Naughty or Nice?

BELIEVE

Underneath my kitchen sink, the faucet started to leak. I investigated and sure enough, a washer-ringy thing broke. So, not a big deal. Just get a new one and all should be well... WELL, we did get a new washer-ringy thing, but as I tried to replace it, I snapped the pcp pipe. That was in October. I'm not sure why I've waited so long to fix it. Perhaps roaming endlessly down Home Depot aisles was enough to keep me at bay, but I think more than anything, I didn't BELIEVE I could fix it. Today, as I was trying to deal with Mr. One Sink Wonder, I had enough. I grabbed the broken pipe & babes in tote and we were at the big orange square in no time. And it wasn't that bad. We found the faucet repair aisle (it's really called that) and I compared my pipe with a few other bad boys & I found the match. It took 3 minutes and $2.50 later to find myself under my kitchen sink. Never mind Sophia coloring on the kitchen floor, have you looked under your sink lately? It's a crazy mess, but I was determined. Ella supplied me with words of encouragement and when I finally thought I got all the parts back where they belonged... we ran the water and Mr. Two Sinks was back! It's appropriate that I purchased a red BELIEVE decor a few weeks back. It's residing on my kitchen table or maybe it should go hang out with the sink... because I learned a valuable lesson today. BELIEVE in Santa, ok... that's good. But BELIEVE in self, that's priceless. And speaking of christmas, as a present to self, I think I'll make an ornament out of the old pipe, just as a reminder to

The unpacking blues

tell me now if you came sneaking up behind
would you know me and see behind the smile
I can change like colors on the wall
hoping no one else will find what lies beneath it all
I think I had it all so well
stepping out everyone can see my face
all the things I can’t erase from my life
everybody knows
standing out so you wont forget my name
that’s the way we play this game of life
everybody knows
looking through the crowd I search for something else
but every time I turn around I run into myself
here I stand consumed with my surroundings
just another day with everybody looking
I swore they’d never see me cry
you say I’ll pay the price
that’s a chance that I’ll take
though you may think I’m telling lies

but I just call it getting by ~dixie chicks

Did you know?

marilyn & I go way back
