Listening

Published by dee on May 4, 2006

You would think with all the hype and all of the posts that I have devoted to Pearl Jam lately, that I would be listening to the new cd non-stop.  You would think wrong.  For one thing, I still haven’t received my pre-ordered cd in the mail.  I’m starting to get a little bit pissed off about that, but that’s not why I’m not listening to them.  I did take advantage of the free download so I have the tracks.

The real reason I’m not listening to my beloved Pearl Jam is that after hearing Katherine McPhee’s rendition of "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" on AI the other night I can’t stop listening to K.T. Tunstall.  I discovered her a while back and immediately downloaded her cd through Rhapsody.  I listened to her non-stop for a couple of weeks until I finally had gotten my fill and could move on to other music. 

K.T. Tunstall’s voice is so soothing to me.  With all of the things going on in my life lately and the mood I have been in, listening to her just reaches in and warms me in ways that I can’t really explain.  I haven’t felt this way about a female singer since I first discovered Sarah McLachlan way back in high school (Thanks again, Manuel!).  She just does something for me.  She makes me feel when I would prefer to be numb.

Other Side Of The World

Published by dee on May 3, 2006

Over the sea and far away
She’s waiting like an Iceberg
Waiting to change,
But she’s cold inside
She wants to be like
the water,

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They’re one and the same
Just like water

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it’s too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You’re close enough to see that
You’re…. the other side of the world
to me

On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers
and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it’s too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You’re close enough to see that
You’re…. the other side of the world

Can you help me?
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can’t see me anymore

Then the fire fades away
most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it’s too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You’re close enough to see that
You’re…. the other side of the world
Ohh…. the other side of the world
You’re…. the other side of the world
To me.

~K.T. Tunstall~

A Necessary Distraction

Published by dee on May 3, 2006

I looked up lastnight to find Zach standing up on his own, with both hands occupied by his cup.  He wasn’t holding on to ANYTHING!  Fortunately I had the camera in my hand when he did it.  He has also been getting much more steady with the walking over the last few days.  It won’t be long now!

The Sound of Silence

Published by dee on May 2, 2006

I’m feeling off.  Not really depressed.  Certainly not happy.  Just off.  I’ve tried to keep up with things lately, but it’s not working.  Something is not right.  I am not right.  Little things make me feel good for a short time, but then the dark cloud re-surfaces.  I have no patience for other people.  I just want to be alone with my thoughts.

I know that most of these feelings come from the fact that I am very unhappy with my job and somewhat unhappy with my marriage right now.  I tried to talk to hubby about some of my ideas that would allow me to work from home and he pretty much just laughed it off.  He doesn’t encourage me.  He doesn’t believe that I can do it.  It terrifies me to even think about quitting my job, but it would be so beneficial for our family.  I wish he could see it the way I do.

At times like this I am so thankful that I have Zach.  He is what keeps me going.  He gives me purpose.  He makes me feel needed.  I worry that if hubby and I don’t get things worked out soon that it will end up hurting Zach and I don’t want that.  I am trying, but I’m not sure if I’m succeeding yet.

Who Needs Sleep?

Published by dee on May 1, 2006

After forcing myself not to write everything that popped into my head last week (because I would have spent every hour of every day blogging) now I am having writer’s block.  It might have something to do with Zach waking up about every two hours lastnight and the amount of sleep that I got because of that.  Not sure.  I do know that one of the times that I woke up to the sounds of a screaming baby I was dreaming about Pearl Jam.  Too bad I didn’t get to finish that one out.

We had a great weekend.  Zach has started taking a few steps with only one hand being held instead of both.  I got to spend almost two full hours yesterday just playing with him in the floor with no other distractions and it was awesome.

More later…if I can wake myself up.

p.s.  I’m trying this new thing out.  Really it is just for fun, but if I can publish a few articles in the meantime and make some money, it is even better.  Articles are automatically published after 200 clicks, so if you have some free time, go here and click away.

p.p.s.  That second link is fixed now and should take you to the one article I have submitted.
