here I am :)

 

Hello everyone   Here I am ~ it's been awhile hasn't it?  since May 26th I believe it was.  To be perfectly frank, I just haven't felt like writing~I've been "hiding" and just taking some "inner soothing" time if you know what I mean.  I haven't written any comments in a week or so in any of the journals I visit, I haven't done anything, period.  Please forgive my laxness?  My heart just hasn't been in it.

 

Hmmmm, let me see, what's been going on with me ~ work, home, cooking, puppy duty, cat duty....Cindy is working her ass off per usual, it's been particularly stressful for her this week (and will be for the rest of this month) because her boss is in Hawaii on vacation for 7 days, so all the decisions where she works falls on her shoulders. Then next week one of her other co-workers goes on vacation, then the following week another co-worker on vacation & the week following that yet another one goes - so, the things that these co-workers do fall on her shoulders and become her responsibility.  So, what I try to do is attempt to make her "home downtime" as comfortable as possible.  She deserves it.  My Baby is such a wonderful person (tho, yes, She can be stubborn as hell too LOL) (but then so can I be ).

 

In case you are wondering about my choice of graphics in this entry~Cindy, my soul mate, my deepest darkest love of my life (for the rest of my life) ~ this past Friday, June 1st, She took me to a Stevie Nicks concert in Dallas; Stevie's "Crystal Visions" Tour and before that She took me to a wonderful dinner at the "Saltgrass Steakhouse" can we say OMG wonderful ? Stevie is truly the high priestess of rock & roll ~ she was fabulous, Cindy was sitting beside me drooling her head off LOL.  She adores, worships and loves Stevie with a passion.  Chris Issak <spelling???> opened for her, he was very good to, tho most everyone was there for Stevie and only Stevie ~ it's funny the age bracket that was the majority of the audience, in their late 30's, 40's and older and one heck of a lot of gay men and lesbians there too LOL.

She did her twirling thing on stage...She is so absolutely beautiful, you'd never know she was 56 .  Cindy got me a tour T-shirt too   neato .  She started the concert by coming out singing "Stand Back" can we say WOW?  I can lol.  She sang a few of my fav's - one being "Rhiannon" I have always loved that song...I wish she had sang "Dreams" too, but alas I wasn't to have my wish fulfilled .  I'm writing below the lyrics for "Rhiannon" and another She didn't sing "Sometimes it's a Bitch" but it's one of Cindy's and I's favorite songs so I am including that also. Also a few links to a couple of her websites.

 

Rhiannon

 

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
and wouldn't you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight
and who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen
a woman taken by the sky.
Well would you stay if she promised to you heaven?
Would you even try?
And he says, "Rhiannon, Don't go."
And he says, "Rhiannon, stay."
And he says, "I still cry out for you.
Don't leave me, don't leave me."

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night.
And wouldn't you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight.
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen
a woman taken by the sky.
Well would you stay if she promised to you heaven?
Would you even try?

She is like a cat in the dark,
then baby, she is your darkness.
She rules her life like a fine skylark,
when the sky is starless.
Once in a million years a lady like her rises.
Oh no, Rhiannon, you cry, but she's gone
Your life knows no answer, Your life knows no answer.

Rhiannon....

She rings like a bell through the night.
And wouldn't you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight.
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen
a woman taken by the sky.
Well would you stay if she promised to you heaven?
Would you even try? Say, would you even try?

Rhiannon....

Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Your dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Your dreams unwind
And still it's hard to find, I know.
Your dreams unwind
And still it's a state of mind, I know
Dreams unwind
And still it's hard to find, I know
Dreams unwind
And still it's a state of mind, I know

Take me like the wind, child
Take me with the sky
Take me now
Take me like the wind, baby
Take me with the sky
All the same
All the same
All the same, Rhiannon
All the same
Baby, all the same
All the same

And he still cries out for her,
"Don't leave me now."

If you read on her "In Her Own Words"  website (link below) She explains what some of her songs were written about and how she came up with them etc.

 

In Her Own Words

Here are the Lyrics for ~

"Sometime's It's a Bitch"

Well I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
I cried a river of tears from the pain
I try to dance with what life has to hand me
My partner's been pleasure...my partner's been pain

There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle
And dark desperate hours that nobody sees
My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands...down on my knees

Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze

I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I've laid down with love and I woke up with lies
What's it all worth only the heart can measure
It's not what's in the mirror...but what's left inside

Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze

You gotta take it as it comes
Sometimes it don't come easy

I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
And I've cried a river of tears from the pain
I tried to dance with what life had to hand me
And if I could...I'd do it all over again

Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes the picture just ain't what it seems
You get what you want...but it's not what you need
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes...it's a breeze
Well it's a breeze...it's a breeze...it's a breeze...

When I hear that song, it always makes me think and I realize how true it is...about life in general.  It's the yin and the yang of things, you know?   If you look in my favorite sites part of my journal it has the link to her personal web pages.   Know what Cindy and I found out?  That "Heart" was going to be there to the night before    If we had known that in time we would have been at that one also, being as Heart is one of our other favorite groups lol. Okay, I'm out of here, focus gone... Hope everyone has a great day, night or whatever place you are at in your life!
