Since no one actually reads this but me I figured I would have some fun :D
This for some reason happens to be one of my favorite songs. I've never actually heard it performed or heard a recording but I learned it from my mom as she played it on her guitar. If for no other reason that has made is special to me.
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
Ill be a dandy, and Ill be a rover
Youll know who I am by the songs that I sing
Ill feast at your table, Ill sleep in your clover
Who cares what the morrow shall bring
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
I cant be contented with yesterdays glory
I cant live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment, now is my story
Ill laugh and Ill cry and Ill sing
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Ill taste your strawberries, Ill drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today

The Experiment
I have *gasped* turned off Facebook. I have deleted the bookmark, removed the short cut, and hidden the app. I have determined that for a month I will not check on Jericho (my virtual puppy) I will not stock random people whom I’m not even sure I’ve meet, I will not live in fear of seeing an update that will effect my emotionally, I will not check my Facebook 10 times a day to see if I got a new message.
I will, however, miss knowing what is going on in my friends’ lives. Perhaps I will actually have to email them or even scarier call them. Heaven forbid I use the countless stacks of stationary I have to actually write a real letter. Well actually with out Facebook to ask for their addresses how would I actually write them?!? Who has an actual address book with anything other than emails any more? Maybe it is time to get one.
I am most importantly going to be studying. But please don’t let that deter you from messaging me, emailing me, texting me, or even, yes writing me.

High maintenance, High yield
It took me a long time to be ok with the fact that I am high maintenance. Don’t get me wrong; as per most things in my life I don’t do it the usual way. I don’t require hours to get ready. I can go days with out a shower and as long as I got a bucket I’ve been known to go a month without running water. I love camping and hiking and it wasn’t until college that I learned to put on make up. Heck I still wonder if I am doing it right some times.
However, I need attention. Not the, hey every body look at me, attention. The, there is someone somewhere thinking about me, attention. I don’t need to be special to many but I do need to be special to a few. I need to be held and touched. Not constantly, but there is something to being able to curl up at the end of the hard day in the arms of someone who loves you.
I don’t need fancy meals or big bouquets of flowers. But I do need thought and energy put into something for it to be special. I do take time and energy to maintain. I will need words of encouragement when it feels like my life is tumbling around me and I will need hugs at the end of a long day.
In the end though I am also high yield. I am loyal to a fault and relatively quick to forgive. The support I’ll give through out the relationship will sustain most through the hardest times.
And the love? I will love in ways most people only imagine about and then take it to a level most will never obtain. I am not afraid to give all in order reach places unknown. I challenge people to look at their way of life and give them reason to grow and together we will grow and write a story that is incredible. For I, I am a Proverbs 31 woman and I will dress my family in scarlet!
