No reason for this one, just one I love:

Kokomo by the Beach Boys

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
Bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go
Jamaica

Off the florida keys
Theres a place called kokomo
Thats where you wanna go to get away from it all

Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
Well be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
Thats where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

To martinique, that monserrat mystique

Well put out to sea
And well perfect our chemistry
By and by well defy a little bit of gravity

Afternoon delight
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
Thats where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

Port au prince I wanna catch a glimpse

Everybody knows
A little place like kokomo
Now if you wanna go
And get away from it all
Go down to kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
Thats where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo

Mindy, of Kiss My Code, did the current theme (check it out), and man, oh man, I adore it. It totally suits me, and since I’m seriously considering just smooshing TM2TS and TWOOD into one site (just making it easier on myself, but keeping the domain for when the wedding gets closer, XD), this works out perfectly!!

But, come on, admit it!! It’s gorgeous, ain’t it?

Oh, don’t forget about the contest going on!! So far, sawcat’s in the lead with 2. Anyone wanna knock her out of the running? XD

Last post for today, I swear, XD

Music has a strong grasp on my soul. There are songs on my playlist that are guaranteed to make me cry:
Alyssa Lies – Jason Michael Carroll
Skin – Rascal Flatts

There are songs guaranteed to transport me back in time:
Basket Case – Green Day … it’s the first day of 6th grade, and VJ’s singing it as annoyingly as possible
Hero – Enrique Iglesias … we’re (Josh and I) standing in the parking lot of Grace’s apartment, and Josh is dancing with me, whispering the lyrics in my ear
In The End / Crawling – Linkin Park … I’m in the car, hearing about 2 towers getting slammed with planes (I heard one in the shower, and the other on the way to class)

There are songs that make me wish my wedding was tomorrow:
One Boy, One Girl – Collin Raye

The songs that make me wanna just bust out and dance always make Josh crack up:
Glamorous – Fergie
Call Me When You’re Sober – Evanescence

Some just make me think of my wonderful aunt, whom I don’t get to see enough:
Keep The Candle Burning – Point of Grace
Red Letters – dcTalk

Some just make me giggle with glee:
Miracles Happen – Myra … I love the Princess Diaries
I Dare You to Move – Switchfoot … A Walk to Remember is my “I need a good cry movie”
Cry – Mandy Moore … even the video makes me cry, but makes me appreciate my love

So, what songs touch your heart? Which ones are guaranteed to make you smile?

Now, a little game:
I’m gonna randomize 10 songs (already happens anyway), and post a line, and then you guess!! The one who gets the most correct gets a free month at Sigs ‘n More.

Please don’t cheat. I mean I can’t stop you, but that wouldn’t be fair, though, would it?

1. Oh, no, no, no, no, no…
   When you feel it in your body
   You found somebody who makes you change your ways
   U Got It Bad – Usher
   –Megan
2. I’m gonna clean the house
   I’m gonna fix the fence
   In my final hours
   I’m gonna tie up these loose ends
3. I’ve heard all the stories
   I’ve seen all the signs
   Witnessed all the glory. Yeah
   Tasted all that’s fine
   Nothing Compares – Third Day
   –Kellie
4. We both lie silently still
   In the dead of the night
   Although we both lie close together
   We feel miles apart inside
   Every Rose Has It’s Thorn – Poison
   Sky
5. I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
   You get your fill to eat
   But always keep that hunger
   May you never take one single breath for granted
   Martina McBride / Ms. Womack (I can’t spell, XD) – I Hope You Dance
   –sawcat
6. I keep trying to find a life
   On my own, apart from you
   I am the king of excuses
   Ive got one for every selfish thing I do
   In The Light – dcTalk
   –Megan
7. I like the feel of your name on my lips
   And I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss
   The way that your fingers run through my hair
   And how your scent lingers even when you’re not there
   I Love The Way You Love Me – JMM or Boyzone
   –Sky
8. Dum de de dum, de de dum, de de dum, de de da da.
   Dum de de dum, de de dum, de de dum, de da da, la la la.
   Well, I walk into the room passin’ out hundred dollar bills.
   An’ it kills and it thrills like the horns on my Silverado grille.
   Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy
   –sawcat
9. There are days when I feel
   The best of me is ready to begin.
   Then therere days when I feel
   Im letting go and soaring on the wind.
   On My Knees – Jaci Velasquez
   Sky
10. I wake up in the morning
    And I raise my weary head
    I got an old coat for a pillow
    And the earth was last nights bed
    Blaze of Glory – Bon Jovi
    –sawcat

