a white blank page

white blank page.

clean slate.

excuse me miss, but do you sell disinfectant for my brain?

something to comet and pine sol the doubt and bitten lip memories loitering in my head.

rejections of ...... the way life used to be.

the jolly and jolt of acting is losing its luster with each no and not right.

telephone silence slashing and slicing into my ever diminishing kettle of pluck and nerve.

BUT

don’t mistake me for dreary or bleak; the opposite rather.

yesterday was a task in wrangling my inappropriate giggle fits.

and each hour i'm given moments so hallmark it's amazing i don't walk around in a 24 hour cycle of blubbering ado.

a phone call with my aunt char, edith piaf at a cafe', a sparkly beret on ella, bird of paradise in morning yoga, a woo-hoo from one of my spin students, feeding the hungry, twirling, howling beasts, texts from my dad, dinner with my 'family', a kiss goodnite from my hunkiest.

a deluge of delights flooding my life.

shame on me if i choose not to recognize them.

so for now i've scoured the deep cornices of my cerebral cortex.

clogs, snags, hindrances begone!

at least until tomorrow....{a girl knows her limits}.

knaughty knickers!!!!!

i am twirling over these ruffly panties!!! you can buy them AND the matching corset (if you dare, you saucy kitten). i want a DOZEN, all in lavender. and then i want to prance around (behind closed doors of course) in my frilly pantaloons, edith piaf blasting, hair piled up in ringlets, sashaying my hips a here and a there.

dance with me?

Diggin' it ........

Fall colors, Fall wardrobes, Fall meals, Fall fragrance, I definitely get into my seasons. I even have a Fall soundtrack. Gone for the summer are my sultry Cowboy Junkies soothing away sunburns in pitch dark, under a swirling ceiling fan. Adieu to  fevered, fiery Edith Piaf blaring throughout the house on a Sunday morning as the sun sizzles us into a lazy day surrender. Ingrid Michaelson's newest album "Everybody" is perfect for the moodier, melancholic mornings of autumn, and the darker afternoons when a cup of Earl Grey tea is more inviting than a glass of lemonade. I must say this is a rare release where there isn't a single track i skip. There are definitely a few songs that I replay over and over again. "Soldier" is my favorite, and I devour it morning till night. I defy anyone NOT to like this song. This coming from the same girl who, as a freshman in high school, blew out her Sony Discman listening to Paula Abdul's "Rush Rush" ten thousand times  in a row.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpAao7nMhuc&feature=related]

My second favorite is the title track "Everybody." I put this one on, and the beasts and I have a rockin dance party. Hearing this tune, one can't help but grab three golden retrievers and twirl around the house like mad monkeys. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlFCfkyuQM0&feature=related]

Happy Romping to you and yours! Love, Irene
