Poetry And Prose

LET ME

Let me bend your ear.
Let me hold you near.
Let me call you dear.
Let me hear your voice.
Let me have a choice.
Let me see your face.
Let me learn your grace.
Let me have the nerve.
Let me be your verve.
Let me be your mend.
Let me be a friend.
Let me have the same.
Let me not be a game.

YOU

You make me smile.
You make me sing.
You make me think.
You make me see.
You make me be.
You make me hear.
You make me tear.
You make me touch.
You make me listen.
You make me glisten.
You make me love.
You make me dance.
You make me take a chance.
You make me complete.

MISS

I miss your lips.
I miss your smile.
I miss your laugh.
I miss your style.
I miss your hair.
I miss your stare.
I miss your chair.
I miss your t-shirt.
I miss your pants.
I miss your dance.
I miss our talks.
I miss our walks.
I miss your language.
I miss your smell.
I miss your spell.
I miss you, period.

LOVE

Love me if you will.
Love me as I am.
Love me if you can.
Love me for who I’ll be.
Love me to a T.
Love me if you care.
Love me, if you dare.

WONDER

I wonder how you are.
I wonder what you do.
I wonder if you know,
How much I care for you so.

I wonder if you dare.
I wonder if you care.
I wonder if you see,
How much you mean to me.

It is with great passion and love that I write
these words of prose.
One day, I hope that you will see them
and know.
In my dreams, you already do, for you are my
one and only true love.

I’ll keep you locked in my head,
Until we meet again.

--Pink

Love,
Your TT

MISSION Updates

MISSIONS.
{LOVE THESE}

Here's an update on the current outstanding MISSIONS.

{Uncle Jerrill's Death Certificate}

My cousin sent away for this over 6 weeks ago and has not heard a word.
I sent an email inquiry today, so we'll see if I get a response or not. As soon as I get more details from Donna, I'll give them a call. Don't make me go down there to complete this MISSION. It will not be pretty, I can promise that. I might have to call up my Aunt Debbie for help. I don't want to bother her though, so I'll try to accomplish this one on my own yet.
Why is it taking so long? It's a Death Certificate for pity's sake.

{Tiffany's Birthday Surprise}

Well, both Tiffany and I (and her son Andrew) are counting down the days until I get to Georgia.
24 Days to go until I arrive in Savannah.
25 Days until her birthday.
Her son is our walking calendar. Everyday, Tiffany asks him, "Andrew how many days?" and Andrew will say, "25 momma and tomorrow is 24!" (or however many days it actually is)
He's so stinking cute too, when he says it. I can't wait to get there!

{B&I Wedding}

I am expecting the rest of the cardstock to arrive today via UPS.
I can then finish printing up the invites and begin assembly.
I think when the Boss goes on his hunting trip to Montana, I'll do these at work.
There I will have peace and quiet and minimal interuption.
Sounds like a plan to me. Unless the Boss gives me a list.

{Dad's Military Records}

I sent away for my dad's military records. Unfortunately for me, his records were part of a fire and were destroyed. They sent me a copy of his Discharge paper, so at least I have a legible copy now. So, if anyone reading this has early pictures of my father, please contact me so that I can get copies of them.

{Dad's Records}

I still haven't gotten these put to CD yet. I'll have to get over to mom's one day and dig them out. She had them out the other day looking for her birth certificate and didn't leave them out for me. I'll have to give Cousin George a call too and see if he has anything, as well as the rest of the Marlar family that I haven't met yet.

I think that those are all the outstanding MISSIONS I have going on right now. At least those are the ones I can think of.

Happy Monday to you all.

Gabby

So you have to know my daughter Gabryelle, to appreciate her. And I mean APPRECIATE her.

Friday night she tells me...and these are her exact words..."I was screwing around with the machine in the bathroom, and it spit out 10 cents!"

She was sooooo excited. She thought she hit a jackpot playing Tampon Slots!
Now, mind you, she is only 9. She doesn't know what that machine is or what it's for even (I don't think anyway, she might).

But she has this sense of humor...that's kind of dry in a way. And those of you lucky enough to have met her, know what I'm talking about! Those of you who haven't had the privilege yet, watch out and brace yourselves...you are in for quite a treat!

Happy Sunday, ya'll!
Love ya's! MUAH'S!

Happy Weekend!

Well it’s Homecoming in Waterville tonight.
There’s a parade this afternoon.
The game is tonight.
Activities have been going on all week.
And my kids thought they’d be going to the game.
Until…they were informed that since they didn’t get their chores done, they aren’t going.
I know, Mean Mom. Tough. They’ll learn sooner or later to listen when I speak.

They have rooms to clean and clothes to put away. It’s not like I’m asking them to move the Earth or anything. Take an hour out of your day and get it done. Stay on task and all it’ll take is an hour. Easy peasy.

Not for them. They are the most stubborn children I have ever met. I can stand over them and make them do it and they still wouldn’t get it done. So I quit doing that. I was just wasting my time and energy. Now I take away what they love in exchange for chores getting done. Get it done, or it’s gone. Easy peasy.

I told the girls this morning, if they got their chores done, I’d take them out for supper tonight. We’ll see when I get home and pick them up if they did them or not. I have to take Tommy to get his car after we pick him up. Then I can have mine for tomorrow. By the end of my day today, I will have put on 100 miles. 2 trips to Waseca and back and 2 trips to Faribault and back = 100 miles. I’ll be tired I know.

Natalea has a volleyball tournament tomorrow and Lynn is having a Stampin’ Up! Party.
I already put my order in for the party. I needed some more white ultrasmooth cardstock for Bruce and Irene’s invitations. I ordered plenty.

Speaking of invitations, I believe I have all my supplies here now to start them. I had the photos printed up the other day. Now I’ll have to do them up assembly line style. I only have 3 weekends to go before they have to get done. I’ll map out my steps on paper (in my B&I Wedding Notebook) first, then assemble as required. It all requires that the first step be completed before I can move on to the second step and third step, etc. It’ll be some tedious prep work, but I’m feeling pretty groovy about it all. So, B&I, have no fear, TT is here! (I love that…B&I…lol…rhymes with V&I and T&I…lmao!)

Happy Friday Ya’ll!
Have a Groovy weekend!
I love you all!
