tomorrow night ...

is my first ever patty griffin show.

"she took to the air with the greatest of ease
like she was born to be gliding on that old trapeze.


some people don't care
if they live or they die.


some people wanna know what it feels like to fly.


gather their courage and they give it a try..."


"tomorrow may rain with sorrow.


here's a little time we can borrow.
forget all our troubles in these moments so few.


all we've got right now, all we've really gotta do
is have ourselves a heavenly day."


"the leaves are green and new like a baby.


tulips are red now, i don't miss the snow.


it's the first day i don't wear my
big boots.


you hold my hand.


i've got burgundy shoes."


"sometimes i feel like
i've never been nothing but tired.


and i'll be walking until the day i expire.
sometimes i lay down, no more can i do.


but then i go on again. because you asked me too."


"i'm gonna find me a man, love him so well
love him so strong, love him so slow


we're gonna go way beyond the walls of this fortress


and we won't be afraid, we won't be afraid
and though the darkness may come our way
we won't be afraid to be alive anymore.


and we'll grow kindness in our hearts
for all the strangers among us


till there are no strangers anymore."

and also.

tomorrow it's going to be 70 degrees here.
sev.en.ty. degrees people.
the picture's of laura. but it's what i'll be doing.

less bucktown than ...

can i throw a housewarming party ...
from a box?
i hope so.
apartment finding in this city is ...
out. of. control.

hope.

the sky is blue and sunny. the season's are changing.

one of those.

i spent a week in clarksville with meg, dutch, coby, ellie and john wyatt. it was big time fun, big time restful, big time busy, and big time healing. i love being there, though i try not to gush too much. this is brand new baby john wyatt:


ellie the phant. who was hardly bigger than john wyatt is now the last time i saw her. this is pretty much the face she makes in every picture ... she didn't like the flash. :smile:


dutch and cobes. always fun. dutch is starting soccer this year and so pretty much all we did was play. and coby "lalala's" all over the house. it's hysterical.


dress shopping proved extremely successful, rochelle however was pretty entirely annoyed by the picture taking by about an hour in.


dress shopping lunch with rochelle's mom denise, roche, jacquie and ariel.


the super bowl party at goose island.


ice skating downtown.


tomorrow:
there's company here.
pat green at the house of blues.
carol's pub.
feed.
birthday weekends are so so fun.
it's a whirlwind. i like a whirlwind every now and again.

tonight:
the twisted spoke.
the best fried egg sandwich you've ever had.
hopefully the departed.
that's what i'm pushing for at least.
i have :just:got: to see it.
i mean who does not love that martin finally got his academy award?

last night:
the happy village.
fun.
the inattentive bartender was counting money.
i said: um. can i get a beer from you?
guy at the bar: outspoken. i like it. tomorrow ... you're going to be on the view. ok? i line stuff up for them. tomorrow. you. ::toasts::.
what?
mia after hearing: was it louie? louie's weird. i bet it was louie.

this morning:
me: what letter is this?
viv: B.
me: and what does B say?
viv: buh buh buh.
me: great. and what starts with B?
viv: bored?
so much for trying to be one of :those: aunts.

last sunday:
i'm pretty sure someone i know sent this in.


this week:
i'm loving billy currington's good directions.
my boots came. i love them.
but i don't wear them turned down in that odd way.
finally saw the science of sleep. loved.
and scoop. loved.
and my dead man's chest dvd.
lots of movies get watched when you're sick and actually take a day and a half off.
half nelson arrived.
as did babel.
and cool hand luke.
i love paul newman.
and ryan gosling.
i managed not to get strep without going to the doctor.
i'm beginning to shake what apparently is just a horrific cold.
at least my feet will stay warm now.
also got cowgirl boots on sale for summer.
turned these down, as there was some toe cleavage problems.
sad, as i've been wanting them for six months.
am thinking this designyourown thing is crazycool.

right this instant:
perhaps a nap?
or should it be a shower and productivity?
a nap i think.
:grin:
