God Was Always with me
Out I look,
I see it all,
and yet there's more,
to be seen.
I feel the wind against my face,
I lift my head,
flap my wings,
I fly.
Soaring, spiraling,
sailing away,
to somewhere far away,
someplace new.
I arrive here,
It's not the same,
but different,
yet somehow right.
The air not quite as sweet,
The wind not as powerful,
The sky not as blue,
I hear a whisper.
I see a familiar face up in the clouds,
I won't have to worry anymore,
I never did,
God was always with me.
I see it all,

"I'm Late for a Very Important Date!"
As the white rabbit once said "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late". Well, that's exactly what I am. I haven't done any blogging in over a month. I know it really doesn't matter to much, but I like suppling my readers with fresh information. The problem is I can't think of anything!!! Writer's Block. I guess about everyone's been faced with that at least once. One thing I've learned from it is to not think to hard, or you might miss a great idea that's right under your nose. Also, sometimes it's not the right time to write. As cheesy as that play on words might sound, it's true. Every great writing piece begins with an inspiration; but how can you be inspired if you are searching for an inspiration? Another thing to consider is the big picture. The message your reader's will receive. I know this is all very overwhelming, but calm down, and take it step by step. Just pray, believe it can happen, and believe me, you will achieve!

Smiles
A smile means so many things,
Not one of us can know.
Everything that people say,
When their teeth begin to show.
The way their eyes twinkle,
as gentle as a dove's.
You see that your are receiving,
That silent sign of love.
A smile means so many things,
Not one of us can know.
Everything that people say,
When their teeth begin to show.
No bows, no bags, no ribbons,
It doesn't cost a dime.
Although this present,
Is probably the most prized.
A smile means so many things,
Not one of us can know.
Everything that people say,
When their teeth begin to show.
It's known by every town and city,
By every continent.
It's been given to us all before,
And it's something we've all sent.

Wow! II
There has been much success from this blog, in the short amount of time I've had it. However, The Wizard of Oz was not the only inspiration for "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Journey of a Catholic Poster Girl, a blog that you can link to from mine, did and still does inspire me. I am a catholic, myself, and are always looking for ways to spread the word of God. What better way to do so then start a blog?
I encourage everyone to please visit the blog, Journey of a Catholic Poster Girl, it inspired me and I guarantee it will inspire you, too!

Wow!
What my blog has become in just six months is more then I could've ever imagined. What started out to be a simple journal has turned into a place for poems, a home for humor, and a blog we can all call, Somewhere Over the Rainbow!
I also changed the template since I'm going with this "brand new" theme. I really do believe in my heart that this blog has come a long way, it not being up for a year yet, and still having so many posts and so many surprises on the sidebar.
My original purpose of this blog was to use the Wizard of Oz along with some of it's morals, and build from there, and I have; but I've also realized that even though books will start and end, it doesn't mean after you've finished them you should forget them. Creating this blog helped me to not forget The Wizard of Oz, even if I not actually going to read the story or watch the movie anytime soon.
So, as a writer and a reader I challenge you to never forget the books you read, even if you don't remember all the details.

I am Happy
This peom is dedicated to my dad,
Happy Father's Day, Dad!
Today I am happy as I sit here tonight,
Being blessed by God and all his might.
We sit here together enjoying a meal,
Each of us knowing this gift must be real.
Six people, six chairs,
All sitting together.
Not forgetting of course,
The seventh, our savior.
The life, the love, the laughs,
It's all a big blur,
But, God remembers it all,
That part is for sure.
As we drive home,
I feel like a dove.
Flying away,
Feeling the love.
We pull in the driveway,
And we're welcomed again.
The love is everlasting,
I believe. Amen.

Do Tom and Jerry Play Baseball?
Have you ever wondered; do Tom and Jerry play baseball? The answer is yes. You see, when Tom and Jerry aren't starring in the famous television sensation "Tom and Jerry", which causes them to act as though they extremely dislike each other, they are really good friends. However, because of their tight schedules they seem to never have time to just have fun. Because of this dilemma the best buds decided to take the summer months off. This enabled them to play a sport that they both love, together; baseball.
Before when the dynamic duo would play baseball together it would never be an organized sport, however this year is different. After a wonderful season of "Tom and Jerry" Tom and Jerry were ready to do something spectacular, after all, Jerry was turning the big 1-0! Hooray! The decision was made! But wait a minute, how can two unexperienced unorganized cartoons run a baseball league all on their own? Why not call up some of their old co-workers?
And together they formed The Terrific Team of Tunes, starting with Tom, president; Jerry, commissioner; Coyote, uniform; Road Runner, head equipment; Tweety, head umpire; and ending with Taz, assistant equipment. O and in case your wondering, Taz promised before the first game not to eat the equipment!
So the next time you are playing baseball, or perhaps just a game of catch remember these things: be safe, have fun, and never forget The Terrific Team of Tunes. They may be playing right now away from the rest of the world, in my and your, imagination!

Breaking News: Toto Cuts Her Hair!
As of yesterday, Thursday, May 18, 2007 Toto Gale from Kansas (also known as Dorothy's dog) has been scurrying around with a new due. That's right folks the lovable, huggable,fluffy, cute pouch is now a short, straight, layered haired mutt. I know this is a bit of a shock for many of you, who have always pictured Dorothy's trusty companion as cute and cuddly, however this image is now only a memory.
I know what you all are thinking, Does the once most adorable animal on the face of the earth regret her decision. The answer is no. According to Mr. and Mrs. Gale after the recent visit to the "dogie salon" Toto has been as happy as ever, and so far hasn't tried to enter Mrs. Gulch's lawn yet. Looks like Toto's hair-cut is here to stay!!

