Wake Up! Songs in my head - week of 3/15
This week proved itself to be very random…..
Monday = Please Don’t Stop the Music ~Rhianna
Tuesday = Sitting on the Dock of the Bay ~Otis Redding
Wednesday = Live Like We’re Dying ~Kris Allen
Thursday = Welcome Christmas ~Whoville Singers (umm, hello?? where did that come from??)
Friday = Rich Girl ~Billy Joel
Saturday = Don’t Bite Your Friends ~Yo Gabba Gabba...
Akward moment...
I was on the phone with a guy that I went on a date with last weekend. We are discussing his job and an opportunity for a promotion. So as we are chatting he makes the comment “I am just not sure about all the travel. It will really affect my social life and now that we are dating, I am not sure I am ok with that.” Me = Mini panic attack!!! Excuse me? Can you repeat that?? We...
Songs in my head - 3/8 week in review:
To clarify - A few people have asked if I wake up to a radio alarm or go to sleep to music. The answer is no and no. I wake up to a screaming, beeping alarm and I don’t fall asleep to music. If I do hear a song before I hit the sack - it is not the one I wake up to in my head. The songs in my head, that I wake up to, are completely random. :)
Ok, now that I have clarified….here...

Today's Message from God....
So fitting.
On this day, God wants you to know…… that the weight you carry on your shoulders is much too heavy for one human being. Give some of that weight where it belongs, - to God, and have faith that what happens is for the best, whether you understand it or not.
Dear D,
I don’t understand how you can make my heart soar and then within 72 hours break it. Again. My heart has ached for months over something that wasn’t but at the same time, was. When I saw your number pop up. My heart skipped a beat. My palms got sweaty. I knew you were back. Even though you were never really gone. I smiled. I laughed. I cried. I breathed. You were there...

Jim Cantore
I have had a crush on him forever. Even as a much younger girl. He is the official weatherman for the olympics and even though I couldn’t care less about the weather there, I watch it so I can drool over him. I mean look at him…
I hate Tuesday’s that feel like Monday’s….
The day started off just peachy. I called this morning for a waaaaaay over due hair cut and scored a lunchtime appointment! Go me!! Yeah, not so much. From there on, the day went down hill.
Realized on the way to my hair appointment I had completely forgotten I had a remote (live radio broadcast for all you non-radio people, haha)...
Haha
It amazes me how stupid I can be…
I am impatiently waiting to pick Addie up. I have 2 1/2 more hours. I do not feel like doing anymore cleaning - had enough of that yesterday. But my ability to sit still has gone out of the window. What do I do?? Bake. I decide to make some brownies. I have everything out and ready to go but something seems to be wrong with my mixer. I put the...
Addie is with her dad this weekend and I am feeling a little guilty that I am actually enjoying the silence in my house. I miss that little booger when she is gone. Oh so very much. I am just not used to my time being all mine. I am still getting used to it and the fact that I actually enjoy it makes me feel guilty….
I love the grocery store. Sounds crazy, I know. But I can spend hours going up and down each isle. I find it kind of peaceful (unless it is the day before a potential snowsleetice storm). The “Muzak” floating through the speakers. The part of me that longs to be organized, loves that everything has its place. The fruit cups never move. The chicken breasts are always in the same...

"Message from God"....
I get one of these every day on Facebook. They make me smile……
On this day God wants you to know - IT IS OK!!!
“Just rest for a moment. It’s OK. Yes, things are crazy, yes, the world is going nuts. Yet, deep underneath the stormy waves, there, in the core of your being, there is pure silence, pure love. And … it’s … just … OK.”
Dear Old Man Winter,
I adore you. I really do. But I am really ready for you to cut a girl some slack and stop with the snowsleetice stuff. I like being at work on time and running errands and other fun things on the weekend. Really, I do! If you must come for a visit, could you make it a Tuesday?? I would be more open and welcoming if I knew I could miss an entire day or three or four of...
So….I saw a post on Facebook today that I just had to check out…..
Go to the urban dictionary, type your name in the “look up” field, hit enter and viola. You get the definition of YOU! I was actually blown away by how accurate mine is.

