On the recommendation of dooce I went ahead a read through Spinner's 25 Most Exquisitely Sad Songs.
Happy weekend me.
So now here I am sitting and drinking a double whiskey alone running through our song collection and playing the saddest songs I can find. Some from the top 25. Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails "Hurt" twice.
That's when I broke out the whiskey.

But you're caught in your own glory. You are believing your own stories. Timing your contractions. Inventing small contraptions That roll across your polished hardwood floors. ~cake "open book" lyric
Where my time goes:
- domestic_valerie
- Morning: Bottles for the twins, cereal for the toddler, coffee for the parents. Housework, play dates, and facebook. Afternoon: Bottles for the twins and a nap for the toddler. Down time? Sometimes... Evening: Dinner for the ones who can eat solid food, bottles for the twins. Bedtime for small children and grown up time for the mom and dad. Mostly spent catching up on television. And all the time lavish those around me with love and attention. Except when I'm on the computer.
Other Places to Go
Two things to do every day: Walk. Write. Neither are guaranteed to be done well. But I'll try.
