Listening to one of my fave songs by one of my fave bands yesterday...I reflected on how apt the lyrics are to this situation. When I sang them to my mom & DIL...my mom thought I had written them. Anyway, here they are:
Wildest Dreams
I'm gonna organize some changes in my life,
I'm gonna exorcise the demons of my past.
I'm gonna take the car and hit the open road,
I'm feelin' ready to just open up and go.
And I just feel I can be anything,
That I might ever wish to be.
I fantasize just what I wanna be,
Make my wildest dreams come true...
***
Chorus:
I'm on my way
Out on my own again
I'm on my way
Out on the road again
***
When I remember back to how that things just used to be,
And I was stuck inside a shroud of misery,
I felt I disappeared so deep inside myself,
I couldn't find a way to break away the h*ll.
When I'm feelin' down and low,
I vow I'll never be the same again,
I just remember what I am,
And visualize just what I'm gonna be.
***
Chorus (slight change):
I'm on my way,
Out on my own again,
I'm on my way,
I'm gonna break away.
(repeat)
***
Well, that's just one that I've notice of late that is so close to the sitch. With this one it works because I have been on the road a lot...and it was the road that many of you pushed me to jump on to go meet with OWH.
I thank you once again from the bottom of my heart.
Now...I need a course on H handling...I have a song for that, too. The chorus is "Handle with kid gloves," of course it's not H that needs to be handled that way but the situation itself.

Hi RIF,
Thank you. And the same to you!
Thanks for being on the night shift. I'm guessing I'll probably wake up a few times just like last night. I'll think I've slept 5 or 6 hours and then when I check the clock I will see that I've only slept 2.
Curious to see what dreams will be coming in tonight and if H and John Corbett will show up!

Whoa! That's scary!!
When I started taking the pills to stop-smoking I had real vivid dreams. I remember the first one I had. I was on Living Island with H.R. Puf-n-Stuf and Jimmy and the rest of the gang.

LOL Rif...I had to look up the words...only the first couple of lines were playing in my head along with the tune...<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Here it is in it's entirety! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> H.R. Puf n Stuf Theme Song
H.R. Pufnstuf who's your friend when things get rough
H.R. Pufnstuf can't do a little because you can't do enough
Once upon a summertime just a dream from yesterday
A boy and his magic golden flute heard a boat from off the bay,
Come and play with me Jimmy
Come and play with me
And I will take you on a trip far across the sea
But the boat belonged to a kooky old Witch
Who had in mind the flute to snitch
From her Vroom Broom in the sky
She watched her plans materialize
She waved her wand -- the beautiful boat was gone
The skies grew dark, the sea grew rough
And the boat sailed on and on and on and on and on and on
But Pufnstuf was watching too and knew exactly what to do
He saw the Witch's boat attack and as the boy was fighting back
He called his Rescue Racer Crew as often they'd rehearsed
And off to save the boy they flew
But who would get there first?
But now the boy had washed ashore Puff arrived to save the day
Which made the Witch so mad and sore she shook her fist and screamed away
H.R. Pufnstuf who's your friend when things get rough
H.R. Pufnstuf can't do a little because you can't do enough
H.R. Pufnstuf he's your friend when things get rough
H.R. Pufnstuf can't do a little because you can't do enough Of course ole H.R. Puf n Stuf made me think of all those Sid and Marty Kroft shows...So now I'm humming the theme from Sigmund the Seamonster to get the other one out of my head! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Mrs. W

Thanks Mrs. W! I normally can't stand scary stuff, but I used to love Witchy-Poo! ( I still refuse to watch the Wizard of Oz! )
Thanks for finding this!!!

Hey Mrs. W,
Thanks! I woke up from a semi-bad dream. (No H in this one.) And no, neither one of us has brought up his moving back home.
I LOVE Puf-n-Stuf & all of the Krofft shows.
H got me the dvd set of Puf a few years ago and I initiated my nieces, much to my brother's chagrin. They love Puf to death, too! I did't have the heart to tell them that Jimmy (Jack Wild) is no longer with us after I heard that he'd died. He passed away in March 2006.
Now I've got the song in MY head, too!

And how 'bout Land of the Lost? The original, not the remake.
Those Sleestak critters used to scare the crap out of me!!

Hey Charlotte - Yeah, I remember that show too... looking at those old shows with the "high-tech" special effects seems kind of cheesy now!
Hope you get some rest this evening and don't have any more bad dreams!

Heyyyyy RIF,
Thanks! I'm going to try and go back to sleep in a few minutes. Maybe I'll dream about being on Living Island again! Or that I'm in the Land of the Lost.
Yep, special effects sure have come a long way since then. Sometimes it's overdone, though. I thought the CGI effects in MIB II were wayyyyyy overdone, while Reign of Fire's (with Christian Bale) CGI effects were great! (just to cite 2 examples)
I still remember when H & me saw Reign of Fire. We stopped to get groceries after the movie and ran into one of his coworkers. It wasn't OW, though.

I'm having a weak moment here and experiencing withdrawal because I'm missing my H. Not the new H: Mr. Gray...the old H: my sweet Jonesy. There's a chance I might hear from him today...I'm sure his head is still spinning...but I'd like to hear if he has anything to say to me. I hope he calls but I'm trying to brace myself if he doesn't...and I don't want to call him right now. I want him to absorb information so he will start to "get" it. But I sure do miss Jonesy...<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/teary.gif" alt="" />
