"Live, Laugh, Love"

This song is by Clay Walker.. and it is what mary my sister lives by on her motto.. and it's true this is what we should do everyday!!!

Artist: Walker Clay
Song: Live, Laugh, Love
Album: Live, Laugh, Love

I'm gonna live, laugh, love just for today
Gonna take all the trouble that tomorrow might bring and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness
'Til they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love

I got a buddy that wakes up worrin' about stocks and bonds
He's up and he's down and he only smiles
When the markets strong
I spend my whole week wages
At the dance on Saturday night
I won't never grow a portfolio
But hey that's alright

I'm gonna live, laugh, love just for today
Gonna take all the trouble that tomorrow might bring and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness
'Til they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love

I got a cabin in the country and the tin roof rattles
When the rain comes down
Where the wind through the pine helps me unwind
While the world goes 'round
I got a woman that fills my heart so full
That it overflows
And how it gets any better than this
Brother I don't know

I'm gonna live, laugh, love just for today
Gonna take all the trouble that tomorrow might bring and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness
'Til they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love

I'm gonna live, laugh, love just for today
Gonna take all the trouble and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness
'Til they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love

I'm gonna live, laugh, love just for today
Gonna take all the trouble that tomorrow might bring and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness
'Til they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love

I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love

"I'll wait for you"

This song is really sad but I do really like it.. even though I've never had to really wait for my husband to be by my side he's there for me when I'm sick but still this song makes me cry every time I hear it..

Artist: Nichols Joe
Song: I'll Wait for You
Album: III

The snow in Montana was three feet high
The lady at the counter said: There ain't no flights
And so he called her on the telephone
He said: I'll rent a car and I'll drive home

And she said: I'll wait for you
Like I did last year
At Christmas time with your family here
And your truck broke down out in San Antone
And the gifts stayed wrapped until you got home
Oh, this ain't nothin' new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

Now he's on his cell phone in a Coupe Deville
Talkin' to the one he loves and always will
His heart is breakin' 'cause she's there alone
Her heart is achin' 'cause she wants him home
She says: I'll wait for you like in '68
When our child was due, but I said, he'll have to wait
Until his dad gets here and stands by my side
Remember, Dear, our son's first cry
Oh, this ain't nothin' new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

He didn't stop all day to eat a bite
And he finally got there around midnight
The doctor said, she's in a better place
She said to give this you this note just in case

And it said, I'll wait for you at Heaven's gate
Oh, I don't care how long it takes
And I'll tell Saint Pete I can't come in
Without my love and my best friend
Oh, this ain't nothin' new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
P.S. I love you, too
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

we have all felt like this a time or two during work weeks!!!

Artist: Twain Shania
Song: Honey, I'm Home
Album: Come On Over

The car won't start--it's Falling apart falling apart
I was late for work and the boss got smart
My pantyline shows--got a run in my hose
My hair went flat--man, I hate that (hate that)

Just when I thought things couldn't get worse
I realized I forgot my purse
With all this stress--I must confess
This could be worse than PMS

This job ain't worth the pay
Can't wait 'til the end of the day
Honey, I'm on my way
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Honey, I'm home and I had a hard day
Pour me a cold one and oh, by the way
Rub my feet, gimme something to eat
Fix me up my favorite treat
Honey, I'm back, my head's killing me
I need to relax and watch TV
Get off the phone--give the dog a bone
Hey! Hey! Honey, I'm home!

I broke a nail opening the mail
I cursed out loud 'cause it hurts like hell
This job's a pain--it's so mundane
It sure don't stimulate my brain

This job ain't worth the pay
Can't wait 'til the end of the day
Hey honey, I'm on my way
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Honey, I'm home and I had a hard day
Pour me a cold one and oh, by the way
Rub my feet, gimme something to eat
Fix me up my favorite treat
Honey, I'm back, my head's killing me
I need to relax and watch TV
Get off the phone--give the dog a bone
Hey! Hey! Honey, I'm home!

Oh, rub my neck will ya

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Honey, I'm home and I had a hard day
Pour me a cold one and oh, by the way
Rub my feet, gimme something to eat
Fix me up my favorite treat
Honey, I'm back, my head's killing me
I need to relax and watch TV
Get off the phone--give the dog a bone
Hey! Hey! Honey, I'm home!

I'm home, ooh that feels much better

"Nah!"

I came across this song this morning.. and it came out about the time that David and I had just divorced and I loved the song it was exactly how I felt.. well I had forgotten all about this song till this morning and so I thought I would post it here..

