Loving You Tonight by: Andrew Allen

Lost, In the day, In a way
Its the same as the one before this
and i wish, I could say
that its all black and white
But its gray, Its the same, its the same
And i'm so tired but you are what im comin home to

Oh im thinkin' 'bout a red wine, buzz and takin' it easy
and i got you in my arms, Takin' a break from crazy

And I'll say hey,
You'll say baby, Hows your day
I'll say crazy,
But its all gonna be alright,
You'll kiss my smile,
I'll pull you closer,
Spend awhile just gettin' to know ya,
But its all gonna be alright,
Loving you tonight,
Ohh Ohh Yeaaah,
Loving you tonight,
Ohhh Ohh, Yeaahh

And you are there
In my heart, at the start
of my my every morning
and i can't deny, by the end of the day
that I'm runnin' on empty
But you make it full, Steal my breath
You're so unpredictable,
That's what I'm comin home to

Oh I'm dreamin' 'bout a romance , slow dancin' with you
When i got you in my arms, Then i don't care what we do

Cuz I'll say hey
You'll say baby, How's your day
I'll say crazy
But its all gonna be alright
You'll kiss my smile
I'll pull you closer
Spend awhile just gettin' to know ya
But its all gonna be alright,
Loving you tonight
Ohh, Ohh, yeaaah.
Loving you tonight
Ohhh, Ohh, Yeaaah

Cause' everyday is just the in between
the hours separating you from me
i know you'll be waiting,
I know you'll be waiting

And I'll say hey
You'll say baby, Hows your day
I'll say crazy
But its all gonna be alright
You'll kiss my smile
I'll pull you closer
Spend awhile just gettin' to know ya
But its all gonna be alright,
Loving you tonight,
Ohhh, Ohh, yeaaahh
Loving you tonight,
Ohhh, Ohhhh, yeaaah
Loving you tonight,
Ohh, ohhh, yeaaahh
Loving you tonight,
Loving you tonight.

The Grand Canyon, a sunset, and a squirrel

My friend (the same one who had the jacked up u-joints) recently got back from a trip to the Grand Canyon. I am extremely happy that this friend took their camera with them and got some ridiculously awesome pictures!! (Because now I get to share them with you!) I've only got two at this time, but will get more as time permits:)

 The first one is of the sunset:
Is that not awesome?????!!!! :)

The next one is particular meaningful to me since it was taken with me in mind;) As I have mentioned before, I tend to be a tad bit random/sporadic (I don't know if that's spelled right..) at times. I come out with random peices of information that are neither relevant nor crucial to the current situation, but for some reason I feel the urgent desire to share with whomever I may be conversing with. These are called "squirrel moments". (for some reason I have the feeling that I've mentioned this before.) Due to the fact that I have A LOT of squirrel moments, this person was so kind as to take this picture in honor of yours truly;) (or so they said.)

HERE IT IS!


 This absaloutly made my day!!

U-Joints and Drive-Shafts

  One of my friends has been having some trouble with a loud (and annoying) squeaking sound coming from their vehicle. After consulting with multible people it was decided that one of the u-joints was the problem.  So this afternoon I spent six hours helping them change the u-joints on their vehicle  ... I am now an expert on changing u-joints. (I say "helping", I was mostly supervising.. but I helped when I could:) ) Now, this could have been a thirty minute to an hour deal, but when things don't go exactly perfect they can take A LOT longer. Understatement. Once we got three-fourths of the way through it, we discovered that one of the parts required to finish was defective; so we loaded up in the mini-van (since their vehicle was currently un-usable) and headed to the local auto store to switch out the product. After we got back to the house we proceeded to finish the project; luckily this time things went smoothly and we were able to put the drive-shaft back into the vehicle. Thank Heaven the squeaking is now gone and so far things seem to be working like they should:) My friend is now happy and so am I:)
        This is a u-joint:

SHOUT OUT!

Shout Out to Botterfly Girl!!! Love You!!!!!

Disney Couples

    Lady and the Tramp:) Here is another classic couple that I adore! I love Lady's sweet, gentle personality in contrast to Tramp's carefree rambunctious ways. The fact that they're such opposites is what makes them such an endearing couple:)

A little too much confidence...

    Remember that skirt that I told y'all I made? Well, little miss me got confident so I decided to try making a dress. It actually turned out quite well, so again my confidence was boosted a little; so i decided I wanted to try to make a quilt. Now, you would think that a quilt (if you use a simple pattern) is just straight lines so it shouldn't be that hard.. technically it wasn't that hard, but it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped it would. Some of the lines are crooked (most), and it is gathered in a couple places (that wasn't supposed to happen).You see, I have a habit of sleeping in the living room floor; and i do this on a regular basis. I have my two pillows from my bed and a red down blanket that I get every night and I sleep in the living room floor until I get up to go to bed. That is what the quilt is for... so whether or not it looks perfect it still works as a blanket:)

Disney Couples

Here is another Disney couple that you can't help, but love:) Aladdin and Jasmine! As far as people characters go, theses two are my faves (but you still can't beet Simba and Nala). I love Aladdin because he seems to know how to get himself out of almost any situation; he puts on a tough guy act, but loses the whole fecade when he falls for Jasmine:)  I love Jasmine because she's spunky and even though everyone is pushing her in a different direction, she chooses what she knows is best for her:)


"A Whole New World!"




