Winter Song

This is my winter song to you. The storm is coming soon. It rolls in from the sea.

My voice, a beacon in the night. My words will be your light, to carry you to me.

Is love alive? Is love alive? Is Love....

They say that things just cannot grow. Beneath the winter snow, or so I have been told.

They say we're buried far. Just like a distant star, I simply cannot hold.

Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?

This is my winter song. December never felt so wrong. 'Cause you're not where you belong: inside my arms.

I still believe in summer days. The seasons always change. And life will find a way.

I'll be your harvester of light. And send it out tonight. So we can start again.

Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?

This is my winter song. December never felt so wrong. 'Cause you're not where you belong: inside my arms.

This is my winter song to you. The storm is coming soon. It rolls in from the sea.

My love, a beacon in the night. My words will give you light, to carry you to me.

Give me a break! Give me a break!

It's finally Christmas Break!!! Well it will be tonight around midnight when I finish grading and entering physiology final exams!  Love my job :) Had so much fun at a TA grading party Friday night. Then a date to Zoo Lights last night. If you haven't gone, you should! It's fun. I can't wait for family fun time Thursday and Friday. It will be board game awesomeness. Ummm not sure what else to write about. Can you tell I am procrastinating my grading? My finals went very very well and now it is just a waiting game for final grades. Still have a smidgen of Christmas shopping to do but lots of wrapping. Plan for the week is: grading today/tonight, a Winter solstice party tomorrow, a Christmas party Tuesday, a Party and our football bowl game Wednesday (Go UTES!), and Christmas family fun Thursday and Friday! Woot. 
Love the Holidays.

Can I get an Ohm?

I went running after class tonight to ease my troubled brain. My chakras are all out of whack. Es lo no bueno. I know this because I have been hacking up a lung ever since I got back. It was supposedly around 10 degrees when I went. It's about 3 now. I didn't start to get cold until I was doing my "cool down" hehe, a walk around our block. Note to self: Invest in ice clamps for my nikes. Another note to self: Get better running shoes. Basically, I need a good massage and a good dose of me time. I hope I get a yoga class pass for christmas.

And So It Begins

Less than two weeks until my last final. And my first one in 5 days. I think I may die from anatomy...It's slowly swelling my brain with useless information. The only good thing about anatomy lab right now involves a cute young man with dreads.

On a happier note it is now December. and I like December. December means phone calls from missionaries. December means beautiful scenery. December means family fun time. And December means I can finally take a break.

Holly jumped into this position waiting for the ride to grandma's for thanksgiving! When Tony picked them up off the freeway she jumped right in his car and in to this position too, but she hasn't done it until now. She's such a funny dog, love her :)

Buddy and Holly wanted to help me with my pictorial writing project on Yoga poses...Holly had trouble focusing her chi.
