Now I’m a fat house cat...

Cursing my sore blunt tongue 
Watching the warm poison rats 
Curl through the wide/white fence cracks 
Kissing on magazine photos 
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean Blood of Christ mountain stream 

Have I found you? 
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding 
Or lost you? American mouth 
Big bill, stuck going down

Flightless bird, American mouth-Iron and Wine
good group... loving this new find.
This weekend was my family reunion in Mississippi... First off let me just say that side of my family is wayyyyyyy country but I love them. They all have hearts of gold and are soooo sweet, would do anything for anyone. That being said they do have their draw backs but everybody does. This is my mom's side of the family [Herrington] which is her dad's family. Every year for 72 years they get together at this time of year and cook 3 to 4 hogs in the pit, the local families cook some down home sides [mac & cheese, green beans, corn, etc] made in every way possible, they cook the famous Mulligan stew [don't ask about the ingredients], and the greatest desserts ever made [Mississippi MUD, cookies galore, pecan pie... omg sooo good]. It brings in about 150 people who are actually related and about 100 who aren't but are close friends and locals. Over the years they have done entertainment like country singers, local singers, bands and stopped a few years ago but this year they brought it back with gospel singin and of course some ladies who laid some good county tracks down for us... It was great. I took pictures at the beginning but my camera died [like died] will not let me take pictures or switch to that setting... It was the craziest thing but I did manage to get some good ones before it went clinically insane. Check out the myspace album. I posted them all and not just my favorites so there are a bunch but they are fun. 

I haven't posted in awhile so I will update you on my life. I wake up. work. go home. watch Grey's Anatomy. the end. lolllll. but seriously its been like that for awhile. I went to bible study last week and that was great. I've been getting up a little early and doing something active for 30 min [punching bag, walk, stretch, etc] its slowly becoming fun. I have lost 8 pounds on my diet and thats going good. I don't grimace when I see water now. :) I finally got to finishing up my room all I have to do now is hang up my canvas' and my Beatles picture... and that should be done tonight I will post pictures soon.

Hope you are all having great Mondays
grace and peace
