Time to chillax...

The boss and I needed a break,
so we packed up...
our friends
and headed to Gatlinburn, TN.

To "Ahhh...The View" cabin
which was pronounced "awl" the view
by the owner.
And the view was nice...when the weather cooperated.

Of course, most of the weekend looked like this...
Scooby Doo's playground

Luckily we had two
weather channel monitors...

And finally the weather turned,
just as we started back home...

No matter...it was a lovely time away
with my best friend...
Sometimes we need to get away from the everyday
to remember the "awl"
of this magnificent world.

I lost my cool points...

because Amazon delivered this today…

Yeah, I know.
I did see the movie in the theater several months ago and was not that impressed.
But watching it the second time was better…maybe because I didn’t have two teenage girls letting out a little hormone-driven giggles every time Robert Pattenson spoke…moved…took a breath on screen.

But take another look… Okay, crisis averted – I may have just retained my one and only cool point.

Whew!

I finally splurged on the Across The Universe soundtrack!
I L-O-V-E that movie.
It’s truly trip-tastic.
And I still get chills every time it gets to this part.

Sometimes I need a little depth...

i debated, 
but in the end…
keeping this blog filled 

with 
surface level
thoughts
is just 

not 
me.
i have been through far 

too much.
life is 

beautiful
and 

painful.
and I am lucky 

to be alive
and 

feel 
alive
every 

day.
to the 

churched 
i am not 
Christian 
enough,
and to the

un-churched
i am 
too religious.
in the end, 

neither opinion 
matters.
i am 

what 
i am.
religiously unreligious
a faithful believer

forever accepting
never settling
always seeking...
