I haven't been doing a lot of blogging lately, nor a lot of stuff on Facebook. Still trying to get the apartment put together and I have one week left to get it done. Then it's housewarming time.

Thanks for the great post, Paula! Yeah, we need to get over to Plotmonkeys.com more often. We love those guys! Right now, we're suffering from a serious Myspace addiction. Which isn't helping our writing any. Please tell me it fades with time!

The Water Bearers

No one tests the depths of the river with both feet
A hippopotamus can be made invisible in dark water

The heart of a wise man lies quiet like limpid water
The flood takes him in and the ebb takes him out

Water that is begged for does not quench the first
One who bathes willingly with cold water does not feel the cold

A stream cannot rise beyond it’s source
No matter how full the river, It still wants to grow

When the rain falls it does not fall on one house alone
Thunder is not yet rain
Water always finds a way out

A little rain each day will fill the rivers to overflowing
Yet in the abundance of water the fool is thirsty

Still...
Between two friends even water drunk together is sweet enough

One Love
Asheber

No, don't do the strip. I did it one year and it was sooooo overrated. I have to work in the a.m. anyway and I have to leave early because the streets will still be closed off. So, I have to find detours at 4:00 a.m.

New Years is a total hang up with closures etc. in this city.
LyNe’





Jan 1 2008 6:31 AM

Not ignoring you, Boo!!! I am working so much. You know that everyone is flying this time of year. After they all leave Las Vegas for New Years, it should slow down a bit!! So, I'll call you in a day or so.

Hope all is well with you!! I love you girl and please just be patient with me.

Your Sis,
