January 24, 2019- Happy New year folks! Last year was some year and im glad its gone. LOL. This year feels so different and energetic. How about you? Get your slkates and come skate with me any time. Love you guys. MUA!
November 2018- teaching is still fun for me. many adults really getting on the bandwagon and learning to skate! Wear your helmets, Please!
Sept 2017- Rainy months has kept us from skating. Hurricane headed our way this month. This will pass. We will have some nice cool weather, yeee!
Jan 1, 2017 HAPPY NEW YEAR!
have had many new students that received skates for Christmas. Hola fitness!
11.20.2016 I love my boots and I skate so well on them!
11. 2016 I GOT MY CUSTOM MOLDED SIMMONS BOOT! SO cute!!!
7.16.2016 Do not say to yourself, I can't do it! Life gets hard sometimes but you must move on press on and tell depression you dont have the time! bye bye
Hi. I have been a good year so far. We have new skaters joined our Speed Team. We have another race coming this weekend in Tallahassee, fl. See you there!
It has been a busy year! Coaching more, skating more and now with the holidays time just flies.
Nationals was fun. I took 2 second place The ten lap race was hard because I ran out of gas! I was initially upset with myself but then I realized I just have to train harder this year. More food, good food! LOL
6/25/2014- I had been training hard so I took time off (7 days) to recoup. Now I feel better and I'm back to training. Two weeks to go to Nebraska Nationals! Wish me luck n fun.
I have a new frame that flexes better and feels right for my weight. As for the boot I am wearing a Thorlo thick sock so it will take up space on the boot as its not snug. Feels part of my foot now and can push better.
5/2014-I placed at 1st Regionals. I am off to Nationals July 12th! Training hard now.
Hi All. I have been busy this season. Its 2014 and we are gearing for THE qualifier Regionals which determines who goes to Nationals. Regionals is May 17-18.
Nationals is set to be in Lincoln Nebraska in July. We anticipate we will have 8 people placing and going.
Our second meet is Sunday Dec 1st in Vero Beach Lets go Astro Team!
October's meet was great and many brought home a medal and it was their first meet!
I molded my boot and it fits better. Since I have a small foot I ordered a kids size boot. This year I have been coaching our team more while the head coach travels. It is very satisfying to help someone improve their skill set. Our team is mostly kids and they love speed skating. Some are very young,(6 years old), and still do not understand why we do certain drills but with each passing day they they are grasping it. Our first meet is October and we are ready! I am pumped and much more at easy than last year, since I have improved quite a bit. I plan to challenge up so I can chase and improve more.
I got my frame and I like it. Its light and shorter than the one I was using. It flexes enough for me. It may seem as a small thing but you must get a frame good for your body type. I am 5'2″ and not heavy (125) so a stiff frame does not work for me. I was able to push better and stay in control. It increased my speed too. New faster wheels will help me help increase the speed.
I have not molded my boot yet. Waiting to get the kinks out, and its working well. My Luigino boot was not expensive but works. I did replace one lace for two on each boot. That way I control the top and bottom lacing tension so my feet do not fall asleep.
Hi friends. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Inline Speed Skating should already be in the Olympics and I don't get why they are dragging their feet on this, but it will happen soon, in my time, so I can see people I know competing. What an honor! Heck just last week one of our USA gals won 1st place at World Games in Cali, Colombia, and to top it, she lapped the whole pack.
I went to the Inline Speed Skating Championship in July 2013 and I placed second in all my races, giving me an overall 2nd placement. I am proud of this as my goal was to get on the podium. It was fun and gratifying. I know I need to perfect my technique to get close to 1st place next year. I have figured out what I need to do to skate better. I am excited this year because I have a goal to get my technique improved. I bought a boot last week after 13 years using the same one. I had a molded Bont and this year I have a Luigino non molded. I can mold it myself if I want to according to their new method, but at this time I am okay. I have to get a new frame as my old one is just for 3 point Bont boots. My old boot now becomes an outdoor boot.
On a separate note I just talked to one of the county park Commissioners about those yellow indicator pads on our trail. They are required by law by the Americans with Disabilities Act. My request to him was twofold. One is that they are raising up and can cause anyone to trip as they are plastic, not built in. The second was that they can do half the intersection for us skaters without them. I said someone can sue the city for such negligence. Also I reminded him that we will be an Olympic sport and that our city will be a great venue. We have attracted other major sports here. Has anyone ever encountered this problem in your city? Or do they have a different way to comply? Let me know.
They say I am a very good inline skate teacher. thank you peeps!

Oliver: Nine and Ten Months
3 May
Combined post because the past two months have been such a blur! At nine and ten months, Oliver…
:: Has this really fun position that he likes where he's up on one knee with the other leg diagonally to his side. Very yoga-like and very cute.
:: Loves paper. Oranges. Hot Cross buns.
:: Likes to gouge my face with his sharp, tiny fingernails. Or pull my hair, if he's lying next to me for a nap and can't fall asleep.
:: Still super fascinated by Charlie.
:: Has been a super velcro baby lately, not wanting me to put him down or leave the room. I blame teeth.
:: Is starting to enjoy being "dipped" upside down for a moment, but still doesn't like too much motion (like being thrown up in the air).
:: Visited Rome and was fawned over by every Italian woman over the age of 50. "Dulci!" they would exclaim.
:: Speed crawls. To the point that sometimes he'll faceplant because his legs get ahead of his hands.
:: Cruises all over the place. He's starting to bridge some of the gaps at wider and wider distances by barely even touching the furniture.
:: Babbles like crazy, with new sounds showing up constantly.
:: Likes riding in the ergo on my back like a koala bear.
:: Has two top teeth and two bottom teeth, with more threatening to break through at any moment.
:: Growls. Not at anything consistent, but it cracks me up.
:: Has a super cackly-laugh/giggle that I wish I could bottle up.

