Smoke Free


Yesterday Bill Owens did something I agree with. He signed the smoking ban into law. Yay...Colorado is smoke free! Starting July 1st, I can go to a restaurant and not smell the lingering cigarette smoke coming over the barrier between smoking and non-smoking. Happy days are here again!!!

Question



Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
'Cos when we stop and look around us,
There is nothing that we need,
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed.

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That's what the war of love is for

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be

And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you.

I'm looking for someone to change my life,
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me,
To lose the love I knew
Could safely lead me through.

Between the silence of the mountains,
And the crashing of the sea,
There lies a land I once lived in,
And she's waiting there for me,
But in the grey of the morning,
My mind becomes confused,
Between the dead and the sleeping,
And the road that I must choose.

I'm looking for someone to change my life,
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me,
To lose the love I knew,
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew,
To learn as we grow old
The secrets of our soul.

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
'Cos when we stop and look around us,
There is nothing that we need,
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed.

Cold, Snowy Daze


Harmony and Cimbi did well at the vet. I think Harmony is getting Cimbi's cold, because she has been sneezing. Poor baby! They were very drugged when they came home on Friday. They could barely walk straight....they definitely would have failed a sobriety check if they were pulled over. hehehehe...

John and I never made it to Buenos Aires Pizzeria on Friday, because we took C-470 to get to 6th ave. Big mistake on our part! It was a parking lot! By the time we made it to 6th ave, we were still miles away from our destination. It was 7pm, and we were suppose to be there by 7pm. Needless to say, we canceled and went to White Fence Farm instead to eat. It was good, but I was sad they didn't have the cute teddy bear hat I wanted to get when I saw it a year ago. It would be a great hat for a baby to wear, but they didn't have it anymore. So sad! I did buy a couple of kitty hats when I went to the Cherry Creek Mall on Wednesday with Sophie. I also bought the matching booties. It was from a store that was going out of business, and I couldn't resist buying those items at such a great deal. Besides, I will eventually have children...I think buying them stuff along the way that is priced well only allows me to save in the long run. I just need the babies to wear these items and enjoy the mural I painted in the future baby room. To quote Jeanette..."Hurry up and get here!"

It's cold and snowy outside right now as I blog. Thankfully, I don't have to work tomorrow. I hate driving in snow, and I don't like it when John has to drive in it either. Maybe it will be bad enough that he will stay home with me and stay warm and be safe. Safe and sound!:)

Saint Patrick's Day


Today is St. Patty's Day, and the kitties had to get their teeth cleaned at the vet. They're still there, and my poor Harmony is having some breathing problems. Mostly due to fear but also her anesthesia high coming down. John will pick them up after work...I'm glad they are ok, and I hope Harmony continues to be okay. Poor baby!

John and I will be going downtown later to eat at a pizzeria with a friend from his work. She and her husband do restaurant reviews around Denver, and Buenos Aires Pizzeria is being reviewed tonight by their group. Pick-eaters, John and Michele will get to give their two cents worth. Sounds like fun! Later John and I will figure out something to do in Denver on Saint Patrick's Day. We're not drinkers, so that's ruled out but I'm sure we can think of something.

KISS ME, I'M IRISH!!!!! :x

Calling All Angels


Now I'm in my two weeks of the unknown period. I always try to remain hopeful even though it has been 18 months...I'm not giving up! I might have surgery to determine if I have Endometriosis. The surgery scares me...It's major surgery but not in the sense of them cutting you open and you need several days to heal. I can go home the same day of the surgery, but it doesn't change how I feel about it. I don't like going under, and I'm afraid of the outcome. I don't want to have anything wrong with me. I would be perfectly content knowing that my infertility is unexplained, and I can do other procedures to improve my chances. I just want it to all work out to be okay.

I need a sign to let me know you’re here

All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup
When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you can feel the world shake from the words that I said

And I’m calling all angels
And I’m calling all you angels

And I won’t give up if you don’t give up
I won’t give up if you don’t give up
I won’t give up if you don’t give up
I won’t give up if you don’t give up

I need a sign to let me know you’re here
Cause my tv set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me

And I’m calling all angels
And I’m calling all you angels

When children have to play inside so they don’t disappear
While private eyes solve marriage lies cause we dont talk for years
And football teams are kissing queens and losing sight of having dreams
In a world where all we want is only what we want untill it’s ours

And I’m calling all angels
And I’m calling all you angels
And I’m calling all angels
(I won’t give up if you don’t give up)
And I’m calling all you angels
(I won’t give up if you don’t give up)
Calling all you angels
(I won’t give up if you don’t give up)
Calling all you angels
(I won’t give up if you don’t give up)
Calling all you angels

Scary Adventure


On Wednesday evening, I had a scare...I found a lump in my breast. Of course, my thoughts go to all the possible bad things that could happen. Needless to say, I didn't sleep well that night, because I was so worried. Thankfully I had my Boo Boo there to comfort me and protect me. The next day, I made an appointment for Friday morning. The doctor didn't know what it was, so she schedule me for a mammogram and an ultrasound. That scared me! The appointment was for 2:15pm. I told John about it, so he knew what was going on. As I was driving home, I got a call from John telling me he was on his way home to be there with me for my afternoon appointment. I was so happy! I didn't have to be alone for this, because my sweet Boo Boo was going to be there by my side to hold my hand. I love him so!!!!

Anyway, everything turned out to be fine...it was only a cyst! They are very common and a lot of women have them. What a relief?! John and I went to celebrate at Old Chicago for dinner. Afterwards, we broke out our new dance pads for DDR, and we danced the night away.

My day started out with the song Bad Day and ended up with I Can See Clearly Now. :)

Where is the moment we need at the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day...
Lyrics by: Daniel Powter



I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
Oh yes, I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here's the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
Real, real, real, real bright, bright sunshinin' day
Yeah, hey, it's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day
