new order
having good friends come home...
painting space ships, layered and majestic!
the possibilities of all that lies ahead...
cos you don't know the power of the dark side can only be countered with...
shooofly, don't bother me, shoofly, don't bother me!

Today, Hannah naps and I am lost..in time. I can do whatever I want to and instead, I am really doing absolutely nothing. All of the things I thought about doing involve me learning or creating or expending energy. Today, I just want to rest. I'm much too young to feel this damn old...:)

when I lived on Lee Street in covington in 1996, I painted on a lot of found objects. This was painted on an old piece of wood 3'X4' and was a gift for my friend, Shelly!

i fall in love...

....everyday with something new! Luckily, my life continues to get better & I continue to grow...
here's what I fell in love with today. Phoenix! You can listen to it right now, if you are reading this! Except I'm pretty convinced not a single person on earth is because I have no idea how to add it to my myspace or FB pages. Anyhoo....

I also love Passion Pit, which I picked up at Shake It! Records , which I also love! I can't find Empire of the Sun, so I listen to it online..I also got DustySpringfield LP from Joseph Beth Booksellers!! (a little plug, since I work there!) They have a great new selection of vinyl! A lot of older jazz & indie, all the Pixies on vinyl! All at very good prices, even if you don't get a discount!:)

I bought some older stff, since I am replacing my vast cd collection that burnt up in my car 2 years ago. The empty cases sit in my basement and each week, I try to replace something. The Smiths the queen is dead and oh my god it's the flaming lips, OTR's first album, which I am playing the bajezus out of! Much to my families chagrin! Oh, and the Pain Teens, who I adore! Bliss Blood & Kat from Babes in Toyland are prob'ly my 2 fav female vocalists of allllll time!

I can't wait to play tomorrow night! Matt wrote the most amazing song and the lyrics are cool as heck! It sounds really good! One of those songs where he hands me the lyrics, he starts playing and the stars fall outta my eyes and into the vocals, it's magic and works right away, like snowflakes, like teardrops, natural, unforced and a handhold all at the same time! Love!

MDH got a new present- the new steve earle, which we will be enjoying over dinner tonight. Our kids are overexposed- today Hannah & will watched Odd Nosdam on youtube and the mayhem ensued! she is now obsessed with a naked baby having a baby with wings....Will is excited about the prospect of seeing the Poms play this summeron the square! I have to admit, I'm pretty excited myself! monday night with Ted Leo & the Pharmacists! It's gonna rock!

I told you, my life keeps getting better and better....