It's probably easiest to define a micropolis by what it isn't -- namely, a metropolis, which typically comprises a dense "core" city of more than 50,000 people surrounded by a large cluster of suburbs and exurbs. Since 1950, the United States Census Bureau has divided the country into broad swaths of metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. According to the census, you were either in a metro area or you weren't. Any middle ground between big-city living and remote rural living went unrecognized.
That's no longer the case. This is the first full year the federal government has gathered data on 573 regions sprinkled around the country known as micropolitan areas: locales with a core city of fewer than 50,000 (as small as 10,000). In the South, that means Mount Airy, N.C., the model for Mayberry in "The Andy Griffith Show"; in the Midwest, Ashtabula, Ohio; in the West, Heber, Utah; and in the East, Corning, N.Y. There's no typical micropolis -- Dodge City, Kan., and Bennington, Vt., present extreme variations within the category. Still, micro cities are generally more countrified than metro cities. Hub airports are usually very far away; so is good sushi. In addition, the suburbs of micropolitan cities often resemble the low-density exurbs at the fringe of many metro areas. Houses sit on large lots. Big-box retailers serve as commercial centers.
The point of the micropolitan category is not so much to give government agencies extra data to crunch. It's to track the growth -- as well as the character -- of a type of influential urban area that already exists but is barely understood by demographers. In this regard, the census is far behind the business community, which has been tapping far-flung small-city America for at least two decades. Wal-Mart and Applebee's, in fact, have built vast empires from the legions who live there. So has the national Republican Party. Strictly speaking, the re-election of George W. Bush may have been less attributable to the so-called rural vote (which can still lie well outside micro or metro areas) than to the micropolitan vote. According to Robert Lang at Virginia Tech, in the newly defined micropolitan areas in the United States, Bush won 60.6 percent of the vote to Kerry's 39.2 percent. And in Ohio, 27 of the 29 micropolitan areas voted red -- a difference that by itself accounts for Bush's victory margin. JON GERTNERContinue reading the main story

I would add: - the X message stuff would be sent to the client window to be moved, not the root window as in startup-notification (probably obvious, but good to clarify) - Perhaps more explicitly separate screen change from display change; I don't think apps can reliably determine from a display name string like ":0.1" that it's another screen on the same display they're currently using. Maybe I'm wrong. - Maybe there should be a protocol that asks the entire application (i.e. all windows with the same group leader) to change screens/displays. Yes the WM could just move every window that shares a group leader individually, but it might be more efficient or just nicer if the app did it. This protocol could simply be "send the screen change message to the group leader" perhaps. > If this sounds reasonable to people, I can write up a more comprehensive > description of the spec.

Global Education Interact (GEI) is more than an Education Fair. It is an event where Universities and Education Institutions from many countries come to meet specifically with pre-qualified and serious student applicants to their courses, Institution, and country. The major thrust is to meet students interested in gaining admission into the current or latest up-coming intakes though in some circumstances University delegates will talk to students for the following year's intakes.
The GEI is an Exhibition with a difference. The term GEI was coined by "The Chopras". It defines the nature of the event and is copyrighted as a Brand.
The choice menu available to Indian students today is huge. Universities and Institutions from all over the world are actively seeking Indian students; including from the U.S.A., U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, Switzerland, Italy, Europe, Malaysia, and others.
It is well known that most Indian students and parents are seldom focused on one single country as their choice. Besides there are always visa issues; so for instance if a visa for a country is refused, they look at creating fall back options to other Countries and Universities or Institutions.
Up until now, students and parents have had to visit many single country Education Fairs such as those held by U.K., Australia, New Zealand, U.S.A, Ireland, and other countries. Each has dozens of Universities who set up stalls; each of them have a good story to tell and lots of options to woo students; but almost always, due to the crowds, none have the time to have detailed conversations with students to assess the best options for them given their goals, Career Plans, academic or financial constraints, if any, and so on.
The Global Education Interact changes all that; and in the time honored tradition of "The Chopras"; benchmarked how Education Fairs should be run from the very first one held in May-June 2008.
At the GEI, students and parents, get the opportunity to meet with Institutions from different countries that form their "choice matrix"; all under one roof.
GEI students have either met with highly trained "The Chopras" Counselors at their offices and have had detailed discussion on the suitability of which Country, Course, Institution etc.; and have completed applications for the Institutions of their choice or; if they are coming for the first time at the GEI venue, they are met by the same Counselors, have detailed discussions, clarify their issues, complete their application forms, and then meet with the Admissions teams of the Institutions of their choice.
This ensures that neither the student nor the Institution's delegates are wasting their time; and the job gets done; at "The Chopras" the job always gets done!
The GEI is an exciting event where lots of seminars are held on all possible matters related to the exercise of planning and executing your further education within a Global framework. The choices are immense, the opportunities abound, but each student and his goals, ambitions, academic achievement, financial parameters are different. This merits serious thinking in a lateral framework.

Posted by on January 31, 2012 in Blog
By Jeffrey Wright
2012 Spring Intern
The United States Military Academy at West Point announced today that an Islamophobic retired general has withdrawn from his planned role as the speaker at West Point's ceremony marking the National Prayer Breakfast, scheduled for February 8. Lt. Gen. (ret.) William Boykin, a 36-year veteran of the U.S. Army, has a history of inflammatory and anti-Muslim rhetoric, including calling Islam "a totalitarian way of life." When news of Lt. Gen. Boykin's scheduled speech surfaced, VoteVets.org, a group of liberal military veterans, called for the invitation to be rescinded, saying that Lt. Gen. Boykin's history of statements about Islam "...go against Army values, counter-insurgency strategy, and disrespect the service of the thousands of Muslim-Americans who have served in uniform." West Point initially defended the decision to ask Lt. Gen. Boykin to speak, saying through a spokeswoman last Thursday that they remained confident that Boykin's speech would be valuable for cadets. By Monday, however, VoteVets.org was joined by other organizations, like the Council on American Islamic Relations and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, in calling for the cancellation of Lt. Gen. Boykin's speech. Later that day, West Point officially cancelled Boykin's speech.
This is not the first controversy sparked by Lt. Gen. Boykin and his views on Islam. While serving as a high-ranking intelligence officer in 2004, Boykin made remarks at several church gatherings calling Islam a idolatrous religion and likening the Global War on Terror to a spiritual battle against evil. Boykin made the remarks in his Army uniform, and was censured by the Pentagon for making no effort to distinguish between his personal views and those of the U.S. military. Since retiring from the U.S. Army in 2007, Boykin has made a career as a speaker to far-right groups. He was a co-author of "Shariah: A Threat to America," an inflammatory report produced by the neoconservative Center for Security Policy. A man with such a long history of Islamophobia should never have been asked to make such a speech, but West Point should be commended for correcting its error.

