Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt
You're in my heart now
Said, woman, take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
And we come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(patience)
Mm, yeah
I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now
I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love
There's one more thing to consider
Said, woman, take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes
To make it, We won't fake it,
I'll never break it
'cause I can't take it
...little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
need a little patience, yeah
just a little patience, yeah
some more patience, yeah
need some patience, yeah
could use some patience, yeah
gotta have some patience, yeah
all it takes is patience,
just a little patience
is all you need *
I BEEN WALKIN' THE STREETS AT NIGHT
JUST TRYIN' TO GET IT RIGHT
HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY AROUND
YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE
BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD
AND THE STREETS DON'T CHANGE
BUT BABY THE NAME
I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME
'CAUSE I NEED YOU
YEAH, YEAH, BUT I NEED YOU
OO, I NEED YOU
WHOA, I NEED YOU
OO, ALL THIS TIME

Miami Classico Part Deux
Just a few snaps from my recent trip to see Christina. It was a pleasant time, made even more pleasant with a stay at her friend's condo at the Canyon Ranch. I became an instant fan of the spa. I would like to go again and take advantage of all the classes.

My Favorite New Find
www.lush.com
After spending a daunting, hot day at the theme park with my mom yesterday, we spent a few hours at the Florida Mall to meet up with my brother and girlfriend for a few hours. I was delighted, and undelighted at the same time, to find a store that I could spend endless amounts of money in. Yes, not good for the old pocket book. Lush has an assortment of naked, handmade cosmetics. I tried some of the bath fizzies, and the solid lotion. The lotion is made of shea butter and real chocolate. I want to really eat it. Good thing the closest one is at the Florida Mall. If there was a store in the Altamonte Mall, I'd never have any spare cash in my wallet.

It Was a Perfect Tuesday all around
I usually really, really like Tuesdays for the obvious reasons. One- I have the day off from work. Two- I spend it out in service. Three- It's not Monday or Wednesday. Haha. Today was especially nice. The group for service was nice and diverse, for a change. I didn't get a chance to work with Toby's sister from Pa, but I did get to go with Debbie on her study with Vivian.
It was such a nice and relaxing morning on the study. She actually made us green tea with fresh mint leaves. So good. I traded her some of my Good Earth Sweet and Spicy Red Tea for some herbs that I hope to not let die in the next few weeks. After the study she dug up some fresh mint and Mexican cilantro.
I really enjoy going on people's studies because it gives you further opportunities to learn about the human race. People are so different. It' nice to see things out of other people's key holes, if you know what I mean. This lady lives on a nice size of property behind our Kingdom Hall. The land is extremely flat and marshy. I was curious why Debbie wanted me to turn her side mirrors of her car in as we exited the car. "If you don't turn them in, the birds spend all morning looking at themselves in the mirror, and they just poop all over my car." "Oh, really? I never thought about that." The turning in of the mirrors didn't help. About 15 minutes into our study, Debbie sighs and points out that a blue bird was perched on her mirror as it was turned in. He left her a nice present down the side of her car.
Thirty minutes into the study, we were visited by a sandhill crane at Vivian's back door. He steadily pecked at her french doors until she excused herself to feed him some bread. Talk about a bunch of naughty, spoiled birds. NO wonder I don't like birds very much.
I was able to go to Miriam in the afternoon. It is so nice to sit with someone on a study and learn so much about them. She has lived such a full life. I always loved listening to her stories about Canada, the farm, having children and all the other fun stuff in life. I will miss her if she moves to Arkansas, but I am sure we'll keep in touch.
I finished the evening off with tacos and homemade mojitos, thanks to the fresh mint. I really hope tomorrow will be as much fun as today. I doubt it.

Roses and Orange Blossoms Make Pollen Sort of Worth It, Kinda......
So spring carries on. The allergies are in full effect. My nose feels like falling off every single morning. Hand me the Benadryl, stat. The more I rake in my yard, the more the leaves fall. I feel like I am engaging in what Judith Bissey calls "an exercise of futility." I could spend hours and hours complaining about all the allergy related things about spring. But that would take away from all the wonderful things that are too numerous.
The first thing that I love about this season is the intensity that everything bloomed. That probably explains why there is such an abundance of pollen. The color of the azaleas pops like an Andy Warhol painting, something I haven't seen in a long time. As I drove in service this afternoon, I saw the most beautiful patch of wisteria on a fence. It was the most lovely shade of purple.
The smells of spring are the best. I've discovered that my small puny tea rose bush has a talent that I never noticed before. I've never thought much about this unkempt bush of thorns. The thorns are rough, and it is tucked in a corner in my yard. It has produced buds and small roses for the last two years. They usually died before I could every enjoy or pick them. This year the bush produce 2 or 3 roses at a single time. I picked one the smell it and the odor almost floored me in a good way. The rose smelled like a sweet glass of cabernet savignon. This sad, bent over flower with leaves that folded in seemed less like a loser to me. I've already picked 4 flowers this week. I am going out to the edge of the yard everyday just to see if there are any more of my wine roses:)

Spring is here again
So we've wrapped up what has been considered one of the coldest winters in central Florida. Brrrrrrrr. Yes, it's nothing compared to what all my friends up north dealt with, but we've experienced one cold snap that didn't last for 3 weeks. The sleet and snow flurries were quite a treat. I really loved making the sleet man that lasted for almost two days on my patio.
I am so ready to dig my hands into the soil and really garden this year. Marigolds will go around the mailbox in the front. The front yard was a tad too sunny for the impatiens and they all melted away in the heat and cold last year. R.I.P., dear impatiens. You succumbed to my wrath of bad gardenership.
I am sad to say that I think my Ipod has bid adieu. I dropped it one too many times in the yard and it will not stay charged. I will have to work in the yard to the sound of the many song birds in my natural aviary.
I spotted two large nests in the tree on the west side of my yard. Perhaps it's the owls. Ah, the pair of owls are allowed to stay around, as long as they pay a blind eye to stray kittens in the woods as food.
Work has been strangely so busy. It is nice to have an extra set of hands. I have to remind myself constantly that my work at the vet's office is my avocation, not my vocation. I have to constantly remind myself to do my work and not be too involved in all the drama. It can be so hard to have the right attitude.
I have also decided to start taking Omega 3 Fatty acids and vitamins on a regular basis. Vitamins are a hard thing for me to keep up with. I cannot stand the taste of them. I always get a giggle from people when I tell them I must eat chewable. I am such a wimp about pills.
