Heeeee! Ladies and gentlemens, it’s the …

Grooooovy, man. I am in a Stones kinda mood today for some odd reason. I think it’s because I have been hearing my husband firing off this song on the saxophone for the past week … and now it’s drilled into my head … ~laughs~ … he has now joined another band! That makes one gospel band, one blues band, one jazz band … and now a rock band! LOL! Do you wonder why I have a second life? So do I, sometimes! I could be out partaying like a maniac, you know. Actually just watching the women melt at his feet is kind of fun, too! ~rolls eyes~

Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around

Its down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come,
Shes under my thumb

Aint it the truth babe?

Under my thumb
The squirmin dog whos just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways

Its down to me, yes it is
The way she does just what shes told
Down to me, the change has come
Shes under my thumb
Ah, ah, say its alright

Under my thumb
A siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
Shes the sweetest, hmmm, pet in the world

Its down to me
The way she talks when shes spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
Shes under my thumb
Ah, take it easy babe
Yeah

Its down to me, oh yeah
The way she talks when shes spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
Shes under my thumb
Yeah, it feels alright

Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb, well i
I can still look at someone else

Its down to me, oh thats what I said
The way she talks when shes spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
Shes under my thumb
Say, its alright.

Say its all…
Say its all…

Take it easy babe
Take it easy babe
Feels alright
Take it, take it easy babe

The mood of late

I think I am suffering from a bout of end-of-semester malaise … a good thing, actually, a sort of of calm before the storm, I think. I have so many tasks and projects I need to get started (and finished) in both lifes, as always, but am feeling a little depleted at the moment. (Just a little!) That always signals time needed for rejuvenation. Oh, and I love that, you know. Real life fills me up … and the weather now is just so stunning. I am looking forward to being “in” it.

… and, I am swept up in Maria Callas at the moment … ~laughs~ … bet you had no idea that I totally love opera!

Well, I do …

I am oh so slightly goofy … !

Happy Mother’s Day! ~winks~, originally uploaded by Arteer.

But still, Happy Mother’s Day!

I am having 20 people over today, yet still manage to find time for a few minutes of a second life! LOL! One of my friends (who I know reads my blog) is likely having a fit right now! Heeeeeeee! Okay! I AM going now to make my famous Mother’s Day Meatballs!

Oh. BTW … I got the music. Wow! Thank you. That is amazingly powerful stuff. I love it, baby. Never too old, or too young, to enjoy the sound of Celtic voices in harmonic convergence.

Uhmmhmmmmmm. Yes, baby! Crank. It. Up.

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame

You say one love, one life (one life)
It’s one need in the night
One love (one love), get to share it
Leaves you darling, if you don’t care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it’s too late, tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We’re one, but we’re not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One…

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head

Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it’s all I got
We’re one, but we’re not the same
Well we, hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is the higher law
You ask me to enter
Well then you make me crawl
And I can’t be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters and my
Brothers
One life
But we’re not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One…
One love

a simple philosophy

~laughs~ True. True. Alice Arteer Me

a simple philosophy, originally uploaded by Arteer.

Oh yeah.

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won’t be afraid
No I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
No I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darling, darling stand by me
Stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

I am continually wow’d by my second life nearly every day. Even after almost two years! How cool is that? I haven’t been able to spend much time inworld lately … just in bits and spurts. Looking forward to have extended time to build … hurry up end-of-school!
