Day 7, 8 and 9 and Musical Monday

Mondays, mondays, mondays...UGH!!!  That sums it up.  I'll come back to my Musical Monday video here in a little bit.  First I need to catch up on this 30 day challenge!

Day 7 is favorite movies.  Oh my...where to begin!!!  OK...simply because I'm a huge dork, I LOVE the Harry Potter movies.  Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is my favorite (so far).  That's the 5th one.  It was always my favorite book of the series.  I'm counting down the days til Part 1 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out in Nov!!!!  I'm also a huge fan of the Twilight saga...cause I'm a huge fan of the books!  (Jacob is dreamy...)  But I think my favorite movie of all time is a tie...Pretty Woman and Armageddon.  My list of favorites could go on but I won't bore you anymore with that!

Day 8 is a place I've traveled to.  I wish I traveled more but unfortunately, I don't.  But one of my favorite places to go is Gatlinburg, TN.  My friend Sarah and I just went this past summer.  It was a quickly planned trip and we had so much fun (and shopped so much). 



It's just so beautiful there.  I wonder what it looks like now that it's fall.  Maybe I'll go in the fall someday.  Who wants to go????

Day 9 is a picture of my friends.  Hmmmm...what picture do I pick???  Which friends???  Or do I post mulitple pictures?  I can't decide!!!!  I don't want anyone to feel left out!


This is Tera and I.  She really is happy!!!   She hates pictures though.  I had been whining about us taking one and she finally gave in. 



This is Christina and I from this summer...bad pic (of me, not her...she never looks bad) but I still kind of like it!

I can't find the funny pic of Karen and I in our St. Patty's day wear.  Karen, if you can find your copy, send it this way so I can upload that!

And you saw a picture of Shanda and I the other day when I introduced myself.  I have a million other pictures but I won't share them all with you...not tonight anyway!

OK.  Let's move on to Musical Monday (before I just continue to get all caught up). 

Tonight I had a tough choice so I'm going with two.  I'm going to go with the Natasha Bedingfield song first.  Strip Me.  I heard this the other day (and believe me, it's not what you think it is) and I just simple thought AMEN!!!  Simply said...you can't take my voice.  Because of life and things that have happened, I sometimes find it harder to get my voice heard, but it's there.  That won't be taken from me.



Here's the lyrics if you'd like to sing along!

La-la-la-la-la la
lala la la-la la lala
(repeat)

Everyday I fight for all my future somethings
A thousand little wars I have to choose between
I could spend a lifetime earning things I don’t need
That’s like chasing rainbows and coming home empty

And if you strip me, strip it all away
If you strip me, what would you find
If you strip me, strip it all away
I'll be alright

Take what you want steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out but I’ll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you aint taking that from me (oh ooh)
You aint taking that from me (oh oh)
You aint taking that from me (oh oh)
You aint taking that from me (oh oh)
You aint taking that !

I don't need a microphone yeah
To say what I've been thinking
My heart is like a loudspeaker
Thats always on eleven

And if you strip me, strip it all away
If you strip me, what would you find
If you strip me, strip it all away
I’m still the same

Take what you want steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out but I’ll just scream
Im only one voice in a million
But you aint taking that from me (oh ooh)
You aint taking that from me (oh oh)
You aint taking that from me (oh oh)
You aint taking that from me (oh oh)
You aint taking that !

Bridge
Cause when it all boils down at the end of the day
It's what you do and say that makes you who you are
Makes you think about, think about it doesn’t it
Sometimes all it takes is one voice

Take what you want steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out but I’ll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you aint taking that from me (oh ooh)
You aint taking that from me (oh oh)
You aint taking that from me (oh oh)
You aint taking that from me (oh oh)
You aint taking that !
(repeat)



This next song is a happier one.  Thank You.  Without saying names and making this all to mushy, this is a simple thank you to those who help me through the rough days and smile with me on the good ones!  You know who you are.  I know I don't say it enough but THANK YOU!!!



And here's the lyrics to this one:

Words, Words, Words

How come there's so many, but i can't find any?
Words, words
How can I possibly say it perfectly all that you mean to me?
I don't wanna let another day passes by without a chance to say
Thank you! thank you!
And I don't think you have a clue
For every day you pull me through
For all of the thing that you do
Thank you! Thank you!
Love, Love, Love,
I don't always show it, but I hope you know it
Love, Love
Cause when I wish for you
And everything you do
Cause of all that you do to me (yeah hey yeah)
I don't wanna let another day passes by without a chance to say

Thank you! thank you!
And I don't think you have a clue
For every day you pull me through
For all of the thing that you do
Thank you! Thank you!
I don't wanna let another day passes by without a chance to say
Thank you! thank you!
And I don't think you have a clue
For every day you pull me through
For all of the thing that you do
Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you!
Love, Love, Love,
I don't always show it, but I hope you know it...

New Year, New Me

New year, new me. Who says that? Ok, a lot of people so no offense if you’re one of them.  But I like me. Sure, I’m not perfect. But I don’t want to really change all of me.  So no silly quote like that for me! It is hard to believe that 2019 is here. The older I get, the quicker time flies by.  I do remember being told that when I was a teenager.  Those people were so right.  It feels like yesterday that I was sitting in my quiet house while Johanna was off with friends celebrating the start of 2018.  But that was a year ago.  Today, I’m still sitting in my quiet house but that’s because Karyna is just waking up for the day.   A few years ago, I used to work on videos that would highlight my year.  I loved doing them but they took time.  And that’s time that I don’t have as much of these days.  It’s hard to go through a year of pictures and videos.  Do you know how many pictures I take a year?  My goodness!...

Lots of Names

Well, this is my fourth Friday in my apartment!!! It really does feel like home for the most part!!! Tera helped me...wait...I take that back. Tera MOVED my swing and table from mom and dad's a few weeks ago and so that is now on my deck! I love it!! Although, I have to admit that I haven't been home too much to enjoy it but at least I know it's there. Hopefully I'll get the chance to relax on my swing this weekend. I set my smoke alarm off the other night! That was funny! I was cooking a chicken patty and some fries in the oven. All of a sudden I hear this loud beeping! Of course once I realized it was the smoke alarm, I ran into the kitchen. Everything was good in there! Food was cooking just fine! Apparently it just got too hot in here for the smoke alarm. The funny part though is me standing on the chair trying to figure out why the alarm won't quit chirping every 45 seconds...even after I took out the battery! So after a text to the landlords (who laughed), I r...