Artist: Twain Shania
Song: Nah
Album: Up

I thought I might begin by fillin' you in
In case you didn't already know
I'll never forget how you got up and left
In fact it was downright pretty low
There ain't no way I wanna,
You know I ain't gonna
Take you back, so don't even try
You can beg, you can plead--
You can sweat, you can bleed
Too bad I could care if you cry

That's it! (That's all!) We had fun!
(We had a ball!)
It was good while it lasted--
But now I'm past it
(It was sure!) It was sweet!
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then,
But would I do it all again--Nah--

You won't find me
Naked and cold justa sittin' on the doctor's table
Waitin' to be told justa why
I'm no longer able
To feel my heart beatin'--
Give me a good reason why!
I kinda went numb just around
About the time you told me
You were movin' on, and you
Said that you were gonna phone me
It's been so long, and there
Ain't nothin' wrong with the line

It's too late to regret it,
but you're the one who said it
We're better off being apart
I hate to be a downer,
but don't bother comin' 'round here
'Cause I won't have a change of heart

That's it! (That's all!) We had fun!
(We had a ball!)
It was good while it lasted-- but now I'm past it
(It was sure!) It was sweet!
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then,
But would I do it again--Nah--

You won't find me
Naked and cold justa sittin' on the doctor's table
Waitin' to be told justa why
I'm no longer able
To feel my heart beatin'--
Give me a good reason why!
I kinda went numb just around
About the time you told me
You were movin' on, and you
Said that you were gonna phone me
It's been so long, and there
Ain't nothin' wrong with the line

Nah...

Well, I hope you learned a lesson,
'Cause you'll never be messin'
With my head again the way that you did
It was never gonna work; you were too much of a jerk
I'm finally fed up with it

That's it! (That's all!) We had fun!
(We had a ball!)
It was good while it lasted--but now I'm past it
(It was sure!) It was sweet!
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then,
But would I do it all again--Nah--

You won't find me
Naked and cold justa sittin' on the doctor's table
Waitin' to be told justa why
I'm no longer able
To feel my heart beatin'--
Give me a good reason why!
I kinda went numb just around
About the time you told me
You were movin' on, and you
Said that you were gonna phone me
It's been so long, and there
Ain't nothin' wrong with the line

Nah...

"I'm Trying"

My Niece on Robert's side of the family and I talked last night and she had sent me this song and i just love it and thought i'd finally at least post something on here to keep up my blog LOL..

Diamond Rio sings this song along with Chely Wright and it is a song from back in 2001 but i'm just now hearing it.. but anyway here is the song..

Artist: Diamond Rio
Song: I'm Trying
Album: One More Day

She said I'm not pointing fingers
He said yes you are
'Cause you wouldn't bring it up if you weren't
If I told you I'd been walking
Out in the dark night thinking
Would you take as truth this alcoholic's word
I can't change what's done is done
But I can tell you this
Not a day goes by that I
Don't curse myself and all my sins
And I need you to hold on to
While this part of me is dying
And though I haven't kicked the demons
That haunt me
I'm Trying
I'm Trying

She sat down on the floor
And said I wish I was stronger
Right now I feel fragile as glass
I want to believe you
Believe what's held you has freed you
And I hate these doubts
That keep on coming back
My parent's think I'm crazy
For staying here this long
But there's nothing more I want for us
Than to prove to them they're wrong
I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to think you're lying
And though I haven't found the faith
That I need
I'm Trying
I'm Trying

He asked do you want me to leave
'Cause if you do you know I will
But she said much to his disbelief
No I love you still
Oh I love you still

He said I don't know why I've been the fool
But I can tell you this
Not a day goes by that I
Don't curse myself and all my sins
Then he dropped down to his knees
By now they both were crying
He said I haven't been the man I want to be
But I'm Trying
I'm Trying
I'm Trying believe me
I'm Trying

My Valentine

As I'm sitting here right now at work, it's Valentine's Day and I wanted something to say to Robert to show much I love him and the only song I could think of is this one.. It only says half of what I want to say..

"My Valentine"
By: Martina McBride

If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you

If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

And even if the sun refuse to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
You're all I need
My love, my valentine

All of my life I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly

I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
In my dreams I couldnt love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time
You're all I need
My love, my valentine

La da da
Da da da da

And even if the sun refuse to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
Cause all I need Is you, my valentine
You're all I need
My love, my valentine

Happy Valentine Honey...

Being Honest in A Marriage or Relationship

I have been bothered by something the last few days by a "Friend" who hasn't been honest with her husband.. it bugs the hell out of me. I know every couple is different and some have secrets behind closed doors and some skeletons that they don't want anyone to find out.

I'm pretty lucky that Robert and I both have an open relationship and don't keep any secrets from each other.. No matter how much I try to keep something from him.. I always end up telling him everything.. because we both made a promise to never keep anything from each other, and we took our vows "for better or for worse" So if there's something bad that has happened.. that's a part of the "Or For Worse"...

