Days Like This...Katy.

She rode a horse to her wedding.


This is Katy. You know her. For over a year she has been writing an insightful, moving, and brilliantly hilarious blog chronicling her adoption process.

This week she received the news she had been waiting for...

Two children, halfway across the world, would soon be placed in her care.

In her honor, I would like to present this song …

Katy and I share a love for Van the Man. If you can't see it, or if you press play and can’t hear it, it is because Mr.V.M. doesn’t like it when people use his music in cyberspace. (There is nothing worse than an angry Irishman one shot shy of a Jameson’s buzz on).

If that happens, here are the lyrics. Sing it yourself, LOUDLY. You know the tune.

While you are singing, think of Katy and Aldous and the twin girls they will meet shortly.

When it's not always raining
there'll be days like this
When there's no one complaining
there'll be days like this
Everything falls into phase
like the flick of a switch
Well my momma told me
there'll be days like this

When you don't need to worry
there'll be days like this
When no one's in a hurry
there'll be days like this
When you don't get betrayed
by that old Judas kiss
Oh my momma told me
there'll be days like this

When you don't need an answer
there'll be days like this
When you don't meet a chancer
there'll be days like this
When all the parts of the puzzle
start to look like they fit
Then I must remember
there'll be days like this

When everyone is upfront
and they're not playing tricks
When you don't have no freeloaders
out to get their kicks in
When it's nobody's business
the way that you wanna live
I just have to remember
there'll be days like this

When no one steps on my dreams
there'll be days like this
When people understand what I mean
there'll be days like this
When you bring out the changes
of how everything is
Well my momma told me
there'll be days like this

Oh my momma told me
there'll be days like this
Well my momma told me
there'll be days like this
Oh my momma told me
there'll be days like this
Oh my momma told me
there'll be days like this

Congratulations. I think I finally know the real definition of Straight Magic.
