Filth Wizard

My desk was ... absolutely  disgusting .
 
 
desk 003
 
 
After a nearly  all day clean-a-thon yesterday , including showing my shame to Eddie 
 as a sort of "look what you are getting into, you poor guy, run away now before it's too late" !
 
I was also attempting  to give myself a proverbial kick up the bum in motivation .
 
The  vast amount of crumbs alone  I found lodged in  my keyboard  were astonishing .
I vacuumed it out with my powerful animal Dyson , and then the chunk-age that was left shifted and blocked my "g" key so it stuck...
IMing proved to be entertaining  for awhile until  they migrated  again.
 
The  dust bunnies wantonly frolicking under my desk is a whole other issue I don't want to get into  at the present time.
 
Last thing I still need to do is  spit shine polish the wood with my  Murphy's Oil Soap  wipes.
 
I'm not sure how long it will stay in this nearly pristine condition.
 
Suffice it  to say that I am  mostly a  domestic diva wannabe .
 
 I'd say that I am actually much closer  to Charlie Brown's Pig Pen character ...

Easter 2006--tasty  memories.

Gotta love the ice sculptures ...

Easterdisplayhappymininannerstoyouhippityhoppitylobstertailsladenwithsweettemptations

This  Easter is low key ,just like 2007 was , mostly we'll be   taking a walk this afternoon and phoning  folks .
No cooking for me  , we bought a bunch of  premade  dinners from our favorite local deli .
 
The sun is shining  and  spring has sprung.
 
I can definitely say Steff and I are both looking forward to Easter 2009.
 
It's all good.

Finally

 We can walk  through the neighborhood  without  stumbling on chunks  of ice  , or being  carried away by snow drifts !
  
 Tulip leaves are  already  bursting   from the ground.
 
I cannot wait  for them to emerge from their  long slumber .
 
Last year  their sudden appearance  gave us a wonderful surprise  with those silken  petals  swaying in the breeze .
 
The joy I felt  looking out  the front windows  everyday, or just walking out to get the mail , warmed every winter weary cell in my body .
 
I approached Spring with a zest I had never before felt.
 
 
In two days , Spring  is officially here this year  and this year the tulips still rank  high on my list of  natural healing therapy .
 
  I've also got  something  wonderful putting some  serious za-za -zu in my step,
 
a zeal whose fervor will not be dampened by those sneaky snow storms that don't  follow the calender rules .
 
 
 
      
 
Heal Over by KT Tunstall
 
 It isn't very difficult to see why
You are the way you are
Doesn't take a genius to realise
That sometimes life is hard
It's gonna take time
But you'll just have to wait
You're gonna be fine
But in the meantime

Come over here lady
Let me wipe your tears away
Come a little nearer baby
Coz you'll heal over
Heal over
Heal over someday

And I don't wanna hear you tell yourself
That these feelings are in the past
You know it doesn't mean they're off the shelf
Because pain's built to last
Everybody sails alone
But we can travel side by side
Even if you fail
You know that no one really minds
Come over here lady

Don't hold on but don't let go
I know it's so hard
You've got to try to trust yourself
I know it's so hard, so hard

Come over here lady
Let me wipe your tears away
Come a little nearer baby
Coz you'll heal over, heal over, heal over someday

March Madness

The light  of day lasts just a bit longer  now, tree  buds are beginning to show  and  the birds are definitely frisky .
Probably  getting ready to fight the local bears  for seed yet again.
 
Six days  before  the official start of Spring 2008 , and  I can  feel  a definite jaunt in my step the past few days .
 
The seemingly relentless pursuit of warmth in this  unforgiving northern clime  ,  is now  centered around a quickening of days as I am anticipating  another visit  to Kentucky in three weeks.
 
I am following  my bliss carrying an unwieldy suitcase  stuffed with way too many shoes, and it's taking me somewhere I never expected to be going .
 
There are days where words fail me , and I cannot encapsulate my state  into a neat and tidy box.
 
My unspoken dreams of  a fulfilling partnership are becoming  a reality as my wishes were seemingly heard by someone  in charge .
 
 
Attempting to focus on balancing the new direction my life is ultimately  heading in , while still living in the here and now ,is proving to be  a daunting task.
 
I wouldn't have it any other way.
 
I love you, Eddie.
 
That's all.

Western Mass White Out

 
At least I've got my warm hearted honey  to lift my spirits, even if only by telephone ...for now .
 
That would be you, my Eddie !
