Soundtrack of My Life

No One is to Blame by Howard Jones is one song that would have to be on my personal soundtrack.



When it comes to relationships, for one reason or another, this is my theme song. The lyrics are completely poetic. Love them. Whenever you hear it think of me.

Here they are:
You can look at the menu but you just cant eat
You can feel the cushions but you cant have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool but you cant have a swim
You can feel the punishment but you cant commit the sin
And you want her and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
You can build a mansion but you just cant live in it
You're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win
Some break the rules
And live to count the cost
The insecurity is the thing that wont get lost
And you want her and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
You can see the summit but you cant reach it
Its the last piece of the puzzle but you just cant make it fit
Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain
And you want her and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
No one ever is to one ever is to blame

Darius Rucker... love him

I love that Darius Rucker is singing country music. I loved him in Hootie and the Blowfish.


I'm pretty sure he wrote this song for me and all me exes sing it and think of me.


HA!

Paranoia

At work on Thursday, a coworker and I were talking about being paranoid about sounds in your home. Whenever I hear a suspicious sound in my home and I go to search out the culprit of the noise, I tell myself, "This is when she gets killed in the horror movies."

Well, then it happened. Last night I was watching TV and I heard a noise outside. It sounded like something gently (or not so gently) hit the house. Maybe a ball or something. It wasn't completely dark yet but definitely dusk. It took me a minute to get the courage up to go look outside. I cautiously turned on the outside light just in case Jason was on my porch. No Jason. Then I bravely unlocked the door and peeked outside. Nothing out of sorts there. I'll just check that my new Halloween ghost decorations are still where I left them. One step out of the door. Check them out. Yep their still there. Hmm. I didn't look any further and went back to watching tv.


When I came out this morning, this is what I saw...





Someone had hit the light post! That's looking back at my house. I am so observant! How did I miss that?

Mystery solved.

USPS Reliability Test

Check out these mad phone camera skills.

Okay HLA members, here is what I mailed! Taking all bets. Will it get to T.Shay in California?

For those of you that have no clue what I'm talking about, read this post to catch up.

The Caramel Machiato

This is the most beautiful cup of coffee I have ever seen. And it's delicious to boot!

I'm Just Asking

This is at a table I dined at for lunch yesterday.

Does anyone else see anything wrong with this picture?

Or maybe I'm just crazy.

Lauren's Wedding and More

The boys were ring bearers at their second cousins, Lauren, wedding. They were so stinking cute. The above photo was taken on my cell phone camera so not great quality. They were waiting for the rest of the wedding party to come and join them at this point. This was their first time to wear a tie and Lauren's cousin, Jonathan did a great job of getting them tied for us. Thanks Jonathan.

The boys had a great time at the reception. They guarded the cake. At one point my sister had to ask them to get out from underneath the table. ayh! That would have been just one more funny story about her wedding. Well, I hope she can look back and think that the kinks in her wedding were funny. :) I won't recap. And Lauren, it was a beautiful wedding.

September was busy over all. With school starting, soccer starting, the wedding and family visitors. My office also moved locations (it's right next door to where I was at so it's not any closer) and just let me say this is the most spectacular office building I have ever worked! And I'm very lucky. I did tap the wall behind my parking spot on the second day of business but there was no damage to the building, my care or even my pride.

And, BOOM! October is here. We don't have too much planned for October. I don't think. We're in count down mode for Drew's birthday on Halloween. He wants to go to Six Flags.

Speaking of birthdays. I am working on putting together two new blogs. The first, is about birthdays and will start on October 5th. I'm pretty sure I'm calling it "You Say It's Your Birthday" Maybe. Unless I come up with something better. Hmmm.... any suggestions in the next 3 days? The second is about road rage and how to relieve it. It's going to be a snarky blog about the drivers that get me riled up, what I do to relieve the anger and other stories about driving and parking. Not sure on what to call that one either.

And as always, you can always catch me commenting at http://www.highlowaha.com/ where the blog mascot, Ray, can be found. I'm having a great time drawing him. He's going to be busy with the holidays coming up.
