Questions...

HOLLY: what's your favorite color?
ME:  teal
HOLLY why?
ME it's calming and makes me happy
HOLLY what's your favorite animal?
ME: puppies
HOLLY why?
ME they're cute and cuddly and smell good
HOLLY what's your favorite "type" of water? like.. a pool, ocean, raindrop, bottled water, puddle, anything like that...or it can be a specific lake, pond, river, etc
whatever
ME aziscohos lake
HOLLY why

So.. apparently Holly was quizzing me from a thing that Kateland did at her church.
What you say about your favorite color is is supposed to be how you want other people to see you, how you describe your favorite animal is supposed to be what you want in a significant other, and how you describe the water is how you view God.
So, to put this in perspective:
I want people to see me as calm and someone who makes other people happy (which I agree with)
I want my spouse to be cute and cuddly and smell good (oh yes, 100% yes :D)
and I view God as a clean fresh-air smelling beautiful place where I grew up, and as my family (<3)
I don't cry often... but this got me a little teared up...

<3 




oh, side note... "failing this" might be possible... like saying something like this (as Ryan did):
my favorite animal is a yellow lab because it's furry...

popcorn

I am incapable of making an appropriate amount of popcorn.  Every time I make it I tell myself, “okay self, now last time you overflowed the pot, you don’t need all that popcorn, it just hung around for a week and you threw it away.  DO NOT cover the whole bottom!”  But I always do.  And even when i know there’s always too much in there, I figure, hey! a couple more won’t hurt right? 

So now, I sit with my normal sized bowl of popcorn, and a gigantic pot of it spontaneously popping those lonely un-popped kernels looming in the background.

Seriously, how is this a problem of mine?  I’m a grown woman, I should know how to pop a normal amount of popcorn.

Shit, I left it on the burner and it’s burning.... shit shit shit!

With You In Your Dreams

He was gone when I woke up....
Today is his birthday
It's been 3 years
This song still makes me break down.

I miss you Grampie
Love, Jenny


If I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't cry
And if I'm gone when you wake up
It's not goodbye
Don't look back at this time as a time
Of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams

But If I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't cry
And if I'm gone when you wake up
Don't ask why
Don't look back at this time
As a time of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams

And though my flesh is gone, 

I'll still be with you at all times
And although my body's gone, oh
I'll be there to comfort you at all times

I don't want you to cry and weep, oh
I want you to go on living your life
I'm not sleeping an endless sleep, oh
'Cause in your heart
You have all of our good times
Oh, all of our good times
Oh oh you have

And if I'm gone when you wake up
Don't ask why
Don't look back at this time
As a time of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams
