rats spelled backwards is...... STAR!!!

a very MOKF day (moan on k's futon - day)
today I gave the worst presentation in the history of presentations - infact, you know what? it doesn't even deserve such merit...(even being spectacularly bad is a distinction - my piece deserved nothing of the sort). don't you hate it when you make a presentation (can I just say that fear of public speaking + too little preparation = disaster) and you spend the next 2 hours stressing about the things you didn't say [like the main point!] oh Talibah. *sigh*
but some good came of the day
1. the presentation is over and I don't have to stress about it anymore
2. I took a long walk (it was a brilliant day) and many neat things happened like......
*someone stuck a star on their window - it said "BAM!"
*I passed a leafless bow-bush - someone had industriously tied maroon bows on many of the branches
*someone said "mopeds are gay" and "spandex is gay.. especially full body spandex"
*there are buses running on the street car tracks - I don't know why (one of them read "Special")
*I had a conversation with a young man in the grocery store - we talked about bread (I knew the young man)
*I had a conversation with an old man in the grocery store - we talked about how expensive icecream is - I showed him a good inexpensive one to buy - he was grateful (I did not know the old man)
*I made up an ode to fresh bread ("Fresh Bread how I love thee - let me count the ways.... I love the way you smell..."etc)

so here's to sucky presentations, may they bring bright days.

F.O.D.: Food for the soul

Last night C and I saw Saf in perfomance - the show was great! I felt moved in some of the pieces (like the dance to "Ain't no sunshine") and it got me thinking - how do people create a dance? I mean, how do they hear a sound and decide which way to move in space and how to make many people move in space to create a feeling... it intrigues me.
I'm getting that hungry feeling - that feeling that I get when I feel as though I should be doing much more than I am - and I don't mean school work, I mean expressing, communicating, connecting. that inspired feeling that you get when you want to change the world - do you know what I mean?
the rainbow connection -
"I've heard it too many times to ignore it, it's something I'd like to be.... someday we'll find it -
the rainbow connection -
the lovers, the dreamers and me" Kermit the Frog

perhaps I'll find it.

The Lord is the Rock.

There are no words, only thoughts and prayers at this time. May you be comforted by our Father God, and in pain find His strength.

Psalms 23

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

(Ten) Pound Cake

so today I had blueberry Pound cake - and it was so yummy I had some more (I want more still) but now I understand why it's called "pound" cake - my tummy's so heavy I might fall over. I think I rename it 10-pound cake (it sits like a sack of potatoes under my shirt) And to think I used to want to get pregnant when I grow up?!! (LOL)

ABC gum

It's been such a long time since I've written I almost forgot my password! yes, it's been a long time. Do you remember when kids would ask if you wanted something that was A.B.C. (already been chewed). recently I've been thinking about Elf (great movie) when he's going to the city and his friends tell him - don't lick the yellow snow (we just saw a kid - maybe 2 or 3years old, bend over and touch the yellow snow - his mother was mortified...), and that gum on the bottom of tables is NOT free candy.
Or remember the silly things we used to say? -
"I'm rubber you're glue, whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you!"
"Girls are handy, made out of candy. Boys are rotten, made out of cotton."
I forget the others now... you guys probably have different ones in North America - one I heard 2 days ago was about beans..... Kailey, could you tell me again?
