I'm In Love With You, Joy Williams

Just found this song... one of my YouTube click and finds- Holy hell, it's gorgeous. I love the words, and I love Joy William's voice. I'm going to have to see what I can find of hers on iTunes.

Songs like this make me cry.... and songs like this make me feel lonely... but I love songs like this, because they make me FEEL something. Maybe one day I can dedicate it to my very own someone special...

Lyrics:

I've been waiting all my life for this morning
Just to wake up next to you holding me
And your head is resting gently on my shoulder
Like you're whispering to me

I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
So glad I found you
I'm in love with you

When we're leaving dreams and rolling back the covers
All at once we're getting ready for the day
It's when you look at me in the mirror while you're shaving
Before I go on my way, you say

I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
You're the one I choose
'Cause I'm in love

Love is joy and love is pain
It's kissing in the rain
It's doing dishes when it's late
Isn't it, baby
It's the art of compromise
It's hellos and long goodbyes
It's the picture of our lives
Isn't it crazy

So I'll call you when I get to where I'm going
And I'll tell everyone we know you said hello
And without fail they'll ask me if I miss you
Of course I do, you know I do

'Cause I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
You're the one I choose

I'm in love
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I love you just the same as I did the day
I fell in love with you

Creative Escape

I've been hiding again from the blogging experience, but I've also been really busy. February has been jam packed so far with a lot of events, my birthday, guests and just kiddo activities too!

I haven't felt much like writing lately, but I think it's because I've been so busy, I'm just trying to rest when I can. I made a batch of soap last night, and painted a whole bunch too. There's an art show coming up next weekend that I'm participating in.  I'm trying to get all these pieces that I want to include finished so that they can be available for sale at the event.

Life's good otherwise, I just spent a small fortune between Victoria's Secret and Frederick's of Hollywood. I needed (desperately) new undergarments, and it had been a while since I had truly re-stocked the unmentionables drawer. My favorite black push-up bra broke last weekend, and I knew it was time to go ahead and make the necessary purchases. Thankfully, there were decent sales and free shipping involved.

I bought the kids Bendaroos (they had wanted them for ages) and I woke up to find a love note on my bedroom door this morning in bendaroos. It says, "I <3 Mom" with happy faces and hearts and peace signs. That's always a great way to start your Saturday morning!

We were supposed to go to Louisville Science Center today, but the kids vetoed that idea this morning and want to go tomorrow instead... So we'll pack up the car and head out for Louisville tomorrow mornin'.

I'm about to hit the showers and relax a bit..

Painting again...

This is still in progress. Started off as a mixed media piece with scrapbook paper and magazine clippings, buttons, tags... A whole lotta stuff. Now, the paint layering begins....

All's Well that Ends Well...

It was a great night at the Sweethearts Gala. My painting was up for auction, as well as a gift basket from Lady Luna Luxuries. I was treated to a fun night of conversation and cocktails followed by an amazing dinner at the Hutton Hotel. Crabcakes, Mini Filet... and the decadent raspberry truffle dessert. Yum!

 My table

With Joey and Rory - the celebrity Sweethearts of the event... they put on a great show for us!

I hit Losers and Rebar after the event. It was a great night out! Got to see Manuel again at Rebar- forgot to take pictures... but for a Friday night out on the town, I got to dress up, I got that great dinner, I got to see a lot of friends - and make some new ones and mostly, I had a wonderful evening altogether!

I'm going to have to think about it.

A friend canceled on me for an expensive dinner I was looking forward to last night. With zero explanation. Via text message.

Really? I'm sorry, but it's not a date, nothing romantic, and it's been planned for weeks. AND - there was no obligation to this person to pay a cent. I just wanted someone to sit across from me and enjoy the really good food and conversation- because I didn't want to go to dinner there to sit by myself.

In addition, our friendship is such that I do a lot of things for this person. Just because it makes me happy to do them. This is the first time I've asked this person to do something where they weren't getting paid to be there- and I'm not going to lie. I'm a little pissed.

Now, I'll give this person the benefit of the doubt. My phone died last night, so possibly there was a text message that I didn't get... but every other one came through this morning... so.. we'll see. I'm going to have to think about this.

Anyone else wanna dress up and go out on the town? I'm hell bent and determined to recover this bullshit of a planned night out.