So, why can't people who are married or in a committed relationship be honest with their loved ones?? no matter how bad it is.. if the other person gets mad.. I'm sure they will get over it once they understand why and what happened.. but to keep it a secret and hope they dont' ever find out, I think makes the situation even worse once the other person finds out because it's bound to come out somehow , someway.. It's NEVER worth keeping secrets from those you love..

I remember back in middle school I had a guidance counselor who told me.. "onec you lie..it'll come back on you sooner or later" and I do believe keeping a secret is a lie..

Granted, there is a few secrets that should be kept.. but for little things like, a birthday party that's gonna be a surprise, or gifts that you got for someone, just something like that.. little things

But to keep secrets about more major things like, being depressed and the reason you're depressed because you don't want ur partner to be mad at the reason you're depressed or, some medical condition u dont' want ur partner to know.. things like that SHOULDN'T be kept to yourself!!!!!!

I know i'm rambling on and on but it is really bugging me.. and I just needed to get it out..

and NO I don't think I am perfect or that I have the greatest marriage.. EVERYONE has problems in thier marriage.. but COMMUNICATION is soo important to keep understanding what the other one is going through or feeling..

With that said.. I am gonna close this post..

I'm actually wearing dresses

For most who know me.. I do NOT like wearing dresses unless I absolutely have to like for wedding, Funeral, or a family picture.. But when we went to Catherine's in Dec. I had gotten several new dresses.. and I figured well it's in my closet.. why not wear them AT LEAST once!! so far i've worn 3 of them got 1 more new one I haven't worn.. So I asked Robert to take a couple of pics of me wearing them so I could actually post on the blog so people who wouldnt' believe me wearing a dress can see me in them!!


Anyway, here they are..

This is the dress I wore Last week..
















This is the dress I wore today

















Looking at this picture above, If I had left it tied when the pic. was taken..it would've looked better this is the "relaxed" look lol.. it's actually too big on me.. I distinctly remember it fitting better when I tried it on before we bought it.. oh well.. it still comfy......

And yes, if you have noticed.. I did have my hair cut a little bit last Saturday..

I Give My Heart

Artist: Berry John
Song: I Give My Heart
Album: Faces


Before you call my name
I will be there by your side
When your standing at the rivers edge
I will be the bridge you find
If you said,"Meet me now beyond the stars"
I'd pack my bags and go that far
With the street that only love commands
I give my heart

Keep it with you if you have to go
It will see you safely home
Wrap it 'round you like your favorite coat
When your called out in a storm
If you loose faith in who you are
With the street that only love commands
I give my heart

When all that's left of me
All the words in this song
I know this love will carry on
With the street that only love commands
I give my heart

I'M BACK!!!!!

Hi Everyone!! wow it's been 2 months since I've updated dang time flies by real fast!!! I have created 3 new tickers and you probably have already noticed them when you entered my blog..

1 is for my Birthday, 1 is for my wedding anniversary.. and the other is for my weight loss.. Yes what you see on my ticker is correct.. I have lost 40 pounds!! I can't believe it myself that I've actually lost 40 pounds.. I can kinda feel it in my clothes but then again I still have doubts LOL.. but People at work have said they do notice that I've become a little bit slimmer.. which makes me feel good!! but still got a ways to go to get to my goal!! My mini goal is 200 then the next goal is 150.. IF i look ok at that weight and don't look like i'm still overweight (which I still will be) but with my body frame I'm not sure how I will look.. If I still need to lose more.. I do want to go down to 130 that will be my Ultimate Goal.. But we will just have to wait and see what happens then...

From the time that I've last updated let's see... My Birthday came around and I turned 32 years old!!! I don't feel like i'm 32 I feel like i'm just about 30 years old.. But I turned a year older!!

The day after my birthday, the ladies at work took me out to eat for a "belated" birthday and we went to eat at "5 Guys" they have hamburgers and hotdog.. I really liked eating there then they took me to Starbucks and I got a Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino.. and I REALLY liked it.. and I never like stuff like that I'm strictly a Hot Chocolate person.. but I liked it and then I got back to work and got a call from Robert.. he was in a lot of pain and crying so I left work and came home.. I ended up taking him to the Hospital in Oak Ridge. he was admitted for a few days for a "Infected Diverticulitis" and he was released on a Sunday and he went back to work on the following Tuesday.. He still has his moments with the Diverticulitis but is doing better for the most part..

Then Thanksgiving rolled around and we all got together at Mary's house and we all enjoyed the dinner there.. but that night proved to be a worst thing we could all ever go through especially for my gramps.. He had a stroke.. He was in the hospital for almost a week and has now moved in with my parents..

