Lyrics of the day

This artist (pictured above) is awesome. My mom and I saw her live at the Women and music concert. She plays the cello sideways like a guitar and she ROCKS.

So Lindsay Mac is my featured artist of the day.

I encourage you to find her music online somehow because you should enjoy (every amazon person rated her at 5 stars)

My current fave song by her is called

DRIFTING


As I walked down the street with you, I don’t turn to my side
I keep my eyes on my destination and pretend that I am fine
Cause you’re like your own small planet
With your own gravitational pull

And I’ve convinced myself I don’t need to breathe your atmosphere
I am full
I am full
I am full

It seems so simple really
every route of reason leads me away
But I’ve always charted the course less traveled
and I’ve never docked in the bay
So as my tiny ship bobs quietly
I can see the outline of your coast

Now I realize my captain has failed me
And I’ve drifted much too close
Too close
Too close

I’ve drifted
I’ve drifted
ohh
I’ve drifted
I’ve drifted
Ohh
I’ve drifted
I’ve drifted
Much to close
…
To you

Days off

They're sometimes the only thing that keeps me going. I relish in them, take them all in and try and do a healthy mix of work and whimsy.

The best part of my weekend was my mother came to town to visit. We had delightful fun shopping together (doing damage at President's Day Sales) and then indulging in margaritas. We also went to a concert "women and their music" which of course rocked because women and music are both good.

We capped off the evening with chocolate fondue and wayy to much wine. Sometimes you just need to indulge your whimsy.

Tyler and I also discovered the HOM furniture store in Fargo. It may sound sad to you but it was a fun little outing for us. The HOM store sits on the I-94 interstate and it looks HUGE- like a warehouse. The inside is really fun with tons of beautiful furniture (we can fantasize that we could buy it) but we had fun because they have funky vases for $15 (down from 90) and a beautiful matted, framed painting for $8 -- so that was exciting. I may go back today after work and pretend I have money again.

I'm sort of obsessed with home decorating. Since we're in an apartment and can't paint the walls, I try and have lots of color in accessories but it's not the same. I guess I'm a nerd but I just love furniture stores and the way they set up little rooms etc. I was in Bismarck recently and had way too much fun in a downtown art gallery and blew a ton on some prints and funky art. I just love it. Happy birthday me.

Let's see-- what else is boring in my life that I can share? I cracked and finally upped my netflix deal. I figure 2 movies a month isn't going to work if I have 60+ movies on my queue. If any of you guys have netflix out there you should add me to see how compatible we are... lord I'm lame :)

Ugh, well it's sort of depressing talking about days off now it's Monday again... boo. It's really hard to get motivated to go into work when there's no official desk for me to work at-- and no internet connection. I need internet for my job so I end up staying home and doing a lot of stuff-- which ends up leading to facebook and blogging and sitting in my bathrobe and drinking a beer with lunch.

Whoopsie.

Holy Crap

I'm on CNN!!! Seriously.

Damn that facebook.

It's a story about a guy who wrote an article in a college newspaper called "Rape Only Hurts if You Fight It." I took serious objection to statements he made like this one:


He said it especially benefited ugly girls. BOO.

So here's me on CNN -- crazy huh?

my OLD fave commercial

Wasted Time

I spent the majority of my day dwelling on something stupid.

I won't go into major detail but I started a new job and today a manager verbally bitch slapped me up and down the block. This resulted in me crying and feeling worthless.

I was also very confused because the verbal "slappage" came virtually out of nowhere, and over issues I had no control over.

It's just hard to be told "you are the worst employee I've ever dealt with" and "you may really want to consider finding other work" and not take it personally.

Especially when my post-college dream job turned me down and already smooshed my confidence.

I'm just a greenhorn college grad trying to make it, damn it!

Well thankfully an old friend saved me. She had previous relations with this manager and informed me via facebook (the beloved facebook) that this manager was a super psycho that pulls this crap on everyone.

Why didn't I think of that? I KNOW I'm a good person, a hard-worker, easy to work with and dependable. Why did I let someone with a superiority complex bring my down?

Man-- I hate bullies! <:(

Power to the people! I will not be made to feel worthless.

Song for the mood: Ludacris-- "GET BACK"

Why you all in my ear?!
Talking a whole bunch of shit
That I ain't trying to hear!
Get back, You don't know me like that!

So true

It's over ten minutes long but you will laugh...

My new fave commercial

carrrrrrneeeeeeeeee.

Fast fun with You-Tube

Okay. I don't know if I want to see this movie but everytime it gets to the talking T-rex, I laugh really hard! Also the caffine patch lady. I relate to her.

This also brightens my days

AMEN!!!!!!!
