Exhausted

This is how I felt this week!

Fun Picture I had saved a while back...

The Fray... a great tune.

You Found Me... By, The Fray

I found God on the corner of 1st and Amistad
Where the West was all but won
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where you been?" He said, "Ask anything"

Where were you when everything was falling apart?
All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang
And all I needed was a call that never came
To the corner of 1st and Amistad

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me

But in the end everyone ends up alone
Losing her, the only one who's ever known
Who I am, who I'm not and who I wanna be
No way to know how long she will be next to me

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me!

The early morning, the city breaks
And I've been calling for years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve taking all I want!

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor, where were you? Where were you?

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me!

Why'd you have to wait to find me, to find me?

Old Poems

I was going through some of my stuff in boxes and I found an old notebook of mine with poems. Growing up, I had a notebook to write random thoughts in, instead of a diary. I would love to share some of them...

I wrote the below in 1999...

The Game Of Life

I sit here helpless

In the Super Bowl of Life.

Apart of the crowd in the bleachers,

So far away.

I wish I was Moses,

So I could part the sea of people

who stand in our way.

As you play your game of life

I sit cheering you from a far.

I want to make an impression

On your heart that last forever.

Cause I'm sick of being on the sidelines;

I'm ready for my close up!

I am sick of the one player games,

I wanna play with you;

A game of life,

for eternity.

I Never Met a Shoe I Did Not Like

As a follow up to my earlier blog, I would like to show you all the shoes I have aquired in the past 30 days... I got REALLY GREAT DEALS on all of them but two... The two I did not get for a good deal, was for a good cause... the Alzhiemers Association had a "girls night out" at White House, Black Market... I had to support the cause!!

The "Good Cause" Shoes White House Black Market $20 each

Nike Shoes $40 at DSW

Pink Boat Shoes from Bealls $23

Madden Girl Boots, $49 from DSW

Madden Girl, DSW $11

Madden Girl, DSW $20

I'd Like to Post a Retraction from my earlier Post....

In the post "Let Lying Dogs Lie...?" I mentioned Jake saying that the people in his past need to stay in his past... He read my blog and would like me to correct his actual statement. Jake said, "anyone he wants to talk to, he can get a hold of." I apologize if this incorrect statement hurt anyone in the process!! :)

Is There Such Thing as Too Many Shoes????

So, most know that I recently picked up a second job to help me save and support my slight shopping habit. I am not the type of person who will go and spend even $100 dollars for one article of clothing, but I like to think of myself as a bargain shopper.





I find satisfaction in finding that great deal. I think outfits, shoes, accessories, etc. look better when they are found on a sales rack! Well, since I have started my new job I can't stop buying things! I am shopping online, I am shopping in the stores, I drag Jake with me in hopes he would talk me out of purchases! (Jake usually encourages my shopping habits, because he is usually standing next to me with a bigger load!) I swear when we buy our next house we need to get two closets that resemble Mariah Carey's closet! I tell you Jake's shoe collection gives me a run for my money!





Any who... back to my dilemma!





The above picture is a shoe that I saw at DSW that is the cutest thing! I have a tendency to go there on my way home from work... That does not sound that bad except that I have been jonesen for a new pair of black boots (that are now on sale at DSW) and the st. patty's day shirt I found at Bealls! Also, there is that minor goal to learn to SEW... that could be difficult to accomplish, unless I get a sewing machine!

The Boot I am looking at $49.00

I suppose I can do the responsible thing, placing half in savings and half toward my 'wants'. But, I also am contributing to a money jar for Jake and I to go skiing at the end of the year! Hopefully my lotto ticket will hit big tonight... and some of my minimal issues will go away and I can focus on things like Peace in the Middle East!