I'd not cried for her - or for me. I can remind myself constantly 'shes gone' 'the phone ringing will never be her' 'you cant hug her' 'you cant talk to her' ... on and on, and nothing. zilch. I'm just not a crier. I hold it in, deal with it.
Last night, hubby mentioned a promice he'd made to her.
My heart broke. I sobbed. My mouth wide open like a baby. Face all red and sweaty. Nosed plugged up and I gulped and sobbed some more. Even now, I'm crying just thinking about it.
She's gone. :(

Easy Guide When Looking for Online Counselors
Finding a reliable online counselor that has both the experience and the expertise can be quite challenging. If you search the web, you will find out that there is a sheer number of online counselors available today. However, not every one of these online counselors can help you with your problems. Different online counselors have different specialization. If you are having problems with your partner or your spouse, then choose an online marriage counselor or an online relationship counselor. For you to find the best online counselor, it is a good idea that you shop around the web first write down the top five counselors that you'll find. After writing down the top five online counselors, the next thing that you need to do is to compare different online counselors.
It is necessary that you get to compare the experiences, knowledge, and expertise of different online counselors. The advantage of comparing different online counselors is that you will be able to distinguish which one is the most reliable and which one is a disappointment. When looking for an online counselor, it is very important that you choose the one that has at least five years of providing therapy and
online counseling
to countless of individuals already. It is necessary that the online counselor has handled a lot of cases already and is truly a master when it comes to making someone feel better and make right decisions.
The best and the most reliable online counselors out there should be able to present to you their license. Don't just hire any online counselors that you will find on the Internet - you need to find the one that is fully licensed. If the online counselor cannot show you any license or certificate, then it is best that you start looking for another online counselor. It is also necessary that you check whether or not the online counselor or therapist has undergone proper training.
Another thing that you need to consider when choosing an online counselor is the price or the cost of service. Always take note that just because the services of the online counselor or therapist is expensive doesn't mean that it is already the best. Conduct a thorough research and ask for some advice from people you know who have trusted an outstanding online counselor before. Try to check whether or not the previous clients of the online counselor is happy and were satisfied with the therapy or
online relationship counseling

10 small ways to make your life better in 2012/
Sometimes we can fall into the trap of setting our new years resolutions too large, or too vague. There are many people who rise to a big challenge, but for some, they can just seem too far away, and then too hard to reach. All you may be left with is a sense of failure.....again.
Here are my ideas for 10 small ways that you can make your life better, and I hope that you may chose one or two (or ten) as achievable for you in 2012.
1. Dress like it matters. This can be small things like wearing jeans less, or wearing more smart than casual. It may be about giving your hair a 'style' or wearing lipstick.
2. Read more. Perhaps set a specific title you want to read, or a goal of one book a month/week/year.
3. Watch less. You could do one evening a week with no television, or even one week....or a month?
4. Realise what the small stuff is, and stop getting so stressed out about it. Catch yourself doing it, and distract yourself from it. Its pointless.
5. Learn to be alone. Perhaps you need to challenge yourself to go to the cinema alone? A pub? A restaurant? A holiday? Or even just an evening alone, with no television.
6. Say yes more.
7. Stop being mean to yourself. You wouldn't call your best friend fat or ugly, so don't allow your own thoughts to say these unkind words either.
8. Forgive more. Holding onto anger, bitterness or regret only causes you pain. Try and believe that most people want to be good, but just may make bad choices sometimes.
9. Don't wait until people die to say all of the nice things to them. Try and say some of it now, while they are here to listen.
10. Seek more fun. What makes you laugh? Try and do it more.
What small things do you want to try and adopt in your life in 2012?

A Letter from Teri Luck McDuffey
My younger sister, Jo Markham, became the original artist for Lucky. Capturing the true nature of our little hero through her early memories of Brandon. My brother Stephen Luck, has always believed in the project and lent us a hand in editing our sing-a-long books. Stephen's son, Jace, gave us his voice as an echo singer in a number of the songs. My older sister, Gay Stapleton, is a Montessori Music teacher herself, and has helped us capture the clear, precise sound needed for young ears. Gay has also used the music in many educational workshops, creating aninspiring example of our projects ultimate
Lucky Learning Tunes About Us
The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences
-Maria Montessori
As a life long composer of songs, my interest in writing children's music flourished after becoming a Montessori teacher. The children's joy for learning inspired me to put simple, educational concepts to music. This music has been used to enhance the curriculum in many classrooms; to introduce lessons, sing while working, or just to celebrate what was learned. School musical programs and children's audio recording projects have been parent favorites throughout the years. It has been my dream for the past 30 years to bring this music to you. With the help of my family, we have finally made that possible.
 goal. My mother, Ouida has always been a great supporter of my music and has been giving her love to each of us as we do our part. My granddaughter, Kalli, helps everyone remember that everything we do is all for the children.

My husband, Mack, was there when the bulk of the music was being created years ago. Mack is now the co-founder and administrator for Lucky Learning Tunes LLC. My children Erin, Kelsie, and Brandon, are now grown and have combined their talents to bring this product to the world. The littlest one, Brandon, created the star of our project Lucky, when he was only 4 years old. Today, Brandon has become the creative designer behind the overall style of the project. My daughter, Kelsie, was always there to manage missions and create priorities. Naturally, Kelsie became the creative and business coordinator for the company. My older son Erin, was usually doing his own thing, but was always inspiring the little ones to go for it! Erin found his role in both creative design and business coordination.
This has truly been a family effort and adventure! Though I have used these songs for many years, it is because of the time, dedication, and support of my family and friends that we are finally able to bring Lucky Learning Tunes to you.

Many Christians today believe that God created evolution and used it in His creation process. This is an unfounded and unbiblical belief, however. God said in Genesis 1:27 that He created man; apes did not evolve into man. Also, God said in Genesis 1:27 that man was created in His image. Apes, however, were not created in the image of God. Genesis 2:7 also says that God made Adam from dust and formed him. Also, why would God use evolution for creation if He could do it Himself with His power? Since there is no evidence or passages in the Bible which support it, this idea is not conceivable based off of scripture.

