Wait for Me

"Wait for Me"- Theory of a Dead Man

You are not alone tonight
Imagine me there by your side
It's so hard to be here so far away from you
I'm counting the days till
I'm finally done
I'm counting them down, yeah, one by one
It feels like forever till I return to you
But it helps me on those lonely nights
It's that one thing that keeps me alive

[Chorus:]
Knowing that you wait for me
Ever so patiently

No one else knows the feeling inside
We hang up the phone without saying goodnight
Because it's the sound of your voice that brings me home
It's never been easy to say
But it's easier when I've gone away

[Chorus:]
Knowing that you wait for me
Ever so patiently
Yeah, you're everything I've ever dreamed of having and
It's everything I need from you just knowing that you wait for me

[Bridge:]
What I'd give
What I'd do
Knowing I'm not there for you
Makes it so hard to leave
What I'd give
What I'd do
Anything to get me home to you
And this time I'll stay

And you wait for me
Ever so patiently
Yeah, you're everything I've ever dreamed of having and
It's everything I need from you just knowing that you wait for me

Have you ever been tempted to eat hair?

I know that I haven't, but apparently Alice, one of our cats decided she rather enjoys eating and playing with my hair. The best part was, she was sitting next to me on the couch while I played on my computer until I put on Colbie Caillat music videos.
I guess Colbie's music drives Alice to attack people's heads without warning. I wish I had had a video camera on me because from what I could see in the reflection of the television, it was pretty funy.

Thankful Thursday

So something else that I picked up from reading people's blogs. I thought it might be a good way to remind myself what I'm thankful for, give anyone who reads this insight into me, and get me to post a little more often than a few times every 2 months. lol.

So here goes nothing...

1. I'm thankful for my family, they have been there for 22 years and they keep me grounded. Sometimes they may get on my nerves, but I love them none-the-less.

2. I'm thankful for my boyfriend. He has shown me a lot in such a short period of time, and with out him I would be stuck in the rut I was in, not exploring all the possibilities that the world (well at least the U.S. for now) has to offer.

3. A roof over my head, a car that runs, and food in my belly. Obviously with out those 3 things, life would be somewhere between very difficult and un liveable. I know I'm lucky to have things that, especially right now, some people would give anything to have.

4. Gretchen. That cat is my life and I don't know what I would do with out her sometimes.

5. Lucas. I may have only had him a short time, but I'm very thankful for the time I did get to spend with him. He was my buddy everyday for nearly three years and because of him we have Brooklin to remember him by,

(Since it's late, I'm going to stop there so I have more next Thursday)

Wishful Wednesday

'I wish' .... I was six years old and going trick or treating, and my costume would be _____!

Catwoman.

I always wanted to be catwoman as a little kid, but they never had catwoman costumes for kids my age. Now that costumes are better it could be possible!

Spooks, Goblins, and Spirits

Halloween, my FAVORITE holiday, is coming this weekend.
I am beyond excited since that last few haven't been too great.
First, I'm going up to Rocklin to watch and photograph my baby sister's last softball games of the season.
Then, I'm heading up to Shingle Springs to hang out with Matt, possibly go Trick-or-Treating with him, Heather & Mayson.
Once it starts to get late, we're heading over to Slingshots in Cameron Park for a Halloween party! It's my first adult Halloween party so I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm going to be a sexy police officer ad my honey is going to be a sheriff. It's going to be a ton of fun.

Only time will tell...

I keep forgetting I have this thing, life seems to get so crazy at times.

I'm so thankful that Sarah's last softball games for the winter are this weekend. It means freeing up my Tuesdays and Thursdays a bit more. And my Saturdays completely.

Not to mention my at-least-once-a-week trips up to Shingle Springs to see Matt, and I usually spend at least a day and a half up there. He's completely worth it though.

I've been working seasonal at the Spirit Halloween store in Elk Grove which seems to have taken up most of the free time I would have had. It's not bad, but I can't say I'll be sad when it's over.

I'm beyond excited about findind a full time job. I have some stuff I have to pay off an then I'll hopefully be moving up to Cameron Park area to be closer to Matt so we can see each other more and really test our relationship. Make sure we don't kill each other. lol.
If all works out, we'll be moving... somewhere. Possibly Alaska if he gets in with the State Troopers. Talk of Utah being a possibility has gone down too. Maybe New York... Only time will tell.

To Matt...

You are such an amazing person. Four short months ago I was ready to give up on the dating world and just focus on getting through school and into my career. No one ever clicked right with me. Then, there was you. It's still hard for me to believe that you are real. We get along like bread and butter, we share so much in common. Those things that we don't have in common we so easily accept and learn from.
It's completely rediculous how I feel about you. I always figured I'd be a California girl, settling along the coast somewhere... whether it be down by San Diego, or up in the Bay Area. But since meeting you, the world is my oyster.
I'm actually looking forward to Alaska, where before you, I would have visited it on a cruise or small vacation, but would have never considered moving there. Cold, rain, and snow were never my thing, but I'm not only willing to brave it, but am looking forward to it because of you.
Going to Shingle Spring is always fun, leaving is always sad, and knowing that your thinking about me never ceases to make me smile.
You have opened my eyes, my heart, and my stomach and I thank you.


Fallin' For You (by Colbie Caillat)

I don't know but
I think I maybe
Fallin' for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
Keep this to myself
Waiting 'til I
Know you better

I am trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
And now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

As I'm standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It's just you and me

I'm trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
And now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

Oh I just can't take it
My heart is racing
The emotions keep spinning out

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
And now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think I'm fallin' for you [x2]

I'm fallin' for you

Ooohhh
Oh no no
Oooooohhh
Oh I'm fallin' for you

Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful for having a job, even a part time, seasonal one. It's going to give me money to pay off part of what I owe my grandpa's account from school, gas, and other things after I didn't have a job for a while.
I'm thankful for having such an awesome mommy that takes care of my when I need it and watched out for me since I'll always be her little girl.
With out my mommy, I'd be in a big hunk of trouble!

Wishful Wednesday

Ok, I'm going to try this thing out to see if participating in regular Wednesday & Thursday postings can get me to keep on track. Wish me luck!

'I wish' .... I could be ________!
(Name that TV star!! Post a picture and tell us why)

Abby Sciuto (From NCIS)

First, who wouldn't want to be Abby? lol. Next to the girls from Friends she has got to be one on my favorite TV show characters to date. She's spunky, sweet, friendly, has a total dark side, and if someone messs with her, she can totally kick butt (like when she got kidnapped and she beat the crap out of her kidnapper. So awesome!)

When I grow up, I wanna be like Abby. lol