Mother's Day Weekend
This weekend is mother's day weekend. The weekend which reminds us of our love for our mothers, and everything they've done for us over the years. I also happen to know a song that always reminds me of my mother, called "Candle on the Water", and by the way, mom if you happen to be reading this,
"Happy Mother's Day!"
I'll be your candle on the water
My love for you will always burn
I know you're lost and drifting
But the clouds are lifting
Don't give up you'll have somewhere to turn
I'll be your candle on the water
'Till ev'ry wave is warm and bright
My soul is there beside you
Let this candle guide you
Soon you'll see a golden stream of light
A cold and friendless tide has found you
Don't let the stormy darkness pull you down
I'll paint a ray of hope around you
Circling in the air
Lighted by a prayer
I'll be your candle on the water
This flame inside of me will grow
Keep holding on you'll make it
Here's my hand so take it
Look for me reaching out to show
As sure as rivers flow
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go...
"Happy Mother's Day!"
I'll be your candle on the water

I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go...

Sarcastic Wednesday
Today I'm exhausted. Yesterday was... You know that expression a picture worth a thousand words...well, I'm pretty sure yesterday was worth more than that. Tuesday's are crazy I have to tell you...at least for me. In fact, last night was probably the most eventful nights I have had in a long time, but all the events were great and exciting ones. And now that you have read my words of wisdom for today...I need rest.

Got Through Monday
Why does everyone hate Mondays? Mondays really aren't that bad, yet everyone seems to strongly dislike this particular day of the week. This false rumor must have started somewhere and it just spread and spread. Just because Monday is the first day of the work week does not mean it is so bad. I actually happen to like Mondays, a day to just take it easy, get back into the swing of things and get ready for the week ahead.

Big Week Ahead
I have a big week ahead. I know this, and I know that because of this may be not everything will go the way I want it to. But, it's not about the way I want it to or what I think is "perfect"that matters, because may be what I think is "perfect" isn't what God thinks is "perfect". God knows best.
This is one of the many things I learned while listening to a priest talk about adoration. He was a very moving speaker, and as he spoke I felt myself getting closer and closer to God. As he spoke I felt God speaking through him. As he spoke the sun was shining through the stained glass windows letting everyone know that he was and is right now present in our minds on our lips and in our hearts. It was also very amazing and something I will never forget, because it was on my birthday. I got to hear a priest talk about adoration on my birthday. And now, I'm using what I've learned to make this next week the greatest and most faithful and successful week of my entire life. Wow.

So Close I Begin to Worry...
So close I begin to worry
What if I mess up,
Forget a line,
Forget a step,
Forget to dot my i's.
Forget the stove,
Forget the garage door,
Forget what was said over 10 hundred times
Forget a page,
Forget a time,
Forget a question
Forget to say a prayer.
When I see I have forgotten, and everyone but me remembers, I laugh and know I'm only human and i don't have to worry because even if others don't understand God does.
Everyone forgets, I'm just the kind of person that when I forget I let it go.
let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
don't you know
the hardest part is over
let it in,
let your clarity define you
in the end
we will only just remember how it feels
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain
let it slide,
let your troubles fall behind you
let it shine
until you feel it all around you
and i don't mind
if it's me you need to turn to
we'll get by,
it's the heart that really matters in the end
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain
all of my regret
will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now
in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away but these small hours
these small hours, still remain,
still remain
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these little wonders still remain