The numbing waters of the Atlantic Ocean are the remedy in these stills by filmmaker, photographer, surfer Tao Farren-Hefer. Growing up on Cape Town's beaches, it was on a sunrise session of his own that he first noticed a group of old women hitting the wild waves with even wilder abandon. He came to realise their icy escapades are a daily ritual; their boogie boards and swimming caps a regular addition to the usual domain of wet-suited surfers and toothy fish. "I just couldn'Äôt understand how they were leaving the water so ecstatic after what most people would consider torture," he told us.¬†Wanting to find out more, he joined the group to document their dawn swims over a few weeks for this series of photographs and a short film by the same name, The Sunrise Swimmers.
"I discovered that they were a dynamic group of incredibly positive people who, in their retirement, are now rediscovering their youth and happiness through the sea.
"Incredibly, regardless of the weather, they do not miss a day. They are known to swim in rain, hail and the Cape'Äôs gale-force South Easter, only skipping a day when their lives are endangered by lightning storms."
"As someone who loves the ocean myself, I knew I had to share their message when they told me that the reason for this routine even when faced by the obstacles of their fragile bodies, an extremely high shark activity area, and the Cape weather conditions, is their infinite love and longing for the ocean."

The cries of cheers once again herald the arrival of Anacortes Bier on the Pier! A two-day extravaganza of bier, ciders, food and music! Bring your thirst, and leave room to enjoy the smorgasbord of all the tasty foods on the pier. Come spend the weekend in beautiful Anacortes – enter the event beginning Friday evening from 5pm-9pm, and return on Saturday 12pm-6pm to finish the tour they embarked upon the night before.
The event will be held at the Historic Port Warehouse located at 1st & Commercial, in downtown Anacortes allowing for spectacular views overlooking the Guemes Channel and Mount Baker. Set amidst the funky warehouse charm of Anacortes' historic port building will be no fewer than 30 Pacific Northwest breweries, as well as 10 cideries, sharing their finest as guests work their way through the six tasting tickets that come with each day's pass.
"This year, festival attendees will get to discover new breweries that they might not have heard of," says Kevin Pierce, the former head brewer at Anacortes Brewery. "A lot of these brewers have a long history of loving to brew, and it shows in the beers that they craft." Products from most breweries, Kevin notes, are distributed in the area, but some self-distributors see the festival as a valuable chance to impress tasters and expand their customer base.
When it's time to take a break and clear your palate, head out onto the pier for delicious food, to talk shop with fellow aficionados, debate your vote in the People's Choice competition, or stomp and swing to live tunes.
And when Bier on the Pier festival doors close, the night will still be young – and Anacortes wide awake, with great restaurants, wine bars and music venues ready to keep your party spirit rolling. Make sure to shop by the Rockfish Grill or H2O for a meal before and after the festival – Saturday morning is a Brewer's Brunch at H2O with a special beer-based menu that goes on Sunday as well. You might be able to snag a chat with one of the brewers beforehand. Too tired to drive home? Not to worry, there's local lodging for every budget and endless things to do the next day.

At a recent birth I was greatly encouraged and impressed by the beautiful work done by a Certified Nurse Midwife at one of our local hospitals. My client's midwife was in tune with the birthing mother and allowed the mother to do what she needed to do, without asking her to have medical intervention. The mother arrived at the hospital, unknowingly nearly complete in dilation, did not want to be checked for dilation, and thus was not checked until she felt it was time to push, just minutes before the birth. The baby was nearly born into it's mother's arms with the mother able to squat while birthing. The baby was not separated from it's parents arms until it was absolutely necessary for him to regain his temperature. The mother always reported feeling greatly cared for by the group of CNM's she was being seen by. They would hug her when she came in for appointments and encourage her in her up and coming motherhood. This level of care is affirmed by the Midwives Model of Care statement.
The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes.
The Midwives Model of Care includes:
- Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle
- Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support
- Minimizing technological interventions
- Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention
The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.

Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church - Outreach - Blogs - TEEZing Out The Roots
"A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. The spirit of the LORD shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. His delight shall be in the fear of the LORD. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide by what his ears hear; but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his loins. The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze, their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put its hand on the adder's den. They will not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea."—11:1-9
I strongly believe that this is one of those passages that should not be demystified. We should not read it as symbolic. We should not read it as allegorical. We should not get caught up in trying to decode the timing of it according to linear chronology. We should not scientifically analyze the possibilities of the ecosystems presented. We should not try to overlay the story of our Messiah on top of it and force the landscapes therein to perfectly match each other.
Instead, we should accept it as a piece of beautiful truth. We should accept it as possibility. We should accept it as that which was at the beginning, that which we can have now, and that which is to come—cyclical time and cyclical truth. We should accept that there are multiple meanings within this truth and multiple manifestations of its power. We should accept that our minds cannot fully comprehend the realities that exist within God's vision.
We must decide what we believe about who is represented and the characteristics which define that entity. We must realize that those characteristics should be what we strive for in our own existence. We must seek the spirit of the LORD, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and fear of the LORD. We must not judge by what we see or decide by what we hear. We must favor the poor with righteousness and choose equity for the meek. We must use the strength of our words to speak truth to power. We must seek to destroy evil. We must wear righteousness and faithfulness as belts that hold the rest of us together. We must seek to create a global ecosystem of just peace.
Many of us who are Christians see the coming of Jesus as the fulfillment of this prophetic image. If you are such a person, please take the time to reflect upon what this implies about Jesus and his mission. Reflect upon whether or not all has been fulfilled. If you decide all has not, then reflect upon how Jesus' mission continues with a trajectory towards fulfillment. Reflect upon how we may be part of that trajectory. If are not such a person, please take the time to reflect upon the hope which this passage exudes. Reflect upon how you can be an agent for making that hope manifest.

Dave Boyle's pic is fueled by no overriding visual style, relying completely on its actors' chemistry for momentum. Unfortunately, the two strike no sparks.

