THIS is in direct defiance to Savannah Luanne's comment that Xanga is dying. Xanga will stay alive until I SAY it's dead lil' missy!!! 
In other news, I've decided that my love languages have shifted somewhat, if the whole "love language" thing is even valid (which, by the way, is my new favorite word, "valid"). Here it is: I really DO like to give gifts! I'm a gifts girl - yahoo! I probably don't always prove it, but there is something that just lights up in me when I'm able to carefully choose the perfect gift for someone and give it to them unexpectedly. (Not in a scary, unexpected way...just as a nice surprise....haha! I can only imagine. Amber: "Surprise!" Lora: "Amber, get that squirrel out of our house!" That would be in the "scary, unexpected" category. AS IF I would bring a squirrel in the house.)
I'm excited about two (2) things tonight.
1. I went and did what I've been only dreaming of doing today. I asked the fellas at the music store what it's going to take to buy a cello. It's the first step, but it's a step in the right direction! I'm getting chills just thinking about it.
2. I went and did another thing this evening that I'm hoping will set in motion an unstoppable chain of events involving me and a bunch of old folks Should be interesting. More to come on that one...
To end this post, I would like to say something about Washington - the President, not the state. This is it: I like his name. It is very dignified.
Peace, love, and sustainability to all.
