Sugar Walls by Sheena Easton

For some strange reason, this song has been in my head for about a week now. And with me having a cold, I think the lyrics got a little fuzzy! I had posted this before but it's stuck in my head again enough for me post it a 2nd time, this one with lyrics.




Artist: Sheena Easton

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Adult Contemporary

My sugar walls
My sugar walls

Where I come from there's a place called Heaven
That's the place where all the good children go
The houses are of silver, the streets of gold
But there's more where you come from my sugar walls

My sugar walls
My sugar walls

Blood races to your private spots
Let me know there's a fire
You can't fight passion when passion is hot
Temperatures rise inside my sugar walls

Let me take you somewhere, you've never been
I could show you things you've never seen
Well, I could make you never wanna fall in love again
Come spend the night inside my sugar walls

Take advantage
It's alright

I feel so alive when I'm with you
Come and feel my presence
It's reigning tonight
Heaven on Earth inside my sugar walls

Let me take you somewhere, you've never been
Well, I could show you things you've never seen
Well, I could make you never wanna fall in love again
Come spend the night inside my sugar walls

I can tell you want me
It's impossible to hide
Your body's on fire
Admit it come inside

My sugar walls
My sugar walls
Come inside
My sugar walls
My sugar walls

My sugar walls
Come spend the night inside
My sugar walls

My sugar walls
My sugar walls

All of Me by John Legend

Heard this on the radio this morning and really liked it :)



"All Of Me"

[Verse 1:]
What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

[Bridge:]
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

[Verse 2:]
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you

[Bridge:]
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

The Painted Kitty

So

Funny story

As I was painting the wall a teal color, I had my painting pan (full of paint ) on the top of my ladder. ..because you know, it's sorta built for that. Now, my kitten Daisy was watching me paint, no big deal, right ? Ha. She was getting ready to pounce !

As I turn to get more paint I see 2 paws land in the paint ! I attempt to catch her but she runs out, now with blue teal paws. My first thought was to catch her because I don't want her to lick the paint. My 2nd thought was that I was glad I had the cleaning supplies upstairs with me. And my 3rd thought ?? I couldn't stop giggling over the whole thing ! Because, of course, the cat would jump into the paint !! I am still grinning over that !

I follow the paw prints and see she goes to my son's room and back out again. I shut the office door and my bathroom door, because I see that she has headed into my bathroom or bedroom. I didn't see her in my bedroom (and there were it a few paw prints in there ) and find her in the bathroom. Ha, got her now ! I shut the other bathroom door and pick up the semi blue kitten, turn on the facet and then attempt to wash the kittens paws and now tummy.

She did not like that. At all.

I now have several scratch and puncture marks.

I dry her off a little bit and leave in her in there as I start the cleaning process. 4th thought, well it looks like I will be replacing the carpet before I ever sell this place (insert more giggles )

After I get up as much as the blue paw prints as I can, I go check on Daisy. Ahem, it seems she was slightly traumatized. I hold her and pet her and brush her for the next 45 minutes. By evening she was back to normal.

At this point, I need a beer. So, I finish painting while drinking a Kilians and keeping an eye out for the cats.

The room is done (see the remaining pics I took yesterday) I'm slightly sore and tired. Painting around the trim, top and bottom, was the most exhaustive parts. That and making sure I painted over the dark paint swatches and previously painted on flowers (STICKERS PEOPLE !!!)

I have quite a bit of left over paint. Of course, not the colors I want in my bedroom as fickle luck would have it.

Much Much happier with the office now though ! No more little girl pink !! Its now a Pale Honey with a teal accent wall. I will take more pics once everything is back in place :)

Painting again

This time, it's the office. Before it was a little girls room, and it was a light pink and had some flowers painted on one wall.

Suffice it to say I'm much happier with the new colors !!

Planning the Garden - Plotting

Ahem, as in planning things out!

I have some seeds. I am doing going to be all crazy and try to plant a big ass garden the 1st time around. I have like 5 things I want to grow in the backyard and in the front....well I am still working on that.

This would be useful I think :) I plan to get something like it. Later on though.


Oh and Composting! So that I have all the good stuff going to making soil/fertilizer for my veggies. This I would like to get now...


And this would be a big part of composting :)


And something to help out with the garden will be these lovelies (to be ordered or bought later on!)
because I also bought this:    

The Sunflowers will be along the side of the house, where I've been whacking out the previous bushes...

Oh and since the family that owned the house before me had this huge trampoline, there is a bald spot in the yard (on 1 side) and since I prefer the softer clover to grass, I've ordered this Mini Clover. I will be planting it in the back and front yards, in those spots that aren't going to be used for the veggie patches.


Here is a neat idea though...These are grow pots, so that if you don't have a huge backyard like me, you can use these. I still might try them out and see if I can grow stuff on the front porch or something with them...
or

Encased in ice

This is what it looked like :)

A quick note...

I haven't been writing, mainly because I really need to put together a post about Puck. It's so hard writing that though that I am doing it in bits and pieces.

