Song lyrics of the day

What you feel is what you are
and what you are is
BEAUTIFUL

-"Slide"  The Goo Goo Dolls

Fun fact

My pants are too big!  My pants are too big!

But the unfortunate side effect of that is that they are FALLING OFF my butt.  I have had carpenters crack all day!

Observation

The side bar on my Facebook page is showing me advertisements for things in this order:

1.  Plastic surgery

2.  Yoga

3.  The New York Yankees

4.  Disney

5.  Lawyers

Oh man.

TRUTH.

Quote of the day

I believe that God never waits til the last minute.  He always waits until the BEST minute.

Song lyrics of the day

You can lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence

- "the end of the innocence"  Don Henley

Weekend review

1.  Watched the Tar Heels beat the Wolfpack in 18 LONG INNINGS on Saturday night.  They are calling it the best game in ACC history for baseball.  I'd believe that.  Go Heels!  Oh yes, and you gotta hold the bull by the BALLS.

2.  Obligatory picture with Wool E. Bull at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

3.  Memorial Day - thank you to those who served.  This picture is from the road leading up to the front gate of Camp LeJeune.  Gone but not Forgotten.

4.  BABY JACK!  We hung out with Derek and Courtney and I just wanted to eat this little guy up.  Isn't he adorable?!

5.  Total side note - I came across my high school class ring over the weekend.  Go Wildcats!

Safety First!

OK this just wants to stay sideways for some reason.  I got my Sport ID today!

This makes me laugh

1.  My husband knows I hate dealing with HelpDesk issues.
2.  He's well aware that multiple people in my company are from India.
3.  This is still hilarious.

Can you believe my little nugget is 8 years old??  Where does the time go?!

TRUTH.

My life story

I have a problem.

Hello, my name is Carrie Griffin and I have a problem.  I am addicted to buying bikinis.  I just bought this one.  I believe that makes 30+ that I own now.

Less than two weeks until my beach trip!  WOO HOO!

Would this stupid law class hurry up and get over already?!  

I've got one Harry Potter book left to finish!

Song lyrics of the day

I could love you for all I'm worth
To the ends of the Earth
But I just can't love you back

-"I can't love you back"  Eastin Corbin

My obsession of the week

There is NOTHING hotter than a man who can play the piano.  WOW.

Song lyrics of the day

If you wanna call me, call me, call me
You don’t have to worry ‘bout it baby
You can wake me up in the dead of the night
Wreck my plans, baby that’s alright
This is a drop everything kinda thing
Swing on by, I’ll pour you a drink
The door’s unlocked, I’ll leave on the lights
Baby you can crash my party anytime

-"Crash my party"  Luke Bryan

*rediscovering country music is AWESOME.

Always.

Stay.

The one word I never heard and always wished for.

Quote of the day

NUMQUAM DESISTAS.


For those that aren't dorky enough to know Latin, that's "Never Give Up."
 - Jim Valvano

Oh it's ON...

Seventeen more days until my beach weekend with my girlfriends.  Seventeen days of no alcohol, no soda, drinking smoothies, dieting and PRAYING I look decent in a bikini this year.  All of my girlfriends wear tankinis (unnecessaarily, I might add) and they keep joking with me that this is my year to join the Tankini Club.  FUCK NO.  It's not going to happen.

Song lyrics of the day

And all I want from you is
What you are
And even if you're right
Next to me
You're still too far away
If I'm not inside your arms
I get dramatic baby,
Yes I know
But I need you, I want you
Ooh man, I love you so
Ooh, ooh

You're gonna see
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna try
I'm gonna take this love
Right to ya
All my heart, all the joy
Ooh baby, baby please
-"Rush Rush"  Paul Abdul

I picked these on my walk this morning.  Stay girlie!

Quote of the day

it's how i feel when i do a release

when i start the process that i know it's now visible to everyone

it's like getting naked and changing into what you're trying on before anyone in the store notices you're standing at the clothing rack 

gotta do it fast and hope nobody notices lest you be SO embarrassed 

and god forbid the clothes don't fit and you have to go back to the old stuff

instead of just paying for the new stuff and walking out in it

-Baron Chandler

Happy Mother's Day!

Totally relevant for work

Odd compliment of the day

Quote of the day

I might sound crunchy granola... but I don't care 

crocks and socks I say!

Song Lyrics of the day

Well how do I miss talking to you
and how I do miss lying with you, lying on me

Tangled all up
wrapped all around
missing your touch when all I think of is holding you now

And when you call I will answer to anything
For I had not anticipated feeling for you like I do

But I do.

-"Tangled"  Hank Barbee


*side note: I went to high school with Hank.  He's got a very laid back vibe.  Check him out!

True Confession Tuesday

I secretly love embarrassing my coworkers when they are all dressed up and completely out of their element.  Ok maybe not so secretly.  :)

You guys look really cute.

A prayer for today

Your voice

Especially when you say "Hey babe."

TRUTH.

I'm sick

Who in the hell gets a cold in MAY?!

Oh wait, me.

P-U-B-L-I-C

I'm working on a paper today and I'm trying to type the work P U B L I C.  Can I just tell you how many times I've misspelled it and typed PUBIC!?  Oh my goodness, what is WRONG with me today!?

I swear I have the sense of humor of a 12-year-old boy.

Thought for the day

Quote of the day

You're probably NAKED under those clothes.  You slut.

OUCH!

I just got the weirdest cramp in my upper abdominals.  My entire top side of my abs (at the VERY top, the top 2 of 8) just totally cramped up!  It was so bizarre.  AND PAINFUL.  I've never had that happen before - and of course I tried to take a picture of it because I suddenly had a random 2 pack...  but I couldn't stop screaming long enough to hold the camera steady. 

My favorite song

So I've gotten back into country music - you can thank XM radio's The Highway for that.  This is my absolute favorite song right now.  :)

Song lyrics of the day

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

- "Sailing"  Christopher Cross
