a slight weekend follow-up

I just don't think you can tell me that that sweet little face doesn't make you smile. I am so greatful for his little face. it always brightens my day. . .

. . .& speaking of days. . .today was nothing out of the ordinary, much like every other day in the past two weeks. I get up & go to work, which is slow & defeats its purpose of keeping me busy so my mind doesn't have time to stop & focus on anything for an extended period of time. . .

my weekend consisted of lots of sleep on Friday night. . unfortunate, since i missed out on the new Bond movie but good for the rest of my weekend. Saturday was Coopers birthday so we hung out all day with her mom. which was interesting because here, caitlin & i thought we had known eachother for 20 years, but come to find out, we started going to school together at the age of 1! but moving on. . then we went to dinner & went out with the gang that night. That was. . well. . sporadic & dramatic, thank goodness none of it revolved around yours truly.

Sunday ruffles, the coopers dog, & scruffy had a play date! that was fun. only scruffy was not being the best guest. at first she was way more into sniffing around then she was into playing. but sooner or later they buddied up. We also took time to listen to coop's birthday present (The new taylor swift cd. . .check it out at http://taylorswift.com/).

i would just like to take a moment to comment on this girls lyrical abilities. my goodness. she's 18 & can explain to you, in a song, exactly how you feel about a situation, mainly in her case boys, but there is a song on there that applies to another part of my life these days. for example, three of my faves are, white horse, tell me why & you're not sorry & here are lyrical samples of each:

white horse
Say you're sorry That face of an angel Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time Cause I honestly believed in you
Holding on The days drag on Stupid girl, I should have known, I should have known

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you And your white horse, to come around

tell me why
I took a chance, I took a shot
And you might think i'm bulletproof, but i'm not
You took a swing, I took it hard
And down here from the ground I see who you are

you're not sorry
All this time I was wasting, Hoping you would come around
I've been giving out chances every time And all you do is let me down
And it's taking me this long Baby but I figured you out
And you're thinking we'll be fine again,

But not this time around You don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore

caitlin brought up a good point, at 18 how do you know all this? we're 23 & we don't even have it figured out like that. so props to taylor swift.

well. . . it's about past my bed time, since as my sister says, i'm taking the first steps towards being "old". . .(going to bed early & rising early). . .i think it's just boredom, but i suppose i should humor her from time to time :0) <3
