Hot Chocolate Weather

This morning was cold. I need to put another blanket on my bed. Being directly under a window doesn't help either. Its sleep-in-socks weather. Slipper weather. Big fluffy robe weather. Hot chocolate weather. Curl up on the couch in a blanket with a book weather. I'd love it a lot more if I had someone to cuddle with. Aside from my dog. <3

It all makes me want to listen to Christmas music and sit in front of a fire. Wrap presents and giggle with my sisters. Of course, I'll be saving that for closer to Christmas... but that is what this time of year makes me look forward to. First is Halloween!! It should be fun, although I haven't come up with a costume yet. I was Little Red Riding Hood last year. I'm up for any suggestions!!

I have mewithoutYou lyrics stuck in my head. I think I'll share them. This is the end of the song Messes of Men from their Brother, Sister album. Fantastic album, I love every song on it. Granted, mewithoutYou has a style that is not for everyone, but the lyrics are fantastic - deep and thought-provoking enough that most people can appreciate them.

"A few leagues off the shore, I bit a flashing lure,
And I assure you, it was not what I expected it to be!
I still taste its kiss, that dull hook in my lip
Is a memory as useless as a rod without a reel.
To an anchor ever-dropped, seasick yet still docked.
Captain spotted napping with his first mate at the wheel,
Floating forgetfully along, with no need to be strong,
We keep our confessions long and when we pray we keep it short.

I drank a thimble full of fire and I'm not ever coming back.

Oh, my God!

I do not exist we faithfully insist
While watching sink the heavy ship of everything we knew.
If ever you come near, I'll hold up high a mirror,
Lord, I could never show you anything as beautiful as You."



Great stuff.
