Right Now

Right now......I'm totally enjoying the Twilight Soundtrack and Pink's new CD "Funhouse". Both CD's instill completely different emotions when I listen to them. Twilight makes me feel mellow, a bit romantic and fills my head with visions of scenes from the movie. It is probably one of my favorite movie soundtracks of all time (after Grease, of course). Funhouse is a collection of songs Pink wrote as her marriage fell apart. It is a mix of sadness, blame, self loathing, promise of change, and typical Pink craziness rolled into one CD. It actually makes me sad if I listen to it straight thru so I try to jump around to my favorite upbeat songs so I don't get too depressed and run my car off the road.

Right now.....I am wishing for the stupid ice storm to hit so I can stay home tomorrow. Not feeling 100% and would love a good day snuggled up in the house watching tv.

Right now.....I am totally enjoying my totally clean house. We had the carpets cleaned yesterday and with the maids coming every two weeks - my house has not been this totally clean in years (at least since E was born). There is guilt in having someone clean your house but I have to let go and just enjoy it. It wasn't getting done to my satisfaction otherwise since I'm rarely home and there are not enough hours on the weekends w/ everyone else in my family out of the house for me to clean it to perfection. I was wearing myself out trying to squeeze in a little cleaning here and there. Merry Maids is fabulous and I highly recommend them!

Right now....I am enjoying my children at their current ages. A fascinates me with her intellegence, optimism, concern for the environment, fashion sense, humor, love of life, and

compassion for others. I love that she's at an age where we can share the same interest in movies, music and books (Twilight)!!

And E's joy for life, the way he looks at me when he's happy about something I said, his never ending amount of energy, the silly faces he makes, the way his hair smells whether he's clean or dirty. Right now....they bring me much joy.
