• Updates…

  
  

  I know I’ve been rather absent the last few days, and considering the major mood swings I’ve been having, this is probably a good thing.  I’m still feeling a bit off kilter, and needing time to talk to honey that I’m not getting just isn’t helping anything…  So I’ve made myself scarce around the boards, knowing that the mood I’m in doesn’t help my writing and can cause problems that I would have to apologize a lot for later.

  
  

  So yeah, that’s where I am… Just kinda taking a break, and I hate that it’s from my writing, but at the same time, I have nothing.  My brain will not focus on anything for more than a few moments, other than the RL stuff in my head and in my heart.

  
  

  Work is still insane.  We’re short handed, as usual.. and one of the girls was having trouble with her blood pressure last night, and another’s daughter is in the hospital in Pittsburgh.  So Patti went today to join her husband and her daughter, and I’m going in at 10 tonight to cover her shift.  I just couldn’t say no when the manager sounded so desperate. 

  
  

  This song has been particularly hitting me lately, given my mood.  I totally understand why, and I just wish I could make someone else hear it… Though that would probably require more time to talk to him than I’ve had since he’s been home.  It’s sad, I heard from him more when he was in Iraq than I do now…

  
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Long, Slow Kisses

  by Jeff Bates

  Hey baby, I guess you’re wondering
  
  What I’m doing home so soon
  
  Naw, I ain’t sick
  
  It’s just, this morning when you told me
  
  You didn’t feel like you were
  
  special anymore
  
  Well that broke my heart
  
  So I had to turn around and come back
  
  And tell you what I’m gonna do about it
  
  I’m gonna light the bedroom candles
  
  Take the phone out of the wall
  
  We can lay around and talk for hours
  
  Or maybe we won’t talk at all
  
  I’m gonna resurrect the love
  
  That slipped away from us
  
  And the man you’ve been missin’
  
  Startin’ with some long, slow kisses
  I just wanna let you know how ashamed I am
  
  For making you feel that way
  
  Darlin’, I’m so sorry
  
  I guess I’ve just been focusin’
  
  Too much time on making a living
  
  And way too little on making love
  
  But if you can just find it in your heart to forgive me
  
  Girl, I swear from this moment on
  
  You’ll always know where you stand with me
  I’m gonna light the bedroom candles
  
  Take the phone out of the wall
  
  We can lay around and talk for hours
  
  Or maybe we won’t talk at all
  
  I’m gonna resurrect the love
  
  That slipped away from us
  
  And the man you’ve been missin’
  
  Startin’ with some long, slow kisses
  ‘Cause what really matters most
  
  Is you and me this close
  
  Feeling no distance
  
  Sharin’ some long, slow kisses
  
  Sharin’ some long, slow kisses
