I've been living on Facebook...

...which doesn't go down. :)

*knock on wood*



AAaaaanyways..... "YAY!"

here!

Flight was uneventful, as most good flights are.

Back is VERY tweaked and sore, tho. I'm tellin' ya, the tablet form of gabapentin does NOT work REMOTELY as well for me as the capsules. :(

Bed might be too soft. :) Stupid memory foam!


I am tired, and it's not even late for y'all. Hell, it's not even eight here!

I'm on my way

The car is mostly packed.
I'm stopping at the Chiropractor,
Then off to lunch.
From lunch, SmarteCartes and smuggling.
Then, liftoff.
With any luck, there will be three of us on the flight...

If you don't hear from me before Saturday, don't panic.

I will try to check in tomorrow.

Much love.

(yeah, it's a Dennis DeYoung kinda night...)

I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board, i'm the captain, so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And i'll try, oh lord, i'll try to carry on

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

Babe, I'm leaving...

...i must be on my way
The time is drawing near
My train is going, i see it in your eyes
The love, the need, your tears
But i'll be lonely without you
And i'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
And i'll be missing you.

You know it's you babe
Whenever i get weary and i've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you babe
Giving me the courage and the strength i need
Please believe that it's true
Babe, i love you.

You know it's you babe
Whenever i get weary and i've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you babe
Giving me the courage and the strength i need
Please believe that it's true
Babe, i love you.

Babe, i'm leaving, i'll say it once again
Somehow try to smile
I know the feeling we're trying to forget
If only for a while
But i'll be lonely without you
And i'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
And i'll be missing you
Babe, i love you.

hey IE peeps...

I don't think Monday is in the cards... :-(

Admit it...
