Da Flow

That "Organ Donor" track got some sweet lyrics - at a certain point an idea manifested and the flow was funky fresh (and feisty!) and I can somehow remember the words when I perform it too! Haha. I have a difficult time with that usually. Lately I've been thinking in poems and feeling great... like, probably too great. I'm a sucker for unsustainable levels of happiness. The last several weeks I've been improvising songs for a newly formed band that currently goes by #dorsalfun (yes, hashtag dorsalfun, it's awful on purpose or on porpoise. haha. ugh.) It's such a fantastic group of people - really wonderful musicians. It's an honor to jam with them whenever the opportunity arises.

Work has been stimulating too, I just finished the five weeks of training and am starting the regular schedule the day after tomorrow. With the holidays and a personal day already scheduled, the next three weeks will be four day work weeks. I did laundry today. The kids are all set for school next week and will have a nice winter break soon. These kids are a delight. I bought Roland a new coat with an "R" on it, it's way cute. We went and saw A Christmas Carol last night, amazing actors that also play instruments - it was kind of incredible. Scrooge was really into it. A bunch of drool fell out of his mouth at one point.

Playhouse 3.0

I'm on my third try with the kid's playhouse and I think I did it good. It gets rebuilt just about once a year because I get an itch to build. There was a neighbor throwing out some glass doors so I snagged one for one of the walls. I still need to do a bit more work to make it looks slightly less ghetto, but it is definitely the most fun and big playhouse yet. I'm even planting a garden right outside the glass wall so we can watch it grow. There were a butt-load of rocks all up in that dirt that I had to get outta there, but I love dirt.




A saw would help but all I had was scrap wood, a screw gun and screws. I think we'll get a saw to cut some trim, a door, and hack off some unnecessary overhanging wood on the front. The flower on the front makes me happy and there's even a little dollar store wind chime hanging on the front. The end.
