My friend is a violent violet
Who sheds crimson in her path
The little white souls
Retreat to little black holes
When the sky clouds in gray with her wrath
Myself, I’m more of a blue girl
Who occasionally shows a teal fleck
When my yellow shows
Mr. Maize knows
My creative green is the suspect

A few days ago Bluemoo, the patron saint of humor here at Xanga, posted a pic of a squirrel drinking beer … today on campus I actually saw a squirrel eating a Butterfinger … how bizarre is that? I guess everyone gets a chocolate craving now and then … 😉
The following is from an email I got called “Mom’s Best Advice“. Even though I got it almost two years ago, I keep it posted by my desk and re-read it often. I think there is a lot to look at in this … I know I personally get so caught up in the daily grind I forget to do some of these things … enjoy.

We’ll see how brave you are
we’ll see how fast you’ll be running
we’ll see how brave you are
yes, Anastasia.
Question …
What is your favorite sappy movie? Or, if you are like me and can’t narrow it down … what are your favorites???
Does anyone have tips for balancing a job, your first year of college and perhaps a relationship? (I need time to do laundry, too … disposable clothes are too expensive …) Thanks!
