"It's a bird! It's a plane!....No! It's a blog post!"

Hello everyone!

It is June.

JUNE!!

*Laughs maniacally* 

I have lost the handle I used to think I had on my life. 

I. Can. Not. Get. Organized. To. Save. My. Life.

The longer I've been away from blogging, the harder it's been for me to write again. I've opened my laptop a couple times with the best intentions in the world and just sat there like:

After Memorial Day slipped by and June slapped me over the face a few times, I was like, "Right! Time to get back on the proverbial bike and...and...Ride it,dang it!"

So here I sit.

(Side note. It's rather disturbing to be gone from your blog so long that you actually forget what it looks like.I just sat there like, "When did I make it blue?...That will have to change....What on earth did I do to the formatting? That will also have to change..." Awkward.)

And the best thing to do, it would seem, is to sort of fill you on on what's been going on in my life. Not to worry, it wont take all that long. *Sneer*

In order of awesomeness:

Number One:

I am taking the singing class at the college this quarter! *Dances*
There's an issue with how many times a person can sign up for the same class and I had definitely maxed out on my repeat-ability...
But the teacher was offering the class at a time that I could get to without having to make adjustments to my work schedule... and some of my other sisters were enrolled so I thought, "What the heck, I might as well try to sign up"
Mysteriously, I signed up without a hiccup! It was like a fabulous little miracle, all wrapped in tissue paper with a giant bow on top!

Two words; Private Lessons.  

Also, solos. It's been forever since I've had the chance to perform and I'm very,very rusty. *Snarls*
(I'm toying with the idea of posting my class solo, as bad of quality as it will probably be...what do you all think?)

So yes. That's my number one big deal.

Number Two:

I bit the bullet and bought a guitar! *More dancing*

Meet Murdock. He is fabulous and has a full, rich voice. He is the bomb-diggety!

In case you're wondering, no, I can't really play the poor dear yet. I want to. I practice. I get frustrated and eyeball my fingers accusingly.
"Oh evil fingers! You betrayed me! Bend, dang it! BEND!"
Then I usually end up putting on my gloves and hitting the punching bag for a while.

Perhaps I exaggerate.

I love to  make noise on the beautiful contraption, and my sister is surprisingly patient with me. I'm pretty much like this:

Watch the video. Do it. Click it. PLAY IT!

Happily, I have found a channel on youtube that seems like it's going to be very helpful in my learning. The fellow is really easy to watch and he explain things really well and...he reminds me of a goofy Rory Williams. Seriously.

Similar, yes?

Number Three:

This one is futuristic, but I'm excited about it so it makes the list. So there.

I'm (hopefully) taking a hand-to-hand combat class and a knife fighting class in August this year! 

IT'S TERRIFYING AND WONDERFUL! I'll get to HIT things!  

I'm still working out the details. I'm actually a timid little thing and don't want to go without a sister...or a friend....or an acquaintance. Somebody...

BUT HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT!

Number four:

I am almost done with my floral design course and if all goes well, I will find  myself with a pay raise. *Pulls out the ahooga horn*

That will be glorious! That will be fa-hab-u-lous!

Three things. That's the extent of my news in three months. 

Could be worse.

As far as my hopes and dreams for this blog in the future, it's vague still, it's very Hit and Miss (see what I did there) and it's still a work in progress.

But I'm planning on a post a week. That's my goal. I have goals. *Pats self on back*

Now I'm shall leave you with a song. Because that's what I feel like doing. Ha. 

I don't know what it is lately, but this song has been my thing. It's my, "I'm off work, time to turn up the music and head home, singing at the top of my lungs," song. 

It is so much 'the thing' right now that I wrote out some of my favorite lyrics. 'Cause I do that. 

Now shush, and listen. 

God Bless and I'll be back again really soon!

Day 23 of the Challenge!

I'm in a hurry tonight. I'm going to post my song, my picture and then I'm off! My sister and I are going to re-watch one of my favorite episodes of Psych tonight and I'm excited. It's the little things in life...it really is.

