Live Like You Were Dyin'

Timmy's new song....
(lyrics by Craig Wiseman)
He said I was in my early 40's with a lot of life before me
And a moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days, looking at the X-rays
And talking 'bout the options, and talking 'bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in that this might really be the real end
How's it hit cha when you get the kind of news
Man, what'd ya do ?
I went skydiving, I went rocky mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
And he said someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'
He said I was finally the husband that most of the time I wasn't
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden goin' fishin wasn't such an imposition
And I went 3 times that year I lost my dad
Well I, I finally read the good book
And I took a good long hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again
And then...
I went skydiving, I went rocky mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
And he said someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'
Like tomorrow was a gift
And you got eternity to think about what you do with it
What should you do with it
What can I do with it
What would I do with it
I went skydiving, I went rocky mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
And he said someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'
(don't know if these are exact.. but they are close)
Tim has dedicated this song to his dad 'Tug' who passed away from brain cancer on Jan 6 2004.

So two nights ago I actually wake up and hear the crazy storm we had. Sounded like a train was rollin by my window. Kinda surprised me because a storm has never woken me before. But wasn't too bothered considering I was only awake long enough to register it was raining and that loud sound was actually thunder.. then I was out again.
Then last night... I wake up to the yap yap yap of a dog. At first I think A who lives in the apt on our house must be in town for a visit and it's her dog.. though I've never heard her dog bark before. Then I realize it's coming from across the street.. or next door.. wherever.. it was outside. I like at the clock 1:30am! :( I have never heard a dog barking on our street before!! So I assume the dog was spooked and will stop anytime.. I am definitely too lazy to get out bed and shut my windows. About 15 minutes later I actually tried covering my head with my pillow to see if that will help block out the sound. Remember this isn't barking.. it's yelping! Then it stopped. Thank goodness! Then it started again. ERRR! At some point another dog started barking with him. I 'almost' laughed. Thoughts were going through my mind on how I could shut this dog up.. and they weren't nice thoughts :) Those of you who have made the mistake of calling me when I'm sleeping know I'm not very nice when I get woken up! So I keep watching the clock knowing I have to get up at 4:30. I think I got a few winks in. I did notice the whole time I was getting ready.. no barking! It did start again before I left the house though. I wonder if this is one a one time deal??
The moral of this story. That's two nights in a row I have been woken up by noises... something that has never happened in the past. I'M GETTING OLD!!! Or just continuing to metamorphosize (is that a word?) into my mom :)

Home Sweet Home

The blacksburg home that is. It's been a busy week, but feels great to be back with all my buddies! This being in town for a weekend is new too. I kinda like it, too bad I know it won't last :) Too much to see and do :)
Let me back up. Got blue back last friday finally! Only $5000 worth of damage! They did a great job on the repairs, she looks great! Now the check engine light is on... has been all week... guess I should check that out huh :) I'm waiting for R to get back in town.. he had the same issue a couple months ago. I have a meeting with State Farm on monday. They claim they like everyone to come in every 3 years to go over their policies with B etc. Sure they do. I know they really want to crank my rates or drop me :) It's not my fault people like stealing and vandalizing my cars!! Maybe if I promise never to go to DC again they will be nice to me!
Last night I went to watch C (4 yrs) play soccer and S (7 yrs) play coaches pitch. SO SO SO adorable. The 4 yr olds play 3 v 3 soccer. This one little boy comes off the field and slaps everyone's hands when he scores. Of course they don't keep score and everyone wins, yeah right every kid out there knows the score :) And the baseball players.. with their little caps. Maybe one throw out of ten is actually caught. Two of them had little batting routines where they streched.. hit the play.. tapped each foot :) Like little professionals :) Then we went for custard. Yeah it was a great night!!
Guess what... less then a week til Gary. At least the first time this summer.. then countdown to the NRV Fair... closest Gary has ever gotten to the burg... I already have my tickets and some to share.. so let me know if you are interested. July 28th!

I didn't come up with this.. but I think we should adopt it for our group!
"WE DON'T RUN FOR GREAT TIMES, WE RUN TO HAVE GREAT TIMES"
Any other ideas?? We could have shirts made :)

Ok do me a favor. Remember back to when you were a kid. McDonalds was THE fast food place to eat. Happy Meals (with cool toys). Chicken Nuggets (before Wendy's and Chick Fil A of course) dipped in honey.. mm mmm good! So here's my issue. Nowadays... McD's doesn't have honey!! How am I supposed to enjoy my nuggets without honey! It makes me really sad... like a part of my childhood is missing! "I'm NOT lovin it"
On a better note for McDonald's.. they finally have some cool toys again! They've teamed up with ESPN! Tony Hawk Skateboarding, Mia Hamm Soccer, Tony Stewart Auto Racing, Michael Vick Football, Venus and Serena Tennis, and Vince Cater Basketball. Of course I don't have the three I really want yet.. but I will be getting more Happy Meals the next couple of weeks.. guess I should take my own honey though :)
