For You
I smell your scent in the air
Pretty dreams lived with me
I know the time is here
I don't want to lose you
That ageless sweetness
Your beauty has no rival
My heart wants only you
Chorus:
For you, for you,
I'll live
Love will win
With you, with you,
I'll have
A thousand happy days
A thousand peaceful nights
I will do anything you ask me to
I will go everywhere you go
I will give all the love I have for you
Tell me that you already know the future
Tell me that this is not the end
Without you I don't want to exist
Repeat Chorus
I don't have to tell you
By now you already know
That I would die without you
Repeat Chorus

"Never Think"
Despite my complete adoration of Robert Pattinson, I must admit that I am getting kind of tired of having his voice stuck in my head.
His song "Never Think" has been on repeat in my mind for three days. Yes, I said three. And not just occasionally. I woke up in the middle of the night and there it was...just a-playin.
While I know that it shouldn't be a bad thing to be hearing his voice (why would hearing voices be considered strange?!?!), it is starting to wear me down. Mostly just because I feel the overwhelming urge to sing along with him- and that's when things go wrong. Not that I'm a bad singer. I was in choir every single year of school (seriously, Kindergarden thru 12). I can read sheet music. I even know how to play "Heart and Soul"; not very well, mind you, but I can play it. But nothing I can sing can even compare to the raw quality of his voice. And the lyrics...oh, the lyrics. If you haven't heard the song, YOU MUST. (But really, if you haven't heard it, where have you been hiding? Seriously?)
I suppose that I just sound like all the other hormone-crazed fans, but I don't feel like that's it at all. I just like his voice. And his sense of humor. And his smile.... *sigh*
Oh, and you can listen to it on my playlist over yonder (haha) ------->

break-y mc-break-a-doodle
It's a Saturday, and last night I was such a badass. (Not really) I stayed up til 3 a.m. reading a Twilight fans version of how the story should continue...it was interesting to say the least. Quite detailed in the sexual acts- and honestly, that wasn't too terrible (haha)! But the story itself was actually pretty good. I saved the link so I may go back and read some of her other work.
Staying up so late has thrown me off for the day. I generally get up by 7, but today I slept til 11. And now it's lunch time but I really want to make pancakes or something. I don't even want to eat them, I just want to make them. I'm strange like that.
Next week is going to be kinda different for me! Since classes are out, I'm working 8-5 Monday thru Wednesday (normally I only work 12 hours a week- woah). Then Thursday we are going to Little Rock & Russelville for Conclave. What is Conclave, you ask? Joe was invited to attend the yearly competition/conference/meeting for Wildlife & Biology students, faculty and business persons. Then I found out they also have a nature photography contest there, so of course, I am going as well. :)
Speaking of that, I need to figure out what I'm entering...eek!

thankfulness
I feel like I'm going through a lot of changes lately, and some of it is good...some of it could be better. I've been trying to remember the important things in life and reorganize my priorities. The last two years have brought about so many changes! It's kinda crazy. I really appreciate the friends I've had for a long time who love me when I am stupid, cranky or just simply not there. (Long distance friendships are hard!!)

When the crap hits the oscilator...
Donna Jendreas (the woman I wrote about it my previous post) is no longer able to swallow anything, and family's making funeral arrangements. The hospital sent her home Monday because there isn't much else they can do for her. She's had several seizures now caused by the pressure in her brain from the bleeding, and it's basically just a waiting game now. Joe is going to be a pallbearer.
I feel crappy cause I'm sick, but I can't complain. She is going to die. Everyone knows it. Honestly, part of me thought that she would just come out of it and be fine! But when I saw her in the hospital, I knew. She looked so strange. Like her body was there but SHE wasn't there...does that make sense? It's so sad. The only good thing I can see in it is that her kids were all with her for her last days. I just hope that she isn't in pain.

bad.
My sister-in-law Krystle called just a bit ago. Her mom has cancer and is dying. Krystle's brother Jeremy was Joe's best friend growing up, and is on a job in Blytheville with an electric company and can't drive to MH. So we are going to get him tomorrow (1 1/2 hour drive there), and then to Mountain Home (5 and 1/2 hour drive all together).
I feel horrible. This woman was Joe's second mom growing up. Krystle and Jeremy were a part of his life long before Krystle married Joe's brother. While I have personal negative feelings with Krystle, she is family and I love her. It is so sad. Donna is the nicest person. She has always been really quirky and kind of a hippy, but in an endearing way.
Of course I totally don't mind getting Jeremy at all, I just don't know what to say. I've been there. I lost my mother too. And I know how I felt, but I don't have a clue how he feels. He's been trying to avoid the subject, and we are going to be in a car together for several hours...what do you say in that situation?!?
The worse part of it is that it's happened so fast. Six months ago she had a sun spot that turned out to be melanoma. Then it started to spread. It's in her brain now and they've done chemo and radiation and the docter's said if they do anything else it'll just put her in more pain. It's absolutely heart breaking. They gave her a week or so at best.

Hazelnut Truffles
Hazelnut Truffles
Makes 120 candies
Prep: 1 hour Chill: 3 hours
Ingredients
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 13-ounce jar (about 1-1/4 cups) chocolate-hazelnut spread
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon Irish cream liqueur or vanilla
2/3 cup halved hazelnuts (filberts), toasted*
Finely or coarsely chopped toasted hazelnuts (filberts)
Unsweetened cocoa powder

1. In a heavy medium saucepan combine sweetened condensed milk, chocolate-hazelnut spread, and unsweetened chocolate. Cook over low heat until chocolate melts, stirring constantly. Remove saucepan from heat. Cool slightly. Stir in liqueur or vanilla until smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl; cover and chill about 3 hours or until firm.
2. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. For each truffle, form about 1 teaspoon of the chocolate mixture around 1 toasted hazelnut half to make a 3/4-inch ball. Roll in chopped toasted nuts or cocoa powder.
3. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for several weeks or freezer up to 3 months. Makes 120 candies.

Watch carefully to avoid over-browning. Remove nuts from skillet and place on a clean kitchen towel. When hazelnuts are cool enough to handle, rub the nuts together in the towel, removing as much of the brown skin as possible.