Memorable quotes for The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Speaking of Quotes from The Wizard of Oz...
Auntie Em: Now you go feed those hogs before they worry themselves into anemia!
Miss Gulch: Mr. Gale?
Uncle Henry Gale: Well, howdy, Miss Gulch.
Miss Gulch: [comes into the Gales yard] I want to see you and your wife right away about Dorothy.
Uncle Henry Gale: Dorothy? Well, what has Dorothy done?
Miss Gulch: What she's done? I'm all but lame from the bite on my leg!
Uncle Henry Gale: You mean she bit you?
Miss Gulch: No, her dog!
Uncle Henry Gale: Oh, she bit her dog, eh?
Miss Gulch: [Uncle Henry tries to shut the gate, but ends up hitting her on the backside] No!
Auntie Em Gale: Almira Gulch. Just because you own half the town doesn't mean that you have the power to run the rest of us. For twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now... well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!
Dorothy: Don't be silly, Toto. Scarecrows don't talk.
Dorothy: Lions and tigers and bears! Oh, my!
Dorothy: Oh please, Professor, why can't we go with you and see all the Crowned Heads of Europe?
Professor Marvel: Do you know any? Oh, you mean the... thing. Yes.
Professor Marvel: Professor Marvel never guesses. He knows!
Scarecrow: Come along Dorothy. You don't want any of those apples.
Apple Tree: Are you hinting my apples aren't what they ought to be?
Scarecrow: Oh, no! It's just that she doesn't like little green worms!
Cowardly Lion: All right, I'll go in there for Dorothy. Wicked Witch or no Wicked Witch, guards or no guards, I'll tear them apart. I may not come out alive, but I'm going in there. There's only one thing I want you fellows to do.
Tin Woodsman, Scarecrow: What's that?
Cowardly Lion: Talk me out of it.
Cowardly Lion: Courage! What makes a king out of a slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What makes the sphinx the seventh wonder? Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage! What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the "ape" in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got?
Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Woodsman: Courage!
Cowardly Lion: You can say that again! Huh?
Cowardly Lion: I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do! I do! I do! I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do! I do! I do! I do!
Wicked Witch of the West: You'll believe in more than that before I'm finished with you.
Cowardly Lion: I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do, I do, I do, I do, I *do* believe in spooks,
Wicked Witch of the West: The last to go will see the first three go before her. And her little dog too.
Dorothy: Weren't you frightened?
Wizard of Oz: Frightened? Child, you're talking to a man who's laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom, and chuckled at catastrophe... I was petrified.
Dorothy: Do you think there could be wild animals in here?
Tin Woodsman: Perhaps.
Scarecrow: Even ones that, that eat... straw?
Tin Woodsman: Some, but mostly lions and tigers and bears.
Dorothy: Lions?
Scarecrow: And tigers?
Tin Woodsman: And bears.
Cowardly Lion: Put 'em up, put 'em up! Which one of you first? I can fight you both together if you want. I can fight you with one paw tied behind my back. I can fight you standing on one foot. I can fight you with my eyes closed. Oh, pull an axe on me, eh? Sneaking up on me, eh? Why, I'll... Ruff!
Dorothy: Your majesty, if you were king, you wouldn't be afraid of anything?
Cowardly Lion: Not nobody. Not nohow.
Tin Woodsman: Not even a rhinoceros?
Cowardly Lion: Imposerous!
Dorothy: Supposing you met an elephant?
Cowardly Lion: I'd wrap him up in cellophant.
Dorothy: What about a hippopotamus?
Cowardly Lion: I'd thrash him from top to bottomus.
Scarecrow: What if it were a brontosaurus?
Cowardly Lion: I'd show him who was king of the forest.
Mayor of Munchkin City: Then this is a day of independence for all the Munchkins and their descendants.
Munchkin: If any.
Mayor of Munchkin City: Let the joyous news be spread. The wicked witch at last is dead!
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Who rang that bell?
Dorothy, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Tin Woodsman: We did?
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Can't you read?
Scarecrow: Read what?
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: The notice!
Dorothy, Scarecrow: What Notice?
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: It's on the door - as plain as the nose on my face! It - Oh...
[Doorman hangs the notice and goes back inside]
Dorothy, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Tin Woodsman: [Reading notice] Bell out of order, please knock.
[Dorothy knocks]
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Well, that's more like it! Now, state your business.
Scarecrow: What about the heart that you promised Tin Man? Or the courage you promised Lion?
Tin Woodsman, Cowardly Lion: And Scarecrow's brain?
Wizard of Oz: You, my friend, are a victim of disorganized thinking. You are under the unfortunate impression that just because you run away you have no courage; you're confusing courage with wisdom.
Cowardly Lion: I- I- I hope my strength holds out.
Tin Woodsman: [hanging by Lion's tail] I hope your tail holds out!
Dorothy: My Goodness, what a fuss you're making. Well naturally, when you go around picking on things weaker than you are. Why, you're nothing but a great big coward.
Cowardly Lion: [crying] You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.
[sobs]
Cowardly Lion: Look at the circles under my eyes. I haven't slept in weeks.
Tin Woodsman: Why don't you try counting sheep?
Cowardly Lion: That doesn't do any good. I'm afraid of them.
[sobs loud]
Scarecrow: Ah, that's too bad.
Wizard of Oz: Do not arouse the wrath of the great and powerful Oz. I said come back tomorrow.
Zeke: Listen, kid. Are you gonna try and let that old Gulch heifer try and buffalo ya'. She ain't nothing to be afraid of. Have a little courage, that's all.
Dorothy: I'm not afraid of her.
Zeke: Then the next time she squawks, walk right up to her and spit in her eye. That's what I'd do.
Wicked Witch of the West: Ring around the rosie, a pocket full of spears.
