I was working at someone at work was humming the song Mickey by B-Witched. Anyway that was a couple hours ago and this part is really sticking in my head:

'Cause when you say you will,
it always means you won't

You're givin' me the chills, baby, please baby don't
Every night you still leave me all alone, Mickey

Oh Mickey, what a pity you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh Mickey, you're so pretty, can't you understand
It's guys like you Mickey
Oh, what you do Mickey, do Mickey
Don't break my heart, Mickey

Maybe I'm spending a little too much time in reflection... Or the guys I am meeting these days are just... definitely not for me.

Tonight Grace and I went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ~ oh yes, on opening day. :)



I loved this movie!! It was much better than the book. I have to admit, this was my favorite of the movies so far and the book I hated reading. The book was long and angry and I really didn't like doing it. However.. this movie ROCKED!! But it was a bit on the scary side so children shouldn't go.... which means more popcorn for me! haha

For those who have not caught the Hogwarts bug, here is what the movie is about: "With their warning about Lord Voldemort's return scoffed at, Harry and Dumbledore are targeted by the Wizard authorities as an authoritarian bureaucrat slowly seizes power at Hogwarts."

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah’s Ark

One: Don't miss the boat.

Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

Four: Stay rested. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

Six: Build your future on high ground.

Seven: For safety’s sake, travel in pairs.

Eight: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

Nine: When you're stressed, float a while.

Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

Eleven: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there’s always a rainbow waiting...

I have recently spent a week with my parents and we had a great time. Just talking and spending that time together. I enjoy my family, a lot. I am close to my parents and my sister, Grace. We all have such different senses of humor that putting us together is often hysterical.

Mom and I spent a lot more time together this time than normal, which was cool. We discussed the local gossip, watched her soaps, and even a couple movies. We have the same interests as far as tv goes, so that is cool. While talking about something we were watching, the conversation turned to marriage and children. I don't even remember how it came out, exactly, but there was a comment about me "choosing to stay single". I know that she meant well, but I hate it when my Mom tells me "you're not the settling type". I know, deep down, that she was complimenting me for my independence, but... it kind of stung.

On one hand, I agree with her. I'm not going to settle for anything less than what I want.

But, the way that she meant it was that I'm not the "settling down type" because it always comes up when she is asking about my love life or telling me about the millionth person who is having a baby or some kids barely 18 who are getting married. Mom just laughs when remind her that its hard enough to get to know who I am as an adult, let along without tying myself to another person who is insecure with who they are.

It's not that I don't want to be married one day, but ONLY to the right One. I have no desire to be one of these people who get divorced so many times they don't remember their maiden name. Nor do I want to be one of these married people who cease to exist once the vows are repeated. Why do some people still see their validation in having a husband or a wife? (Oh wait that's a whole other rant on its own!)

I have plenty of time, I'm only 27. I'm educated, able to pay my own bills, and have a good head on my shoulders. When I want to, I go out on dates. When I don't, I don't feel guilty for spending time with others that I enjoy (friends and co-workers). And, believe it or not, when I get lonely I have a few that I could call, if I wanted, and they would be here before I could hang up the phone. But that's not what I want, I want something more. But I only want it with the right One. I'm in no hurry.

Sometimes I feel sad because I haven't met Him yet, or because everyone is having babies and my clock ticks a bit. But that is why I have this job, I have four babies to take care of that adore me, and I love them. The best part of it though, is that when I need to I can leave them behind with the staff and go swimming! LOL For now, that works. :)

Besides, I love love love this quote:

Oh this is one of my favorite holidays!
I love Independence Day, well and Halloween!

My heart always breaks on Memorial Day because all I can think about are the men and women who are serving our country and their families who are serving here by their sacrifices and especially when the ultimate price is paid for our freedom...

However, Independence Day is a celebration of all of those who have and currently serve our country and a celebration of the things they accomplished! Yes it makes me think of those who sacrificed their lives for us. But it’s... a reason for us to commemorate it with joyful times!

Just realized that my music thing is messed up, all of the songs are not playing what they are supposed to be. So I am redoing it, but so far I've only found one song that actually works on it.

Ugh. LOL

Its just a little frustrating.

Maybe I'll decide against having this :) But I'm still learning how to work it.

Dear Diary,

I know I have written about
Cesar Millan before, He's the Dog Whisperer. Each time I watch his show I take away this 'yummy warm feeling' about what I am searching for. Granted, he works with dogs, and I am an educated human. But when it gets down to it, aren't we all just animals? He has this... calm quiet assertiveness that drives me absolutely crazy! The sound of his voice and watching his actions, just gives me goosebumps.

So how come when I return to work and to my normal day-to-day activities I forget that it IS out there? If Ceasar Millan can be that way, surely there are others!?! He's just... yummy. Some submissives would be offended by being compared to an out of control dog, but when it gets down to it, we all get a little out of control when we aren't able to communicate our needs/desires/and wants.

Also, I would love to learn to "live in the moment, exist in the moment" the way that Ceasar says that dog's do. And to be honest, yes I would remember the mistakes one makes, but if a Man was able to snap into that calm assertive controlling Team Leader role, I don't think my heart could help but to follow Him...

Trust me, The Dog Whisperer is definitely worth watching!!

If you take out the "cheating" aspect, and the whole
"sex with a stranger" thing, this is a sexy song!
And something about this picture, fits it.


Escape (Pina Colada Song)
Sung by: Rubert Holmes

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long.
Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song.
So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.
And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean.
But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine.
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad.
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad.

"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.
At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape."

So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face.
It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you."
And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"..

"That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."
