In 2010....

Young and full of runnin'

Tell me where has that taken me?

Just a great figure eight

Or a tiny infinity.

Love is really nothing

But a dream that keeps wakin' me.

For all of my trying

We still end up dying.

How can it be?

Don't say a word, just come over

And lie here with me.

Because I'm just about to set fire

To everything I see.

I want you so bad

I'll go back on the things I believe.

There I just said it.

I'm scared you'll forget about me.

So young and full of runnin'

All the way to the edge of desire.

Steady my breathing,

Silently screaming.

I have to have you now.

Wired,

And I'm tired.

Think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor.

Then maybe this mattress,

Will spin on it's axis

And find me on yours.

Don't say a word, just come over

And lie here with me.

Because I'm just about to set fire

To everything I see.

I want you so bad,

I'll go back on the things believe.

There I just said it.

I'm scared you'll forget about me.

"Edge of Desire"-John Mayer

4th of July

What an AMAZING weekend I just had! I, along with 4 friends, went to my hometown of Prescott, AZ for one of the best Independence Day weekends I've ever had! We camped in Lower Wolf Creek on Friday night and I can't tell you how heavenly it was to fall asleep under a blanket of stars, breathing in the delicious pine-scented mountain air. Had Quincy not been snoring like a chainsaw, the evening would've been 100% perfect. The next night, we rented a room at a...shall we say...budget-friendly motel? Make that EXTREMELY budget friendly. Katie was actually denied an extra towel and the shower curtain ended 1 inch above the ledge of the bathtub, allowing water to pour over and flood the floor every time someone showered! I normally would NEVER settle for such accommodations, but this was literally the only motel with vacancy left in town! Needless to say, we'll be reserving a room at The Prescott Resort MONTHS in advance next year. The night ended well though, with all of us having a blast at the rodeo dance and out on the town! I was especially happy to run into many familiar faces...I LOVE PRESCOTT! Another plus about this past weekend was really getting to spend time with my friend Katie. She is HILARIOUS! I can't believe we've all only known her for 8 months! Thank heavens Quincy met her...she makes all of our lives a little sweeter...and spicier! Ciao for now!

And so begins this...um... journey?

Yay! I'm a blogger! I'll admit, I was openly critical about this whole blogspot thing when my boss (Dr. Chris Drew) told me about it. I mean, what more could a person need than a MySpace or Facebook profile for their online representation/networking needs? Dr. Drew explained that a blog was a bit more family appropriate and a great way to keep your family and social circle connected. Well, curiousity got the best of me and before I knew it, I began cyber-stalking The Drew Crew, Aaron&Melissa Kleiner, and even their various friends and relatives! I became addicted to peering into the way people live their lives, direct their choices, decorate their spaces, and interact with their loved ones. MySpace, Facebook, Twitter...they're all great for presenting an amped-up, polished facade to the online world, but those profiles tend to be trite. There is a depth and honesty to these blogs that reeled me in. I'm going at this alone because literally NOT ONE SOUL in my social circle or family is doing this and I really don't know anyone in the "blogesphere" other than those I mentioned previously. I'm not LDS, I'm not married, and I'm not a mom or aspiring mom, so maybe I don't have a whole lot in common with those I've been following. I do, however, have a good heart and I'm drawn to the beauty in this life. My fascination with travel, fashion, and food will be evident in my blogs, but my satisfaction in the small pleasures will also be notable. Meeting my bestie Buffy at Coffee Rush, watching Marc grill steaks with rapt concentration, hearing my parents talk about their early days of marriage, reading about the 1920s while lounging in the window seat of the Prescott Public Library, monsoons in Sedona...these are some of the small things I cherish. I'd be delighted and honored if you came along for the ride.
