Bah-Humbug

One of my gifts for someone is not going to get here by christmas. Even though I ordered it back on the 4th of December. And talking to the people on the phone is just as frustrating. I say "Is there any way you can check on the status of the order because it should've shipped out 2 days ago (so your website says) and it still has not left your warehouse. I ordered this way early so that it would get here in time for Christmas and paid for faster shipping but I guess that doesn't help if it never leaves the warehouse right?"
Then she says " Ma'am I'm sorry but i don't think it will get there by christmas. I mean 5-10 business days is more like a guess. Maybe you should tell whoever you're giving it to that it's not going to get there and that you will givie it to them after christmas."
What?! ARE YOU SERIOUS? What kind of answer is that. If you promise 5-10 business days then it's your job as a company to get it done. ( And then she says "Well it's the holidays". Excuse me but I ordered this ON DEC 4th! I mean maybe they should work on more than just Mon-fri. Especially if you have more orders because of the holidays.
And of course i can't cancel the order at this point (of course), the only thing they could do was refund my money for the shipping. Also, this makes me angry because it's not some mom and pop website, this is NFLshop.com, the official store of the NFL.
Annoying and ridiculous.

Annoyed

Annoyed. That's all I have to say about that.

At least the Clash of the Choirs brought a smile to my face.

Me on my wedding day.

My favorite song at the moment.

You only stay with me in the morning
You only hold me when I sleep
I was meant to tread the water
But now I've gotten in too deep

For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might know my heart

You only waited up for hours
Just to spend a little time alone with me
And I can say I've never bought you flowers
I can't work out what they mean

I never thought that I'd love someone
That was someone else's dream

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might call you from my heart

But it might be a second too late
And the words that I could never say
Are gonna come out anyway

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might know my heart

Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart

You Give Me Something by James Morrison

I think my ipod hates me

So today was a little bit of a hectic and crazy day. Well maybe hectic is the wrong word because it wasn't the kids who were streesing me out but the adults. I know this sounds bad but it's really hard to work for someone who doesn't know what they are doing and has significantly less experience. Very frustrating to say the least. I won't go much into this because it only makes me upset and gets me worked up so we will leave this alone for now.
But then to add to this no good very bad day - my ipod. I was listening to my ipod in the car this morning on the way to work and I always put it on shuffle because it makes me feel like my own personal radio station. Imm crazy I know - but there's something really great about listening to a song by thrice and then hannah montana. Makes me feel good. Anyways - here I am listening to my ipod minding my own business, singing along and then BAM. Just the song you didn't want to hear because it reminds of someone whom you'd probably like to forget altogether. SO you hit next. BAM BAM BAM. It was like one after the other. I was angry at first and frankly I wanted to throw my ipod out of my car window. But then I had a though. Maybe my ipod was trying to tell me something. Stop shaking your head. I know it sounds crazy but I think these kinds of little signs are all around us - saying call that person you haven't talked to in awhile or today is gonna be a great day. And it's not always a song - it could be anything. Funny how life works huh? God is always giving us little nudges like that.

bye bye for now.

Happy Halloween!

This one belongs to you

And the words they take their meaning (It's all you said)
and the flame, it loses colour (It's all you said)
Take take take a while, take a while (It's all you said)

Knowing that it's far from over
This one belongs to you

Time shows us that all that ever mattered
all that ever mattered leaves us in the cold
If you ever believe this what you need
it will spin around and shatter
throw you to the floor
as it leaves us in the cold

And the dream you think I'm making
while the house I built is breaking
Take take take a while, take a while (It's all you said)

Knowing that it's far from over
this one belongs to you

Time shows us that all that ever mattered
all that ever mattered leaves us in the cold
If you ever believe this what you need
it will spin around and shatter
throw you to the floor
as it leaves us in the cold

I remember the train you came in on
Everything I want kept calling
I remember the chill that came over
Everything I love went falling

Time shows us that all that ever mattered
all that ever mattered leaves us in the cold
If you ever believe this what you need
it will spin around and shatter
throw you to the floor
as it leaves us in the cold

No R2D2

Today was a really great day for a few reasons.
1. I got to hang out with an old friend who I haven't hung out with in awhile and it went really great. i thought it might be awkward - and sometimes it's just really funny because you talk like no time has passed and start to tell a story about something like the other person was there, until you realize... Snap... they weren't there. But anyways it was really fun. We went shopping, had lunch and just hung out.

