late poetry

if you're in the mood for a little poetry, i uploaded three new ones. i wrote them a few weeks ago and have been too busy/lazy/tired/obstinate (stop me when you've heard enough) to post them.

i had a really great morning reading and writing...i have some big dreams and thoughts to share with you soon...want to hammer them down a little bit before i get them up here. but be prepared for a big 2011. that's all i'm going to say. :)

i know this picture really has nothing to do with the post i just wrote, but they're so cute. it's hard not to plaster their pictures everywhere. i heart lily and ez-c. :)

oh, hey, a new baby...

ok, i am FULLY aware i have been shamelessly neglecting you for several weeks. i sort of apologize. but not really. it's been a little busy in my world.

1) winter. gross. i hate it. mostly because of my car and the completely probable reality that he will slide off the road and kill me. but also because i just like summer so much better. sunshine that doesn't blind me from the glare off the ground is preferable.

2) school. yup. i had some. i am totally done with all of my homework and projects and papers (and trust me when i tell you it was a CRAPLOAD, especially last week). i am spending today finishing grading stuff for my freshmen, and then i will be donezo.

3) brittany and bradley had their baby on my dad and grandma's birthday! at 6 pounds, 3 ounces and 20 inches, he is a tiny little bundle of sweetheart and joy. when lily was born, she didn't open her eyes forever...probably too difficult to open them between all the rolls of fat. haha. charmer daniel bradley, on the other hand, was just wide-eyed and enjoying the world right away. he is a doll. and watching lily with him was amazing. just precious. she sang, 'have i told you lately that i love you?' to him.


so. now that my chaos is coming to an end, you can expect a regular bevy of updates. actually, you might get several today. i have a few poems and a song to upload. and some other stuff. so we'll see. anyway, friends, i am back.