Anyway.

Song.

23.) A song you want played at your wedding.

I wasn't kidding when I said that I have a list of songs I want played at my wedding--the reception, anyway. Maybe I'll write them all out someday and let you know which songs make the grade. *Grin* But today is not that day.

To change up the list of Josh songs that get posted here, I'm going to post Hunter Hayes Wanted. 

You know I'd fall apart without you

I don't know how you do what you do

'Cause everything that don't make sense about me

Makes sense when I'm with you

I think I'd like to dance to this song. It seems like a dance sort of song. Imagine this song in a setting like this. Awesome.

I wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold your hand forever

And never let you forget it

Yeah, I, I wanna make you feel wanted

You're more than everything I need

You're all I ever wanted

All I ever wanted

Picture.

23.) Sunflare

I'm confess, I completely forgot about the picture for today until after the sun was pretty much gone. So this is an old picture I had on my computer. I am cheating. :) But I'm a very honest cheater.

Oh look. More trees.

Hurray! I'm done. Now excuse me while I settle down to enjoy myself and drink tea. If you'd like to pull up a chair and join in, please do! The more the merrier. And there's always plenty of tea around here. Or coffee. Whichever you prefer.

God Bless!

I know it's crazy

Song.
18.) A song you wish you heard on the radio.

~I want crazy~

I'm booking myself a one way flight

I gotta see the color in your eyes

And telling myself I'm gonna be alright

Without you baby is a waste of time

I am forever hoping to hear this song on the radio and I never do. My sister assures me that she hears it all the time when she's in the car, but when I get in we're back to Katy Perry. And that's when the radio gets turned off.

Yeah, our first date, girl, the seasons changed

It got washed away in a summer rain

You can't undo a fall like this

'Cause love don't know what distance is

Yeah, I know it's crazy

You know how some songs are just more fun and exciting when they come on the radio? Why is that?

Maybe it's just me, but when the radio is playing a song that I love, I feel really happy. It's like, "They're playing my song!" Even though I could probably turn on my mp3 player and hear the same song, it's different when it's coming from the radio.

Or I'm just insane. Which is also possible. 

I just discovered Hunter Hayes this summer and I think he does some really good music. (Plus, he's really nice looking. :)
There are a handful of 'favorites' that I listen to all the time, and there isn't one I can think of that I don't like. The first one of his songs I ever heard was I want Crazy. I loved it right off. It's such a fun, upbeat song and the lyrics are awesome, especially the refrain.

But I don't want "good" and I don't want "good enough"

I want "can't sleep, can't breathe without your love"

Front porch and one more kiss, it doesn't make sense to anybody else

Who cares if you're all I think about,

I've searched the world and I know now,

It ain't right if you ain't lost your mind

Yeah, I don't want easy, I want crazy

Are you with me baby? Let's be crazy

But really, you should just watch the video. It's a great song. 

The song doesn't start till 48 seconds in, if you want to skip to there. 

Picture.

18.) Your shoes.

This is my favorite pair of shoes and I couldn't show them off well enough with just one picture. That's one of my favorite things about Fall--wearing boots again. Boots are awesome. :)

I got these a few years ago and wish that I could buy another pair just like them as a back-up pair. As it is, I am looking for another pair of black boots to wear most days so I don't wear these out too fast. It sounds silly, doesn't it? I feel silly saying that. But these are the best boots I've ever had and I love how they actually lace all the way up the front and that they're a tall boot. They're everything I want in a boot. And I don't want to wear them out! lol. 

I'm going to go make tea now and do some reading. I've started on a book and so far it's been good. Let's hope it keeps that way. I've gone through two books this week that started out great and ended up being pretty rubbish. That makes me sad.

Oh, but I did read Haphazardly Implausible by Miss Jack Lewis Baillot and I really enjoyed that one! It was so fun. :) If I can find some extra time, I'd like to do a book review on it. We'll see.

That's all for today.

God Bless!
