Paint it Black (OH Heck No, Paint it PINK!)

Hey LaBug, that line is from an old Pam Tillis song called: "Don't Tell Me What to Do". KInda of a funny one, my sister keeps singing it to me.... She says when it doesn't make me cry I'll be moved on. Still waiting for that, but getting closer every day.

We tried and we tried but it's over
Guess I didn't fit the imagine in your mind
Now you tell me to find another lover
But baby aren't you gettin' outta line

Don't tell me what to do
You've already said we are through
I'm a page that you have turned
I'm no longer your concern
So don't tell me what to do
I'll love you forever if I want to

You're no longer in charge on my thinkin'
You're already in love with someone else
So if I'm into all night honky tonkin'
Well I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself

So don't tell me what to do
You've already said we are through
I'm a page that you have turned
I'm no longer your concern
So don't tell me what to do
I'll love you forever if I want to

So don't tell me what to do
You've already said we are through
I'm a page that you have turned
I'm no longer your concern
So don't tell me what to do
I'll love you forever if I want to


On a lighter note Nice Guy/Conspiracy Theorist went to the beach with me yesterday. He is controlling and kind of too worried about silly stuff. And a terrible backseat driver.... And yet we had a fun time. We went to 4 different beaches. Sort of a walking tour of all the beaches at the marine corps base. I showed him where my son got married, my favorite beach for shells, a beach you climb down a ditch to get to, and a remote beach where my son proposed to my DIL.

At the first beach the first thing NG/CT found was a piece of coral shaped like a heart. He said "Wow! This looks like a heart!" and he put it in his pocket and I figured he was going to save it for his little 6 year old daughter. He gave me all the shells he found....

Then we went to dinner he pulled it out of his pocket and gave it to me. So sweet. And then I told him a story about another time in my life when I felt so broken, and had been walking thru the desert in Albuquerque, and actually was thinking I was leaving my heart in ABQ. We were moving and had lost our husky dog and I was so sad to be moving without him. He used to go on my daily 5 mile desert walks with me.

Anyway, as I was walking and sad and thought I was leaving my heart behind I got a sign from the universe, a heart shaped rock at my feet. I still have it. It made me realize I was being silly.

Who ever found my dog and decided to keep him was a mean person. But I'm sure they loved him and took care of him, too. They probably thought we were bad dog parents, because he ran away. Huskys are escape artists and I'm sure they figured that out.

Anyway the heart shaped coral is another sign, I can get past this rough patch. I still have my heart.

Aloha,

Wendy
