Il y a

I love this song...

(Angie, Would you someday teach me how to add youtube the COOL way?)

Il y a

Il y a
Du thym, de la bruyère
Et des bois de pin
Rien de bien malin

Il y a
Des ruisseaux, des clairières
Pas de quoi en faire
Un plat de ce coin
Il y a des odeurs de menthe
Et des cheminées
Et des feux dedans

Il y a
Des jours et des nuits lentes
Et l'histoire absente
Banalement

Et loin de tout, loin de moi
C'est là que tu te sens chez toi
De là que tu pars, où tu reviens chaque fois
Et où tout finira

Il y a
Des enfants, des grands-mères
Une petite église
Et un grand café

Il y a
Au fond du cimetière
Des joies, des misères
Et du temps passé

Il y a
Une petite école
Et des bancs de bois
Tout comme autrefois

Il y a
Des images qui collent
Au bout de tes doigts
Et ton coeur qui bat

Et loin de tout, loin de moi
C'est là que tu te sens chez toi
De là que tu pars, où tu reviens chaque fois
Et où tout finira

Et plus la terre est aride, et plus cet amour est grand
Comme un mineur à sa mine, un marin à son ocean
Plus la nature est ingrate, avide de sueur et de boue
Parce que l'on a tant besoin que l'on ait besoin de
Nous
Elle porte les stigmates de leur peine et de leur sang
Comme une mère préfère un peu son plus fragile
Enfant

Et loin de tout, loin de moi
C'est là que tu te sens chez toi
De là que tu pars, où tu reviens chaque fois
Et où tout finira

It's a beautiful song. I don't have any idea what it means though. Do you speak French? Can you translate?

Indeed, I would love to teach. Stop by "my office" sometime and it would be a pleasure.

Let's Get It Started

Today I found a new online party planning resource . Holiday, birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, weddings, etc. It helps you create invitations or ecards, is customizable, offers list management and guest list management, sends event/birthday reminders, manages potluck sign up lists, links to Twitter and Facebook, helps you decide on a date, links to your e-calendar, links to party planning supplies, manages a to-do list, offers party planning ideas, hints and tips, and is pretty much amazing. In addition, it is free. I'm hooked.

Shot and Chaser

I did it! Today I braved a shot of wheat grass and am forever grateful to the Jamba Juice employee (Alexa) who recommended the orange juice shot as a chaser over an orange wedge. I'm not sure why today was such a momentous day. Wheat grass is something I've wanted to try for a while, but haven't dared do - kind of like my purchasing soy milk and hesitance to drink. (Thanks, Renee , for the recent soy smoothie introduction!) All I can say now is wow, wheat grass - talk about fresh!

Memories

Oliver, I remember how small you were. How you whined and cried when you were left alone in your box/kennel while you were being house trained. I remember how you took to Cambridge, wanting to be with him everywhere. I remember sitting with the two of you, having structured together time; Cambridge was not fond of the new puppy and needed encouragement for patience, lessons on sharing, and reminders not to nip at the puppy. You hated going somewhere Cambridge did not go and wanted to go everywhere he did. You were always eager to love, ready for a pat on the head, playtime, offering a lick to the hand, even when I didn't put my best foot forward. Even when I scolded. What a small fluff you were. Loyal and anxious and mischievous. Wanting to climb into laps. Wanting more food, more time, more love. Always thinking you were still a puppy. Wanting to be the center of everything. Stealing toys just to steal them. Camping trips with you and Cambridge in the tent with me because I was wo...