[the Cowardly Lion has just received a Courage Medal from the Wizard of Oz]
Cowardly Lion: Shucks, folks, I'm speechless. Ha Ha!
Coroner: [singing] She's not only merely dead / She's really most sincerely dead.
Wizard of Oz: A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others.
Dorothy: Did you say something?
Tin Woodsman: Oilcan.
Dorothy: He said oilcan.
Scarecrow: Oil can what?
Dorothy: Where do you want to be oiled first?
Auntie Em: Why don't you find a place where there isn't any trouble.
Dorothy: A place where there isn't any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away. Behind the moon, beyond the rain.
Dorothy: Toto, I've
[got]
Dorothy: a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
Dorothy: My! People come and go so quickly here!
Wicked Witch of the West: Going so soon? I wouldn't hear of it. Why my little party's just beginning.
Wicked Witch of the West: I'll get you my pretty... and your little dog too!
Cowardly Lion: I'll get you anyway, Pee-wee.
[Chases Toto; Dorothy hits him on the nose]
Dorothy: Shame on you!
Cowardly Lion: [Sobbing] Why did you do that for? I didn't bite him.
Dorothy: No, but you tried to. It's bad enough picking on a straw man, but picking on a little dog.
Cowardly Lion: Well, you didn't have to go and hit me! Is my nose bleeding?
Dorothy: Of course not.
Cowardly Lion: [singing] If I were king of the fore-e-e-est / Not queen, not duke, not prince / My royal robes of the fore-e-e-est / Would be satin, not cotton, not chintz / I'd command each thing, whether fish or fowl / With a r-r-ruff and a r-r-ruff, and a royal growl - R-R-Ruff! / As I click my heels / All the trees would kneal / And the mounains bow / And the bulls kowtow / And the sparrow would take wing / If I, if I were ki-i-i-i-ng! / The rabbits would show respect to me / The chipmunks genuflect to me / Though my tail would lash / I would show compash / For every underling / If I, if I were king / Just ki-i-i-i-ing!
Wicked Witch of the West: Just try and stay out of my way. Just try! I'll get you, my pretty and your little dog too!
Scarecrow: I haven't got a brain... only straw.
Dorothy: How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.
Tin Woodsman: Go away and leave us alone.
Cowardly Lion: Oh, scared huh? Afraid, huh? Ah, how long can you stay fresh in that can? Ha ha ha ha.
Scarecrow: First they
[the Flying Monkeys]
Scarecrow: took my legs off and they threw them over there! Then they took my chest out and they threw it over there!
Tin Woodsman: Well, that's you all over!
[Dorothy watches the Wicked Witch melt]
Wicked Witch of the West: Who ever thought a little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness?
Wizard of Oz: Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
Wizard of Oz: As for you, my galvanized friend, you want a heart. You don't know how lucky you are not to have one. Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
Tin Woodsman: But I still want one.
Wizard of Oz: Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma.
Scarecrow: The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side. Oh joy! Rapture! I got a brain! How can I ever thank you enough?
Wizard of Oz: You can't.
Tin Woodsman: What have you learned, Dorothy?
Dorothy: Well, I - I think that it - it wasn't enough to just want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em - and it's that - if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with! Is that right?
[last lines]
Dorothy: Oh, but anyway, Toto, we're home. Home! And this is my room, and you're all here. And I'm not gonna leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all, and - oh, Auntie Em - there's no place like home!
[Dorothy is brought to the Witch's castle]
Wicked Witch of the West: What a nice little dog. And you, my dear. What an unexpected pleasure. It's so kind of you to want to visit me in my loneliness.
Wicked Witch of the West: Who killed my sister? Who killed the Witch of the East? Was it you?
Dorothy: No, no. It was an accident. I didn't mean to kill anybody.
Wicked Witch of the West: Well, my little pretty, I can cause accidents, too!
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Orders are nobody can see the Great Oz! Not nobody, not nohow!
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Now, state your business.
Dorothy: We want to see the wizard!
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: The wizard? But nobody can see the great Oz, nobody's *ever* seen the great Oz... even I've never seen him!
Dorothy: Well then, how do you know there is one?
Wizard of Oz: You people should consider yourselves lucky that I'm granting you an audience tomorrow instead of 20 years from now.
Scarecrow: I'm not afraid of her. I'm not afraid of anything - except a lighted match.
[points to the straw in his arm]
Dorothy: I don't blame you for that.
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: You have no power here! Now begone, before somebody drops a house on you!
[Dorothy has thrown water on the Wicked Witch of the West]
Wicked Witch of the West: I'm melting! I'm melting!
Dorothy: Oh, Thank you so much! We've been gone such a long time and we feel so messy... What kind of a horse is that? I've never seen a horse like that before!
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: And never will again, I fancy. There's only one of him and he's it. He's the Horse of a Different Color, you've heard tell about.
Manicurist in Emerald City: We can make a dimpled smile out of a frown.
Dorothy: Can you even dye my eyes to match my gown?
Manicurist in Emerald City: Uh-huh.
Dorothy: Jolly old town!
Cowardly Lion: [singing] I'm afraid there's no denyin' / I'm just a dandy-lion / A fate I don't deserve / I'm sure I could show my prowess / Be a lion, not a mouse / If I only had the nerve.
Wicked Witch of the West: [as she is melting away] "Ohhhhh... What a world! What a world!"
Ozmites: [singing] We get up at 12 and start to work at 1! Take an hour for lunch and then, at 2, we're done! Jolly good fun!
Dorothy: What would you do with a brain if you had one?
[Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man watch as the Wicked Witch of the West vanishes into a fireball]
