Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them
They think I’m telling lies
I say
It’s in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips
The stride of my steps
The curl of my lips
I’m a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That’s me

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please
And to a man
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees
Then they swarm around me
A hive of honey bees
I say
It’s the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth
The swing of my waist
And the joy in my feet
I’m a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That’s me

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me
They try so much
But they can’t touch
My inner mystery
When I try to show them
They say they still can’t see
I say
It’s in the arch of my back
The sun of my smile
The ride of my breasts
The grace of my style
I’m a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That’s me

Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud
I say
It’s in the click of my heels
The bend of my hair
The palm of my hand
The need for my care
‘Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That’s me

Thanks for the talk this morning.  It really made me realize how much I miss you and c.  All of this emotional and physical drama seems to be taking it’s toll on the both of us.  I love you and I am glad that we got a chance to talk about some of this crap that has been going on for us.  Hopefully I will see you this weekend   And I am so so grateful to have a good friend like you in my life.  I can always be honest with you and we can talk about real stuff, not just fluff.  Not like those Assholes!  Love ya… A&J

Why aren’t you blogging?  I miss hearing what is going on with you.  Kisses A&J

no wonder it’s so freaking hard to learn to read Monday November 12, 2007

The combination “ough” can be pronounced in nine different
ways.The following sentence contains them all “A rough-coated,
dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough;
after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed.”

What the hell??

thought for the morning Thursday November 1, 2007

When one is getting ready to go to therapy it is wise to skip the mascara.  That is all.

Oh, and C is puking again after a short recovery yesterday.  He is the most miserable sick person I know.  I hope he sleeps it off today.

I only have 3 minutes before I have to go get the kids from the bus. BUT I saw my people today (study coordinator, doctor, therapist), all of whom were very sorry for what I went through this weekend. My doc immediately gave me 4mg dose of Sub in the office, along with 6mg to take home (1mg later today, and then 5mg for tomorrow). I started feeling better in no time flat. I am so relieved and happy that all of this weekend’s drama is over. So, it looks like I will be supplementing with the Suboxone for 2 weeks, and then I will get a 5th implant put in, which should solve the problem. Woooooohoooooo. I can’t even put into words how relieved I am. I was getting really spun out on the idea of having gotten a placebo and having to figure out what the hell to do next. So, I gotta run, but thanks for all of the kind words when I needed to hear them so badly.

Oh, and hello SuboxoneMom. I am glad to have you reading and helping me with your experiences. The more support the better, right? Do you have a blog I can read? I can’t seem to find a link…