Mary and I have been trying to help mom and dad out as much as we can in the evening times when we get off work. but we still do enjoy our time with them when we can.

Now fast forward to January 18th!! Now we are getting ready for Valentine's day!! wow didn't we just have Valentine's day last week?? No that was Thanksgiving.. well it feels like it....

Well I'll close this post for now.......

Nov. 12th

Tomorrow the 12th is a friend of mine's Birthday. Patty reed who sometimes comments on my blog once in a while :)

Can't say what her age will be or she'd come all the way down to TN and possibly murder me lol so i'd just leave it alone and say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATTY"

Hope your day is a very special day!! Enjoy it!

Our November Birthday Dinner!

Yesterday we had our November Birthday Dinner for Mary and me!!! This Tuesday the 13th is Mary's Birthday and Wednesday is my birthday.. I'll be the BIG 32!!! I'm getting old!! hehe..

As I was getting ready to go to mom's.. I was trying to decide what clothes I wanted to get dressed in, and before I looked in the closet I stepped on the scale and I was THRILLED cause I'm now entering my 2nd stage of acheiving my goal hehe.. I've now lost a total of 37 pounds so I was like hmmm.. I wonder if this green pair of jeans I have hanging in my closet will fit me now.. I haven't been able to wear this jean in 5 years so I was like "I am gonna try and see if it fits" and YAY!!! It FITS!!! so now I have a new pair of jeans I can wear hehe.. It made me feel good that I now have dropped another pant size but still got a lot more to go.. but getting a pound closer to my goal.. now on to my family dinner

We had our usual family members there minus one :( Robert had to work while we were having our dinner. he gets off work at 3:30 and doesn't get home till 4 pm and we had our dinner at 2.. But I did get to save him some food it was all YUMMY!!!

Mary and I were really hungry for some stuffed cabbage so that's what we had asked for to have at our dinner, we had that with Rice, and corn and for cakes we had 2 different ones cause one for each of us :) there was 1 Italian Cream Cake and 1 German Chocolate Cake, Gotta have that chocolate there LOL

Granny gave me a little "money bank" to put change in and it counts how much is in there digitally and mom had one and I kept playing with mom's adding change in hers so we got one!! I love it and always ask Robert if he has change that I can put in there..

Mary, gave me the best gift I could ever get and I love it!! and I'm gonna post the picture here of it.. She came up with the idea and had Robert help her put it together and they did a wonderful job on it.. and of course I couldn't just let her give me a gift and not me giving her one.. so she'll post a picture of her's when she can get the picture (Robert needs to email it to her LOL)

Now we can focus on thanksgiving!!!!!! YUMMY!!!!

Here's the picture that I got from Mary :D

Little Elmo

Well, I never thought I'd be posting something like this for a LONG time!! We have a new addition to the family, Little Elmo.

Elmo is a 12 week old (as of the 23rd) beagle puppy.. we got him a week ago and he has been a sweetheart!! he has been a nonstop sidekick with Snoopy.. he has not left her side since he has come into our home.

It wasn't a intended thing to bring another puppy into our home. we felt complete with our 3 cats and 3 dogs but circumstances brought him into our home and we couldn't be happier.. ALTHOUGH HE IS OUR LAST!!! we can't handle another animal in our home for a LONG LONG LONG TIME!!!

So here's a picture of Elmo alone and then another picture of Elmo with Snoopy and Puggly sleeping..

In You, I found Me

This song I am not sure who sings it or anything about the singer or the writer, It was on an email song that I heard back in April, When I heard it I loved it and asked my sister in law if she could help me find the song down on paper or something, so she found the song and emailed it to me but didn't tell me who sings it or anything and I wanted to share it with everybody..

IF someone knows who sings this song or the writer will you please let me know so I can post it on here who sings it as they deserve the credit for this song!!



"In You, I found me"

I was lost, lost and all alone,

With an empty heart and soul,

Then you became my home.

My life was filled with every wrong,

An endless night so long,

Then you became my dawn.

Chorus

You opened up the door to your heart, and I walked through,

In you I found the power to be strong,

In you I found a reason to belong,

In you I found how great a love can be,

And in you, I found me.

My world was caught in a raging storm,

My sails were ripped and torn,

Then you became my calm.

Like a bird with broken wings I cried,

Had nowhere left to fly,

Then you became my sky

Chorus

You opened up the door to your heart, and I walked through,

In you I found the power to be strong,

In you I found a reason to belong,

In you I found how great a love can be,

And in you, I found me.

And now I'll never fear the past,

I know how long we'll last,

We are forever.

Chorus

You opened up the door to your heart, and I walked through,

In you I found the power to be strong,

In you I found a reason to belong,

In you I found how great a love can be,

And in you, I found me.

And in you, I found me.
