Earlier when I was driving home from the museum I noticed the car in front of me had the words ‘AT&T – Stop the Greed!’ painted on the back window. On any other given day I would have smiled and went on my way. However, today I started thinking about how opinions are expressed.

I recommend the movie ‘Frost/Nixon’. If you haven’t seen it (or read the book by Sir David Frost), definitely check it out.
Today was my first volunteer day at the public library. As a result, I learned how to use Amazon very well and picked up the ever awesome ‘Found’ book (very cool concept behind [...]
The thing about Goodbye is…

A simple truth
Unspoken -
A lifetime of regret?
Yet…
If this is how we leave it
That isn’t so bad,
is it?

My Course 3 finale cake of tears…I mean tiers…I mean..yeah…
This puppy ended up being a two day adventure consisting of three cake mixes, three batches of icing, 40 fondant roses, and 30 leaves (Did I mention I stained my hands bright red?). The top layer (in cherry chip, my favorite!) is a stack of two [...]
Explanations

You and I
had that magnetic attraction
from the very beginning -
do you remember?
From the moment after
the first hello
to the very first kiss
The tide was strong…
Overwhelming…
But somewhere along the way
We ignored the warning flags
of the undertow.
Our ship blew off course
and threw us both
into the wide open sea
searching for a safety net
to grab hold of…
The longer we searched
The [...]

“The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains,and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering past,
But [...]
The May Song
Posted in poetry on May 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Pine forests and wood smoke -
The scents drift upward
and carry in the wind.
Grasses kissed with gentle breezes
and morning dew
Tender blossoms burst from branches
alive with the secrets of spring..
Gone are the storms
of turmoils and troubles
and long days that tremble
in the heat of the sun.
Instead, hope lives on the wings
of the hummingbirds
arriving just in time
for the show [...]
Sleeping through the night…
Posted in poetry on May 18, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been noticing lately
how the silence in this room
catches me unaware…
Your absence is stronger
than your presence there -
Face against the pillow
Your scent lingering in the sheets…
I’ve been dancing with shadows
all this time
Singing songs no one else could hear
Smiling seductively at ghosts
from across the room
Drawn to old photographs of you…
I keep racing towards the window
foolish heart [...]
Weekly Writing

I have a little catching up to do, posting wise…
Some part of me wants to shake you
and ask you why you are making
such a big mistake
but I can’t justify it anymore -
it isn’t my place.
I just wish life held better answers…
Too many shadows lurking
behind closed doors
Too many dreams
escape through the cracks
and lately it seems
instead of [...]
Post Pink Slip, Week 1..

Tuesday night was my first attempt at using fondant. It didn’t turn out too badly for my first time, if I do say so myself. We also learned how to make roses using fondant, and I think the results are much better than using buttercream. At least these actually look like roses. Our instructions are [...]
