Maybe Tonight, Maybe Tomorrow

Written by Scott Leger, lead singer of wideawake

I heard the news today.
It came out of nowhere.
I wish I could run away,
but where would I go?
Is this my destiny?
Something so unfair....
What will become of me?
God only knows.

And they say the road to heaven
it might lead back through hell.
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow,
we'll win this fight and bury this sorrow.
We're so alive, still holding on, not ready to die,
so we LIVESTRONG.

My pride is left for dead,
as my world get shaken.
The thoughts inside my head so hard to control.
I'm staring down the unknown, one thing for certain-
That it may break my body, but never break my soul.

They say the road to heaven
it might lead back through hell,
so we're holding on for more than stories to tell.

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow,
we'll win this fight and bury this sorrow.
We're so alive, still holding
on, not ready to die, so we LIVESTRONG.

Belated Chico Thoughts

This is from my trip to Chico for a workshop back in the beginning of June:

Chico was awesome! I carpooled up with two of my colleagues. The drive up was without incident. We met up with the rest of our group (8 total) and headed into the Chico office. Most of my colleagues had never been to the Chico office so we were given the grand tour. It is a beautiful office, decorated in warm colors. The office and its amenities are definitely something to be jealous of. (^ ^) After the tour and after checking into our hotel we went to downtown Chico for the Thursday night farmers market.

We had a blast! The produce available for purchase looked fantastic! The strawberries were huge! Some were so big that only one would be able to fit into the palm of my hand. I didn't buy any strawberries, but I did buy some cherries and some sweet & salty almonds. YUMMY!! There were a ton of flowers for sale too. I wish I could have bought some, but I knew that they would not have made the trip back. After hanging out for a while we went to the Olive Garden for dinner. An easy pick since the restaurant was right across the street from the hotel. Afterwards we went back to the hotel for complimentary evening drinks. I had a glass of merlot.

This hotel is awesome. They are really nice to their guests, not to mention that one of the guys behind the front desk was really REALLY cute! He was even wearing a LIVESTRONG band. I would have liked to flirt with him a bit, but: A) I'm way too shy for that, and B) What's the point? He lives in Chico, I don't.

Hi, remember me?

Ahh, the joys of communal living. Hmmm, more more like the chaos of communal moving!

Well, we are all in the new house now. I am somewhat unpacked, and somewhat still in boxes. That's how it goes. You know me, it will take me a month to fully unpack. And I'm still working towards down-sizing my life for a sucessful yard sale.

Guess what color our (Riley and me) room is.... Yup, it's pink! I have odd pictures of the walls I may post later, but really, they are nothing exciting-- just corners.

Once I get all settled in, it will finally be time to CUT MY HAIR!!!!! I've been avoiding it since January. I guess I've become comfortable with my hair. Which is really stupid because it takes me forever to wash it, and I need help combing it and braiding it. In a way, the delay has been a good thing, because now I have more to donate. My hair is about an inch or two above my waist now, and sometimes it tickles my lower back when I wear it down. I'll miss it once it's gone, but I look forward to quick showers and Costco-sized shampoo bottles lasting longer than a month! (^ ^) I'll make sure I post before and after photos.

Hmm, anything else to catch up on? Oh yeah, this Saturday is the Climb to Kaiser! I had originally planned to volunteer to help work at the very top, the Kaiser Pass rest stop, but the move and other responsibilities made it not possible. Too bad, because it's going to be an interesting year: The Rumble to the Summit is scheduled for the same day. So 275 cyclists will be sharing the road with about 4,000 guys on motorcycles. The Rumble to the Summit is an annual fundraiser for the Make a Wish Foundation. Last year they raised $180,000. I just pray no one gets hurt.

You Communicate With Your Eyes

When you say, "I'll believe it when I see it" - you really mean it.For you, what you see is a lot more important than what you hear.You don't take someone's words at face value. You judge people by their facial expressions, body language, and appearance.You tend to be quiet, but when you talk, you tend to make eye contact and describe things in colorful detail.

How Do You Communicate?
