DANI'S QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Until you've been in poilitcs you've never really been alive.
It's rough and somethimes dirty, and it's always hard work and tedious details,
but it's the only sport for grown-ups --
all other sports games are for kids.
-Robert A.Heinlein

 the test- i stabbed it in the face and then i laughed
(translation- it was EASY for me....prob not for the rest of the class... but easy for me)

the doc- long story short - no ulcer - ibs- can eat whatever - had filet migon to celebrated for my tummy - going back for a test later

home - i love this place more than any other spot on the planet - went 4-wheeling and had a bubble bath--there's not much better

thanks.

test- then doctor- then home.

prayers appreciated.

hopefully no more rice cause i want a steak like no other.

mk so.... here is what i'm allowed to eat....

notice just how much of the gatorade is gone!

in the past 24 hrs i've had 3 cups of rice, 4 pints of gatorade, one mini banana, and 2 cups of applesauce.

i'm starving and this stuff does not NOT fill me up

this is the cute mini-banana ~ it tastes about the same

here are the fun yummy foods i'm not allowed to eat.

i'm so sick of rice

we MIGHT have found the cause of my pain!!! after my post asking you guys to pray, the pain has continued to get worse. in fact, i don't remember the last day since Christmas that i haven't had pain. today it reached a boiling point when i missed my 8 am lab cause it hurt so much i couldn't get out of bed. Well, mom flipped, but she talked to my "family" doc. te he he. my poor cousin is a dr. and gets plagued w/ all our medical woes.

---mk so now for the news you are actually reading this for---
she says it sounds like i have an ULCER!!!!
kinda  freaky, but if that means we can make the pain stop............yeah

so i'm now on a BRAT diet at the order of my mom
(Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast)
and
Prilosec OTC at the order of my cousin

Thank you Lord for even this possibility!

I'll tell you if it helps in about a week!

so in happiness today i found this site..

Home is the place you grow up wanting to leave
and grow old wanting to get back to.

i had to write an opera (well... part of one ) for my intro to music class. it was rather late at night and well... here is how it turned out...

“The Dove”

Opening Chorus

            Happy is she when she is in love

            Her heart – it flutters, it flies

            Her love is more beautiful that a winged dove

            A winged dove in the clear April skies

Recitative (to be sung by Jane)

            I see my love as he walks my way

            Let us walk together and be happy

            Talk with me

            Tell me of your love for me

            Tell me of my beauty

Aria (to be sung by John)

            My love for her passes all understanding

            But even I know she’s a bit too demanding

            Her beauty is beyond compare

            She’s perfect- right down to the shade of her hair

            But alas I must do what my heart is commanding

Recitative (to be sung by Jane)

You look troubled dearest one

            What is wrong?

            Do not say those words

            Do not make me cry

            Do not walk away

Aria (to be sung by Jane)

            He walked way from me

            All he said was that he had to leave

            I want a reason for all my tears

            I want an end to all my fears

            Because it only hurts when I breathe

Closing Chorus

Unhappy is she when she is no longer in love

            Her heart – it breaks, it cries

            When the love left, she killed that stupid dove

            Because the dove was his love and his love was all lies

** N.B.** This is not a song about me. While I am rather bitter, you don’t have to worry. I haven’t killed any doves…yet.

Kim's opera was RATHER amusing...if you asker nicely, maybe she'll post it. ---and yes the note at the bottom was included in the copy i turned into my teacher.

Rosencrantz - "Shouldn't we be doing something consructive?"
Guildenstren - "What did you have in mind...?"
                      "A short blunt pyramid...?"

from "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead"
by Tom Stoppard

i'm not sure if it's more painful
to watch
with the knowledge that there is nothing i can do

or the knowledge that there is nothing i can say

***

it just hurts

in case you were wondering

i have had the weight of the world on my shoulders recently

for once there is not a quote that i can find to explain or express how or what i'm feeling so here it is in all its beautiful randomness...
the Quote of the Week

"The most common error made in the matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possiblility, you are not attractive-- you are leaking."

- Fran Lebowiz

it appears that leaving the boro for warmer places causes people to forget

and i've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
so we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking
cause what they're thinking...

she's so pretty but she but doesn't always act that way
her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost every day
she said to me that she's so stressed out that it's soothing
and all i said was "someone get that girl a mood ring"

cause when it's black (it) means watch your back because you're probably
the last person in the world right now she wants to see
and when it's blue it means that you should call her up immediately
and ask her out because she'll most likely agree
and when it's green it simply means that she is really stressed
and when it's clear it means she's completely emotionless (and that's all right i must confess)

we all know the girls that i am talking about
she liked you wednesday but now it's friday and she has to wash her hair
and it just figures that we'll never figure them out
first she's jekyll and then she's hyde....at least she makes a lovely pair

mood ring oh mood ring
oh tell me will you bring
the key to unlock this mystery
of girls and their emotions
play it back in slow motion
so i may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind

ok so it's a the majority of a relient k song....... but hey.... check out the pics from this weekend!
