Talladega Nights Thrice...

I am not sure how it happened but I am sitting on my computer while Talladega nights is playing for the third time in a twenty four hour period.??? I have been staying with old friends and it seems like it is just the movie to rent! I am PRETTY sure I will have NO desire to watch this movie EVER again...but then again I had that feeling after the FIRST viewing! I was sitting with my friend watching some old videos that her dad's wife has put on DVD, and cruising down memory lane tonight. It is funny how with good old friends there is that ability to pick up where you left off (even when the last time you spoke was almost a year ago) I think it is all the memories shared. Nothing connects two people like memories forged over a childhood. I talked with another friend when I was traveling that I haven't talked to in a few months, and it was that same connection. It is weird how that time and distance can fade and it seems like it was just yesterday that you were hanging out and having fun.

My vacation is coming to an end...

I can't believe that time has gone so fast! I said goodbye to family this morning, and I am taking the friendic(kind of like scenic, cept the sights are friends?!) way back home to Utah. Tonight I am visiting a friend who has a little 9mo old girl who is absolutely adorable. I don't know if it the infamous biological clock ticking, but sometimes when I see a really cute baby I get this pang of emptiness and longing for one of my own. As I watched my friends husband playing with his little girl I realized that I kinda want one of those too (a husband to play with my babies!)
Ah still waiting for the appropriate time...

If your life was a movie what would the soundtrack be...

I posted this on my myspace, and it was just so sweet I thought I ought to double post it...

So, here's how it works: 1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc) 2. Put it on shuffle 3. Press play 4. For every question, type the song that's playing 5. When you go to a new question, press the next button Don't lie and try to pretend your cool... Opening Credits: Try(Just a little bit harder) Janis Joplin "Well, I’m gonna try yeah, just a little bit harder So I won’t lose, lose, lose him to nobody else." I think I would be compelled to watch this film?! Waking Up: Black Horse and the Cherry Tree KT Tungstall 'well my heart knows me better than i know myself so i'm gonna let it do all the talking." I totally tell myself this every morning I wake up...? First Day At School: Am I the only one (who's ever felt this way) the dixie chicks "I'm smothered by this emptiness Lord, I wish I was made of stone" ... Uh sad, and tragic! Falling In love: (Am I right?) erasure... I know random, erasure?! "wandering through the back roads And the rain comes rushing down To resolve your love For this man in his twenties Am i right? Am i wrong? Or am i just dreaming?" I think this is pretty true to life... Fight Song:rainy day ,guster "I'm not scared I will build a wall Sensing trouble from a mile away I will build a wall Saw it comin from a mile away I'm not scared" ...Ok I am getting kind of weirded out how well all these songs fit!! Breaking Up:Who will save your soul, jewel "Who will save your soul after all the lies that you told, boy" Of course it would be ALL "his" fault! Birth of a child:Mother, Tori Amos ... I SWEAR I didn't cheat!!! Final Battle:When you see the light, Pete Yorn "If you could start over again When you asked for this...And once you've seen the light You will remember Where you could go When you would go Away" Death Scene: Rialto, Laura Veirs "Now they're standing on the beach In a wild colored wind Sunrays stream Ah the pretty boys gleam Watching distant buoys toss Water rolling on the rocks Smoothing down the broken things I could still go there But my mind would be too loud Sun on water Bright colors drowning me out…" I think this means I am going to drown at sea??? Funeral Song: Angel with an attitude, ditty bops ...Again I didn't cheat! End Credit:The saddest song, the ataris "Remember waiting there to find nothing at all I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Waiting there to find nothing at all maybe someday you really get to know me" This also screams tragedy...

Got to love the fam...

Sometimes when I am thinking about it my family is pretty amusing... For example it is after 2AM and my mother is in the other room emailing on the family computer to my brother. I am a firm believer that no matter how perfect a family appears they have their quirks and dysfunctions just like the next. Not that I would claim my family as appearing perfect, cause I don't think we do... but I think some of our conversations and actions would suprise many?! My family has this game that we play often with rook cards called nert, and it is not at all uncommon for us to play till 1 or 2 in the morning. I was thinking the other day about what my future spouse would have to be in order to mesh well with the fam, and it kind of made me smile. In our family we have a PRIME example of a spouse that does not, and I DO NOT want one of those! I guess I have come to the realization about how important it is for me to have a spouse that can get along well with my family, and that will enjoy spending time with my family (quirks and all.) Well I guess first things first... got to have prospects before jumping to the discriminating factors!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...

It was a good day, and fun to have little ones to see their excitement. I almost made it ALL DAY before I got a call from work too?!

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house...

The vacation begins... or does it?

I thought that when I left work today that I would feel a sense of relief to be going on vacation, but I just had this feeling that I was forgeting something. It is pretty pathetic that I haven't taken vacation time since July! We will see how much of a vacation that it really is... I already had a parent calling my cell to see if they can keep their child longer than we agreed upon!!! (Man was I an IDIOT for including my cell number on my email signature at first!) I just don't understand why parents expect me to return their calls at 7:30 and 8:30 at night on a weekend?! When I went out to my car and checked my messages and got the message from the parent I was just instantly irritated, and thought "and it begins"...

Surprise, it's no surprise at all
just a matter of time till you took the next fall
despite the resolve that you've felt time to time
like a cancer "it" weakened and faltered your mind
pretentious displays were a front which to hide
the hurt little child that is found deep inside
pushed away all reminders till it left you alone
momentary reprieve in mixed sounds, beats, and tones
the loneliness settles in the midst of the crowd
superficial acquaintances were the only ones found
still a longing remains for something that's real
turning back to the predictable pain just to feel

capturing the ice queen

Ok so a tad cheesy... Sometimes I just get these ideas in my head?! I wish I had more time to play with my camera with more interesting subjects than myself... but what can you do when it seems all you do is work, eat, sleep, repeat?!

Oh my...

BEST ROCK & GOTH INFANT CLOTHING

Obscura Clothing

Throw that Baby Gap gear to the wall. Your child just isn’t living life to its fullest without an “Anarchy in the Pre-K” jumper dress, replete with skull button. Or treat your toddler to a Blondie-logoed “onesie” instead. The Goth-conscious infant will revel in his or her spider-web or skull-and-crossbones T-shirt. They’ll also thank you when they’re older, you know.

It was a cowboy Christmas...

I had my work Christmas party tonight, and it was "cowboy christmas" themed. I will be the first to admit that I was weary, and the only thing that reasured me to go was an agreement I made with some other "singles" that I work with, cause there is NOTHING worse than to go to a work "couple" function alone! When I got there I was fully prepared for a night of cheesy activities (equipt with a straw hat, bandana, and name tag that everyone received as they walked through the door of course!) The first twenty minutes were a little rough as people were trickling in, but then I got into the activities (and their associated prizes!) I made out pretty well tonight with over a hundred dollars in cash and gift certificates:) I won the money game during dinner which was a lot of fun, and from that I got $33! I feel like I made out like a bandit...
