Name Change

Would you take a look at this! I haven't posted for two weeks and here i am, posting twice in a day! 


I want to change my blog title. But because of a lack of inspiration, I'm sitting here, spinning my wheels. You all know what I like: God, Catholicism, being pro-life, music, lizards, etc. 


I want title ideas from you guys!!!! Nothing corny; just something that would fit me and my blog! (Something aside from "The Inkwell Has Run Dry", aka...I never write!)

I Shall Be Narcissistic

The Jane Austen character 'do. :)

No makeup here; whatever you see is just me. :)

When You See a Guy...Reach for Stars in the Sky...

You can bet that he's doin' it for some doll!!! 


First off, I can't believe it's been over 2 weeks since I posted on here. Mea culpa... :( 


Last Sunday, we went to a play at the local high school..."Guys and Dolls"...and, I've seen the movie version, and a professional version at the theatre in the city...but the high school version is the best version of any of them. And I'm not just saying that because 6 of my friends are in it. 


Anyway...here are some videos...




Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat!!! (All 6 friends are in this one.)

Love Planted Deeply Becomes What It...

Ought to Be


I love you more than a slow-falling summer rain
More than a silence that only the snow leaves behind
I love you more

And I love you better than the gray of the autumn air
Better than spring in its blooming against the sky
I love you more

It may not be red as the roses yet
It may not be strong as the old oak trees but
Love planted deeply becomes what it ought to be

Your love is steady and sure as the mountains high
Moving my heart like a river that gently bends
Your love is sure

Your love is wide open spaces where I can run
And yet, we're tangled up roots in the warm broken earth
Yeah, our love is sure

And it may not be clear as the morning yet
It may not be wide as a restless sea but
Love given freely becomes what it ought to be

It may not be clear as the morning yet
It may not be wide as a restless sea
And it may not be red as the roses yet
It may not be strong as the old oak trees but

Love planted deeply becomes what it ought to and
Hearts given freely becomes what they ought to
Love planted deeply becomes what it ought to be
What it ought to be
