"So live inside of your shades of gray..."

"And never mind the sunshine that I'll find."

Seriously now, the Weepies are quickly becoming one of my favoritest bands. I listen to them more than the Beatles, which is quite a feat.

Today I have mountains and valleys and rivers of homework, but at 1 I'm leaving for Amelia's and we're going thrift store shopping! So happy. Then it's back home for dinner and Pushing Daisies. And maybe a bit more homework. Aside from the latter, today will be fantastic.

My happy song for the moment....


All this beauty;
You might have to close your eyes
And slowly open wide
All this beauty;
We traveled all night
We drank the ocean dry
And watched the sun rise...

You can ask about it
But nobody knows the way
No bread-crumb trail
To follow through your days
It takes an axe sometimes
A feather in the sunshine
And bad weather
It's a matter of getting deeper in
Anyway you can

All this beauty;
You might have to close your eyes
And slowly open wide
All this beauty;
We traveled all night
We drank the ocean dry
And watched the sun rise...

I can see you're new, awake
Let me assure you, friend
Every day is ice cream and chocolate cake
And what you make of it
Let me just say
You get what you take
From it, so be amazed
Whenever you stop...
You gotta be brave.

All this beauty;
You might have to close your eyes
And slowly open wide
And watch the sun rise.

I just had a really depressing realization. Kate's going away to school next fall. Which means I'll be all alone at home... for 3 years. I can even express how much that makes me feel like crying. Unfortunately, my tear ducts don't agree and I never can cry when I feel like it. I feel jipped.

Oh well... off to the thrift store. That should cheer me up.
