Big dum dummy head me

I forgot the password to this blog...and the log in name after I was forced to change it to a gmail ID.

But I want to thank the person who tried to log in for me, because blogger sent me the login info and I am so happy.

Thank you ...thank you.

I haven't been writing much due to life keeping me bound in silken chains,
but I will post some here now that I know how to get in the door.

Key in hand,
she turns locks
to other souls.

Little Bird

Little Bird, you fly by my ears--song of honey;
your wings parting the sun's rays.

You built your nest in the corners of my soul,
the edges tattered and stained by sap.

But there is no fruit from our union.
Bitter dregs of tea and birdseed detest youth.

Silence cuts me and you bleed song,
Feathers tainted red with ink.

Night knows only dimming moonlight,
stars fading into the ridges of heaven.

Little bird, your flight to love fell short,
but the wind carried your love song

to the depth of my soul, yet I pretend
that deafness and stone silence it.

You fly away from me, songs of mourning;
your wings blotting out the sun's rays.

Your Elf Name Is...

Baby Mc Flurry
You Are a Christmas Sweater!

Over the top, colorful, and totally flashy.
You're not afraid to be a little tacky.
Your Christmas Song Is

All I Want for Christmas Is You

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas is
You

You only want one thing for Christmas
Love from one special person - and you've got it!

Your Rising Sign is Taurus

You are the ultimate rock - stable and centered.
People turn to you in crisis and count on you for calm.

Stubborn and strong minded, you can't be pushed around.
You are also tenacious, and you always will stick with something difficult.

A bit fan of nature, you're attracted to the beauty of the outdoors.
And sometimes, you find it easier to relate to animals than people.
You Are the Furthest Thing From Grinch

You love and live for the holidays. You even love the Grinch!
You're in the holiday spirit year round... because you're all about celebrating and giving.
You Should Spend the Holidays In

Australia - on the beach with a plastic Christmas tree.
Your Holiday Personality is Caring

You like to reach out to people all year long, but you're especially giving during the holidays.
Make those you love homemade presents (like cookies or scarves). Call someone who might be feeling a little down. Give to your favorite charity.
For the twelve days of Christmas, your true love will send you:

Twelve babies drumming
Eleven candycanes a-sticking
Ten gymnasts a-leaping
Nine ladies baking cookies
Eight goats a-milking
Seven eggnogs a-intoxicating
Six puppies a-barking
Five golden coins
Four calling telemarketers
Three French burlesque dancers
Two bottles of whiskey
And a chimp in a peach tree

You Are a Tree

You love every part of the holidays, down to the candy canes and stockings. And you're goofy enough to put a Christmas tree ornament on your tree!
