Everywhere I Go... Damn! There I Am: August 2006

2Peas music challenge

What song/CD makes you:

DANCE: OMG, there are sooo many -- the one that pop into my mind right now is Guns N Roses: Paradise City. Makes me want to jump up and do my Axl Rose/Davy Jones dance. Love it!

HAPPY: Roll to Me -- that really short song that came out the mid 90's ("look around your world pretty baby is it achin' with some nameless need?")

SAD: Ghost -- Indigo Girls, my 18th birthday, secrets revealed, *sigh*

REMEMBER/REMINISCE: Breakfast at Tiffany's, not the "soundtrack" -- that song, again, from the mid 90's: "And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany's, she said I think I remember the film and, as I recall I think we both kinda liked it, and I said well that's the one thing we got." It just screams high school for me. My friend Nick and I sat in the car one day returning to rehearsal from our afterschool break and sang it at the top of our lungs. Man, I loved that guy!!!

SING OUT LOUD: every song I know, but especially Joining a Fan Club by an obscurely known band called Jellyfish. They were hot in the late 90s, but now defunct.

Damn! I'm a 90's girl, aren't I?

Inner Peace... the search continues

"What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what lies within us. And when we bring what is within out into the world, miracles happen." -- Henry David Thoreau

How can something so small...

be so scary?

My dog is afraid of this little thing:

I don't get it. I really don't. I understand that he has claws, but she outweighs him seven times!!! He walks by, she jumps on the couch. He is at the bottom of the stairs, she won't walk down them. He's on the left side of me, she walks to my right. No amount of cajoling will get her to relax when he's around. They have almost 2 weeks together. They'd better work it out!

mmmmm.... chocolate

M&M's has finally released DARK CHOCOLATE!!!

It is a happy day in our household!

(Not bad for a camera phone and a little photoshop, huh?)

And... a big shout out to my S-I-L, Melissa...

Happy Birthday!

The Me Challenge: My Theme Song

My first challenge for Mandy's and my Circle Journal was about a song that touches you, defines you. Then, I checked out the Me Blog today, and this is the challenge! Love it!

Here is my take... my theme song:

The Wood Song by Indigo Girls

Reason 1743 why I LOVE my husband

So, last night we were laying in bed watching "One Week to Save Your Marriage" on TLC. Just winding down and falling asleep, really. Zach was cracking up at the husband on the show -- his childishness, the way he yelled at his wife about listening -- it really was quite funny. Somehow, our conversation rolled around to this:

"So, babe, do you think we need to go on and save our marriage?" I asked, laughing.
"If we have to do something like that, make sure it's that show with Chip Foose!" was his reply.

I laughed soooo hard! We don't need marriage help, but to think that if we did, he would want to get help on Overhaulin' with Chip Foose!

I love this man!

One more rockin' picture

Thanks to JustJudy for this picture. I just love it! I'm not one to love pictures of myself, but I think that this is one that captures the essence of moi... I'm a BIG dork! And... Judy rules!

Feeling Wacky on Wednesday!
