ode to corey

copying Corey because she's that awesome/i am that unoriginal;)

i am
pretty much always freezing cold (or boiling hot - only ever 'just right' at the beach house in Mali-barbara which i really need to buy.....)

i want
more coffee (with a little bit of mint TJs cocoa - so so so good:)

i have
the nicest hubbie ever (i don't know what he sees in me or how i got so lucky or how a cheesy $85 Vegas wedding could turn out to be THE deal of a lifetime:)

i wish
every pet had a loving forever home

i hate
politics

i miss
my Grandma's sweet letters

i fear
cancer

i feel
like i've been running to stand still since U2 wrote that damned song :|

i hear
cartoons and air purifiers and a little boy playing football indoors :|

i smell
peace potion - it's magical

i crave
chocolate - pretty much always

i search
constantly for something that's hard to find - presently it's qtica intensive cuticle repair balm 0.5 jar for under $10 a jar (impossible!)

i wonder
if my rat Rosie is pregnant... please make her not be pregnant! three's plenty!!

i regret
a few things (but then again too few to mention;)

i love
living close enough to George Clooney's house to walk by and hear him play basketball (not a stalker)

i ache
and cry and donate and worry for shelter animals (urgh... i wish there was a pill sometimes for caring too deeply)

i care
about weaving happy memories into ordinary days

i always
keep the countertop clean and empty and reflective for sanity sake (the blendtec is KILLING ME!!!)

i am not
a runner - i give up even trying (yeah like i tried... :)

i believe
in smiling first

i dance
with my boys to Smooth Criminal every once in a while :)

i sing
in the car going to Vegas in my American Idol audition voice and it makes Aaron cringe :)

i cry
over stupid facebook pet pardons updates (which i should unsubsribe from - but i CAN NOT turn my back on something i care about)

i don’t always
drink enough water........ because it's so boring and blah and unfizzy

i fight
and get exhausted and cry

i write
like a girl

i never
ever ever eat meat. and all because of Gordon Ramsay's "if you can't kill it, don't eat it" philosophy (love him)

i listen
to a lot of Coldplay. thanks to REM splitting up :|

i need
peace and stillness (now i understand my Mum's need for "peace and quiet" really really well....)

i am happy
most of the time (except for when i read those facebook pet pardons...)
