From toil and trouble
You were born,
Dirty little cowboy
Hands callous…worn.
Live your days searching
Ride alone
Rough Rider Cowboy
Has no home.
Rough Rider, Rough Rider -- Bring it on
Rough Rider, Rough Rider – Shoot, before the thrill is gone.
Make em beg
Make em plead
Rough Rider stands
While they’re on their knees.
Shake em down
Stand your ground
Rough Rider glares
Before firing the round.
Rough Rider, Rough Rider -- Bring it on
Rough Rider, Rough Rider -- Shoot, before the thrill is gone.
Look at their eyes
Such a big surprise
Rough Rider laughs
Watches you die.
Rough Rider, Rough Rider -- Bring it on
Rough Rider, Rough Rider -- Shoot, before the thrill is gone.
Rough Rider, Rough Rider -- Bring it on
Rough Rider, Rough Rider -- Shoot, before the thrill is gone.

The Sting
You say this
I say that
Cut to the core
I can’t take this shit anymore
It’s all matter of fact.
No control
It slipped away
To you, you, you…
Not me!
Turned tables
Someday…just wait
Happenchance
Karma, fate
In an instant
Going to come
Get you, you, you…
Not me!
I breathe…
Give up…
Take it away
Slow burn…
Never fear
I’ll still be there
As always...waiting
For you, you, you…
Maybe me.

Kids Say the Darndest Things
My 9 year old nephew, Matthew, was visiting tonight. Every time I see him he asks me how I am coming along with the book I am writing. Tonight was no different except for the chuckle I got from it.
Matthew says matter-of-fact, "Auntie how's the book coming?"
"I'm doing very good. I just finished Chapter 33," I say with a smile. This elicits a small groan from Matthew as he has already asked at a previous encounter when it will be done and I said hopefully by Chapter 45. I respond to his groan with, "Matthew I'm almost done."
Walking away from me he stops then turns back to face me and says, "Well Auntie, when it's all done some publisher is going to take it and sell it... then ALL of New York will love it and you'll be rich."
With a raised eyebrow I look at my sister, his mother, then look back to Matthew and ask, "All of New York?"
With a straight face he says, "Yeah...cuz you'll be on that list." (Chuckle #1)
I grin and chuckle. "Thank you Matthew." I say to my sister, "geez I'm hoping the whole world loves it."
Matthew pipes up, "Yeah then you'll really be rich and you can buy a big mansion and WE'LL all live there." (Chuckle #2)
Love my godson - he's the greatest self-esteem boost. I'll tell you something else, when all of NEW YORK loves me and I am on that list I'm buying that child something special.
THANK YOU MATTHEW!

2010
This is it! This is the year that all things will happen. I will blog, I will exercise and shed the unwanted pounds. I will make it to England and Wales. I will finish THE BOOK. I will... so many I will's.
I have 4 major things I want to accomplish in the next year, well I actually want to have them crossed off the list by end of June but I'll take the year if need be.
1. FINISH Remembrance.
2. Exercise regularly. I need to shed the unwanted weight I have gained somehow.
3. Go to England/Wales.
4. Meet Jimmy Page.
It's not a big list as you can see. These are not resolutions, as I always break them. These 4 things are a definite must... #4 might be a bit tough to work out but I am nothing but persistent and if I can do #3 -- well anything is possible. Right?
Oh yes there is a 5th one for the list, quit smoking, but I am hesistant to add it on there. Something about writing, smoking and drinking loads of coffee. I'm not sure I can give that crutch up but I will give it a go. I'm down to the last pack...have my patches and a firing squad (my 2 kids). So we shall see; if it interferes with my writing then...
I do hope to keep up with this blog though - can't believe its been 4 months. It was Summer warmth. Winter - cold wind snow. That's for another blog.

