I am a fool.
I am a toy for your amusement.
I am something to be played with.
I am at your beck and call.
No more.

My song this week
I have enjoyed listening to this song ever since I heard it off the House soundtrack some time last year. A few month back it gained even more significance to me. Since I became a mom the only two people in this world I have ever sung to sleep are my two little girls. No, they are the only two I have ever sung to sleep until a few month ago. It was just a moment in my life that came and went, but I remember it every time I hear this song and it makes me smile.
"See The World"
Day to day
Where do you want to be?
'Cos now you're trying to pick a fight
With everyone you need
You seem like a soldier
Who's lost his composure
You're wounded and playing a waiting game
In no-man's land no-one's to blame
See the world
Find an old fashioned girl
And when all's been said and done
It's the things that are given, not won
Are the things that you earned
Empty handed, surrounded by a senseless scene
With nothing of significance
Besides a shadow of a dream
You sound like an old joke
You're worn out, a bit broken
Asking me time and time again
And the answer's still the same
See the world
Find an old fashioned girl
And when all's been said and done
It's the things that are given, not won
Are the things that you earned
You've got a chance to put things right
So how's it going to be?
Lay down your arms now
And put us beyond doubt
So reach out it's not too far away
Don't mess around now, don't delay
And for good measure.....
"Walter Reed"
I count the cases piled up high
For the 1:15.
For platform and for passerby
It's the same routine.
I'm ranting while I’m raving,
There's nothing here worth saving.
Tell me now, what more do you need?
Take me to Walter Reed tonight.
Baby I've lost the will for fighting
Over everything.
Well there's a few things I gotta say
And make no mistake, I'm mad…
'Cause every good thing I've had
Abandoned me.
All I want to do is hide.
It's graduation day
And everything I learned inside
Didn't seem to pay.
I've had my fill of palm trees
And lighting up Grauman's Chinese.
Tell me now, what more do you need?
Take me to Walter Reed tonight.
Baby I've lost the will for fighting
Over everything
And there's a few things I gotta say.
Make no mistake, I'm mad.
'Cause every good thing I had
Abandoned me.
A sad and lonesome me.
I'm the walking wounded
And I'd say it to your face
But I can't find my place.
So tell me now, what more do you need?
Take me to Walter Reed tonight.
Baby I've lost the will for fighting
Over everything
And there's a few things I gotta say.
Make no mistake, I'm mad
'Cause every good thing I had
Abandoned me.
A sad and lonesome me.
A sad and lonesome me.
A sad and lonesome me.
In my head and in my heart.

Neuschwanstein Castle
Another little weekend trip to the heart of Bavaria. It was a great time. The girls had a blast and so did I. 
Our ride up to the castle. It would have been a long walk and the girls would not have been up to it. 
They don't allow photos or video in the castle because of the copyright laws, but I took this near the gift store so I think it was allowed. Lugwig had a sincere affinity for swans. I heard he was gay. The decor was definitely fruity.
Espi on the walk down from the castle. We were gonna catch the little carriage back down the hill but they stopped running at 6pm. So we walked down and crashed at the hotel later.
The other castle near Neuschwanstein Castle, Hohenschwangau Castle. We did not go up there but it looked really neat from below.
Izabel and I swinging. The way the whole weekend went pretty much. Me smiling. My cheeks hurt by Sunday night.
Even on vacation mommy does the dishes.

Heidelberg
The girls and I took a trip to Heidelberg this past weekend. We had a blast. Stayed at a hotel right on the hauptstrasse (that's main street for all you Yanks) called the Hotel Bayerischer hof. And we had ice cream twice in one day. Yes, they were that good.
The girls being goofy with the castle in the background.
I found this last time I was in Heidelberg but didn't have my camera. It is on the stairs leading up to a museum/art gallery. Love it. I want to duplicate that in a photo. Just need a picture taker.
On the hauptstrasse doing a bit of shopping at the farmer's market.
The view of the city from the castle.
Gorgeous place and a short walk up to the castle and all the shopping you could want.
We also stopped by my favorite fabric place here in Germany. The Arts and Craft Store on PHV. I only spent about $50 but most of it was half off sales. And I got some nice prints to make a few gifts for some chicas that have been most awesome while Leon has been gone. More pictures forth coming but work is kickin my butt right now so this will have to do for now. This weekend we are headed to Neuschwanstein Castle in the heart of Bavaria I'm already packed! Does that tell you how excited I am?

