LAST OF THE BLACK AND WHITE SP'S


pHEW! I am SCRUBBING down walls today! Has anyone missed me?!! I won't be posting as much and probably not commenting as much either! I'll be a couch potatoe in the evenings now after I have cleaned, sorted all day long! UG! It has to be done tho! Aren't these last photos stupid? but I am HAPPY to be finally started cleaning and even this has to be DIVINELY led! and the second photo shows me upside down because that's what I will feel like upon chairs scrubbing these walls! PHEW! Have YOU started SPRING CLEANING YET???

DANCING IN MY HEART FOREVER


for Poetry Thursday the prompt was these 3 words "the body knows"
"Lula"
My grandmother's mother
Lula
had eight children
All are dead now
three in the last four months
one is still
living
the body knows
but
the heart does not
Cro


In the pic is my Grandma Garnet(she's the one wearing a turquoise sweater!) who passed away in November and my Aunt Zelma, her sister who was in the Nursing home sharing a room died this Tuesday. I imagine them dancing up there, because they sure did a lot of dancing here! I'll always remember them best dancing! I am so lucky to be raised around music! Now, I will have to be sure and call my sweet uncle who is left. PhewxoxoxoxSweet Dreams

FEELING TURQUOISEY


happy, HAPPY MONDAY!
Did anyone else watch the Grammys??? I LOVE watching the singers sing! How about that dancer dancing like James Brown??? Phew! Was that Chris Brown??? and Sting and the Police! and Smoky Robinson and Lionel Ritchie!!!!The Peppers! 80 year old Tony Bennett and Stevie Wonder!WOWWIeeeeeeeEEEE! Christina, MaryK, Beyonce',Shakira, Corinne Bailey Rae , Carrie, The Dixie Chicks and that Grammy Moment winner, Robyn Troup! who did a duet with Justin T. did a GREAT job, she should have sang just a little louder but she was GREAT! and the choir singing in the backgroud of Gnarls Barkley!!! James Blunt singing that "Beautiful" song once again, John Mayer, theres too many to mention! I wrote my own little ditty after watching Gnarls belt his song out! I had heard of him but never did hear a song by him, whether he inspired my little poem or just all the sweeties, but I just had to reach for a pen when he sang!!! LOL I'm going to check him out more, I just hope he doesn't use foul language because that turns me off!
" Spirit Soar"
You made my spirit soar
When you sang your song
Your song hit my core
Could have heard you all night long
You made my spirit soar
When you sang your song
So happy,so happy for sure
You've got to sing more, that won't be wrong!
Get up and dance
get up and sing
get up, get up, Twist those pants
You don't need a Sing-a-Pore-Sling!
Let your spirit soar
Sing, sing a song
Sing, sing some more
Let's sing all day long!
Cro
Next Monday is my Turquoise Cro Thyme Blog's BIRTHDAY!!! Woooooo Hoooooo! I sure have had some FUN and met a lot of sweeties!!!!!! That's me up there in that pic, the Turquoise Crow, a rare bird indeed! LOL~~~ I AM different, but Thank GOD, aren't we all?????????!!!!!!!Here's where you can go for more Grammy news! xoxooxoxox~~~~~~http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/grammys/env-grammys2006-list,0,5154561.htmlstory?coll=env-grammys and~~~~~http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/grammys/

SECRET OF THE UNIVERSE


Can you believe it's alreAdY fEBRUARY 7????!!!! I can't!
"Secret of the Universe"
Are you a secret of the universe?
Sometimes, I think I am
because I love to write
and I'm not famous
I love to sing
and I'm not famous
I love to dance
and I'm not famous
I love to paint
and I'm not famous
I love to act out sometimes(DRAMA Queen)
and I'm not famous
Is it my choice
to be a secret of the universe?!!??
maybe***~~~Cinda Rae Oliverio~~~***
I really don't think I could take all that poperotzi following your every move! I'm very content being a secret of the universe! LOL Isn't thaT TERRIBLE? I think they should pass some kind of law so you wouldn't be followed and stalked like some of these people are! Happy Wednesday! It's Wednesday already? Still cold here, they have cancelled school all 3 days so far of this week! Yippppeeeee! The kids get to sleigh ride and make snowmen!!! My daughter says all her kids were getting rowdy in the classroom this past week, I told her probably they want to be outside playing in the snow, now they can soooo maybe they will get the rowdiness out of their little systems!!! LOL O! and are you a secret of the universe too? xoxoxox

UNEXPECTED SURPRISES~~~UG!!!


