Ahhhhh... MUCH better!
This blog was kinda boring this morning. And boring blogs KIND of depress me a little. I've been blogging now for going on 12 years. TWELVE YEARS people. Back when it was still relatively easy to do your own code for your blog. Also, I was in high school... and slightly socially awkward, so I had puh-LEN-ty of free time on my hands in which to write my own code. Nowadays, not so much time. So, thanks to those sweethearts over at The Cutest Blog on the Block I have a template that works for me. It's lemon-y, it's sunshiney, with the right amount of gray to really make the yellows pop... it's a happy template. And if you don't like it, that's okay. :-) It's my blog anyway. ;-)
Ever get random songs stuck in your head? I DO!

Music always helps matters...
I'm kinda ridiculously music nerdy. I've got nice monitor style headphones, I have at least two iPods with me most of the time, I listen to music all day. It's what I do. With all the crazy things I'm going through, it's been really interesting to see what songs surface throughout my day. I'm going to link you to a couple of them today.
This morning, I woke up singing "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor.
"Fire and Rain" has always been a favorite of mine. I grew up in a musical family, even my Dad (who SAYS he's not musical) always had some Willie Nelson in his truck. And he'd hum songs, and sing specific lines of songs in context with conversations we were having. :-) Mom though, Mom was all about 70's singer-songwriters. I love Carole King, James Taylor, John Denver, Cat Stevens... love them all. It's no surprise to me that "Fire and Rain" which really does sum up about what I'm feeling popped into my head this morning.
Won't you look down on me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way
On a less profound note, Hot Chelle Rae's "Tonight, Tonight" has been pretty helpful too. Nice, clean, fun, bubbly... and exactly how I feel.
La, la, la, whatever
La, la, la, doesn't matter
La, la, la, oh well
La la la
I'm also really loving happy, positive, upbeat music. I've been using this one as my alarm each morning. "Rhythm of Love" Plain White T's
When the moon is low
We can dance in slow motion
And all your tears will subside
All your tears will dry
And of course, to finish up this little list, my go-to song when things aren't going the way I'd hoped. In the words of Mick Jagger, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you might find you get what you need..."