Scarecrow: I'm not afraid of her! I'll see you get safely to the Wizard now, whether I get a brain or not. Stuff a mattress with me. Ha!
Tin Woodsman: I'll see you reach the Wizard, whether I get a heart or not. Beehive, bah! Let her try and make a beehive out of me!
Dorothy: Oh, you're the best friends anybody ever had. And it's funny, but I feel as if I'd known you all the time, but I couldn't have, could I?
Scarecrow: I don't see how. You weren't around when I was stuffed and sewn together, were you?
Tin Woodsman: And I was standing over there, rusting for the longest time.
Dorothy: Still, I wish I could remember, but I guess it doesn't matter anyway. We know each other now, don't we?
Scarecrow: That's right.
Tin Woodsman: We do.
Scarecrow: To Oz?
Tin Woodsman: To Oz.
Tin Woodsman: Now I know I have a heart, because it's breaking
Dorothy: You go away or I - I'll bite you myself!
Auntie Em: Dorothy!
Hunk: Now look here, Dorothy, you ain't using your head about Miss Gulch. You'd think you didn't have any brains at all.
Dorothy: I have so got brains.
Hunk: Well, why don't you use them. When you come home, don't go by Miss Gulch's place. Then Toto won't get in her garden, and you won't get in no trouble. See?
Dorothy: Oh Hunk, you just won't listen, that's all.
Hunk: Well, your head ain't made of straw, you know.
Dorothy: [to the Scarecrow] I think I'll miss you most of all.
Auntie Em: I saw you tinkering with that contraption, Hickory. Now you and Hunk get back to that wagon.
Hickory: All right, Mrs. Gale. But someday, they're going to erect a statue to me in this town
Auntie Em: Well, don't start posing for it now.
Cowardly Lion: Come on, get up and fight, you shivering junkyard!
[goes over to the Scarecrow]
Cowardly Lion: And put your hands up, you lopsided bag of hay!
Scarecrow: Now that's getting personal, Lion.
Tin Woodsman: Yes. Get up and teach him a lesson.
Scarecrow: Well, what's wrong with you teaching him?
Tin Woodsman: Well, I hardly know him.
Cowardly Lion: Come on, get up and fight, ya shivering junkyard! Put your hands up, ya lopsided bag o' hay!
Scarecrow: Now that's getting personal, Lion!
Tin Woodsman: Yes. Get up and teach him a lesson.
Scarecrow: W-w-what's wrong with y-y-you teaching him?
Tin Woodsman: W-w-well, I hardly know him.
Cowardly Lion: [getting a panic attack walking into the Wizard's foyer] Wait a minute, Fellows. I was just thinking. I really don't want to see the Wizard this much. I'd better wait for you outside.
Scarecrow: What's the matter?
Tin Woodsman: Oh, he's just a scared again.
Dorothy: Don't you know the Wizard's going to give you some courage?
Cowardly Lion: I'd be too scared to ask him for it.
[sobs]
Dorothy: Well then, we'll ask him for you.
Cowardly Lion: I'd sooner wait outside.
Dorothy: Why? Why?
Cowardly Lion: Because I'm still scared.
[sobs]
Wicked Witch of the West: Helping the little lady along are you, my fine gentlemen? Well stay away from her, or I'll stuff a mattress with you! And you, I'll make you into a beehive. Here Scarecrow, want to play ball?
Wizard of Oz: You are talking to a man who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe.
Scarecrow: I could while away the hours/conferrin' with the flowers/consultin' with the rain/And my head I'd be scratchin'/ While my thoughts were busy hatchin'/If I only had a brain.
Tin Woodsman: I can barely hear my heart beating!
Dorothy: [Reaches to pick an apple from the apple tree, the tree grabs the apple and slaps her hand] Ouch!
Apple Tree: What'd'ya think you're doing?
Dorothy: We've been walking a long ways and I was hungry and... did you say something?
Apple Tree: She was hungry! Well, how would you like to have someone come along and pick something off of you?
Dorothy: Oh dear! I keep forgetting I'm not in Kansas!
Scarecrow: Come along Dorothy. You don't want any of those apples!
Uncle Henry Gale: Come on, everybody to the storm cellar!
Dorothy: [as the Wizard's balloon goes off without her] Come back! Come back! Don't leave without me! Come back!
Wizard of Oz: I can't come back! I don't know how it works! Good-bye folks!
Scarecrow: I've got a way to get us in there, and you're gonna lead us.
Wicked Witch of the West: How about a little fire, Scarecrow?
Cowardly Lion: I'd be brave as a blizzard...
Tin Woodsman: I'd be gentle as a lizard...
Scarecrow: I'd be clever as a gizzard...
Dorothy: If the Wizard is a wizard who will serve.
Scarecrow: Then I'm sure to get a brain...
Tin Woodsman: A heart...
Dorothy: A home...
Cowardly Lion: The nerve!
Cowardly Lion: Read what my medal says: "Courage". Ain't it the truth? Ain't it the truth?
Tin Woodsman: Help! Help!
Scarecrow: It's no use screaming at a time like this. Nobody will hear you. Help! Help!
Wizard of Oz: They have one thing you haven't got: a diploma. Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Universitartus Committiartum E Pluribus Unum, I hereby confer upon you the honorary degree of ThD.
Scarecrow: ThD?
Wizard of Oz: That's... Doctor of Thinkology.
Wizard of Oz: Back where I come from there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. They are called phila... er, phila... er, yes, er, Good Deed Doers.
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?
Dorothy: I'm not a witch at all. I'm Dorothy Gale from Kansas.
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: Oh. Well, is that the witch?
Dorothy: Who, Toto? Toto's my dog!
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: Ooh! What a smell of sulfur.
Dorothy: We must be over the rainbow!
Wizard of Oz: To confer, converse, and otherwise hob-nob with my brother wizards.
Dorothy: I've got a witch mad at me and you might get into trouble!
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: Only bad witches are ugly.
[first lines]
Dorothy: She isn't coming yet, Toto. Did she hurt you? She tried to, didn't she? Come on. We'll go tell Uncle Henry and Auntie Em.
Hunk: It's a twister! It's a twister!
Dorothy: Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Bluebirds fly. Birds fly Over The Rainbow. Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why cant I?
The Winkies: [singing repeatedly] Oh we oh, yooo ho!
Wicked Witch of the West: And now, my beauties, something with poison in it. Poppies... Poppies. Poppies will put them to sleep. Sleep. Now they'll sleep!

