My Singin' Legs

What a fabulous trip it was!!! Road trips are quite underrated. With the right person, the right playlist, munchies, and conversations... a person could ride around for hours. And this road trip has become one of my favorite road trips of all time. This is my dear, darling, wonderful friend, Rick. We left Wednesday for Hot Springs for a long, luxurious spa weekend. We hopped in the car late afternoon Wednesday, armed with snacks and a killer playlist! We sang our way into Hot Springs by evening with a few random side roads for scenic pleasure. We saw wide open spaces with tons of trees, cows, corn, a diner with chocolate turtles (whatever that may be), 2 colleges, a KFC, and then historic downtown Hot Springs. We checked into our hotel, The Arlington. This was the same hotel that Al Capone stayed at with all his gangsters back in the 30's. It was like another world. We quickly unpacked and dressed for whatever the first evening held. We strolled down Central Avenue an...

Why can I not forget you? Why can't I get you out of my head? Why can't I get you out of my heart? I don't want you there. I don't want you.

I really have no idea what to write about, but I just feel the need to write something. Something. There are many mundane somethings. There are the same old somethings that I've written about already, so no need to beat a dead horse. There are no new somethings worth even mentioning. Guess I'm at a stand still in my life. How did I get here? What happened? Did I give up? Did I just stop trying? Perhaps I'm just in a funk, but I have no idea what it will take to pull me out of it. I am, however, going on a mini vacation this weekend. I am looking forward to that. A chance to get out of town and away from here. Not as an escape, but as an escape (if that makes any sense). A change of scenery, even if just a fleeting moment. A change of pace, even if it will be short lived. So... I'm still here. I'm still breathing. I'm still living. I'm still here. And so it goes.......

Dance just speaks to me.

 Yes ma'am, I am!

I'm happy. Yes, I am. Finally. I'm not of fan of broken hearts and depression. Who is? I feel like myself again. I've moved past my "woe is me" phase (Thank God) and now back to me. Starting a new project that I'm most excited about... I'm FINALLY painting my room! I'm making it my little hole away from the world where I enjoy being and feel sexy in. It's my bedroom and I feel the need to feel that way in it. I have all this gorgeous new furniture and now I need to accent it by painting. My apartment is my home and I want it to feel that way. A home. A place to come to. A place to be relaxed. A place to feel cozy and warm and peaceful. My home. I'm very excited about this! Purple is my favorite color. I can't wait till it's done. I've been spending a lot of time with friends, old and new, and I can't begin to tell you how much I've missed it. Just to grab dinner or a drink with someone and sit and tal...

She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye She would suffer, she would fight, and compromise She's been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright For answers to the questions that will haunt her tonight She must rinse this all away She can't hold him this way She must rinse this all away She can't love him this way How she'd be soothed, how she'd be saved if he could see She needs to be held in his arms to be free But everything happens for reasons that she will never understand 'til she knows the heart of a woman will never be found in the arms of a man [Chorus] And if she runs away she fears she won't be followed What could be the worse than leaving something behind And as the depth of oceans slowly become shallow It's loneliness she finds... If only he was mine She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye She would suffer, she would fight, and compromise She's been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright For ans...