Round 23: US Airways vs Washington Mutual
This is Round 23 in our Worst Company in America contest, US Airways vs Washington Mutual.
US Airways: According to Zagat's, they're the number one worst airline ("as "unhelpful" as "the DMV," "schedule should be published under "fiction" and the Philly hub is the "Bermuda Triangle of luggage"). They've also joined in with the other airlines in devaluing their frequent flyer programs (translation: legally steal money from you). If that sounds bad, just be glad you're not a US Airways employee. A recent NYT article revealed US Air employees actually hate their own airlines more than their customers do.
Washington Mutual, but one cockroach feeding off the sub-prime mound of bat guano, recently rejiggered its executive bonus pay so no execs would feel any pain from the imploding mortgage market they profited off of and helped create. Two years after acquiring Providian, they still haven't integrated the two systems, sometimes resulting in customers getting completely stranded overseas after having their wallet stolen.

The one where I get new shoes…
This morning, hubby and I walked the Memorial Causeway to Clearwater Beach. It is always a treat when hubby joins me for a walk. We went around 7, before it got to be about 500 degrees outside. It was a beautiful morning. The view over the bridge and causeway are always amazing to me and reminds me how lucky we are to live here.
After our walk (5.33 miles!) and a quick stop at Starbucks, we headed home and got ready to head back out again. During our walk, we had talked about how I need to start looking at new running shoes soon. Hubby asked if I had any in mind and I told him no, that I wanted to go somewhere and have gait analysis done so I know I am buying the right shoes. With another half-marathon coming up, as well as a 10K and 5K, I wanted a nice pair of shoes to get me through. We decided to head over the Fit2Run at International Plaza. (Thank you Beth for giving me a heads up on who to talk to!)
When we got there, I was helped right away by Gary and a few questions later to see where I'm at with my running, I stepped on a nifty machine, sans shoes, that determined how the weight is distributed when I stand. I never knew this, but I have high arches. The most weight is on my heels and the balls of my feet, more so on my left foot. He then measured my feet for correct show size and looked at the shoes I wore in, which are the Saucony's I bought in March.
A few minutes later, I was in a pair of Asics and hopping on the treadmill so Gary could video tape my awesome running skills. I ran for about 30 seconds and then we watched it in slow motion. He said that I am a "neutral runner" as my ankles don't roll out or in on impact. He also that the shoes I am wearing now are not the right ones for that (and they are also more of a track shoe, not made for long distance). Neither were the pair of Brooks Adrenaline I had before, which I wore for the Rock N Roll Half Marathon (oops). Both had support on the inside of my feet, which I don't need, and that was causing my shoes to wear more on the outside. It was so exciting to learn all this.
Based on this information, Gary brought out two more pares of shoes – Saucony and Brooks. After trying all of them on, it was no surprise that I liked the Brooks the best. There is nothing like putting on a pair of shoes that fit just right. I originally tried on the blue pair, but when I learned that had pink ones, well I had to get the pink ones. Aren't they fabulous? I can't wait to break them in tomorrow morning!
Thank you, Gary, for all your help and teaching me things I did not know. It was very informative and helpful!
We checked out the rest of the store and I also got a cool water bottle with a pocket for my cell phone. Again, lots of color options and I picked the pink. Do you see a pattern here?
I also decided to sign up for the Club Fit2Run membership. For $30 a year, you get a discount on everything in the store and a 30-day wear test guarantee on all running footwear. Sadly, it does not guarantee I'll look this good while running… Darn!
I also picked up two books I've had my eye on at Barnes & Noble. You know, because I don't think about running enough, I have to read about it too. I am just determined to be a runner. I want to be a runner. I am a runner.
Hubby really spoiled me today, but he says I'm worth it. He knows how much I enjoy running and wants me to have the best chance at it. Thank you, honey, for a fabulous day and for showering me with new goodies. I love you oodles!
Happy 4th of July!!
Okay, so I'm a day late, but the night ran late with our 4th of July fun… It was really nice having a day off in the middle of the week. It messed with my brain though, and I kept thinking it was the weekend. Anyone else have that problem?
Hubby and I decided to go over to the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Tampa and throw away a little of our money for a few hours. We invited my mom along for the fun. It was a fun couple of hours. Good news is, we came home with money, only leaving about $20 there. I'm so glad my honey has will power there and doesn't keep feeding the machines. Yay honey!
After the casino, we headed home for a few hours and then went out to dinner. We originally wanted to go to The Ozona Pig, since after all it was the 4th and my dad was on our minds and we were celebrating him as well as Independence Day. Unfortunately, they were closed for the holiday, so we went to Sonny's BBQ instead. Still a great dinner… My SIL Jenna and my niece Autumn met my mom, hubby and I up there. It was a very nice dinner. It's a shame my brother Nick was working in Miami and he didn't get to join us.
After some silliness in the parking lot with hubby and Autumn, hubby went home so Blue and Ozzie wouldn't be home alone freaking out from the fireworks. They do not like loud noises. How sweet is hubby to stay home with them?
My mom, Jenna, Autumn, and I went up to Crystal Beach for sunset and fireworks. Autumn melts my heart when she refers to it as Pop Pop's Beach. She knows that was my dad's favorite place to watch the sunset and talks about him while we are there.
Autumn had so much fun playing in the sand, walking in the water (which was out REALLY far!) and then doing sparklers and watching fireworks. They didn't have an actual fireworks show, but many people brought there own. It was a lot of fun and there were so many people there. My dad would have loved seeing everyone enjoy themselves.
And we actually got lucky and any rain in the area passed through before sunset. This was our 19th sunset we've seen at Crystal Beach since my dad's crossing and not one single one has been rained out. I know my dad has something to do with that.
Here are some more of my favorite pictures from yesterday. As usual, I can't get enough of my adorable niece Autumn and can never have too many photos!
What did you do to celebrate the 4th of July?
I'd also like to wish my Nick and Jenna a very Happy Anniversary! Today is their 9th anniversary! Love you guys!
Happy 40th Birthday Honey!
Today, hubby turned 40. I am no longer alone in the land of 40 and I'm very happy about that.
As is typical for us, we went to Kobe's Japanese Steakhouse for dinner. It's a favorite of ours for our birthdays and anniversary. It's a fun time and the food is always good.
I thought for sure we were going to get rained on as we drove to the restaurant. The sky looked very ominous.
I made sure to take a picture of us in the car AND when we got there. I'm pretty sure I drive hubby a little insane with all my picture taking, but he expects it at this point.
I enjoyed a nice glass of white zinfandel to start with. Hubby had chicken and shrimp, and I had filet mignon and shrimp. And we always get double yummy yummy sauce. It was delicious and of course there was too much so we came home with a to-go box.
It was a great evening out. Happy Birthday Honey!! I love you so much! 🙂
Birthday and Father's Day fun!
Yesterday morning, I gave hubby a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (his fave!) and Father's Day cards from Blue and Ozzie. When I saw these cards, I knew I had to get them. They were PERFECT. Who says father's of furbabies can't be honored on Father's Day?