2. Leftoever cheesecake from the cheesecake factory. That's all i have to say about that.

3. Trying on Halloween costumes in the stock room of the costume shop since there was a huge line for the dressing rooms.

4. Watching a really good movie called Zodiac. You should rent it. I liked it - Lauren kinda fell asleep but it's ok because she woke up and i filled her in.

5. And this clip -


So overall - it was a spectacular Saturday.
goodnight.
you wanna piece?






Didn't think so. Didn't F-in think so.

I must say this is really funny. I laughed out loud.

Black and White

Life is not always black and white. There are always gray areas. I was watching something tonight and I realized that it's not always clear who is right and who is wrong. Through my eyes I see one thing, but it's possible my vision is tainted simply because they are my eyes. A sort of tunnel vision if you will. I have my own ideas of right and wrong and I think, or I would like to think, that most people share my same moral compass. Deep down I like to think that most people are inherently good. But does that make me weak? Does that make me an easy target? Inevitably, does this quality set me up for heartache? Who is to say. There is too much gray area. And as much as one would like to think that every situation has a right and wrong answer - eventually the truth will shine through and que será, será.



Goodnight.And.Good Luck

Be Careful

All the girls in the Paris night
All the girls in the pale moonlight
All the girls with the shopping bags
All the girls with the washing rags

All the girls on the telephone
All the girls standing all alone
All the girls sitting on the wire
One by one fly into the fire

Be careful how you bend me
Be careful where you send me
Careful how you end me
Be careful with me

All the girls standing by your beds
All the girls standing on their heads
All the girls with the broken arms
All the girls with the deadly charms

All the girls in the restaurant
Pretending to be nonchalant
Funny girls on the TV shows
Close your eyes and they turn to snow

Be careful how you bend me
Be careful where you send me
Careful how you end me
Be careful with me

All the girls working overtime
Telling you everything is fine
All the girls in the beauty shops
Girls' tongues catching the raindrops

All the girls that you'll never see
Forever a mystery
All the girls with their secret ways
All the girls who have gone astray

Be careful how you bend me
Be careful where you send me
Careful how you end me
Be careful with me

Be careful how you bend me
Be careful with me

Lo siento

Love the artist. Love the video. LOVE the song. Love the performance.
Just thought I'd share.



off to bed early.
this girl is sleepy.

October sickness

I am getting the feeling. It always comes around my birthday. The sickness. I can feel it in my nose. I'm feeling extra tired today even though I got plenty of sleep. So these are all signs that it's on its way. UGH. I have been taking my vitamins to avoid this.

Blast.

With a banjo and a Bible and a fine tooth comb

A beautiful song by a wonderful artist. Ray LaMontagne - one of my favorites. Enjoy. (Sorry it's only a clip of the song but I think it's worth a download)



I lost all of my vanity
when I peered into the pool
I lost all of my innocence
When I fell in love with you
I never knew a man could fall so far until I landed here
Where all of my wounds they turn into gold when I kissed your hair
Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you to come on to me
and I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me
Ask her why she cries so loud
She Will not say a word
Eyes like ice and hands that shake
She takes what she deserves
To celebrate her emptiness
In a cold and lonely room
Sweep the floors with your long flowered dress
If you cannot find a broom
Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come on to me
I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me
She's got hair that flows right down
Right down to the backs of her knees
Papa he was a preaching man
And the lord is hard to please
So she comes down from the ozark hills to these very streets to roam
With a banjo and a bible and a fine tooth comb
Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come on to me
and I'll lay down this bottle of wine if you just be kind to me
Now I'd walk one mile on this broken glass
to fall down at your feet
Hannah you're the queen of the street
I climb the tree withy my Hannahlee
My intentions they were pure
Oh the breeze did whip and I lost my grip
I tumbled towards the earth
Where You never would guess who it was that stood below
And his name I will never tell
But His eyes were clear
And His arms were strong
And caught me as I fell
Now come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come on to me
and I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'd just be kind to me
I'd walk just one mile on broken glass
to fall down at your feet
Hannah you're the queen of the street
the queen of the street

goodnight.

Ok I am pretty done with hearing about Britney. Yes we all know she has issues. It's obvious. Maybe if you gave her less publicity it would help.
And to those stupid people out there who decided to focus on the fact that she is "fat" should really just grow up.
A. She's had 2 kids and looks great considering (even without the kids)
B. That is just rude and
C. That is what is wrong with our society today.

Fo sho.

Get help Britney. Prove everybody wrong.
