pain in my neck and the lashes

so I have a pain in my neck from being at a desk on a computer most of the day today. After dinner, I got on the computer at home to put together a talk I'm doing tomorrow night for a small business owners group I belong to. Now I'm bloggin...after this, I'll try to do something away from the computer.

This evening, when I went out to feed the animals, there was a runaway cow in my pasture. My next-door neighbors were haltering it up to take it back home. I had to put the alpacas and llamas away because the cow was scared of them...this gigantic cow was scared of my tiny (by comparison) animals. Not the sort of thing you expect to see walking by right after eating meat for the first time in a long, long while. OK, universe, I GET IT! I'm not going back to meat. Poor cow.

And I'm completely obsessed with The Lashes. Their CD "Get It" is all I've been listening to for days and days. The song on my main myspace page "Sometimes the Sun" is like my theme song for the summer...particularly given my frequent home alone status. Here's the lyrics:

"It's been so long since I've seen your face except inside of my head

Counting down the days 'til you're home hoping then we'll share a bed

Sometimes we fight about the little things, but now they seem like such little things

I woke up from so many dreams with visions of buying diamond rings

Sometimes the sun goes down, sometimes it comes back up

I'm wondering which one you are watching now

It's been so long since I've heard your voice except inside of my head

Waiting for your phone call to ring replaying things that you said

Sometimes we fight about the little things, but now they seem like such little things

I woke up from so many dreams with visions of buying diamond rings

Sometimes the sun goes down, sometimes it comes back up

I'm wondering which one you are watching now

Sometimes the sun goes down, sometimes it comes back up

I'm wondering which one you are watching now

Are you feeling just like me, feeling down, down, down

Wishing you were beside me nightly, down, down, down

I keep my eyes glued to the ground, down, down, down

I'll be there for your airplane touchdown, down, down, down

Sometimes the sun goes down, sometimes it comes back up

I'm wondering which one you are watching now "

see, totally a song for me for the summer. And I'm still waiting tonight for Michael to call...

7 eggs today.