Then, hubby and I went for a walk at the park with Blue and Ozzie. We love talking the boys to the park. They are so happy and so excited when we go! I couldn't resist getting a picture of the boys with hubby. He loves his boys!
In my BIG, crazy family, there is something to celebrate just about every month. A tradition was started years ago, as the family grew, that we would get together and celebrate birthday's, holidays, anniversaries, etc… It works out that almost once a month we get together, sometimes having a dinner for multiple reasons. My hubby's birthday is on June 22, so every year, we all get together on Father's Day AND celebrate hubby's birthday.
Hubby decided he wanted to go to Hooter's for his birthday. No one in this family ever complains about going to Hooter's. All jokes aside, we are a Hooters-loving family.
It was really a nice afternoon, with the usual, family craziness. There are a lot of us and we are loud. It always requires planning to eat out. I went to Hooters an hour early just to make sure we could get a table for 18. 18!!!
As always, there was a lot of talking and laughing. I really treasure our family time. The kiddos are adorable and there is silliness and laughter. Pair that with yummy bad-for-you-food and beer, and it's a GREAT afternoon.
As always, I took way too many photos and Instagram'd the heck out of them. It's hard to get photos of everyone and everything, but this is a great representation of the fun we had yesterday to celebrate my hubby's (40th!!) birthday and Father's Day.
Sunday in the kitchen {and a doozy of a headache}
This holiday weekend has not been what I had in mind when I looked forward to it all week. Thursday night, I had a sinus headache that thankfully went away on it's own in a matter of hours. Friday evening, I was hit with another and it was a doozy, right above my right eye. I was in bed by 8pm just so I could be in a dark room with no noise. Saturday morning it was a little better but still there. After I helped hubby's mom for a bit in the morning and came back home, it hit me again – this time on the left side. I've had a lot of headaches in my life and I can honestly say that the one I had yesterday was high on the list of worst headaches I've ever had. I could not get comfortable, I alternated between an ice pack on my head and a hot wash cloth. This headache was on the left side and it was throbbing. I actually threw up and that always makes me cry, and then I stood in the shower for 20 minutes with the hottest water possible running over my head. It helped a little but when I got out, I crawled right back in bed. I skipped dinner but was thankful when hubby finally came home from work and insisted I drink an ice cold frappuccino in hopes of the caffeine helping, along with maybe some brain freeze.
I haven't been able to take any medication since Monday when I went to the eye doctor for the hemorrhage in my right eye. And while I know my body enough to know when a headache is sinus, stress, or whatever, I actually think I had a migraine yesterday. One side of my nose kept opening up which led me to believe it was still sinus-related, but the throbbing and my desire to be in a dark cool room makes me think it was a migraine also.
Today has been better, but I've still spent much of it doing nothing and napping. Still unable to take anything until all the blood clears from my eye, I have to rely on taking it easy. It's not fun but I do NOT want to have another headache like I did yesterday. It. Was. Awful.
So, here is where I've spent much of my weekend. Thank goodness we have a super-comfy bed.
Despite my headache, I did manage to make brownies and cook dinner today. It wasn't anything new or terribly exciting, but it was nice to cook dinner for hubby. I think he thinks I'm silly when I take pictures of food all the time, but I just love to take pictures of the food I make.
I made hubby a steak (no picture of that!) and a side of shrimp cooked in Carolina BBQ sauce. If you've never done this, it's super easy, and he loves it.
I also had half a loaf of crispy sourdough bread from Publix leftover from Friday, so I sliced it up and toasted it with butter and garlic. Always a yummy addition to any meal.
I made myself my super-easy rice, beef, and diced tomato dish. It sounded good and there are leftovers to have for lunch tomorrow!
And because I was feeling down in the dumps when I went to the store this morning, I decided to make brownies. If a girl can't enjoy a glass of wine or an ice cold beer, then chocolate is the next best thing. They came out sooooo good!
I was very glad to have hubby home with me today. He was working yesterday and I know he couldn't be home with me. Blue and Ozzie, being the super smart Aussies they are, knew that I did not feel good yesterday and they were super snuggly. Whether I was laying on the couch or in our room, they were right there with me. Today, hubby has been good company, letting me sleep and relax. He also says my eye looks much better, which makes me happy. I am so ready to be over this.
I hope you are all enjoying the holiday weekend!
Sunday in the kitchen and a blogger meet-up!
I hope you all have had a wonderful Sunday. I had a fantastic day. I had Starbucks this morning and got my grocery shopping done early. I did laundry and some much needed cleaning. Sad, but yes this makes for a wonderful day. It means I can start the week organized!
The highlight of my day (other than hubby coming home from his paintball weekend today) was a meet-up we had in St. Petersburg for the Tampa Bay Lady Bloggers. I was lucky to join this group on Facebook a few months ago after following several local bloggers. They had a meet-up last month, but I was unable to attend. I had this day marked on the calendar, excited to meet a great group of women who I read about and interact with on Facebook and Twitter. We met at The Hooker Tea Co. in downtown St. Petersburg. Like anything new with me, I was nervous going into it, but quickly became comfortable with them. We talked about our blogs, eating out, reading, and more. It really was a great time. I had a yummy iced tea and enjoyed the surroundings. The staff was great and even took pictures of us (with several of our cameras!). I look forward to next month's meet-up and continuing to get to know these great women.
After our meet-up, I headed home to make dinner for my honey. He was gone all weekend playing paintball and I was excited to make his favorite meal – steak and shrimp. Normally I would make myself a piece of fish when he has steak and shrimp, but I decided to have the same. Well, almost. I make his shrimp in Carolina BBQ sauce – he loves it. I wanted something a little different, though. So I sautéed shrimp and fresh tomatoes in olive oil, minced garlic, and basil and served it on toasted French bread from Publix (darn you Publix for smelling like fresh bread when I walked in there this morning!). This is the first time I've made this bruschetta-type dish and I would most certainly have it again. The flavors were amazing and it was very filling. I couldn't even finish my steak, thank goodness hubby was home and finished it for me. I also had a nice glass of Pink Moscato. It was soooo good.
It really was a great Sunday. It's a shame that tomorrow is Monday and that will ruin everything. So, I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Sunday!
Happiness Is…
I am not happy that I've missed the last 2 days of blogging, but we had a bit of craziness. So, time to move on and start with today. Being Saturday, I'd like to do a Happiness Is post. 🙂
Happiness Is…
- Starting the weekend with a 3 mile walk with hubby at the park after work on Friday. We ignored the clouds and threat of rain and went anyway. No rain and a nice breeze made for a very nice walk.
- Meeting a fabulous friend for a 4 mile walk this morning on beautiful Bayshore Blvd. in Tampa. We hadn't seen each other for almost 2 months so it was great to catch up AND be active at the same time. A trip to Starbucks topped it off.
