Twice Promised


It’s strange now to think of you after all this time. A letter twice folded slipped into the back of a desk drawer. There are marks on me where the pen met the paper. A past filled with promises. The present left unattended. Where do we go from here? You kept asking. On the back porch I drink a glass of cold water making my teeth hurt. My answers are incomplete. Shelves are brimming with unread books. Where do we even start?  A question mark perched on the edge. I would apologize if I knew what you did wrong. We move, move, move to stop from thinking about each other.  Now that I've paused, flood waters. Remind me to look you up after I’ve sorted the recycling. Sitting quietly with past, I surrender.

Blue October-Bleed Out



Okay! So you know how much I LOVE Blue October.  They just came out with a new video...and I can't stop listening to this song, Bleed Out.  I admit frontman Justin Furstenfeld's voice is so compelling to me that I can't get enough of it...then with the rest of the group's voices, they create these layered harmonizing tracks that echo giving the whole piece a hollow feeling.  Love, love their sound!!  I just scored tickets to see them play live on September 14th at 7 pm at Irving Plaza. I am STOKED!!

Peace,

The Glamorous Life of Being a Temp

Tuesday morning.  It's pouring buckets and today I had an interview for a new temp gig. It's an exciting post. Can't really go into specifics except to say the interview went by quickly and they are looking to bring someone on ASAP, which works for me. My agency has been total rock stars on my behalf. Yay!!  I am buzzing at the prospect of having a grown up job for a change.

Now I am back at my desk trying to settle down enough to do some writing.  My 5-year old niece followed me to my room and she is vying for my attention. She seems to be winning this battle of wills.
She found a connect-the-dots book and is now hard at work at connecting them in pink ink.  Okay...she's won.  Time to do a little coloring before I can write.

Peace,
L~
