Well, I must confess that I've pretty much abandon'd my livejournal, as I made it too much of a chore (not to mention a bit too incriminating) for myself. Too many rules and regs, all mine own, and so I move into a dif't genre where I can only post in present tense & cannot, therefore, make myself retro-update to the point I no longer enjoy the site and it becomes more like work than expression. Hurray! I have outsmarted Logical Me again!!!


At this point, Brian & I are in the midst of a hectic, cramp'd maddening little duplex where we've stufft the contents of both our lives which, by now, are nearly enuf to fill a whole house. BTW - we are hoping for that house sometime next year.....

Had bit of a blow-out yesterday. Found a phone # in his pants pocket while collecting up laundry & demanded an explanation. Probly shoulda askt a little nicer, but am PMS-ing and will place the blame on that.... *stares at keyboard guiltily* Turnd out 2 B his brother's gf. Wish he'da just said that, but I figure the accusatory attitude I came at him with probly didn't help.

Other than that, things are getting better for us, at least emotionally. Don't even get me started on having no money, no food, and yet another blown up car. I swear I am vehicularly cursed! Must remember to look up auto protection spells......

Have you heard the new song on the radio "Raise Me Up"? It's by Josh Groban. I know, you're saying "Who?" But you'll know soon enough. At first dial flip you might pass over the song, thinking it's Christian music or something equally as boring, but if you take the time to listen, you're drawn in by the swelling stringplay and the depth of emotion in the voacls. This man has an amazing vocal ability.

It seems he is the new "It-boy" on the music scene, & I, personally, am happy to have him. Don't mistake me - I love my boybands, my bubblegum pop, my hip-hop, and all that Top 40 musical goop clogging the radio stations lately, but it's great to hear something different once in a while. I'm all over John Mayer & Norah Jones. I just wish the rest of the listeners could open their blessed ears and make a little room on the charts for some of this real talent. These types of singers with new, individual, non-prepackaged pop trash music are a welcome change and I hope some of them hold steady without drowning in the sugar fructose pool of pop music.