- Knowing that my snuggle boy Blue is getting the care he needs at the vet. I hate that he has to stay there, the house is WAY to quiet without him, and I miss him but I know he is exactly where he needs to be for now.
- Having time today to upload pictures to finish my dad's scrapbook that I started for him years ago. I will work on the book tomorrow and while I will not be happy about finishing it and bringing it to a close, it will make me happy to know that SO much love and emotion went into it. Since starting it, it's been a very special book to make.
- Having so many ideas for my blog and knowing it's all mine to do what I want with. 🙂
- Knowing that this week I've walked 11 miles. This is FANTASTIC given the last few weeks I've had.
What are you happy about today? Happy Saturday!
What a great night!
Last night we saw Daughtry in concert. No news to anyone who knows me or follows me on Facebook, Twitter, or here on my blog. It's all I've been talking about. I promise this will be my last post about it… For now, anyway.
The concert was at my favorite venue in the Tampa Bay area, Ruth Eckerd Hall. It's close to home, there's not a bad seat in the house, and the sound is amazing. It's a smaller venue, which I like, so it feels more personal.
After getting buying the tickets for my 40th birthday, my wonderful hubby surprised me with the news of meet & greet passes just the day before the concert. It was something he had been working on for a few weeks and I, of course, had no idea. These are the types of things he does. If he knows I want or like something, he gets to work on it. He loves me. 🙂
The first part of the meet and greet was to listen to 3 songs during sound check. There were probably 40-50 people there for the meet and greet. We all got to go into the auditorium, down to the very front. I was so excited to be so close! We got to take pictures and enjoy the 3 songs. Here are a few pics I took and already had fun editing.
Afterwards, we went back out and waited for the band. Everyone got to meet the band and have a professional photo taken. I was so excited to see that it was uploaded and available just before the concert started!! I added a few touches to it and here it is!
The concert itself was AMAZING. This was our 4th time to see them in concert and they never disappoint. Driving home, hubby and I discussed where I ranked this concert out of the 4 we've seen. It only took a second to answer. My all time fave was the second time we saw them in Tampa, when they opened for on Bon Jovi. Needless to say I was in heaven that night. My second fave would have been tonight. My third fave was at the summer concert series at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. And last would be at Universal Studios in Orlando.
Here are some pics from during the concert!
It was a great night, one I won't soon forget. Thank you honey for making it a great night!!
Happiness Is…
I haven't done a Happiness Is… post in quite sometime. After reading one yesterday, I thought today would be a good day to do it!
Today, Happiness Is…
- Today is finally THE day for the Mutt Strut and even more exciting is that it's at the park across the street from our house. It is put on by the Humane Society of Pinellas where we adopted our sweet Ozzie boy from and they always do a great job. The last few years it has been at Honeymoon Island State Park which was always nice, but I love that we can walk to it today AND not pay for parking. It's sure be a super fun family day!
- On Monday, one of my fabulous aunts from California is flying in to be here while my mom has surgery and to stay with her. We can't wait to see her and are so thankful that she is able to come out. I know that if my other aunts could come along, they would too. They will all be here in spirit.
- Having the whole weekend ahead of me. I have been so busy lately, I don't know which way is up. There are so many things I want to do, along with the things I need to do. Regardless of what I accomplish, I hope that there is a nap and reading time in there somewhere tomorrow. I love a nice Sunday nap.
- Having a hubby who gets up early on Saturday morning and goes to get me a yummy soy latte from Starbucks. And he brings it back OCD-compliant as I like to have it.
- The smell of orange blossoms. I can smell them in our backyard, thanks to our neighbor, and at the park.
- Having 2 crazy, sweet, adorable dogs. They are a handful and they do drive me crazy at times, but I love them. They are my babies.
What makes you happy?
Where has the time gone?
I am embarrassed at the time that has past since my last post, which was on October 23rd. I got crazy busy with work and everything else took a backseat. EVERYTHING. Working out, eating right, and trying to keep myself at the top of my never-ending list of things to do.
With 2011 coming to an end, I have realized that I have to make myself a priority, regardless of anything else that is happening.
My last post was about Jenna's last training walk for the 3-Day. She did a fabulous job walking 60 miles over 3 days, camping out in the cold and wind. I saw her off at the opening ceremony, cheered her on on day 2 at one of the many cheering stations, and congratulated her at closing ceremony. I was, and am still, so proud of her for what she accomplished. I am also thankful to her for including me in her training as I met some amazing women. We have all gotten together once since the 3-Day for a short 5-mile walk and breakfast. I hope, hope, hope that we can all get together again soon after the holidays.
In November, my hubby and I went to California with my mom for Thanksgiving. My mom had not been out there in 17 years. My last time out was about 13 years ago. It was a FANTASTIC trip, full of catching up with family we had not seen in years and visiting places from our past. I was born there and while I had been back several times over the years, this was my first time back in a long time with my mom and to see her enjoy her time there so much was great. I am so glad hubby got to meet more of my family (we have a huge family!) and see where I was born. We also visited one of hubby's cousins who he had not seen in close to 20 years and who I had never met. It was also a bittersweet trip, visiting my grandfather's grave. My dad never got back to see visit his grave since he passed and we took some of my dad's ashes out there to reunite them. It seemed very fitting and there was a sense of closure, knowing how close they were and how they are together again.
December 4th brought us to the one-year mark of my dad's passing. This year was a total blur, mostly because I was numb for most of it. I'm still not sure how it passed so quickly. I have a year's worth of sunset pictures from Crystal Beach where we spend the 4th of every month. It is a tradition my mom and I have kept to this whole year and I plan to continue it. Every thought, feeling, and emotion of the time my dad spent in the hospital, and then his passing is still very fresh in my mind. I think of him every single day and treasure the endless memories we made over the years. I had a very special tattoo done on the 4th, designed by Jenna. Daddy will always be with me and looking over my shoulder now. I am so glad I had it done. That same day, we all got together at Crystal Beach for yet another beautiful sunset in his memory and then dinner at one of his favorite restaurants.
Christmas Day was celebrated at our house after hubby and Mommy and I went to put flowers at the cemetery for Daddy. My mom made her fabulous turkey dinner (thank you Mommy!!). Nick, Jenna, and Autumn came over. Autumn's laughter filled the house most of the day, there is nothing like it. They also brought their pup Scarlett, who played endlessly with Blue. Ozzie was content just being around everyone. Jenni, Nile, Nathan, and Cheryl came over, as well as Larry, Vicki, and Mary Ann. It was so nice to have a house full of family on such a special day. We are thankful to have a home to invite everyone to, and thankful that everyone joined us and had a grand time.
I am anxious to get back into a routine, the routine that is necessary for me to be the best person I can be. I have got to get back into healthier habits and it is my goal to do just that. The new year brings with it a new start. I AM READY!

