"All I Want Is You" Barry Louis Polisar

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

For a physical challenge I'm notoriously bored
Intravenous delivery, electrolytes and more
Everytime it's the same routine
Out with the bad, in with the clean
Before I lose all motor skills
There's one thing you should know

This is for real, this time I mean it
I'm coming clean, please don't let go
I said from the start, that you could take it or leave it
I'd prefer that you keep it
Don't let go

This is the best thing that I've ever had for real
This is the best thing that I've ever had for real

This is the best thing that I've ever had for real
This is the best thing that I've ever had for real

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to spending time with the kids, tomorrow my plans include celebrating Audra's B-Day & Leah and Sunday, I want to clean the kids rooms!

Paybacks are a bitch!!!!!

My oldest daughter will be 15 in a few days and just graduated from 8th grade. Paige is growing up so fast and turning into a full-blown teenager right in front of my eyes. Overall, she is a great kid and has her moments just like everyone else.

The graduation will soon not be forgotten! We had tornado warnings as the ceremony started; then got ushered in and out 3x before it could get started. I even discovered that my former High School has a basement. I just can’t believe that I never discovered it when I use to trek around that school.

Here are photos of how pretty Paige looked!





There is only one thing worse than dealing with teenagers, dealing with the ex-husband! I try so hard not to let this “man-boy” get to me and try to remember deep inside there is a good person in there. He is more unreasonable to deal with than the kids! The funny thing is that he creates his own messes and I refuse to clean up. I think that is what makes him so mad; I won’t clean up after him. Then again, don’t be a dumbass and claim all the kids on your taxes even though the divorce papers state “who” you can claim. Yes, you will have to pay the government back; you took credits that you were not suppose too!!!!

Then get this…. After all I had to do to prove to the IRS who I was able to claim and who he was suppose to claim, he had the guts to ask me for a portion of stimulus check for the extra kid!!! It cost me more than that just to file my taxes…

The real “kicker” was when he called me a bunch of filthy names in front of the kids and decided to prove what a man he was by kicking my van. Nice!!! Happy Father’s Day!!!

A little road-knitting!

I love to travel as long as I do not have to drive.... IKEA is one of my favorite stores!! However, I think Mr. P likes it WAY more than I do.... WAY MORE! WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY More!!! I did find my chair pads and a million other things for the home. (pictures will come once the mud pit is gone)

I am so glad gas is not this high by us!!

It was an awesome weekend! I would of gotten more knitting done but SOMEONE wouldn't SHUT UP... Oh, wait that was the goose! He was just trying to compensize!!
The Jaywalker's are done and wouldn't be complete without the BRAIN!

Thanks Bail!!!

Oh…….Sex was worth the wait!!!

Last night, finally after 4 LONG years, Sex in the City!!!!!!!!!! We cried, got mad, sad, and happy then laughed! (I do not want to ruin for anyone who has not yet seen it) It was worth the wait!!!

As for knitting?? I haven’t done much in the last two weeks but a trip down to IKEA today will allow for some serious road-trip-knitting! Ok, off to pack!!

It all started with a needle….

I am in a dishcloth knitting frenzy as of lately. They are a perfect project to do while learning something new and feeling a sense of accomplishment for a quick knitting fix. I have such thick calluses on my fingers, that I have lost feeling in the tips of my index fingers.

I have managed to turn out one Jaywalker sock and 8 dishcloths with a bit more difficult patterns. It also goes along with my goal of stash busting my cedar chest a little bit. I knew my frenzy would come to an end very soon. I was cranking some cloths out in a day’s time frame. Friday on my trip to Georgia, I couldn’t do more than 2 rows with out making a mistake and it continued into the night, till then I finally gave up.

I needed to find a new project! We got new laptops at work; it is only logical to make a Felted Messenger Bag for carrying it around. My fingertips are really enjoying the size 15 needles! I was able to finally frog that sweater that has been lying around for almost 2yrs.