Auntie Em: Now you go feed those hogs before they worry themselves into anemia!
Miss Gulch: Mr. Gale?
Uncle Henry Gale: Well, howdy, Miss Gulch.
Miss Gulch: [comes into the Gales yard] I want to see you and your wife right away about Dorothy.
Uncle Henry Gale: Dorothy? Well, what has Dorothy done?
Miss Gulch: What she's done? I'm all but lame from the bite on my leg!
Uncle Henry Gale: You mean she bit you?
Miss Gulch: No, her dog!
Uncle Henry Gale: Oh, she bit her dog, eh?
Miss Gulch: [Uncle Henry tries to shut the gate, but ends up hitting her on the backside] No!
Auntie Em Gale: Almira Gulch. Just because you own half the town doesn't mean that you have the power to run the rest of us. For twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now... well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!
Dorothy: Don't be silly, Toto. Scarecrows don't talk.
Dorothy: Lions and tigers and bears! Oh, my!
Dorothy: Oh please, Professor, why can't we go with you and see all the Crowned Heads of Europe?
Professor Marvel: Do you know any? Oh, you mean the... thing. Yes.
Professor Marvel: Professor Marvel never guesses. He knows!
Scarecrow: Come along Dorothy. You don't want any of those apples.
Apple Tree: Are you hinting my apples aren't what they ought to be?
Scarecrow: Oh, no! It's just that she doesn't like little green worms!
Cowardly Lion: All right, I'll go in there for Dorothy. Wicked Witch or no Wicked Witch, guards or no guards, I'll tear them apart. I may not come out alive, but I'm going in there. There's only one thing I want you fellows to do.
Tin Woodsman, Scarecrow: What's that?
Cowardly Lion: Talk me out of it.
Cowardly Lion: Courage! What makes a king out of a slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What makes the sphinx the seventh wonder? Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage! What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the "ape" in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got?
Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Woodsman: Courage!
Cowardly Lion: You can say that again! Huh?
Cowardly Lion: I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do! I do! I do! I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do! I do! I do! I do!
Wicked Witch of the West: You'll believe in more than that before I'm finished with you.
Cowardly Lion: I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do, I do, I do, I do, I *do* believe in spooks,
Wicked Witch of the West: The last to go will see the first three go before her. And her little dog too.
Dorothy: Weren't you frightened?
Wizard of Oz: Frightened? Child, you're talking to a man who's laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom, and chuckled at catastrophe... I was petrified.
Dorothy: Do you think there could be wild animals in here?
Tin Woodsman: Perhaps.
Scarecrow: Even ones that, that eat... straw?
Tin Woodsman: Some, but mostly lions and tigers and bears.
Dorothy: Lions?
Scarecrow: And tigers?
Tin Woodsman: And bears.
Cowardly Lion: Put 'em up, put 'em up! Which one of you first? I can fight you both together if you want. I can fight you with one paw tied behind my back. I can fight you standing on one foot. I can fight you with my eyes closed. Oh, pull an axe on me, eh? Sneaking up on me, eh? Why, I'll... Ruff!
Dorothy: Your majesty, if you were king, you wouldn't be afraid of anything?
Cowardly Lion: Not nobody. Not nohow.
Tin Woodsman: Not even a rhinoceros?
Cowardly Lion: Imposerous!
Dorothy: Supposing you met an elephant?
Cowardly Lion: I'd wrap him up in cellophant.
Dorothy: What about a hippopotamus?
Cowardly Lion: I'd thrash him from top to bottomus.
Scarecrow: What if it were a brontosaurus?
Cowardly Lion: I'd show him who was king of the forest.
Mayor of Munchkin City: Then this is a day of independence for all the Munchkins and their descendants.
Munchkin: If any.
Mayor of Munchkin City: Let the joyous news be spread. The wicked witch at last is dead!
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Who rang that bell?
Dorothy, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Tin Woodsman: We did?
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Can't you read?
Scarecrow: Read what?
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: The notice!
Dorothy, Scarecrow: What Notice?
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: It's on the door - as plain as the nose on my face! It - Oh...
[Doorman hangs the notice and goes back inside]
Dorothy, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Tin Woodsman: [Reading notice] Bell out of order, please knock.
[Dorothy knocks]
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Well, that's more like it! Now, state your business.
Scarecrow: What about the heart that you promised Tin Man? Or the courage you promised Lion?
Tin Woodsman, Cowardly Lion: And Scarecrow's brain?
Wizard of Oz: You, my friend, are a victim of disorganized thinking. You are under the unfortunate impression that just because you run away you have no courage; you're confusing courage with wisdom.
Cowardly Lion: I- I- I hope my strength holds out.
Tin Woodsman: [hanging by Lion's tail] I hope your tail holds out!
Dorothy: My Goodness, what a fuss you're making. Well naturally, when you go around picking on things weaker than you are. Why, you're nothing but a great big coward.
Cowardly Lion: [crying] You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.
[sobs]
Cowardly Lion: Look at the circles under my eyes. I haven't slept in weeks.
Tin Woodsman: Why don't you try counting sheep?
Cowardly Lion: That doesn't do any good. I'm afraid of them.
[sobs loud]
Scarecrow: Ah, that's too bad.
Wizard of Oz: Do not arouse the wrath of the great and powerful Oz. I said come back tomorrow.
Zeke: Listen, kid. Are you gonna try and let that old Gulch heifer try and buffalo ya'. She ain't nothing to be afraid of. Have a little courage, that's all.
Dorothy: I'm not afraid of her.
Zeke: Then the next time she squawks, walk right up to her and spit in her eye. That's what I'd do.
Wicked Witch of the West: Ring around the rosie, a pocket full of spears.
[the Cowardly Lion has just received a Courage Medal from the Wizard of Oz]
Cowardly Lion: Shucks, folks, I'm speechless. Ha Ha!
Coroner: [singing] She's not only merely dead / She's really most sincerely dead.
Wizard of Oz: A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others.
Dorothy: Did you say something?
Tin Woodsman: Oilcan.
Dorothy: He said oilcan.
Scarecrow: Oil can what?
Dorothy: Where do you want to be oiled first?
Auntie Em: Why don't you find a place where there isn't any trouble.
Dorothy: A place where there isn't any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away. Behind the moon, beyond the rain.
Dorothy: Toto, I've
[got]
Dorothy: a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
Dorothy: My! People come and go so quickly here!
Wicked Witch of the West: Going so soon? I wouldn't hear of it. Why my little party's just beginning.
Wicked Witch of the West: I'll get you my pretty... and your little dog too!
Cowardly Lion: I'll get you anyway, Pee-wee.
[Chases Toto; Dorothy hits him on the nose]
Dorothy: Shame on you!
Cowardly Lion: [Sobbing] Why did you do that for? I didn't bite him.
Dorothy: No, but you tried to. It's bad enough picking on a straw man, but picking on a little dog.
Cowardly Lion: Well, you didn't have to go and hit me! Is my nose bleeding?
Dorothy: Of course not.
Cowardly Lion: [singing] If I were king of the fore-e-e-est / Not queen, not duke, not prince / My royal robes of the fore-e-e-est / Would be satin, not cotton, not chintz / I'd command each thing, whether fish or fowl / With a r-r-ruff and a r-r-ruff, and a royal growl - R-R-Ruff! / As I click my heels / All the trees would kneal / And the mounains bow / And the bulls kowtow / And the sparrow would take wing / If I, if I were ki-i-i-i-ng! / The rabbits would show respect to me / The chipmunks genuflect to me / Though my tail would lash / I would show compash / For every underling / If I, if I were king / Just ki-i-i-i-ing!
Wicked Witch of the West: Just try and stay out of my way. Just try! I'll get you, my pretty and your little dog too!
Scarecrow: I haven't got a brain... only straw.
Dorothy: How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.
Tin Woodsman: Go away and leave us alone.
Cowardly Lion: Oh, scared huh? Afraid, huh? Ah, how long can you stay fresh in that can? Ha ha ha ha.
Scarecrow: First they
[the Flying Monkeys]
Scarecrow: took my legs off and they threw them over there! Then they took my chest out and they threw it over there!
Tin Woodsman: Well, that's you all over!
[Dorothy watches the Wicked Witch melt]
Wicked Witch of the West: Who ever thought a little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness?
Wizard of Oz: Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
Wizard of Oz: As for you, my galvanized friend, you want a heart. You don't know how lucky you are not to have one. Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
Tin Woodsman: But I still want one.
Wizard of Oz: Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma.
Scarecrow: The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side. Oh joy! Rapture! I got a brain! How can I ever thank you enough?
Wizard of Oz: You can't.
Tin Woodsman: What have you learned, Dorothy?
Dorothy: Well, I - I think that it - it wasn't enough to just want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em - and it's that - if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with! Is that right?
[last lines]
Dorothy: Oh, but anyway, Toto, we're home. Home! And this is my room, and you're all here. And I'm not gonna leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all, and - oh, Auntie Em - there's no place like home!