Student-led conferences, hmmm. Have you tried it? I can see how it would help students take ownership of their work. Would it empower them? Would it encourage them to do their best on assignments so they can show off their work? Would teachers have to invest more time in planning conferences? If so, would it be worth it? Would parents be satisfied with students doing the talking?

Miscellaneous Garden Things...
Finally, what a leaf! Since I have not grown up near banana trees (none growing in the streets of Montmartre (yes, that would be in Paris, France...) back then...probably still the case now!!!) I LOVE watching these humongous leaves develop in such a short time, oh, how I love them! Fact is I have a tremendous amount of respect for them too. Length of this one: 23.5" or 60cms. Wow... Then this semi-little spider which I also admire (you have seen them here before, yes!) for her talent of seamstress and her artistic costume. And now a not so good shot of this elusive blue dragonfly but still worth it I believe. They are extremely fussy (unlike the copper ones). I'll keep trying...perhaps I will jump in the pond, hide my head behind a big waterlily leaf, wait patiently and hope for the best...to be continued.

The Petite Birthday Party
Steve showered me with roses and glads, we had tons of delicious food including grilled shrimp, plenty of nice drinks to chose from, and of course some bubbly...even Coconut showed up for the party demanding some tidbits of beef barbecue. She had planted herself right smack in the middle of the table but after chasing her twice she consented to remain on the floor!

Early Birthday Fun
Yesterday my adorable young friend Marion took me to lunch to "Seasons", a chic restaurant in Old Town. We shared a yummy (monumental) sandwich and needless to say indulged in the accompanying "frites"....how naughty and nice! She surprised me with an early birthday gift, this little plate, something to cherish for years to come: totally me....except for the plaid pants...(not in my wardrobe then), so funny because I actually am shopping for exactly that, plaid pants for this Fall! How did she know?

Cicada, Beetle and a Rose Named Secret
Yes, yes, yes, I will get back to my studio but I still have too much work in the garden.....and I must admit that I do enjoy it. This afternoon I planted: 3 zuchini plants 1 sacred datura 1 zinnia Not a lot accomplished as far as planting goes but I had to trim a humongous climbing rose "Peace" that had totally overgrown its allotment space. This rose has canes that are over 8' tall and 5'' around....a huge amount of work and I only did 20% of the work. One cane fell on my hand and of course 1 big thorn first..right in my thumb...ouch! The pleasures of gardening...

After the Beauty....The Beast
This was the appalling view in a corner of the patio yesterday night. I had sprayed to repel insects (those attracted by light)) and was spending a peaceful and wonderful moment reading and just absorbing the silence and the beauty .....I heard a sound like a helicopter right there almost under my nose...When I pulled away the potted plant to see what the roaring was all about I found this huge beetle fighting to get up, a big generic black bug on its back(to the left)...and a huge ugly brown spider thinking "dinner"! I was horrified and totally sick but still...You know...The intrepid photographer/reporter/fake scientist/entomologist/would be coroner had to get to work...I was disgusted ...my face contorted by hideous grimaces, as I was getting closer and closer with the camera to that very live spider....
After spraying her abundantly with "Spider Death", I took more pictures of her covered with the shiny poison.
Total horror, sorry, I thought you would want to know and so, with my natural generosity I am trying to recapture the moment for you guys!
Check those "cute" little eyes (if eyes, whatever). By the way I am an arachnophobe...yuck!

Music video by Alaine performing "Hello (Adele Reggae cover)", produced by Shane C Brown (Juke Boxx) and Dean Fraser (Cannon Productions). Video directed by Dameon Gayle and shot at Tuff Gong Recording Studio.
Skip to: Alaine - Hello (Song Lyrics)
Alaine - Hello (Lyrics)
(Verse 1)
Hello, It's me
I was wondering if after all these years you would like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time suppose to heal you
But I ain't done much healing
Hello can you hear me
I'm in California dreaming about who we use to be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet
There's such a difference between us
And the million miles
Hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that i've done
But when I call you never seems to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that i've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
(Verse 2)
Hello, how are you
Its so typical of me to talk about myself I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town when nothing ever happen
It's no secret that the both of us are running out of time
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
Speak Your Mind
