Auld Langs Mine

  Moving. Into a house with my daughter and beagle. After having lived with my parents with my daughter for the past year following a separation and divorce. He has had the beagle; and most of my things over the past year.  The clone and I moved only essentials...clothes, jewelry, books, Yarn...
  It is so very odd how being separated from the physical presence of THINGS for such a long time can seriously cut the cord to them. I feel very complacent regarding even the most precious heirloom. I've never been overly materialistic. I collect things. Fabric, yarn, dog motif pillows, antique linens, angels, books.  But I don't shop like crazy and I don't have to have the newest of everything everyday.  That said, it still feels very, very weird to feel so very disconnected to things I have truly loved to be around and have around me.
   So, as I move my old things into this new chapter of me, we shall see where it leads.  Simplicity its a good thing. Saves green...may types.

Happy NEW Me...

Its Just Me

   Generally I wait until Easter for new year resolutions. But I have lots and lots and lots and lots of things going on that I seriously need to get a jump on.
Things to organize, avoid procrastinating, Undo, redo, just do, overdo, do up, do to, do do do, dobe dobe do...
You get the picture.
  Books and Scripts and Songs OHMY! Are running round and round in my head. I've gotta purge. And the only thing out there equivalant to COLON CLEANSE (but for the brain with writter's bloat) is, well, TO WRITE.
 So, that is this next year's agenda.
 To Wit: To WRITE.
But I must admit, the advice I am receiving regarding Books(that e-books are the way to go) leaves me cold. I want to write BOOKS. Not electronically, transmitted ,typed, entertainment, long-form. Books. HOLD in your hands, feel the paper become warm and scritch as you turn the leaves, BOOKS. They say e-books are where the money is. Well, paper print is where my words will be. PPPPFFFFFTTTTTTT.
I have several ideas (of which I plan to disclose NONE here.)
My scripts are all plays. ;) A movie adaptation to the stage. And two musicals.
I write songs all the time.
So 2011 - the year of Em the writer.
I'll blog too, so - don't worry... you'll hear all about it all.
Aren't you excited?

The wish

Making Memories of Us- Keith Urban (Lyrics)


I'm gonna be here for you baby


I'll be a man of my word

Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard

I wanna sleep with you forever

And I wanna die in your arms

In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm


And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you

And I'll earn your trust making memories of us


I wanna honor your mother

I wanna learn from your pa

I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw

I wanna stand out in a crowd for you

A man among men

I wanna make your world better than it's ever been



And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you

And I'll earn your trust making memories of us



We'll follow the rainbow

Wherever the four winds blow

And there'll be a new day

Comin' your way



I'm gonna be here for you from now on

This you know somehow

You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now

And I'm gonna make you this promise

If there's life after this

I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss

Yes I am...


And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you

And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you, baby

And I'll win your trust making memories of us