Here are my 4 favorite Dishcloths!

Knitted Lacy Round Dishcloth

Baby Fern Stitch Dischloth

Victoria Dishcloth

Leaf Pattern Lace Dishcloth

Tempting Tuesdays!

You know what??? I love my group of friends they always just seem to know what you need before you know you need it.  Every once in awhile we have an impromptu party at my house during the week. Tonight was one of those nights! On the weekends, my house it the house to be at!! We always seem to start here, go our separate ways, met up and then again meet at my house. (No kid weekend) Gosh, I LOVE being single!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight was the night to hang out and let loose at my house. What could be better? A couple of old fashions, Ipod with cool songs, a broom, stripper shoes, liquid dinner ( I ate some cherries and you ate some olives). Then some NACHOS! Here it is only 10pm and what a night it was! We always come up with some slogans of the night........ Here they are in random order and they probably make no sense to anyone but us.. This is my Blog and I Will Blog what I want too.

- To the left, Ur shit is to the left or is that garage? It depends on where you are sitting. That's your right, just turn around and the garage is to the left.

- I like your dog so much better than HIS dog.

- Why does UR armpit smell like my hair?

- I will sleep with you, if you promise not to back hand me!!

- Your are CRAZY! I am so timid compared to you??

- I promise I won't bite! only a little....

- Why? It seemed like a good idea at the time. I thought you were blind.. "Remember, love is BLIND". Were you in a coma then?

- Ok, enough now.. How do we get in your house? We can enter through the back.. Crap, my fence is broke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Walk over it or bring a drill. You can't enter without a drill.

- You need a BIG drill to enter!

- Does every song on ur Ipod talk about sex? NO every song has an element of sex! It doesn't matter, I am off sex.

- Your cat is gay. Wrong, he is a trans-sexual, deal with it.  I tend to have people in my life who have sexual identify issues, it's not your 1st time sitting here with people with sexual identity issues.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a blast!!Here's to our Future!

Help I have Fallen & I can't get up....

Tonight while I was chatting it up with Audra, paying my cell bill...I came to realize that, dating really racks up the minutes on a cell phone bill. 

Check this out...

Jan. 08- Feb. 08 = 160 minutes total

Feb.08 - March 08= 240 minutes total

March 08- April 08= 1700 minutes total

Which got me to thinking, can the Cell phone companies tell what's going on in person's life just by their bill. 

Dating = Numerous of new #s, lots of calls after work, short conversations, some longer conversations to the friends, loads of txt messages

Narrowing Down the Dating Scene = Fewer new #s, more regular incoming #s, longer conversations, still lots of txt messages

Found the one = Still some regular #s, one # has lots of long late night conversations, fewer random txt messages, more regular txt msgs

Opps, wasn't the one = Going back to a few regular #s, Lots of txt msgs to previous #1, txt msgs in general are up again

This one is WAY better = Very few regular #s, A new #1 with lots of long midnight conversations, txt msgs are dwindling in general

Officially Dating = #1 is in the top spot by 90%, txt msgs by #1 takes the top spot however the "old" regulars are just down to the txt msg stage

Moving into together = #1 still top spot but at least now they are getting more sleep, short conversations, txt msgs mostly from #1

Married = #1 still called the most but conversations tend to be under 5 minutes in length, txt mgs mostly from friends on the weekends... I wonder what else they all can tell about us just by our patterns?

I was just saying to Audra how I really like this single thing; it's fun and kind of exciting. However, that's today tomorrow could be a totally different story.

As I was making my way to check the puter, I stumbled down my back stairs (It was only 3). All I could do was lay there laughing at myself with coffee spilled all over my white robe (It really is gray after years of use, shh). I know I looked really funny; it even caused my very particular cat to come running to see what all the noise was. All I could think about, as I lay there full of brown stuff, what if I was in the house all by myself? HELP I HAVE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is it I need Lifeline!

Nah, I like being single.
