Sunday Coffee

I escaped today, again! To the coffee house I found last weekend.

So here I sit on one of these same old couches again, looking out at the traffic and realizing this place makes me feel more like "me" than anyplace I've been in a very long time. I could just hang here for a long time, and probably would if I could get out more.

Feel like I swallowed a toad this weekend. I feel better for sure than I did last week. I have been thinking about just how bad I was feeling last week, and if that's not bottom, I really don't want to get there very bad.

I did sort of lose it with Small Son yesterday. He stayed in his room, I was going to make him eat dinner in his room, but I lost that battle because hubby didn't want to make him. He also went up last night and helped him clean his room. In the end, I was relieved and mad. Mad because after all that time with me spent trying to make a point, hubby ended up cleaning his room after all. I did sit small son down and tell him though, that his destruction of my house was going to end or he would be spending every day in his room. I think he understood, I hope so, because he really is a great kid.

I spent a great deal of time cleaning my own room yesterday, vacuuming the heater vents, the baseboard, under the bed, Oiling all the wood on the furniture, and trying to get some of the clutter and ickiness out of there that has made it nearly crippling for me. I think I pretty much succeeded, as I slept really well last night. I did wake up in the middle of the night without being able to go back to sleep, so I watched Mama Mia on my new iPod and then finally went back to sleep.

Some older guy just started playing really pretty acoustic guitar, and it is just so pleasant in here. The energy is good. Lots of older people.

OK, enough of that.

I can't seem to get enough of ARay singing Romeo and Juliet. There is this one particular version on YouTube, that I was able to import into my iPod via "Videobox". I love that program by the way, it lets you convert Youtube video's into iTunes. Back to ARay, something about her singing in this version, it just rips at me. It's not a very good video even. There is someone standing in the way, and people laughing in the background, but when she says "Ah Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry"....OMG.....I get a pit in my stomach.

What can I say? Sometimes her voice just makes me go weak in the knee's, tummy and brain. Take a listen for yourself.
