My bedroom is painted. Elvis Costello is singing on A Prairie Home Companion at this very second whilst I type. I am swooning. I am swilling a celebretory Corona. With lime, naturally. I would love to take a long, steaming, soaky bath. But the bathtub is full of stuff from my closet. Like shoes and luggage and my stash of Bath & Body Works products. Earlier, Mr. Costello sang one of my absolute favorite songs, Indoor Fireworks. I know he was singing directly to me. I swooned. And, at least I think, it wasn't the paint fumes. Definitely not the paint fumes.

About Me
- Bellona of Avalon
- Lacey, Washington, United States
- I was born in Colorado to a full-blooded Norwegian/American mother from North Dakota and a Cajun/Scottish father from Mississippi. Raised and educated in four states, eight public schools, and one liberal arts Lutheran college, I somehow ended up in South Dakota and was married to a mostly Dutch guy for twenty years. I then returned to Colorado for a seven year experiment living at high altitudes. I now call the Pacific Northwest home where I try to blend in with the natives driving my Subaru Outback and sporting hiking boots. I have two sons whom I adore beyond reason. The younger one lives with me and spends an inordinate amount of time on his computer creating video games and composing music. The elder one lives nearby with his amazing wife and their fluffy pup Gimli. I currently find myself without the companionship of a feline which feels odd to me. Technically I'm a grownup but I seldom behave like one. © 2007-2024 Carla VanBemmel

Admit it, it was the paint. Open the gosh darn windows and quit being incurably romantic. This is the age of cheap, sleazy everything. I am not cynical, don't even think that!
The windows were open. And I am a hopeless romantic. If you really want to swoon, you should hear Elvis do My Funny Valentine. Yummy.
I'm not swoonin' there!
