If You Forget My Love...

"Red lights are flashing on the highway
 I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
 I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight

Everywhere the waters getting rough
Your best intentions may not be enough
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight

But if you break down 
I'll drive out and find you 
If you forget my love 
I'll try to remind you 
And stay by you when it don't come easy 

I don't know nothing except change will come 
Year after year what we do is undone 
Time keeps moving from a crawl to a run 
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home 

You're out there walking down a highway 
And all of the signs got blown away 
Sometimes you wonder 
if you're walking in the wrong direction 

But if you break down 
I'll drive out and find you 
If you forget my love 
I'll try to remind you 
And stay by you 
when it don't come easy 

So many things that I had before 
That don't matter to me now 
Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost 
And the love I've never found 
When the last bird falls 
And the last siren sounds 
Someone will say what's been said before 
Some love we were looking for 

But if you break down 
I'll drive out and find you 
If you forget my love 
I'll try to remind you 
And stay by you 
when it don't come easy" - Patty Griffin "When it Don't Come Easy"

Once again it has been a while since I've posted in our blog... Apparently since July... Where does all the time fly? We went from me being in school to saying yes to starting our business. Throw in our doing our not so normal day jobs and apparently I have lost 3 months!

I've been listening to music trying to figure out what I want to play at our wedding... What songs I want to walk to, etc... One of my favorites that I finally put out of the running this weekend (because it's not quite appropriate for a wedding) needs to have an honorable mention. "When it Don't Come Easy"... if you haven't heard it before, go to YouTube and listen to it. It's simple and gorgeous... and truly what everyone needs in their so called crazy lives... I kept thinking it's a good one for us because sometimes it seems like our jobs take us everywhere but home. Bill gets grumpier (impatient for the time to end) as the days go by and I soldier on and shut down emotionally because it's easier for me to put my heart on 'power save mode'... I'm content... it's our lifestyles and I know our planets will align sooner or later... I'm not one to let the time apart affect me as there's not enough rent in my head or time in my day to dwell on it... I prefer to look forward to the good times and not think about  the days apart. Just not good for this crazy California girl's juju.  Peace and moonbeams and daily blessings and shizzle.   Perhaps this is why we work together... We balance each other with peace and moonbeams and for fucks sake and bags of diseased... well anyone that knows Bill knows where I'm going with that one... lol

When we're home we're off and running... working on projects... cleaning and cooking and taking turns with who gets to nap on the couch. I've had it all day today... so it's got his name on it for tomorrow... I'm sure I'll post a picture with him surrounded by dogs and cats and completely out... A happy Mudgie for sure.  Then he'll be back up... recharged and in the garage working on whatever project I've tagged for him to do while he screams words I'll have to explain to the Korean families nearby if they ever get the courage to ask me why my man is screaming such words... It's working for us so far though... Our booth is making a profit... We're expanding in 3 days.  Fingers crossed we keep making these lovely profits... we're enjoying the hunt and flip...  I can't tell you how much I love that he gets the thrill of antiquing and feeling stuff made years ago... Things just aren't made the same anymore are they Ikea?

BTW... the songs in position to be the 'winners' for the wedding are "Leather and Lace", an oldie but goodie of our time... and "Marry Me" by Amanda Marshall...  I guess I should just add to my vows that I've already written... "if you break down, I'll drive out and find you... you forget my love, I'll try to remind you... stand by you when it don't come easy... if you're holding a pot of coffee and a bottle of rumchata though it'll make it easier... for better or for worse for rumchata or coffee pour-er"  :)

It's time to finish cooking down the pumpkin to make the first pumpkin bread of the season... I've got bacon in the fridge... and the makings for the cookies Bill has requested...  I'm about to remind Bill of my love when he gets home later tonight... The way to a Mudgie heart is food, a big kiss and a drink... and a kitty purr or two...
