Dont make me come to PHOENIX
Dont make me pull you
Out of his bed
I am vigilant
That it will not be you
On the menu he's serving
Up for his friends

Dont make me come to PHOENIX
Dont make me pull him
Out of your head
Athena will attest
That it could be done
And it has been done
And I think that I am up to it

And the jacaranda tree
Shes telling me of
The trouble you're in
Just by the way
She bends
Remember dancing
And wondering
As you were swaying
What kind of woman you'd be
What will be will be
Over my dead body

Slip through your hand again and again
Slip through your hand again and again

{{{{HUGS, Honey}}}}

-Mike

In true Tori tradition

iieee iieee iieee aaaaah
iieee iieee iieee aaaaah

yeah
ya da da da da da da

With your E's
And your ease
And I do one more

iieee iieee iieee

Need a lip gloss boost
In your America

iieee iieee iieee

Is it Gods?
Is it yours?
Sweet saliva

iieee iieee iieee

With your E's
And your ease
And I do one more

I know we're dying
And there's no sign of a parachute
We scream in cathedrals
Why can't it be beautiful?
Why does there
Gotta be a sa sa sacrifice
Gotta be a sa sa sacrifice?

iieee iieee iieeeaaaa
iieee iieee iieeeaaaa

Just say yes
You little arsonist
You're so sure you can save
Every hair on my chest
Just say yes
You little arsonist

With your E's
And your ease
And I do one more

With your E's
And your ease
And I do one more

yeah
ya da da da da da da

Well I know we're dying
And there's no sign of a parachute
In this Chapel
Little chapel of love
Can't we get a little grace
And some elegance?
No we scream in cathedrals
Why can't it be beautiful?
Why does there
Gotta be a sa sa sacrifice?
Uhhh Gotta be a sa sa sacrifice?
Gotta be a sa sa sacrifice?

Ah my Tori friends.

Thank you for the songs......I was in need of music thearpy. And Katie...good to see you hon. You are looking fab.

Just to clarify, D did not leave me, I asked him to leave. He did take the car stating legally I could not stop him and he was right. He said that he couldnt control me breaking up with him and so I couldn't control that he was taking the car....nice huh?

My wonderful brother flew me out to Utah for my grandpas funeral. I couldn't drive I'm just so pissed. I had the trade in. I made the down payment and half if not all of all the payments and I can't even borrow my own car????

but ya know what???

Life is good. Life is so good. One of my best friends is crashing here and SHE has a car. It does indeed take a village and I am building my village.
For the first time, in years, maybe even forever. I am happy.

Amazingly utterly happy

I believe it was around 10.00 to rent each tube. We rented an extra tube and put the cooler in it. Now we are talking four girls here so we brought everything you could possibly need. We had so much stuff we got stuck in a whirlpool for a while.

But yes,
You are gonna need a lot of water. LOTS of sunblock. I liberally applied spf 50 all day long. The only thing that turned lobster red were my feet. I forgot to spray them after I kicked off my water shoes.

Oh and I almost forgot. Bring an old sheet to tie around each tube. It gets really hot if you don't.

It was good times.

I'm glad it's just you and your daughter. Just like old times eh??

I'll have to text you when I'm not at work. There is a lot going on.

P!
I have missed so many of your posts, but I am THRILLED at how your life is slowing making a difference in the right direction. "Love is a many splendoured thing". May you thrive in happiness and take onboard a decent supply and spares of self-love. What you have enough of you can give away, so here is to wishing you plenty!
I am sorry for your loss of your Grandfather - presumably he was around to have witnessed so much of your growing up and seeing you choose your way. A big stone fallen from the family wall. And brilliant too that you have a kind and helpful brother - helps to strengthen family ties.
Strong of you to call the shots and push "D" out - even though it sucks materially. Here's to you and your continued soar to freedom!
Cheers,
Vim