Dear Randomguyonthecornerholdingthegoldforsalesign,
Crack kills. But thank you for always making me smile. Your Michael Jacksonesque dance moves are stellar. Keep dancing buddy. Keep dancing.

Wanna know something that drives me absolutely crazy?? You don’t?? Oh well, I am gonna tell you anyway! ;)
Going about my day and thinking of something great that I want to blog about. An inspirational nugget. A funny thought. A random happening. Whatever. I get home, take off my professional woman hat and throw on my mom hat and do my thang. Then, I get my time. I fire up the...
My life is a song....
I wake up every morning with a song in my head. It can be a foreshadowing to the day ahead. Some days it puts a smile on my face and I feel like I can conquer the world. Some days it is a secret prayer that brings me such peace. Then there are the days where it makes me think about things that are no longer but can quickly come alive with the simple words just floating around. Other days it...

I am beyond blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. So many lined up today to help me stay positive while I spent the entire day without my precious angel.
You see, she was with her dad. It was the longest period of time that he has had her by himself since she was born. While I am glad that he is actually makng an attempt to be a dad, I still don’t trust him and I worry...
The Eve of the Eve of Christmas Eve....
I have figured out why I have a case of the Bah Humbugs. I really hate it too because Christmas is my favorite. Of all time. But I can’t get into it. I haven’t had fun shopping, baking, decorating (even though it does look pretty), I haven’t wrapped the first present. I am pretty much faking the excitement for the sake of my sweet baby girl. She is SOOOO excited and that...

LET IT SNOW!!!
Sing with me……Ooooooohh the weather outside is frightful beautiful and the fire Yankee Candle is smells soooo delight-ful. And since we’ve no place to goooo. Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!!
The first snow has arrived in the Piedmont Triad of NC. And guess what?!?! My little corner of the Triad is in the middle of a very heavy band of the storm! YAY!!! It is a...
This has been a shitty week. Plain and simple. No sugar coating. No pretending. I have cried every day this week. And then last night, life once again threw me one of those heartbreaking curve balls. I am sick of them. Call me selfish but I really want something good to happen to me and to happen for more than just a minute……
I am: Pissed off. Hurt. Sad. Fed up.

Pray, always.
Today I was reminded, once again, that God is listening. He is listening and He will answer. All you have to do is talk to Him. Be honest. Be open to hear the answer. Believe that He will answer. Accept the answer when you get it. (remember - sometimes the answer is not exactly what you were wanting to hear….you have to trust that it is right though).
It is amazing. Absolutely...
I am learning to appreciate the small gestures. Those things that most people wouldn’t even pay attention to. To hear what someone is actually saying instead of being so focused on getting them to say something, the way I want them to say it. There is a beauty in this realization. A comfort that makes me smile. I may not be going about this the way the rest of the world does. It may...
Have you ever wanted something so very badly that it makes you physically ache?? Ever wanted to tell someone something so badly but did not out of fear? Have you ever? Oh, I have. I do.

I am my own worst enemy. Everything can be going along just fine and then BAM! There I am. Opening my impatient mouth.
Self-sabotage?? Maybe. Fear of rejection?? Probably. Selfish?? Could be. Stupid?? Absolutely.
I get on my own nerves. But love his heart….he is like the Energizer bunny. He just keeps putting up with me and putting up with me. Not sure how many more dumbass...

oh boy.....update
Ok. So here is the update……….
Boy #2 did not respond to the text message. Nothing. Even though I think he could have at least manned up and said something, it gave me all the answer I needed. Boy #2 is out.
On to Boy #1.
The day after I wrote my post, Boy #1 said something that made my heart smile. I am keeping it safe with me for now but trust me, it was sweet. Oh...