Scarecrow: I'm not afraid of her. I'm not afraid of anything - except a lighted match.

Dorothy: I don't blame you for that.
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: You have no power here! Now begone, before somebody drops a house on you!

Wicked Witch of the West: [as she is melting away] "Ohhhhh... What a world! What a world!"
Ozmites: [singing] We get up at 12 and start to work at 1! Take an hour for lunch and then, at 2, we're done! Jolly good fun!
Dorothy: What would you do with a brain if you had one?
[Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man watch as the Wicked Witch of the West vanishes into a fireball]
Scarecrow: I'm not afraid of her! I'll see you get safely to the Wizard now, whether I get a brain or not. Stuff a mattress with me. Ha!
Tin Woodsman: I'll see you reach the Wizard, whether I get a heart or not. Beehive, bah! Let her try and make a beehive out of me!
Dorothy: Oh, you're the best friends anybody ever had. And it's funny, but I feel as if I'd known you all the time, but I couldn't have, could I?

Wizard of Oz: Back where I come from there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. They are called phila... er, phila... er, yes, er, Good Deed Doers.
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?
Dorothy: I'm not a witch at all. I'm Dorothy Gale from Kansas.
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: Oh. Well, is that the witch?
Dorothy: Who, Toto? Toto's my dog!
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: Ooh! What a smell of sulfur.
Dorothy: We must be over the rainbow!
Wizard of Oz: To confer, converse, and otherwise hob-nob with my brother wizards.
Dorothy: I've got a witch mad at me and you might get into trouble!
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: Only bad witches are ugly.
[first lines]
Dorothy: She isn't coming yet, Toto. Did she hurt you? She tried to, didn't she? Come on. We'll go tell Uncle Henry and Auntie Em.
Hunk: It's a twister! It's a twister!
Dorothy: Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Bluebirds fly. Birds fly Over The Rainbow. Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why cant I?
The Winkies: [singing repeatedly] Oh we oh, yooo ho!
Wicked Witch of the West: And now, my beauties, something with poison in it. Poppies... Poppies. Poppies will put them to sleep. Sleep. Now they'll sleep!

washington d.c. was amazing!
i can't wait until the pictures develop, so i can post them, because words cannot describe the feeling you get when an enormous sculpture of abraham lincoln is towering above you, or when you turn around and suddenly see the washington monument and all it's beauty...it really was a beautiful day.
its a beautiful day
sky falls you feel like
its a beautiful day
dont let it get away
Jitterbugs
Just thought you might want to know...
Jitterbugs are dancing bugs that were in the original screen play of The Wizard of Oz, but were later taken out. They meet Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin man and Lion after they have visited the Wizard of Oz, and he tells them that they need to get the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West, and right before the flying monkeys come swooping down to capture Dorothy. They are important to the story line because their dancing causes Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin man, and Lion to start dancing until they have danced so much, and are so tired, that they fall to the ground in exhaustion, making it very easy for the flying monkeys to scoop Dorothy off of the ground and fly her to the Witch's castle.

