Thinly veiled...
YELLOW BIRD
Yellow bird
I hear you don't like your cage
You tried to pretend it away
Told me you were free to play
Yellow bird
You sang with such joy in your throat
I paused just to savor each note
And I could recite them by rote
The illusion of your openness
And your eagerness to please
Appealed so to a blue sky like me
Yellow bird
Your voice was so sweet

A little bit of melancholy in the key of E major...
UNFIT
Happy people in love
They make me feel kind of sad
I’ve never been those people in love
That’s not a blessing that I’ve had
I think those people in love
They see the world as good and whole
I wouldn’t know this world of love
I wouldn’t recognize a soul
I don’t premeditate love
When I meet a brand new beau
I never expect real love
It’s not even a ( Read more... ) -
Another song! (It's a fast one...with punchy verses)
BROKEN-DOWN
I'm just a broken-down heart on the side of the road
I've been playing my part but the traffic has slowed
I could stick out my thumb and show some leg
'Cause I really need a ride, but I don't wanna beg
I'm just a broken-down dream on your pillow at night
I always mean to be sweet but I still start the fight
I'm the creature in your closet or ( Read more... ) -
First new song of the year!
I started writing this on my way to work tonight...just singing bits of melody and adding some words idly as I drove. I recorded what I could into my phone and I've now got the words done and most of the music. No idea what key it's in until I get out my guitar, but I can tell you it's mid-tempo...just a regular sort of pop song...
JUST LONELY

Slackeriffic!
Hey, kids...
So, I started this blog to keep honest about exercise and all that and it couldn't be easier, really, 'cause I can send posts via email from my smart phone...but I'm still being super lazy. Wah.
I did do the kettlebell and the yoga that night...and the next night I didn't do anything (but I had reasons that I won't go into here). The ( Read more... ) -
I was good...
I did the kettlebell workout...and then I sat down and sort of zoned for a bit, haha. I did some work...laundry, floors...and then set up my yoga space. The video isn't as hard as I remember it being...odd. I'm not to the point of mastery or anything, but with the recommended modifications it's not bad. The biggest problem with yoga is that ( Read more... ) -
I don't WANNA!
So I'm sitting here, playing with my laptop, thinking about writing in my naughty blog (if you don't already know where to find it, you never will), thinking about getting up off my ass and doing that kettlebell workout.
OMG.
I am still sooo sore from the one I did two nights ago! No matter how slight the movement, my legs remind me promptly that I ( Read more... ) -
MORE new scarf action!
I used the leftover green fuzzy novelty yarn from Jessica's scarf to make a skinny one for myself, with some white, shiny baby yarn and two shades of teal worsted weight. I think this one is going on the Rock Boat with me!

New scarf action!
You can't really see in the pic, but it's pale pink and green. Super-long, for my super-tall friend, Jessica!