So, trying to focus on other things, I've decided to focus on those things that revolve around living things and growing things and things that don't make me cry.

So. Hmmm.

I am planting a garden this spring. I have some (organic, non-GMO) seeds already bought (and really not expensive at all). I am researching soils/organic fertilizers, how to compost (if I do that this year), how to save the seeds of the things I hope to produce for next year, how to turn my front porch into a herb heaven

Other things going on:
I am contemplating buying a pasta maker. Of course, it will probably be a year away from when I actually do, since I have too much stuff to get done first.

And you know what? I don't want to write because I don't want my Ex to read something I wrote/thought/whatever. I know that might sound bad, but honestly, I don't want him privy to my thoughts because I don't want him to derive some other thing out of it.

Ugh.

Not quite sure what to do or how much to care about it.

I think I need a moment.

Another moment

So I'm having a hard time Not thinking about Puck and ...and I seem to always have to do things on my own. Which isn't a bad thing, it's just really hard. Really really hard.

This is that type of moment that you just need someone to hold you while you cry, because this sucks.

This is not an easy thing to do. I know in my heart it's the right thing for Puck. And my son, he has known since the vet told us that his kidneys were starting to go. (And yes I had to go the the vet the alone for the diagnosis) and its not a surprise but my heart breaks every time I look at him. To be perfectly honest, he's one of my favorites out of the cats. He is so sweet, and playful and sweet and has such character. Stupid kidneys failing sucks.

So, yeah the kid knows and its hard but he's dealing (aka more Minecraft ) and I haven't to ever really put an animal down before. Shit, we lost the cats before to the fire and before that, well  my parents took care of that. And this just sucks.

Ugh

And sometimes, well sometimes, I really hate being alone.

Poor Puck :_(

Little Bits

I just feel like writing. Something. I should be doing other things, but honestly, my brain is just not there at the moment.

So in this lovely streaming of my thought process I've got:

Work, busy but not busy and normal which is good.
My kid, worried about him in general. Hormones and growing up is a hard thing.
My cat Puck, who is going to be put to sleep soon because his kidneys are starting to fail and it's just getting worse and I can't watch my cat slowly die :_(
This scarf I am making, I am going to start over (not unusual for me) because I want to use a different gauge needle.
I wake up with 3 cats sleeping around me most nights/days. Sometimes all 4. I wonder how the other cats will react when they realize Puck isn't coming home :_(
I have to do the dishes and really don't feel like it. They can wait a day.
I'm thirsty but have Diego on my side sleeping and Tiamet sleeping between my legs.
I want to kiss someone I love.
This winter can finish up now and move onto Spring.
I need a hug.
I dyed my hair last night and it looks pretty good! Still debating cutting it and how short. It's still pretty cold out...
I have laundry to fold soon...this is going to get tricky.
My weight is annoying me. I need to get cracking on it. My goal is to get to 200 lbs and then go another 10 lbs and so on and so forth. Stupid 15 lbs is annoying me. I probably should not have had that chinese food tonight. But I burned a lot of calories shoveling snow today!! I hope!!
I bathed my cat Diego the other day. I don't think he was too happy about it for once and neither was I. A fat 20 lbs wet cat and I had a conversation. I won. Alpha Female all the way bitches. He still loves me though. Diego is pretty awesome that way.
My heart sings - because it hears your music

Ok, I'm tapped out for the moment. Time to shift the cats, fold the clothes and head to bed. Maybe.

Good message, if anything

An old Cherokee told his grandson, "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy and truth."

The boy thought about it, and asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?"

The old man quietly replied, "the one you feed"

- Author Unknown

I really needed to read this tonight.  I've always loved this message and analogy.

I know which one I choose to feed. Sometimes we just need a reminder...

Seriously ?

Ok, so...I walk to my car this morning be cause I had a wax appointment. I open my door, get in and hear something. Then I notice it's kinda cold and sounded like a window was open. So I look behind me and what do a see? A hole in my rear window.

Ummm, what the fuck?

I don't see any foot prints (it had snowed early that morning or late the previous night). So I had ASSUMED it was the cold. Somehow. I mean, granted it wasn't super freaky cold the other night, not like last week. 

So I look at the window more and the whole thing is just shattered. Shattered.

I call Safelite and the earliest it can get fixed is Thursday. But I took to them so that I can at least get plastic up. At the place, the guy points out that SOME FUCKING ASSHOLE threw a rock at my window.

Here's another one showing the damage to the back door.

Now, granted it could have been a rock kicked up by someone driving by. Maybe. However, I have a feeling that MIGHT not be the case.

Whatever

So fuck you you mother fucking asshole who threw a rock at my car. I hope you fucking get what's coming to you.

Chicken Soup part 2

So, here is what the end product looks like.

I added in some salt, pepper and seasonings. Not quite sure if I added in enough or good ones though ! I will actually eat some tonight I hope ! 1st time making it, not expecting much :)

I will say that at least the chicken itself was yummy !!