God is Always There
This morning I woke up not feeling too well. I threw up a couple times. Today's been just as crazy as yesterday! The good news is I feel much better now. Being sick isn't fun, but as long as you trust in God, and believe he'll help you get threw it, you will get through it. No matter what happens, God is there. As long as you remember that, everything seems better.

Way Too Busy!!!
Today was fun but way too busy! Saturdays are always that way for me, but today seemed busier because of such a busy week I had!!! But, no worries, this week will be a lot more relaxing!! Yahoo for me!!!
Speaking of busy, I'm so sorry to the readers of my blog that I haven't wrote in it since more than a month ago!! I hope you understand. I just had so much going on in the past month it's mind boggling!!! March, April, and May I look pretty swamped, too. But, as long as I take it one day at a time, and have faith, I'm sure everything will fall into place. And, I promise I won't have a whole month pass by before i write in my blog again, this time!!!

Let It Snow!
Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kissgoodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

E IS FOR EMOTION, WHICH IS EXPRESSED ON THE FACES OF OTHERS AS WELL AS YOURSELF.
EMOTION. WE COME ACROSS IT EVERY DAY. SOMETIMES WE FEEL SAD, SOMETIMES WE FEEL HAPPY, SOMETIMES WE FEEL IN BETWEEN. BUT ON VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE SEEMS TO EXPRESS MORE EMOTION. WHETHER IT BE BECAUSE OF A SUGAR RUSH, A BOUQUET OF ROSES, OR SIMPLY THE JOY OF KNOWING YOU'RE LOVED, WITHOUT EMOTION VALENTINES DAY JUST WOULDN'T BE VALENTINES DAY. PICTURE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES AND ROSES PLACED ON THE PORCH OF A BELOVED LADY OR GENTLEMAN. THE PERSON FINDS THE PRESENTS GIVEN TO THEM BY SOMEONE WHO LOVES THEM VERY MUCH AND INSTEAD OF JUMPING FOR JOY THEY PICK UP THE PRESENTS AND BRING THEM INTO THE HOUSE, ONLY TO BE FORGOTTEN. I KNOW IF I WAS THE SPECIAL SOMEONE WHO WENT TO THE TROUBLE OF BUYING ROSES AND CHOCOLATES FOR SOMEONE I LOVED, I WOULD BE VERY HURT TO FIND OUT THEY HAD BEEN IGNORED LIKE THAT, UNLESS OF COURSE I HAD NO EMOTION EITHER. AS YOU SEE EMOTION IS VERY IMPORTANT, IT'S A VERY SPECIAL GIFT FROM GOD, AND WITHOUT IT LIFE WOULD BE QUITE BORING.

A IS FOR ADORATION, FOR THOSE YOU ADORE.
LOVE. WHAT A WONDERFUL THOUGHT. ADORATION IS JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR LOVE. WHEN YOU THINK OF LOVE, YOU THINK VALENTINES DAY, YOU THINK CHOCOLATES, YOU THINK THE SWEET SMELL OF ROSES; WHEN YOU THINK OF ADORATION THE SAME THINGS COME TO MIND. THEREFORE, THOSE YOU LOVE ARE ALSO THOSE YOU ADORE, AND THOSE YOU ADORE ARE THOSE YOU LOVE.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow: Lyrics
Part of the inspiration for the name of my blog comes from the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from the movie the Wizard of Oz. I very much enjoy that movie and wanted to share my joy with you! If you have seen this film you understand the magical feeling that Dorothy (main character) is filled with when entering the wonderful world of Oz. Although, from the beginning she wants to travel somewhere over the rainbow she soon realizes that the grass isn't always greener on the other side and she wants deeply to go back to Kansas where she began, and with a little help from Glinda, the good which of the north, Dorothy is brought home safely. Perhaps you feel like Dorothy, wanting so much to grow wings and travel over the rainbow; but don't forget, no matter where you are, you can always find adventure.
Below are the lyrics to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Feel free to take a look.
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why oh why can't I?

Choices
Reading a good book is better than...
staying on the computer for hours and hours...
playing video games until your fingers are numb...
watching a movie instead of using your own imagination...
Where would you rather spend your time - a bookstore, or the mall?
At a party or at a library?
Leaving the job for someone else to do, or volunteering?
W.W.J.D.? WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?

Color is Everywhere
It's on the place-mat,
on the rug,
In the cabinet,
on the mug.
In the bedroom,
on the wall,
In the picture,
in the hall.
It's on the curtain,
on the chairs,
on your face,
in your hair.
Out the door,
the sky the sun,
within the grass,
on which you run.
It's up so high,
that you can't reach,
it's down so low,
beneath your feet.
It's spooky,
and will make you scream,
It's tasty,
like a bowl of ice cream.
It stands for symbols,
on flags and signs,
it's inside glitter,
to help it shine.
It's microscopic,
in tiny cells,
It's so gigantic,
on churchs' bells.
It is color,
that is true,
and Gods made it,
especially for me and you!
