Can I tell you how much I love my friend Jen?

Girl,

You are such an inspiration and an amazing lady. I can not thank you enough for this. It is as beautiful as Peyton! I have been so lucky to meet you on 2Peas and feel like you are a IRL friend. I don't think of you as some unknown person out there in computer land, I think of you as a sweet, funny, smart and very talented friend of mine. I hope this is a friendship that can last a lifetime. I can not wait to be able to show this to Peyton. She is going to be so happy and she will LOVE the flowers. I will be sure to have her "Thank you" in her own way. Thank you again and have a wonderful day. Luv you :)

Ohh, the influence I have on my daughter...

Yes, I have a passion to scrap and yes I love to be creative and have always been a little "artsy". Did I think this would rub off on my daughter, well yes. Did I think that by the age of 4 she would to to scrap as much as me, not really. This girl cracks me up. She does have her own scrapbook now and she loves to stamp in it and color in it and even cut (with kids sissors, of course) and paste paper onto it. I love it, it is so stinkin' cute. Yesterday, she brought me a picture that she colored and there was some jolee's halloween stickers at the bottom of the paper and she actually took Travis' golf tee and poked it thru the paper where the girl's necklace was, as if it was a brad. Can you believe this little girl?? I about died. She picks up on so much, I truely believe that she will be an artist....or an actress (because she if very dramatic)...or, you know what, I believe this girl could be the first woman president! And I am not just saying this because I am her mom, well, ok maybe I am :)

Lyrics to Memory Lane from Elliott Smith.

memory lane

this is the place
you'll end up when
you lose the chase
where you’re dragged against your will
from a basement on the hill
and all anybody knows is
you're not like them
and they kick you in the head
and send you back to bed
isolation pulled you pass a tunnel to a
bright world where you can make a place to stay
but everybody's scared of this place
they're staying away
your little house on memory lane
the mayor's name is fear
his force patrols the pier
from a mountain of cliche
that advances everyday
the doctor spoke a cloud
he rained out loud
you’ll keep your doors and windows shut
and swear you'll
never show a soul again
but isolation pushes you ‘til every muscle aches
down the only road it ever takes
but everybody's scared of this place
they're staying away
your little house on memory lane
if it's your decision
to be open about yourself
be careful or else
be careful or else
uncomfortable apart
it's all written on my chart
and i take what's given to me
most cooperatively
i do what people say
and lie in bed all day
absolutely horrified
i hope you're satisfied
isolation pushes past self hatred, guilt and shame
to a place where suffering is just a game
but everybodys scared of this place
they're staying away
your little house on memory lane
your little house on memory lane


Don't really know why I am posting this, but I love this song and it does contain the tittle of my blog! Does anyone know how I can put this song on my blog? I don't even know if it is possible. I am ready for a little change! Have a good day y'all