Analogies

 I do not know if y'all have noticed this yet, but I have discovered that I really like analogies. It's how I think, how I learn, and how I sort things out. (Notice my previous post). Like when I'm sitting in Chemistry class, any time that my teacher gives us any sort of process or something like that, I have to come up with an analogy to help it make sense in my head. Yes..... it's an odd thing, but it's one of my quirky traits that makes me.. well, me:)

A Stronger Link



     Sometimes when you have a chain there is a weak link. As time goes by if too much stress is put on that specific link then it may snap; and when that link snaps the whole chain falls to the ground. It lays there in a heap... something that appears to be broken and useless. But the person who sees the true potential of what that chain can be used for takes the time to untangle the mess and when he finds the broken link and realizes what caused it to snap, he takes the time and puts in the effort to create a link that is stronger than the other link could have ever been. ...if the old link hadn't snapped, you would never have known that it could have become stronger than it was before. Now the chain is stronger and ready to take on whatever task life may have in store for it...

Disney Couples

   I have decided that Simba and Nala are my favorite Disney couple of all time. I mean seriously, they've been friends since they were little, seperated, then reunited finding that they are truly the loves of eachother's lives... how much more perfect can you get?? :)

"Awwww....."

SKIRT:)

So last Friday when I went to my grandmother's house my mother and grandmother were making clothes for our goose. I will go ahead and explain that it is not a real goose, it is a concrete lawn goose that was given to us by our neighbors. Since of course you cannot have a naked goose in your yard, my mother makes clothes for it. But that is beside the point. The point is that they were going through a bunch of fabric remnants looking for something to make the goose a new dress out of. I pulled out a peice of material that I thought was pretty and showed it to my mom, "Wouldn't this make a pretty skirt?" I said (hint hint). My mother and grandmother both agreed with me and I ended up taking the fabric home to make me a skirt. Now bear in mind I do not sew. I have absaloutly nothing personal against sewing, I just never have been very good at it; so the fact that I took on the project is kinda a big deal. So Sunday afternoon I picked out a pattern at the store and borught it home to begin my project. My mother showed me how to cut it out and helped me decipher the instructions. But then we had a problem... our sewing machine was broken. How do you sew a skirt when your sewing machine is broken you ask? You borrow somebody elses, that is how. Luckily I knew someone who owned a sewing machine that they weren't using at the time and they graciously allowed me to use it. So I worked on my skirt Sunday night and Monday morning and voila! a skirt had formed! I am quite proud of my skirt and have been wearing it all day (it's quite comfortable). I have now been inspired to try making more of these skirts and if I am able to get good at these then I will try moving on to something a little harder. A dress maybe??
  I'll put up a picture of my lovely creation in a short while:)

 By the way, I would like to thank the person who let me borrow there sowing machine:) THANK YOU!:)

Poll

It may seem that I post a bunch of posts in a really short amount of time, and you are probably wondering: "Umm, why doesn't she just post all of this at once?". See, going back to the "random minded person" thing, I just randomly come up with stuff and go, "Hey! I'm gonna put that on my blog!" and so I do, and then like 45 min later I think of something else. So that is why I do not post all my stuff together.

 I have been taking a poll for about a year and a half and would like whoever reads this to let me know what their opinion is. What tastes better, Dr Pepper or Sprite? I will not yet reveal my opinion on this... yet, but if y'all could comment and let me know how YOU feel on the situation it would make my day:) (I apologize to anyone who does not drink carbonated beverages. If you don't drink carbonated beverages, then just let me know what kind of drink you think is best:) )

FWOGGI!!!!!!!

My sister and I went to my grandmother's house today and spent most of the afternoon outside taking a bunch of pictures. In the process, we made a new friend. This is him:


We named him Fwoggi:) Ain't he cute;) (and by the way, even though it looks like it, there is not a snake in the picture, it is a piece of water hose.) 

PICTURES!

I'm super excited! I figured out how to post pictures on here! (not that it was all that hard, i just never had tried before) ... hmmm.... now I got to find more pictures to post...;)

Ok, so it has been recently discovered that our dog (Sandy) does not like storms. Now here's the deal, he's almost 11 years old and has been an outdoor dog his entire life, up until this winter that was. It just got too cold outside for him to be out so he became and indoor dog. He's quite well behaved indoors to have been outside his entire life, that is until there is a storm. He completley FREAKS out! Panting, pacing, whining, running around the house.... and it just keeps going.... we've tried giving him a small dose of benadryl but it didn't really seem to help.... I really wish that he would take lessons from my dog. She doesn't really care about the storm as long as she's got a warm place to snuggle down. Her name is Heidi and is a dachshund/chihuahua mix, we call her a dachihuahua, chiwachshund, or a chiweenie. She is super prescious and loves attention (and sleep):)
 This is a picture of the little darlings:)

I am SO blessed!

    I have been blessed with the most amazing friends in the world. I am so thankful that God has given me people that I can turn to in times of trouble. He's given me a shoulder to cry on, and a person who will tell me like it is, and someone to lend a listening ear. I love y'all SO much!

'I Can't Sleep' by: Clay Walker

(Verse 1)
I've been up all night long
Just waiting on the sun
I've given up on the dawn
It aint never gonna come
Something's wrong
As long as you're gone

(Chorus)
I'm not gonna sleep till i touch your face
Baby not a wink, i could go for days
If you ever needed to see me down on my knees
Take a look at me
Baby i cant sleep

(Verse 2)
Remember when you said we wouldn't last
I couldn't swallow my pride ohhhh
It's sinking in
Baby losing you has finally opened my eyes
I'm wide awake
As long as it takes

(Chorus x3)

I'm not gonna sleep till i touch your face
Baby not a wink
I cant sleep

Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust God from the bottom of your heart, don't try to figure everything out on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do; everywhere you go He's the one that will keep you on track."
