happy birthday mishy

cuz i would hug you if you were here
cuz you're squishy, mishy, and i care
cuz you're adorable and family
and you always bring a smile

for your love and creativity
may your audience always roar
i say happy birthday mishy
and many, many more

the madness continues

a week or two ago i thought i had turned a corner on the over-eating and more, on the over-snacking, but apparently i am still secretly indulging my taste buds and the receptors in brain and body that ooo and ahhh over sugar and caffeine and fat and fried stuff and all the consumables that are slower to burn off than the greens and grains... and i haven't finished unpacking yet either... i wonder how much reconnecting with my past had to do with that... maybe nothing, but we'll never know, so why bring it up...

since i did not get into work today, i'm going to have to wake way early on monday and get in well before sunrise... and what for? rises from more voices in my mind the more i give to the corporate world... yes, the kids, but then, what about me and my kids?... rhetorical questions, of course, and who cares anyway...

but the day was filled with glee just the same... waking and farting around for a couple of hours then going to softball practice then to see anything goes starring precious' best friend who continues to improve and has all the makings of a broadway musical star (except the foot in the door at an early age) and then to see the last five years which was even better and then to steak and shake for an indulgent late night dinner and then, home to do laundry and sit here bring you thereal as it happens...

even if it does prove how alone i am after hours and how nobody actually shares my day to day existence, at least it's here for posterity and for when you want to check in... hope your weekend is going well too...
