It's weird. For the past two days, everyone (yes, exaggeration, you know what I mean!) has been playing with my hair. Its crazy. I love it, don't get me wrong. Nothing so relaxing to me as someone playing with my hair..ok, massages are good too..so I am NOT complaining. I just think its sort of weird. lol hmmm, maybe they feel my stress? Ya know, because I'm stressed...yeah, that's it. lol
I got the first few steps of the chicken Kiev done tonight. Its fun to pound the meat with my masher. lol I decided to make a tomato-basil polenta as well. I kept finding all these recipes I like with peppers, but she doesn't like peppers. ugh! But I think the polenta will go nicely with everything else being served...as long as I don't mess it up. lol
Going through my cookbook I decided I need to have a Polish night. There are some meals that are just too much for me to eat on my own, but would love to share. I took out my Polish cookbook and figured out a menu...now just have to figure out a date. Because some of these things are going to take a WHILE to prepare.
Its exciting though. I love having people over...even if I am not currently making plans with people. lol I think I may even do invites. woo hoo!! :) (And of course I looked for some good vegetarian dishes. I know who I would invite, so I know most of everyones prefences...I think.) There is a recipe or two...or four..that I haven't tried yet. I am anxous to make them. I am sure they will be tasty, but I have some other dishes that I have made so many times, there is no worries that at least SOMETHING will be good...at least to me. :p
Still so much to do before they come over. Its just a small group of friends, but they are part of the 'original' group. Ok, one of them joined us a year later but, eh. lol Sadly, one of the guys works every weekend and most weekdays, so we are going to hang out tomorrow. Its been a long time since we all have been able too. I am looking forward to it, even if it will feel a bit strange. :)
Caroline is thinking that its bizarre, that in life, you can miss something that you never had. Go figure.

Each push brought her closer
Each pull brought her near
The sweat on the brow
The set of the mouth
Visualizing the end
What it is all for
The twist of the arm
The stretch of the leg
Each struggle brought her peace
Each pain brought her hope

That my phone was so quiet this evening
Very weird, but somewhat nice too. I turned off all Twitter updates -except direct messages. Allowed me to totally veg in front of some movies. Which is a good thing, because I was crazy, and although I wasn't feeling well, did some pilates along with some yoga. My body was in conplete confusion over all the activity and still no food. lol (Would have liked to of gone for a walk but not sure if that would of been a good idea.) It was weird having a few hours to myself and not be connected on purpose. I think I forgot how much I like to have control of certain parts of my life. Could be addicting again. :P lol
I'm pretty excited about my plants so far this year. I thought I was going to lose most of my plants (especially the roses) due to all those cold snaps we were getting, but to look at it all now, you wouldn't know it. Each year my long stem roses have a few more blooms, and it looks like this year will out do the others. My rose bush has so many buds on it right now. Not sure if the picture does the one branch justice. I still need to go out and 'redirect' it, it always likes to try and go across my window. Not that I don't like the flowers, but it looks messy, and who wants messy roses? (OK, I'll probably have messy roses, because I should probably do some pruning now, and I just don't want to. I want flowers!! lol)
The Irises are popping up great as well. Once they are done, the lilies should pop up. The spearmint has already taken over it's corner. Seriously, anyone want some? It'll grow and grow and grow...and smell great! :)
So all that is left is the patch of death. I keep meaning to try some sunflowers there. Cliche' I know, but hey, if they'll grow... I want to put the hardy mums back, but they couldn't take that spot either. curses! I may put all my planters there and put some simply veggies and herbs in them. Just have a planter garden in the middle...where everyone can walk past it and go "OH!! She has cucumbers!!" ...because I am going to grow cucumbers in a planter. :) If those two plans fail I will put the skull staff back there to warn good plants to stay away. (Even the weeds don't like it! And I HAVE changed the soil. THREE times!! ugh)
Caroline is thinking she is a bit amused at how dark her hair is right now...but she likes it. She felt a bit better when someone else said it looked darker, because she was wondering if it was just her. She was happy to keep her length, much to the bewilderment of friends who love cutting off their hair. lol Now she just needs that tan to go along with it.
She's also thinking that maybe she should track her couch-5k progress. She's been working on it for the past week. Although, she fully admits she has to alter it slightly when her asthma starts up. :( poopy. So she's not exact. At least she's trying right? She's also thinking that she had seen a friend post in her blog the push up challenge and considered it then...but did nothing. Nothing makes her happier then another challenge. lol But we'll see, she'd have to find lots more time in the week to fit it all in at once with all that she is doing already.
Caroline is thinking that she is totally thankful for a friend that carried out a deep conversation with her via text today. Was very much needed, and really needed someone to tell her she really isn't bi-polar. lol Sometimes she worries. :)

The twinkling lights drew them near
Out the door and across the green floor
The animals in the ground noted the passing
And with light making diamonds of their eyes
Watched from below
With necks stretched up
And ears full of silence
The eyes took in more than they thought they could
Wanting to burn the memory of it all
The calmness
The coolness
The sharpmess of each star gazing down
So that in years future
When no longer able to walk the path
They can recall it all
And imagine
