christmas playlist

here's what i've got playing on repeat these days...

 

 also i like to watch/listen to this too... 

 

google music

have you heard about this?

it's super cool. let me just tell you that you can literally upload your music to google music and access it anywhere, anytime. i'm loving that no matter where i am i can get my music and it frees up a lot of space on my iphone, which is at max capacity at the moment. aaaaaaand, on top of that google gives you free music. anytime they have free songs available they'll put it in your music player (at set up you can choose what type of music to get, or choose all like i did and maybe you'll learn about new music!). this is a great idea and i'm so glad i've got it! it is by invite only, so go to google and sign up for an invite today. like, right now!

somewhere with you

i think this is a sexy breakup song.

celeb crush: mumford & sons

i might be a little late on the m&s band wagon but i'm loving them now. my fav is awake my soul. check it out...

all you need is love.

i am also very much in love with these commercials...

it helps that i have a strong passion for all things beatles, know the words to every song and already own the cds!

fall music

rolling stone magazine has put out a preview of hot new music coming out this fall.

from taylor swift to bruno mars and elton john to young jeezy, there's bound to be something out there for everyone.

i'm personally excited for the remastered john lennon and new kings of leon albums.

go here for the entire story!

mine

love her. love this song. love this video.

hello again!

sorry i've been m.i.a lately.

as it turns out july has been a crazy month thus far and is only expected to get busier.

so here's what i'm currently thinking about.

fav things right about now:

she & him has been on repeat in the car, on the ipod and pretty much any place else i can listen. love them!

i'm pretty much going to buy everything from here from now on.

love that she's in jail. don't really know why but it makes me happy that she's doing her time.

i might be obsessed with the palin clan. i can't help but be intrigued with bristol and levi getting engaged and sarah not being ok with it. so taboo now a days to marry your baby's daddy!

have you seen covert affairs on usa yet? it's my new fav show for summer. love it and the cia {a little!}.

other things i'm currently loving:

buying a sewing machine this weekend.

i get to see my momma in less than two weeks.

louisville bats baseball game.

visiting with grandpa doug and glenda.

august is coming! which means mom's birthday, killian's birthday, lake weekend with trav, highway 127 yard sale, olivia starts preschool, and sarah's bachelorette party. just to name a few things!

things i'm currently hating:

the rain, rain, rain.

immaturity.

not getting more than five hours of sleep every night.

my love of mexican food {it's really not helping with the ww}.

things that don't work or break on you.

poopy diapers.

i'll leave you on a positive note...

sisterly love is the best!

backyard or water park?

don't you just wish this was your backyard?

well it isn't.

it's celine dion's though, so if you happen to be friends with her, let me know!

i could spend all day in that lazy river.

the house that built me

i miss home sometimes.

but i have my own home know, i guess. it's kinda nice.

{i'm loving this song right now!}

this reminds me of you

Come And Save Me

{gloriana}

The sky keeps on changing colors
In the rain
Nothing ever seems
To stay the same
But I found you to my
Surprise
I found all I needed
In your eyes
Everyone keeps leaving
But you stayed
When I held you tonight
And let my heart go free

Hold me close
Now until forever
I'll be unafraid
Hold me close
Give me back
My reason to believe
Come and save me

Love
Nothing ever takes the place
Of love
Breaks through all the madness
Like a flood
You washed away my fears
And let my heart go free

Hold me close
Now until forever
I'll be unafraid
Hold me close
Give me back
My reason to believe
Come and save me

Hold me close
Now until forever
I'll be unafraid
Hold me close
Give me back
My reason to believe
Come and save me
Come and save me

I found you tonight

at last

so for those of you who don't know i have been singing little jingles to mom for the month of november counting down the days until we get to see her. this is the last one that i sang to her when we got in the car yesterday...it's pretty awesome.

{goes to the tune of at last by etta james}

at last

i have arrived home.

my loneliness is over

and life is with my momma.

six days

to spend in dallas.

my time will be spent at mi cocina

northpark and my momma's house.

i waited so long to make this trip.

now it's here and i'm so happy.

i know there'll be good times

like sleeping with brinkley and the turkey trot

the holidays, the holidays are my fav

and i'll hate to see them go

but i'm in heaven

at last.

p.s. she loved it! :)

across the universe

i'm pretty much obsessed with the beatles. {thanks kev}

is it bad that i've watched across the universe 4 times this week alone?

i really don't even watch it at this point, i just love having it on in the background. listening to the songs and enjoying every word.

i think the beatles have helped a little bit with me being in love with love. :) {see earlier post}

my fav song from the movie is:

"all you need is love"

i think this song is one of the greatest love songs of all time.

{and it's good for all kinds of love! :)}

i love texas!!!

there are so many things i love about texas...

DUH!

but one of my most favoritest things texas is "the best little whorehouse in texas".

it is quite possibly the best movie of all time...well that might be stretching it a little.

but i love it.

and a lot has to do with texas but also because i heart dolly parton, a lot.

she's amazing and her boobies are gigantic in this film, wow and her hair is so big {and white}!

i know all the words to every song and am singing along as i type!

i gotta go. dolly calls. just watch it!

{this is my fav song in the whole movie!}

George freakin' Strait

I just love George. Tonight was his Country artist of the decade concert. It was so good. A lot of country stars were there like, Tim and Faith, Taylor Swift, Garth, LeAnn Rimes etc. They all sang his songs but the best was when Jamie Foxx sang "You look so good in Love", wow! George is such a humble man despite everything he has. I appreciate an artist that still thanks God because most wouldn't have what they do without the All Mighty from up above. Plus he's 57 and still looks amazing...I mean I would totally be all over that, if he weren't married and I didn't have Travis (I guess!).

P.S. to explain the freakin' in the title...today I was informed by the dad that Ian is putting freakin' in front of everything. So according to Ian, I love George freakin' Strait!
