passing judgement

I just realized that i pass judgement on my Cds. While I love the content of my burned cds, I never play them as much as the ones with printing on them. I'm going to blame that on being a designer and not because I am a visually judgemental person.

elly and her giant hair

There once a girl named elly.

She had the prettiest hair.
It was dark but her skin was fair.

In the winter it laid right in place,
It was so nice around her face.

But in the summer with the humidity so strong,
Her hair always looked so very wrong.

It was giant, it was big,
To see her face you would have to dig.

What could she do?
Who could she sue?

It wouldn't fit in a hat.
It was so big it would hide a cat.

She couldn't tie it in a bun,
That look was overdone.

When she was walking down the street,
A handsome boy she did meet.

He said he liked her hair,
Which was funny because his head was bare.

They fell in love, what a pair,
About the hair they did not care.

evening

It's a good movie. I went with my mom. We had to wait till all of the credits went through and then she still wasn't finished crying.

My grandmother is starting to take baby steps toward the slippery slope. Her spirit is stronger than her body. I guess that is how it should be. To have a spirit that is so close to God that He gently scoops it out of a body that is too tiered to fight back.

I don't think daughters ever really believe that their mother will ever die. Mothers are such immortal creatures. They bring in the morning with a song, dance around the noon sun and kiss away the night.

and the good citizen award goes to...

...good ole dad of course!

It's a good story, you'll have to call to hear it because I just can't find the words.

They say

that the shortest distance between two people is a story.

Follow your heart

it's an easy thing to say.

I'm not the pro at following this advice. Sometimes I confuse the jump in my heart as a signal to turn the other way when my heart is actually trying to nudge me in the right direction. And then the "follow my heart" moment is gone.
