The Littlest Birds Sing The Prettiest Songs

Courtesy of The Be Good Tanyas... Check out the song sometime. Beautiful song. It's getting me towards the light today...

Well I feel like an old hobo, I'm sad lonesome and blue I was fair as the summer day

Now the summer days are through

You pass through places

And places pass through you

But you carry 'em with you

On the souls of your travellin' shoes

Well I love you so dearly I love you so clearly

Wake you up in the mornin' so early

Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues

I got the wanderin' blues

And i'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways one of these days soon

And I'll sing

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs...

Well it's times like these I feel so small and wild Like the ramblin' footsteps of a wanderin' child

And I'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill

Singin these blues with a warble and a trill

But I'm not too blue to fly

No I'm not too blue to fly cause

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs...

Well I love you so dearly

I love you so fearlessly

Wake you up in the mornin' so early

Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues I got the wanderin' blues

And I don't wanna leave you I love you through and through

Oh I left my baby on a pretty blue train

And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain I had the wanderin' blues

And I sang those wanderin' blues

And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways

One of these days soon

And I'll sing... The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs....

Major setback today. You know when you land in the middle of a financial nightmare and you know you will be ok, but you don't see the light... yeah. It will be ok, but it's a lot more thought than I had hoped to give to money for the next few months. Blech. I had a minor meltdown and it lasted about 5 minutes, but I'm ok now. My appetite is all but depleted, which is ok because I've been consuming tummy-soothing items like mashed potatoes and cola (stomach flu) for the past couple of days and I'm not ready to get back on the hard stuff (salad, etc...) and the thought of eating something soft makes me ill all over again. It's a vicious cycle I have here...

If the wind dies down I will head out on a run. I'm going to push 5 miles today- up to city park, around it and back home again. Pray for me. Ross got me a pink iPod shuffle for V-Day. We both decided that we are pro-Valentine's Day and sure it's a corny greeting card holiday, but you know what? It's another excuse for us to act silly and in love and if I get some chocolate and a card that makes me cry, well, ROCK ON. Even when i was single and thought I would be alone forever I could get caught up in the romance of it all. It's for some, not for others I suppose...

I just wasn't expecting this cute little Shuffle. I am spoiled beyond belief. I know this. I'm ruined forever.... Again, what did I do to deserve all this???

Either way, it's my new best running mate.