REMEMBRANCE: Coming Soon (I hope)
With a skeleton key, only I posses, the door was opened. My dreamlike wishes ran amok, dancing and spinning through my mind; into loving, waiting hands that will spin the tale, of the one...
With dark hair that falls gently over high prominent cheekbones. Those ringlets of ebony silk strands fall over hazel colored eyes which stare, penetrating my being. Lips curled in sardonic smile he waits for me to tell his tale of sorcery and love. He licks his full lips slowly, whetting his appetite for what he knows will come from me. His long sculpted fingers push back errant hairs from out of his eyes. On his palm is the star and double crescent moons, deeply ingrained in black ink. His pale skinned hand is held outward to me. He knows it is I who will whisper the words into others ears by the touch of my tiny fingers, spinning the dreams of a long-forgotten reality. He stands waiting, the smile on his face is genuine. "Tell our story", he dares me. "Tell the story of the three, who once held the moon, sun and stars in their magical hands and let it go because of love and betrayal."
Remembrance, is just that - a story of love and betrayal but it is also of friendship and honor tested throughout time. Have you ever met someone and felt an instant connection? Have you ever wondered about your soul mate? How many times have you jokingly said, “we must’ve known each other in a past life?” Perhaps, you have.
Tarrant, Sulien and Arianwen lived, loved and lost in medieval days. They were the chosen three; a lord, a wizard and a witch with combined powers that would rule over medieval Wales; setting the sun and moon in harmony and balance with the lands. Through bitter betrayal it never came to pass - Arianwen was left alone to honor their name. Upon her death she set a spell into motion that was carried out into the auld Norse winds. The gods of fate have returned, breathing life back into that long-forgotten spell. The chosen three: Tiernan, Ayden and Arienh, are back to close the circle. Can they remember all that was in the past and fix the karmic wheel, or will the circle remain broken for all eternity?

Happy June
Ok so it's June... I forewarned everyone I am awful at keeping a journal. Honestly, I just forgot about this page, I've been busy since getting back from the trip. Which, b/t/w was very fun. I worried over nothing - the family behaved. Only had 1 incident with youngest child, so all in all great fun and would highly recommend a fun in the sun cruise.
I am still working on my story and have made it to Chapter 20 thus far. woo hoo! Me and my crazy life and I am still finding time to write. I promised myself I would work on it each night, whether it was editing or writing, I assured myself I would do that AND I was doing well up until two weeks ago. Health crisis. blah I was so exhausted and feeling cruddy I just could not drag myself to the computer. Someday this brilliant novel will finally reach its end. Someday
Today is my oldest daughter's birthday. She turned 17! Hard to believe 1 more year she will be graduating and then college. waaaah! :-( Exciting times but makes me sad, even though she drives me crazy sometimes - I still find it hard that my baby is all grown up. Happy Birthday Sara!
Well now I blogged - so I feel better. Now I am off to write on the WIP.

A Mindless Rant
One month since I posted about snow. HA! Today it was 70. Woo hoo us in New England. That was our spring - tomorrow we go back to winter - in 3 weeks we will jump to 85 degree weather. What's that NE saying, "If you don't like the weather in New England, wait a minute." So true.
Ok. I should be writing Chapter 15... it's half written doesn't that count for something. I seriously had every intention on finishing before I leave with my family on the cruise to the Bahama's Monday early morning but I unfortunately stalled out. Had to run to Target and get a new bathing suit and some new clothes cuz somehow I gained 6 pounds over the winter. eeeeeek shudder. Now I knew the cruise was coming, I also knew I gained weight, did I start my exercise program 3 months ago. No... why? I was writing. LOL yeah that's it... I was writing.
I have spent more money this week getting ready for this vacation than I probably will in the bahama's and I haven't even left the state of Massachusetts. Somebody just shoot me now and put me out of my misery. ahhhh never mind that's what the happy hour drinks on the cruise ship are for, right?
When I come back from vacation it's off to the gym. Pics of me in a bathing suit drunk should sooo prompt me to run shrieking to Bally's upon my return.
I'm glad to be out of work for a week, glad to be going away somewhere. Though I wish it was to England or Wales without kids but sun and surf I will take. Tomorrow I get buffed up, manicure, pedicure, waxing, hair. Sunday is packing 3 people up, NAP, double check we have everything, NAP again. Our shuttle to the airport arrives at 3:30am (yes AM) our flight is at 7am. Then it's no phones, no computer, no tv (what the hell am I going to do-- I actually have to spend quality time with the family eeeeeeeeek!!!!!). I shall post the vacation rant upon my return.
Now I'm off to do 4 paragraphs to Chapter 15. I have too, I promised someone I'd finish it before I go. :-)
