Day 352 Oct.4 2011

I don't want to call today a disappointing day, but it is the day after a pretty big high.  Nothing bad happened, just kind of an odd day.  I did get two highly anticipated packages in the mail.  


The paleo thing has kind of taken over (in a good way!) and I'm now getting into the world of essential oils and straying from using anything with chemicals in it...I'm not going to get crazy with it (maybe).  But it seems like a rather simple and easy transition...and why wouldn't I want the healthiest things for my family?  Anyway, so package #1 was my "Complete Book of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy" :)  I got it used for $7...it covers everything from how to treat bruises and scrapes to labor pains.  And when I say everything, that includes cooking, cleaning, things for your pets, hair care, skin care, perfume, sanitation...it's amazing.  I'm in love.  Yes again with another book...I have a thing for books it seems...books and bald men ;-).


Package #2 was the (insert trumpet fanfare) Diamond Edition of The Lion King in Blu-Ray & DVD!  I'm impressed it released to stores today, and it arrived in our mail box today as well.  Not sure if that was planned or not, but I'm kind of geeked.  Granted, I'm waiting to watch it with Caitlin until Disney Movie Lover #3 will be able to watch it with us.  Still, it's in the house and I'm excited :)


Speaking of that 3rd person...heard this song today by one of our favorite bands.  Love you Sweetheart, see you soon :)   

I'll be the grapes fermented

Bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit

Like a perfect gentlemen

I'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the ancient brick

Where you will sit and contemplate your day

I'll be the waterwings that save you if you start drowning

In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink

I'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite

Albums back as your lying there drifting off to sleep...

I'll be the platform shoes and undo what heredity's done to you

You won't have to strain to look into my eyes

I'll be your winter coat buttoned and zipped straight to the throat

With the collar up so you won't catch a cold

I want to take you far from the cynics in this town

And kiss you on the mouth

We'll cut out bodies free from the tethers of this scene

Start a brand new colony

Where everything will change

We'll give ourselves new names (identities erased)

The sun will heat the grounds

Under our bare feet in this brand new colony

Everything will change...
