"...and the world spins madly on" -the weepies

i love music. love the way a lyric can change your mood. or the way a new found favorite voice becomes a friend. i have an addiction to buying cd's. i'll even come home sometimes with cd's i already have. i fall in love with songs. amy is my partner in crime. we will obsess over songs. take trips to other states and only listen to the same one cd. have pretend relationships with lead singers. pretend their singing about us. i'll buy a cd for one song. amy will buy a t-shirt for one song. wait, that was a lie. she never actually bought the velvet revolver tee but i know she still wants it. i'll order a song on i*tunes only to go out the next day to buy the cd for the liner notes. we'll travel for miles...screaming babies in tow to see an indigo girls show. we'll have lengthy conversations about the lyrical genius that emily saliers truly is. i've got cases full of cd's i've listened to maybe once and cd's strewn (is that a word) all over the house, the car, my life* i love finding a secret new artist or album that everyone else is yet to appreciate...and then get very bitter when i hear say, "the weepies" on a car commercial or an episode of one tree hill. i wasn't going to tell amy that her new brandi carlile song-love had been blasted all over the previews for a recent greys anatomy episode, hoping that maybe she wouldn't watch it. i was not surprised when i got text from her that i'm sure was sent in a fit of rage. she'd seen the show. atleast they'd used it in good context, but still the song was no longer hers. i am a bit of a hypocrite though when it comes to this because last night watching my shows i heard a song and knew it was being sung to me. i ran upstairs to type in the lyrics and stumbled across a true gem. maria taylor. beautiful voice. simply said words. i'll go make the purchase today.
my cd case got stolen out of my car a few weeks ago. i'd just filled up my visor case with the albums i "needed" for the week. they took em all. probably only to throw them in the neighbors garbage can when they realized what they'd actually swiped. all my rosie's. my sarah's. a ton of mixed cds. iron and wine. some russian children's music, two newly purchased indigos. such a sad day. what a heartache! i am happy to report however that amy safely borrowed my christina/britney mix. it survived the heist. he!
i've had a lovely fabric filled week. i got to work right away on my comment treats! they got dropped in the mailbox yesterday and are on their way!

ashlee and i met up at gardner village on tuesday to spend my birthday gift certificate at pine needles. our project visions where squished when we realized after loading our boys into their carriers that it was closed for remodel. don't worry that didn't stop us. crazy ladies loaded up our babies again on wednesday in pretty much a BLIZZARD (yes, more snow in april)to go to the grand opening. i was in hog heaven with all the pretty prints and colors. fabrics i've only seen in my late night internet treks. i bought two lovely amy butler prints to make a bag and we both picked handfuls of quilters quarters in bold, fun boy colors to make the boys a quilt.

ash came over yesterday and we spent the day cutting out our squares and being friends. such fun. we had lunch at my other addiction, kneaders. i'll do anything for a turkey cranberry sandwich. max is such a good baby. he reminds me of lucas before he was mobile and his curiosity was three times the size as he is. max will just smile and coo and only gets a little nervous when lukey the bully tries to share his gigantic baseball mit.


lucas has two new best friends. first, i've been replaced by his dad. as soon as andrey comes homes and lucas can hear his voice off he goes to find him. his arms are attached to andrey's neck for the rest of the night. silly boy. his second new best friend is the outdoors. he'll stand by the door and cry his eyes out until one of us...preferably his dad, takes him outside. he'll come back in with freezing cold cheeks and cry by the door until andrey takes him out again. crazy kid. i love it.


oh! i see the mail lady. maybe today is the day a yummy mail/letter/package will come. have a good weekend my friends. peace.
