I was born on yesterday's date so I get to be late with a post

Yesterday was my 26th birthday so I decided not to post this post then. I had a great day filled with Tamale Kitchen, Monuments Men, pottery painting and creme brulee buffet. My wonderful husband got me a new purse (mon nouveau sac est joli), a workout arm band for my phone, a Paris coffee mug and a memoir about Paris. He is a darling man who makes me so happy! I had a great birthday week with friends and family and I love them all so much!

I will leave you with yesterday's two stories and resume blogging on my regular schedule tomorrow! Au revoir!

The Run

Shoes on snug,
The Skele-toes everyone hates.
Hair tied up high,
Water full and cold.
Walking at first
Her body warms up,
Music turned on high
Fall Out Boy moves her
And makes the run easy.
Blood rushing to her face,
Palms are getting sweaty,
Dew builds on her brow,
As she builds her speed.
One mile down,
Must go faster.
Two miles down,
Lungs breathing harder.
Her heart races at its fastest now,
She must keep going,
She is almost there,
Closer and closer the end is near.
Three miles down,
She did it!
She made her goal.
Flushed faced and messy hair,
Joy bursts through her body,
Her mind is clear.
The run was a success,
Now to go home and rest,
Tomorrow she starts over.

The Day Lady Jane Died: In The Words of the Bloody Queen Mary

I am the Queen Mary and I am required to uphold the law of my land. Many may not think I am the rightful heir but I am Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon's lawful daughter, yet I am legitimate regardless of what my enemies say. Oh and poor, stupid Jane. I kept her alive as long as I could but too many of my enemies wanted to put her back on the throne and cause me to lose my head. I just couldn't keep her around. She was an innocent figure in this game of royalty and the Protestants will pay dearly for their treason against myself and the catholic church. Lady Jane and her overly ambitious husband were merely pawns in returning my people back to the true faith. For now I will take a moment to pray for her soul as she no longer carries her head. Maybe now my people will return to the true faith or burn for their crimes. I am the Catholic Queen of England and France and my people will be catholic!