AhhhHHHH! i was busy today, I posted my SP early this morning at around 3AM sooooo I could be ready for my day of scrubbing and cleaning and then have some time for capturing some of those words I was talking about! I even called my 91 year old aunt Amy to seeeeeeeeeee how she was! She's doing just fine! Yes! I got all my house work done and inbetween scrubbing, of course I had laundry going! Sooooo YOU thought maybe that was some ART I did! LOL HA!!!! HA!!!! It was my UNEXPECTED SURPRISE!!!!inside the dryer!!! My son who works for UPS left his BROWN pen(it usually writes brown but look at that! it's BLUE like me when I saw it!!!!) in his pocket of his pants! BAD, BAD boy!!! O! yes! I always, always check their pockets, they are men, right?(sorry, I hope no men take offense) but today I was rushed, I wanted to paint, I wanted to write, I wanted to exercise!!!!! Yeah, rubbing and rubbing while crouched down with bended back(OUCH!!!) is an exercise! I wanted to scream but didn't! I just cleaned the MESS up! but wouldn't you know it? The only time I don't check the pockets, this happens! PHEW! well, anyway I did write some verse and I did create a piece of art, I'll be posting that tomorrow with one of my poems, I don't want to wear out anyone's eyeballs this late at night! and I've only done 45 jumping jacks!!! but HEY! that's a start! lol i'm hoping to do some more sit-ups and stuff! later
Here's 2 of my little poems or whatever ,writings
"Thinking of Alyssa"
GOD BLESS
Bless that little baby
Bless that little baby
Help her Heal
Let her have a happy childhood
full of puppy dog tail wags,
cotton candy, merry-go-rounds
chocolate cupcakes and pink tutus
Not just these needles, tubes, tears
pain and sorrow!
Bless the little babies
Bless all the little babies
Help them Heal
Bless Us all
Bless us all!
Help us heal
Cro ~~~*******~~~ ps. I remember one of my dreams this morning and it was of a sweet baby I had! Wowieeeeeee! Now, that would be something! at my age! Wink! and now DARLENE has asked for prayers for a sweet little baby on her Blog. His name is Joey! and he is SWEET! http://thewholeself.blogspot.com/
my other verse for today
"Stella"
Stella sits alone
a lot
Stella cries
and no-one calls
Stella used to laugh and dance
a lot
Widowhood
takes a lot
Stella
I'm thinking of YOU today
and wondering
how you are
and I don't call
Cro
Don't you do this, think of someone in your day and don't call them. Today, I thought of Aunt Amy and Stella. Aunt Amy answered but Stella didn't. Maybe tomorrow................xoxoxox Sweet Dreams!

~~*DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY!*~~AND DREAM IN COLOR!


NO! NO! Don't go away!!! I didn't mean to be sooooooo SCARY looking and mean looking but I AM MAD at MYSELF! lol
Winter has come and here I am, wintering like a big fat cow! I do this every winter, no-one seeeeeeeeeeeeeees you much anyway, winter coats hide the bulk and I am getting heavier and heavier by the day! WHERE is the Goddess of Exercise when YOU need her the MOST!!!
Why worry, be happy! I will be happier when I lose some pounds, it isn't healthy to weigh this much! Tyra Banks weighs 160!!!!!???? I can't believe that! She looks good! I do worry about the world too! Here is an interesting article interviewing Maya Angelou! Hey Maya, if you happen to click onto my Blog can we just meet and ponder together??? I've got to start writing more! All those words lost somewhere, I'm going to start capturing them soon! and I am going to BECOME my own exercise Goddess! WISH me LUCK! Hey! I think that was on the CAC Blog! I will feel better so Don't worry, be happy!xoxoxoxoxoxoooox~~~~http://sites.target.com/site/en/corporate/page.jsp?contentId=PRD03-003811
