Maniac
Song by Michael Sembello

Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
Lookin’ for the fight of her life
In the real-time world no one sees her at all
They all say she’s crazy
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She has danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance
It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be
She’s a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
She’s a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
On the ice-blue line of insanity is a place most never see
It’s a hard-won place of mystery touch it, but can’t hold it
You work all your life for that
Moment in time, it could come or pass you by
It’s a push-shove world, but there’s always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
There’s a cold kinetic heat, struggling, stretching for the beat
Never stopping with her head against the wind
She’s a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
She’s a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be
She’s a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know)
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
She’s a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
Maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
She’s a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know)
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before

You’re So Vain
Song by Carly Simon

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror, as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they’d be your partner
They’d be your partner and
You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain (you’re so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you don’t you?
You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair and that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee clouds in my coffee and
You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain (you’re so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you don’t you don’t you?
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee clouds in my coffee and
You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain (you’re so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you don’t you?
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well you’re where you should be all the time
And when you’re not, you’re with some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend wife of a close friend and
You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain (so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you don’t you don’t you?
You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain
Probably think this song about you
You’re so vain

You Belong to Me
Song by Carly Simon

Why’d you tell me this
Were you looking for my reaction
What do you need to know
Don’t you know I’ll always be your girl
You don’t have to prove to me
You’re beautiful to strangers
I’ve got loving eyes
Of my own
You belong to me
Tell her, tell her you were fooling
You belong to me
You don’t even know her
You belong to me
Tell her that I love you
You belong to me
You belong to me
Can it be, honey
You’re not sure
You belong to me
Thought we’d closed the book
Locked the door
You don’t have to prove to me
That you’re beautiful to strangers
I’ve got loving eyes of my own, of my own
And I can tell
I can tell darling
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
Baby, I really love you
You belong to me
Tell her, tell her
Tell her she don’t know you
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
Cause you belong to me

Losing a pet is no fun. There is such a void in your heart and spirit. You vow no more. And then something happens. You miss the patter of those paws. You miss the whine for a treat or to go out and before you know it, you are doing it all over again. This is the first time I believe Shoelady mentioned that a pet took to her and no one else. That’s such a treat. Poppy is the same with you. And that’s the way Menschell was with me. It’s so hard. Yet, there will come a time when another little guy will cross our path and then you will know the time is right.

We went marketing. Stopped at Aldi’s and picked up some frozen chicken for our freezer. This will come in handy when we return and may be too tired to venture out for dinner. At least there will be something in the house. Oh yes, and a couple of small pizzas. We returned home to put the groceries away and then headed to Detwiler’s Farmer’s Market. I did purchase one Dragon Fruit for $4.99 ea. Tomatoes were between $.79/lb and $.99/lb, There were cherries also. First of the season. There were a few things they didn’t have such as Greek olives. May stop at one of the other farmer’s markets before we take off.

I know hubby isn’t feeling well and I’m concerned. He says he is feeling OK to drive the long distance, but I wonder. Nothing is written in stone that we must be back by a certain date. I’ll keep you posted.

Not sure how your BIL will fair through this ordeal. What I gave you was things and ideas that could help the process. The most important is to keep his strength up. I take a few of Andrew’s vitamins for the Immune system. I also take one for energy. On this one, it took quite a while for it to work and now I cannot live without it. You also might mention no carbonated drinks or alcohol. No frozen or canned foods that have preservatives. Most frozen foods have something and I learned this the hard way. Stay away from fermented foods, things with corn starch, corn syrup, etc.. Drink coffee and tea in moderation. Try pureeing apples, watermelon, peaches, etc..
He can tell if it’s going to be agreeable by looking at it. Lemonade is good. I happen to like Newman’s Own Diet (without sugar and preservatives).. He may be able to tolerate cheese since it is soft and melts in your mouth. He is also in good hands in Maryland. Loads of good MDs and hospitals. Probably better than Boston and New York.

Well, tomorrow is another day. I started putting the outdoor things indoors this morning. I need to straighten the other rooms so we can bring the furniture into our den and living room. Then back to the bedroom. There is a process and it takes about two hours from start to finish.

@oodiebom,

I know you are thinking of your father. Here is a candle. I am thinking of my dad too.

I hope you and hubby are not too hot from all your errands today.
