East Coast Style

Sadness. My mom has decided to leave Connecticut. I mean, I wasn't for sure going to move there, but I liked the possibility. It can still be a possibility, right? Such a cute state with such cute towns. She's considering moving to Houston, yuck! That's not cute at all. I'm bummed. I guess I'll have to embrace Dallas a little longer. I've sort of created my own little world in my apartment, so I guess that's fine, for now. Just you wait, I will figure out where I'm supposed to be sooner or later. I'm pretty sure it will be somewhere on the East Coast. What can I say? I miss my shows starting at 8 p.m. and not 7. I miss my trader joe's. I miss my snowy winters. I miss my Bertucci's. Some day. Some day. It's not over New England. We will meet again. I'm down, but I'm not out.

HOTT-hot

So...what happened to Spring? 100 degree <--boooooo. Anyway, courtesy of my sister I have been introduced to Aqualung. Sooo great. This is my Ben Jelen of this year. So excited. Definitely download this (and the entire cd for that matter) from iTunes or whatever downloading system if you get the chance. I LOVE it!

Brighter Than Sunshine

I never understood before
I never knew what love was for
My heart was broke, my head was sore
What a feeling

Tied up in ancient history
I didnt believe in destiny
I look up you're standing next to me
What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
Brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, i don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
and it's brighter than sunshine

I never saw it happening
I'd given up and given in
I just couldn't take the hurt again
What a feeling

I didn't have the strength to fight
suddenly you seemed so right
Me and you
What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine

It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun, sun, shine.

Love will remain a mystery
But give me your hand and you will see
Your heart is keeping time with me

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine

I got a feeling in my soul ...

Forever Young

Second star to the right and straight on til morning...

“All the leaves are brown…and the sky is grey. California dreaming on such a winter‘s day”

“We’ve got more bounce in California than all yall combined”

“Welcome to the Hotel California. Such a lovely place. Such a lovely face”

“We wish they all could be California girls”

“California here we come right back where we started from”

It’s that time of year!!! No more reading about Disneyland trips…I’m going. That’s right, this weekend, me in LA hitting up Disneyland and California Adventure with my sister! Take that 4th graders. I’m so excited you can’t even imagine. That place never gets old. Seriously, I could live there...well, in Disney World in Orlando, actually. You think I'm joking, but I'm really not. I hope it doesn't rain on my Disney parade (wink wink)...anyway, no blue thinking because I'm going to be in So Cal. Maybe I'll get tan by default...probably not. I was leaving the gym today and this cute guy walked up to me (of course I'm sweating and disgusting) and he basically tried to sell me a tanning membership. Story of my life. He's like, "Have you ever tanned before." I was like..."come on, what do you think?!" Oooh so defensive. I know, I know. Anyway, I'm packing my digicam and I will make myself take pictures. lots and lots. :)

One more line from my 4th grade essays that I read recently: "we were staying in Threasure Island. One of the suitest hotels in Las Vegas." <--kid after my heart.

The Day the Music Died

So...when did coffee stop working? I feel like I'm drinking sugar water. Except with sugar water you would at least get that initial jolt before you crashed. I was so dead tired all day today. Maybe I should switch to espresso or a double shot of something...Really, besides for the flavor and pure joy of having coffee, I think one of the main reasons I drink it is to ward off the potential headache. What is this?! It effects me enough to give a headache if I don't drink it, but I no longer get that caffeine boost I need? Apparently I've built up a tollerance...and an addiction. We, my college roommate and I, once made coffee with espresso, because we were too dense to realize what it was. We were just like, man this needs a lot of creamer. So we drank it, and we both noticed that we would get the shakes in class. We couldn't concentrate on anything. We called it crazy coffee. I think I could use some of that right about now.

Spring forward

Right...so, this morning I woke up an hour late, because my phone didn't switch time automatically in time...anyway, it since has switched. But, after lounging around for hours...I decided to get control of my life. I need to clean out the cob webs, not only in my house, but also in my life. So, because music is sort of a huge part of my life, I went on ITunes and downloaded some tunes for my Summer Love mix. Cheesy, yes. But, I've decided to come to terms with the fact that I am, and always will be, a total cliche. I just want to be one of those good cliches. I need to get it together. I think the breaking point was when I was standing on the elevator with a brown sweatshirt, black shoes, and a black purse. Not only did I not match, I also was struggling to balance a cup of coffee, my breakfast, my mismatched purse, and a bottle of water. When you start to not match, you catch yourself wearing Baylor paraphernalia almost every day and you're hair is a constant mess...something's wrong. So, I've made a deadline for myself. I need to completely straighten crap out before my birthday which, in case you didn't know, is June 7th. I probably will be spending that weekend in San Diego with my mom and sister (love it). But, I'd like to have fun in Dallas as well...so I need to not be a pathetic mess by then. So, check-off list to getting it together includes:

Really clean my apartment so that I don't have to apologize for my mess every time somebody comes over
Apply for real jobs, not just starbucks and barnes and noble
Meet some of my neighbors, besides the limo driver across the hall (though he could be a good contact to have...)
Get out of the apartment enough for my freckles to come out. Don't really like freckles, but I do need to see the sun sometimes (and not through the window at work or at the gym). Also, I think my whiteness frightens people...I'm like an albino Hispanic
Clean out my car
Figure out if I'm going to stay in Dallas after my lease runs out
Find an entourage ;)
Stop snoozing

Ok, well, that pretty much sums it up for now. And, on that note, I'm off to the gym, then more cleaning while watching Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives...Countdown to birthday: 66 days. If you have any additional check-off points, feel free to post them
