SHOP.CA AND RANDOM THOUGHTS

It just dawned on me that if I am planning on buying things online for xmas I had best get to it.  We are thrift store shopping for the main present this year but I always do a big giant full of presents stocking for each of them.  Those, I am not getting at the thrift store. 

My fave site to go to is shop.ca…mostly cuz its fast and the shipping is free!  And then when the stuff starts rolling in its so much fun!

Have you tried Meyer lemons?  I bought some at Costco and they are so damned delicious.  I can actually eat them straight up.  They are sharp but not sour, kind of sweet.  I have started to squeeze that stuff on everything. 

I love love love my new kitchen.  Bradley and Aryn have worked so hard on it and other than the electrical and countertops its almost finished.  Bradley is coming back on Monday to finish up some of it.  He has a fellow that works for him when they are busy.  He is available right now and will come to the house (he lives in Victoria) and do all the things us non-handymen can't do.  Such a relief.

I'm hitting the piano once again.  I found an awesome, missing for a long time, stack of music books.  A couple of them I used to play from but the pieces were really tricky and hard so I am reacquainting myself with them and believe me, its not like riding a bicycle!!!  Pretty soon it won't just be Monte playing the piano at gatherings!!  And I will have moved on past 'Hallelujah'!!

Well its almost one in the morning.  I shall post another poem…its slow going getting to the better ones.  Sorry.  Don't read it.  TTYL

HUNGER

Hunger is invasively powerful

It can motivate, debilitate,  instigate

all consuming, all exhuming

anger fear it permeates

I cry, I writhe, I whimper, I scream

the need I feel is beyond the dream

I grasp, I grovel, I fall to the ground

one little crumb I have not found

my mind grows weaker

my body shrivels

reaper is waiting

I am even meeker

I am controlled, I am confused

my will is unpowered and I am used

no more compelling  the enemy within

this is a battle I will not win
