INSIDE THE FLAME


 SONG IN MY HEAD SUNDAY
 

With a new year on the horizon, and another chance to wipe the slate clean and start anew, I am excited. At the top of my New Year's Resolution list is this:NO MORE WASTING TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this song by one of my favorite groups, The Eagles. It takes me back to parties in someone's basement with bean bag chairs tossed around and the lava lamp going. I didn't give a second thought to wasting time then. I do now. This song spoke to me in the past and it speaks even louder to me in the present. Ladies and Gentleman, I give you, THE EAGLES.... LATER YA'LL...^Belle^

 THE NAME GAME
 

Looking down the list of my favorite blogs, I think about the bloggers who write them. I recall a word association game my friend Bev and I used to play. There were several variations through the years. My favorite was song titles or lyrics. Are you following me...? I decided to play the game solo. Below are the names of some bloggers and the song title or song lyric (sometimes both) that I associate with their names. Play along if you want.

Icemelts-Baby It's Cold Outside

Scratch-Cat Scratch Fever and Poison Ivy

Miss Lou-Hello, Mary Lou

 PICTURE SHOWING IN PROGRESS or SHOW AND TELL
 

As I recover from the hustle and bustle of Christmas, not to mention the party hosted by Puppy and Ice (has anyone seen my rocket launcher...?),until I can gather enough strength to actually write a post worth posting, please enjoy these photos.



This is my beautiful grandson, Trooper Junior, wearing his University of Alabama jacket that I bought him.



This is my daughter, Princess. She was almost a month old. My Mother bought the pink dress she is wearing. She wore it home from the hospital, and in a few weeks, her daughter will wear it home from the hospital as well.



MY DREAM CAR!!!!



THE MAN WHO DROVE IT.



THE ONE AND ONLY....ELVIS



ALABAMA BOY....BO BICE....



ANOTHER BAMA BOY....TAYLOR HICKS...

 The Bah Humbug Cure or Whiskey Sour Please
 

Armed with my brass knuckles and putting on my game face, I left home this morning with 1 agenda. To complete my Christmas shopping. ^Belle^ doesn't like crowds. The put it off until the last minute shoppers, like myself, don't bother me. It's the other ones that get on my last nerve. You know the type, the ones that already have their presents wrapped and under the tree....yet....here they are....amongst us!

The "put it off until the last minute" shoppers aren't interested in the excitement, hustle and bustle of the season, we do not wish to stop and engage in idle chit chat,and we DO NOT care about the cute outfit you just bought. BUZZ OFF! We are on a mission here. The best thing you can do is get out of our way! And by that I mean, step to the side...don't block the whole entire aisle while you gab with someone you went to school with that you just happened to run into. Don't tell me that you are just catching up because I don't care! Fine...catch up all you want....but PLEASE...DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Didn't take me long to find just the perfect thing for Trooper Junior. A "Grandmother's revenge" kind of present. You know...the kind that make a lot of noise! Don't tsk...tsk...tsk..me....I had to do it. It's in the Grandmother rule book, right after jacking them with a sugar high before sending them home to Mama and Dada.


Finally arrived home about an hour or so ago and decided to float around the stream and unwind while sipping on a Whiskey Sour. No Bah humbug here....I am in a Jack Daniels kind of place.

Have the Christmas tunes kicking, Bing is crooning one of my favorites, "I'll Be Home For Christmas" and it takes me back.

In my mind I see Mother flitting about like a Christmas bumble bee, decorating the house from top to bottom. She loved Christmas. It hasn't been the same since she died.

The small Christmas tree I placed on her grave after Thanksgiving is still there. The past 3 years, some low life has taken the tree from her grave. I don't understand how people can be so heartless.

I think back so fondly on each Christmas spent at home with my parents and baby brother.

I go home for Christmas each year. But just like the song says, "...only in my dreams..."

Couldn't find Bing's version of I'll Be Home For Christmas, so on the comment page, please enjoy Barry Manilow.

Watch out for the mistletoe.....



Later Ya'll...^Belle^