If You’re Going Through Hell by Rodney Atkins

Well you know those times
When you feel like there’s a sign there on your back
Says I don’t mind if ya kick me
Seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse
You’d think they can’t get worse than that
And then they do

You step off the straight and narrow
And you don’t know where you are
Use the needle of your compass
To sew up your broken heart
Ask directions from a genie
In a bottle of Jim Beam
And she lies to you
That’s when you learn the truth

If you’re going through hell
Keep on going, don’t slow down
If you’re scared, don’t show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you’re there

Well I been deep down in that darkness
I been down to my last match
Felt a hundred different demons
Breathing fire down my back
And I knew that if I stumbled
I’d fall right into the trap that they were laying, yeah

But the good news
Is there’s angels everywhere out on the street
Holding out a hand to pull you back up on your feet
The one’s that you’ve been dragginig for so long
You’re on your knees
You maight as well be praying
Guess what I’m saying

If your going through hell
Keep on going, don’t slow down
If you’re scared don’t show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you’re there

Yeah, If you’re going through hell
Keep on moving, face that fire
Walk right through it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows your there

If you’re going through hell
Keep on going, don’t slow down
If your scared don’t show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows your there

Yeah, If your going through hell
Keep on moving, face that fire
Walk right through it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you’re there
Yeah, you might get out
Before the devil even knows your there.

–Early, but oh well, XD

Now :  If You\'re Going Through Hell - Rodney Atkins

*snort*
I just figured out how I broke folks not being able to comment (if you tried and couldn’t, try again, m’loves).

All working … just keep Sarah away from everything right now, .

My god, I feel the need to just write and write today. It’s really cathartic though, so I’m doing something good for myself.

First off: I spoke too soon. Yeah, never brag about your kids. It just jinx’s everything. :censored: I just have to keep saying to myself, over and over, “I love my kids, I love my kids, I love my kids” :grr:

Now on to a happier subject. I love doing things for friends. I love helping them out, whenever I can. I hate to see a friend suffering. I hate to hear the pain in their hearts as they talk to me. Friends are the family you choose. You can’t choose your biological family. Trust me, I would have made a few changes if I could have, :doh:. But, I get to choose those that I call my friends, the ones whom I call my sisters/brothers by heart, not blood.

Family means everything to me. You fuck with my family, you fuck with me. I’ve got a few who can testify to how “mama bear” I get when it comes to family. Hell, Mom can testify to the fact that I was about ready to kill my sister’s boss when we were there, and how much I despise Daniel’s ex because she hurt him. Yeah, that one was a mutual street, but I take my brother’s side on that one.

Anyways, remember that friends are family to me, as well. I love y’all like sisters (and bros, for the males, XD). You’ll always have a special place in my heart, forever.

*hugs and love*

Song of the Day – June 28, 2007

-Cry by Mandy Moore, from the A Walk to Remember soundtrack

I’ll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended too soon
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed

In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

The moment that I saw you cry

It was late in september
And I’ve seen you before (and you were)
You were always the cold one
But i was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring at a dark gray sky
I was changed

In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

I wanted to hold you
i wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything, all right….

I’ll always remember…
It was late afternoon…
In places no one would find…

In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

I’m not usually a gusher, but I can’t help it right now.

Ethan and Madi are usually fighting. Well, I woke up stressed, and they were just amazing. I freaked out on Josh, thinking someone had hacked into my account (XD), and figured out it was my fault. Josh has been apologized to, and the kidlets are happy since I offered cookies (I baked a few last night, XD). Now they’re watching Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends or whatever, .

Kids, I’m noticing, can tell when you’re upset, and seem to adjust their attitude accordingly.

Speaking of kids, Josh came up with an idea for getting Madi to potty.
One M&M’s for sitting on the potty
Two M&M’s for peeing on the potty
Five M&M’s for pooping on the potty

-Reminds me that I need to pay Madi an M&M, :balloons:

We’ll see how well it works out.

Josh is currently “napping” in his truck in Kansas City. He got there a bit early. Today’s his driving lessons for the LLV (the mail trucks). Today’s also his last day of training, so hopefully he hears back from his Post Master’s secretary on when he’s supposed to start. His PM is on vacation this week :up:.

Never do a redirect through htaccess, XD, when you’re exhausted. I happened to break my blog in doing so, XD

In other news, there are no other news, XD. I’m working on a few things for the girls in my sigclub, but that’s about it

I’m mentally exhausted today, and I’m just not feeling up to the world, at all.
