Hairspray

This past weekend my husband and I went with our kiddos to West Virginia, where my hubby is from. We stayed at a hotel there and spent a good bit of the time visiting his family and trying desperately to get three boys to behave. At the end of one long day I came back to the room and got ready for a shower. I took my hair out of it's ponytail (thank you Lord, for your bountiful scrunchies) and my hair fell into this perfect hairstyle that normally takes a long time, lots of spray, and a curling iron or three to achieve. I had on no makeup but had to snap a pic of my 'perfect hair' because looking back later I'd never have believed it :) What a stupid thing to need proof of, but hey, I'm female and as vain as any other!

The weekend went fairly well. I was enjoying our new Toyota Avalon. I'd just picked it up at 8pm the night before and drove it up there. What a NICE car! Sortof a champagne color, sun roof, power everything. I just love it. Don does too. He should, it was his father's day present :) I'll post pics of it too soon.

Lost Souls

This is a story I have running through my head. I'll write it all eventually, but for now this is just a bit I wrote this morning because it wouldn't go away.

I remember you from a dream I had in another life
I know that if you kiss me now I'll burst into life
again
The way I did under the oak trees by the cemetary
When we loved before
I remember you, dying for us
Reaching to catch the falling angel from the sky
And I remember me, dying for you
My soul breaking and flying out when you fell
I pass the house where we lived and loved
and I see the window, still broken
a hundred years ago
And even now I feel my own death inside
Knowing that you look at me now
Without the memory of our lives passed
The anguish of the dream that never happened
And I know that if you kiss me now
Our souls will twine again
