Friday. I’m awake since 4.30am. I couldn’t sleep. A couple of things are worrying me and it hurts that I can’t change them. Waiting sucks. I wish I could see the future right now, that way I’ll know if the wait was worthwhile.
I’ll continue writing about my blog’s “To Do” list. Now it’s the turn when many of you will ask yourselves (again) how altered my mental faculties are.

A few weeks ago, I was dared by Jamila (thisizapen.wordpress.com) to take a shower fully dressed.
And of course, write a post about it!

I’m not the kind of person who agrees on doing every crazy thing there is, but this one sounded like fun.
I have experience being dressed and wet (now… who has the dirty mind?!?), but mostly because someone threw me fully dressed in a swimming pool. I really never minded when that happened, but I kind of hated the time I had a white t-shirt on and half the school was around, so I begged the 4 guys who had my limbs, to allow me to change t-shirt. I looked like one of those whiny girls… Terrible!!
I’m so glad this nice guy took his black t-shirt and let me put it on top of mine. (You can guess, I fell in love with that guy too! There must be something wrong with me… It really takes nothing).

So I finally decided it was time to do it. I had planned to do the same Jamila did and shower with my pj’s, but then I thought it wouldn’t make much difference clothes or pj’s since I’m the one who will have to take care of the laundry after all.
Taking the soaked jeans off is not the easiest job, the fabric gets stuck around the legs. Luckily those jeans are stretchy.

So that’s me in the shower, fully dressed.

Now I’m ticking one more item from the blog “To Do” list. And adding to the other “To Do” list: “Learn how to use Photoshop”.

At least I can say I learned a couple lessons:

-Never take another picture from that angle.
-Sleep a few more hours (or start using a concealer… waterproof, of course).

And now, IT’S FRIDAY, I’M IN LOVE!!

Last Monday, someone very special to me, asked me if I had ever heard Willie Nelson singing “Pancho and Lefty”. No, I never had so I searched for the video and listened to it. I saw that below that video, there was a version sang by Townes VanZandt. I liked Townes version much more. So I decided to listen to more songs by him (maybe all of them). Country or blues are not my favorite genres of music, but the truth is that I don’t have a favorite genre or band. I like songs.
And among all the songs I heard since Monday, there were 4 that I liked very much. It’s the first time I had difficulty picking one song and leaving others out. So I said, I listen once more to the 4 songs and choose one.
So I was paying attention to one of the videos and I heard Townes saying: “….. (something I really couldn’t understand)… a few love songs and this might be the prettiest”. So I had my answer.

I want to dedicate this song to all my Texan friends and specially to my Twin (lookingforthelight.me), to Kim (kimboxin.wordpress.com), who’s missing her beloved Texas right now and to My Prince, of course!

I hope you love this song as much I as do,

Lover’s Lullaby Lyrics
( written by: Townes van Zandt & John Townes van Zandt)

Dreams that have flown down the hall
Tears that were sown on despair
Summer’s turned fall, they don’t matter at all
When I wake and find you lying there
Sweet silence and soft auburn hair

Blues gonna dance through the sky
Time’s gonna roll soft as rain
Sigh after sigh is gonna pass by and by
When I gaze into your brown eyes again
Ah, love is gonna fly on the wind

All the things I’ve seen and the places that I’ve been
Don’t mean a thing since I found you
All that matters now since I’ve won your love somehow
Are these plans that I keep makin’ not to lose you

So sleep till the moon slips away
I’m hopin’ all you’re dreamin’ comes true
When you rise with the day I might not have too much to say
But you know that doesn’t mean that I don’t love you
Ah, you know that doesn’t mean that I don’t love you

All the things I’ve seen and the places that I’ve been
Don’t mean a thing since I found you
All that matters now since I’ve won your love somehow
Are these plans that I keep makin’ not to lose you

Dreams that have flown down the hall
Tears that were sown on despair
Summer’s turned fall, it don’t matter at all
When I wake and find you lying there
Sweet silence and soft auburn hair
Sweet silence and soft auburn hair

R.I.P Townes, and thanks for the music.

(This is not the video where Townes says it’s the prettiest. The one where you heard him saying that is Solo Sessions, January 17, 1995).