Song of The Week
What is life without music?? I listen to all different kinds and some you may have heard before, some you may have not. But on here I want to share a song I really like or one that I can totally rock out to in the car or both. This is gonna be an every week thing cause my life would be so boring without music to listen to. In the car, in the shower/tub, while sewing, cooking, cleaning, gardening (yes, the outside work has begun in earnest). This week I'm doing dishes rockin out to this song over and over again.
Check it out here or buy it here legally for 9 cents :D.....
Melissa Etheridge "Like The Way I Do"
Is it so hard to satisfy your senses
You found out to love me you have to climb some fences
Scratching and crawling along the floor to touch you
And just when it feels right you say you found someone else to hold you
Does she like I do
Baby,
Tell me does she love you like the way I love you
Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you
Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you
Like the way I do
Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you
Does she know just how to shock electrify and rock you
Does she inject you seduce you and affect you
Like the way I do
Can I survive all the implications
Even if I tried could you be less than an addiction
Don't you think I know their's so many others
Who would beg steal and lie fight kill and die
Just to hold you hold you like I do
Baby,
Tell me does she love you like the way I love you
Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you
Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you
Like the way I do
Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you
Does she know just how to shock electrify and rock you
Does she inject you seduce you and affect you
Like the way I do
Nobody loves you like the way I do
Nobody wants you like the way I do
Nobody needs you like the way I do
Nobody aches nobody aches just to hold you
Like the way I do
Tell me does she love you like the way I love you
Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you
Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you

My addiction
It was Christmas in April last week. I got new socks. A lot of new socks. My favorite website for sock buying is here. I was recently told about this place. I'm in sock heaven. There is no 12 step program for my addiction.
Here are some of my favorites...
These pictures tend to be rather popular on Flickr. If you found me through my sock pictures let me know!!

Quantum of Solace vs. Gone In 60 Seconds
I am away for the weekend with the girls so I will make this short, well kinda. I recently got into a debate on which chase scene is the best in a movie. Up for the award is the opening scene from Quantum of Solace or the chase scene with Eleanor ('67 Shelby) in Gone in 60 Seconds (the remake, not the original). The chase scene in Bullitt with Steve McQueen (a '68 Fastback) was mentioned, but as much as I like Steve I LOVE how Nicolas Cage sweet talks his Eleanor. Other notables are the car chase in The French Connection and a new but probably not as well known car chase in Deathproof.
Having been the only one to see both (and I was the only girl there so that is saying a lot) I had the only opinion that was relevant. My current favorite is hands down, Daniel Craig, the NEW AND MOST BADASS James Bond. The car. The bullets flying. And that look on his face....cool, calm, totally in control. BADASS!!!
Now click on all those damn links it took me a while to find and tell me your opinion....

Movie Review
I am not a chick flicky kind girl. But the other night I was in a mood and got "Nights in Rodanthe."
I was recently teased that I relate movies to my own life while watching Zach and Miri Make a Porno. I do. One of my quirks. Such a wonderful story about love and loss and remembering. Timing. Perfect Timing.
Towards the end there is a scene where Diane Lane is talking to her daughter. She says,"There is a love that makes you think anything is possible. I want you to know that you can have that. I want you to know that you deserve it."
I wish my mom had said that to me when I was younger. I wish my mom had given me any advice at all when it comes to boys, relationships, or love. I imagine it is because she herself settled. My dad is great, a wonderful man, provider, and dad, but I never saw a lot of affection between them. Not too many hugs, kisses, or the like. And not a lot directed towards us kids either.
This movie takes place on the Outer Banks, NC. I loved the house and googled it to see if it really was a B&B since I'm looking for a beach location to visit when I R&R back to the states in August. Unfortunately, the house was destroyed during a recent storm and is uninhabitable. But the area is beautiful. I'll put Rodanthe on my list of maybes along with Orchard Beach, ME and Rehobeth Beach, MD. I want to walk along the beach with the sand in between my toes and the love that makes me think anything is possible.
Until then I'll wait.
