Lovin' some Robert

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood,

and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Looking for something adorable?....

One of these days I will post a pic of Little in some of the dresses she made...they are stupid cute!

Reality TAG! . .Bethany ROcKs!

**** Pure woman of genius. . . ***

. . .just wanted to give Bethany a shout out for keeping it real amongst all the sugar coated picture perfectness. Thanks for a reminder of our humanity!!


Here is my bedroom right now:

Authors note: This little exercise in keeping it real actually helped me hang up approximately 30 items that were strewn across surfaces. . .didn't want to wholeheartedly fix the problem, but made a small dent nonetheless.
Also...this self awareness will never make a lateral move into me posting really fugly pics of myself (funny, yes...really truly frickin ugly, no!). Cellulite and other body abnormalities (real or imagined)... are still not what I want to be known for on the www and beyond.

Goodbye Amanda!

My dear dear friend is going . . .goodbye. . .

but no time here for us to cry. . .

for she has 'ventures yet to come . . .

and visitors from where she's from. . .

To forge a path and find a way . . .

and live and love and laugh and play. . .

there's goodness now and will be found . . .

no doubt she'll see . . . it will abound . . .

My friend is going. . .but not forgot. . .

we'll miss her here. . . but all for naught. . .

More friends and fun will come her way. . .

but that won't lessen missing her today.

Some pics of the coolest gals in Laveen bouncing Amanda off to Sac Town! . . .
