The Tuesday Transcriber

"The Haunting"

I know you're there -
the hair on my neck makes me aware.
Invisible atmosphere you dare not share
surrounds you everywhere.
Never a word you say,
as the daylight fades
and seems to stray from your face,
and you remain elusive as always.
You love me from afar
even with all my scars,
as bizarre as they are,
and I am forever your shining star.
But what is it you really want?
A nonchalant jaunt you taunt
and with imaginary courage flaunt
at me your face that still haunts.
I long for a touch-
so much; maybe too much?
The lost sensation is a crutch
to which I willingly clutch.
Dare I search in the dark
for a hidden mark,
a spark in this amusement park
on which I wittingly embark?
Would I find you there?
Or just feel your stare
in the air of your recumbent lair,
and remain to stay your memory's heir?

Somewhere over the Rainbow (and back again)

Oh wow...what a weekend this has been! Let me just start off by saying that allergies SUCK. I have been either wiping my raw runny nose, sneezing my eyeballs out or laying in bed with a massive headache (or a combination of all 3) since Thursday.
Hence, my hiatus.
And I still don't have a post for Modest Monday. However, I just HAVE to post the birthday party I threw for Julia, my youngest daughter, this past Saturday! It's the only thing I got accomplished this entire weekend. Literally.
I present to you: The Wizard of Oz

I took this shot before I laid down the "Yellow Brick Road" that I forgot about until the absolute very last second! But it leads you straight to....

The Emerald City. But the bell is out of order, so will you kindly knock?

And inside the Emerald City was a feast of Wizardly porportions!

And of course, picnic baskets...

 

 

Why, hello little Toto!

Found these posters free on the internet!

Then, the girls painted their very own Dorothy houses to take home.

We played Pin the heart on the Tin Man and Lauren won!!

 

Next, it was time to sing Happy Birthday to the birthday girl!
AND open presents!!

 

 

 She quite happy with all she got.
And last but certainly not least, we can't forget the parting gifts for all of our munchkins.

All in all it was a success as no witches were spotted in our area for the entire celebration! And I hope these little Munchkins come back to visit us at The Emerald City again soon!

Tuesday Transcriber

"Kitty Cat, Pretty Cat"

The lazy day is slept away
all curled in a ball of fur.
Lazy cat, sleepy cat.
Purr, purr, purr.

Milk in the dish fulfills her wish
and off to the kitchen she slips.
Hungry cat, thirsty cat.
Sip, sip, sip.

Milk here, milk there
in her fluffy fur so thick.
Yucky cat, mucky cat.
Lick, lick, lick.

Toss and fling that ball of string
around the room all day.
Silly cat, frilly cat.
Play, play, play.

A cold wet nose and soft little toes
wants to be rubbed right now.
Pushy cat, mushy cat.
Meow, meow, meow.

Nowhere has there been a pair
quite like we two.
Kitty cat, pretty cat.
I love you.

Dedicated to my Madge.
