I may or may not have fallen out of bed this morning. And by may or may not have, I mean I did. That's right people, I am 28.5 years old and I still fall out of my bed. It was a good wake up call though, so I got my butt out of bed at 5:30 a.m. which actually gave me enough time to get ready (good since it's picture day today at school) and even to shave (good since I have a dr appt today and I need him to look at my legs).
And you know what else, falling out of bed actually made me laugh. I was laying on my hard wood floor all tangled up in my down comforter at 5:30 in the morning and I was laughing. Maybe I should wake up that way more often!
And since I'm in a good mood, here is another of my favorite songs for you to enjoy:
Day 14 - A song that no one would expect you to love
It's weird because thus far I haven't put on any country songs. And I listen to a whole lot of country music. My most recently favorite song...I Cross My Heart by good ole George Strait.

I skipped day 12 because it is a Friday and I want to be happy and not think about things I hate. The universe is trying to work against me though and make me ornery and frustrated. I'm still holding strong and refusing to let said universe have its way with me.
In what ways is the universe working against me, you might ask? Well, yesterday I left work 1 hour early only to get halfway home and realize that the dr. appointment that I left work early for had been cancelled. So now I have to leave work early next week and go (not that I'm complaining about leaving work early, I would just rather leave early for fun stuff rather than cancelled dr. appointments). Plus I was really hoping that my flaky doctor would prescribe me something for acne-the current bane of my existence. That was frustration 1. Frustration 2-apparently in small towns no one wants my business. My hair business that is. I've been trying to find someone to color/cut my hair because it is driving me crazy and I won't be going up to SLC soon enough to have my lovely sister do it. Would you believe that Blanding does not have one single salon? And everyone who works from their homes apparently hates me and refuses to call me back/find time in their schedules to do my dang hair. So frustrating.
The good news is that it is Friday, I will most likely sneak out of work early and I have some big plans for my self which I'll fill you in on sometime next week. Be excited.
And on that happier note...
Day 13 - A song that is a guilty pleasure (don't judge me)

A random fact that you most likely don't know about me-I love Third Eye Blind. Every time I hear one of their songs, I'm transported back to high school.
Like when I hear How's It Going to Be, I always think of my first heartbreak. I remember going homecoming dress shopping with my besties right after my first love broke up with me. I was sitting in the back seat and this song came on and as I stared out at the stars, a few tears ran down my face. Hearing that song takes me right there.
Or when I hear God of Wine and I'm suddenly back at my senior prom. At my high school, prom was kinda a big deal and when you arrived at the high school, a red carpet was there to lead you into the gym. Parents and friends lined the red carpet to take pictures and cheer for you. My date decided that we needed to have some music playing as we walked in and his choice-God of Wine. Everytime I heard it I feel happy and beautiful and loved.
Third Eye Blind plays in my mind as I think back on high school. So enjoy this song (my favorite of all of their songs) and take a leap back with me into the 90's.
Day 11 - A song from your favorite band

Today is going to be a good day. I know it because as I drove to work today, I only had to pass one car.
That last statement probably needs an explanation. The truth is-I judge the quality of my day based on how many cars I have to pass as I drive to work. When you have to drive on a one lane highway, you appreciate the days when other cars don't get in your way. The days when there are hundreds (okay, maybe more like tens) of slow cars on the road that I have to pass on my way to work because they refuse to drive faster than 45 and I like to drive closer to 75, I know it's going to be a bad day. Probably because I start off the day with some road rage.
But today, I only have to pass one car. So even though my hair looks awful and I hate my outfit and I have a huge burn on my thumb and no make up on, I know it's going to be a good one.
To share my good day with you, I'm sharing day 10...
Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep
I couldn't think of a specific song but every single time I try to watch Fantasia, without fail, I fall asleep. So pretty much any song from the movie I guess :)

So you may have noticed that I've been m.i.a. for the past week. That's only because I was vacay-ing in southern California with my bff and her family. Even though the weather refused to cooperate, we still had a blast.
I swam in the freezing ocean, learned to boogie board, talked for hours and played about a million games of monkey bridge.
It was such a nice vacation and I was not ready to come back to work today. Not even a little bit. Especially since I didn't even get a tan so no one can even tell that I've been at a beach. Boo.
But since I'm back in the real world, I figured I might as well amuse you more with my next song...
Day 08 - A song that you know all the words to
Considering I have such a bad memory, it's pretty impressive that I know all the words to quite a few songs. They just stay in there.
But my favorite, Spiderwebs by No Doubt...
And since I've missed so many days, you will also be blessed with...
Day 09 - A song that you can dance to
I'm not much of a dancer but literally every time I hear this song, I can't help but move.
(sidenote...since lady gaga always has some questionable antics, I've included the video from my fave show again)

I'm a dork. Have I mentioned that? You can probably gather it from past posts but I'll just say it, I'm totally a dork.
What, you want proof?
Here it is then...Day 07 - A song that reminds you of a certain event.
When I was 12, I started young womens. And as part of personal progress, I picked that I would create an aerobic routine and perform it. Now before I tell you what song I picked, let me defend myself.
I didn't have anyone around to guide me in my musical pursuits. My older brother was a little (okay, a lot) more wild than I was. And his music portrayed his wild ways. The radio station in town consisted only of country music and I couldn't understand the country music way of life (until I hit college and then I started my love affair with country music). I did dabble a little bit in Green Day thanks to my middle school besties but that was pretty much the extent of my listening to "cool" music.
So when a complete dork who has little exposure to music is asked to create an aerobic routine to a song...what song would she pick?
Only A Whole New World from Aladdin.
Don't judge me. And don't make fun of me too much.
So this song will forever and always remind me of my aerobic routine performed in front of my family with my little sister Brittany.
Don't even ask me how we managed to accomplish this without the ridicule of my older brother Brandon. I'm still not sure why he didn't torment us relentlessly. Maybe some day I'll get up the courage to ask him if he remembers this. Or maybe I won't because he might decide that now would be the time to torment me about my bad music choices and my probably far worse dancing.

Day 05 - A song that reminds you of someone &
Day 06 - A song that reminds of you of somewhere
The date...February 14, 2001. The place...Brookview apartments in Provo. In order to celebrate my singleness for yet another Valentine's day (at that point I had only not been single once in my life on V-day) I decided that my roommates and I should all make sugar cookies. And while we made those cookies, we may have played this song on repeat for hours and sung at the top of our lungs.
I'm pretty sure all of our neighbors hated us...I probably would have hated us if I had lived next to or above or below us on that particular afternoon.
So I present to you My Valentine by Martina McBride and Jim Brickman. Which will forever and ever remind me of Brookview apartments and the lovely ladies who were my roommates at the time-Megan, Morgan, Texann, Kristin and Heather.

Ironic that today would be Day 04 - A song that makes you sad. Because I feel sad today. All last week I was in a "woe is me" pity party. I was feeling discouraged and lonely and blah. Then this weekend things started to turn around. It was nice and cool and fall-y. The leaves are changing colors. I decorated for Halloween and was uplifted at church and visited with friends. I even wore pink tights to church with my grey boots which obviously made me smile.
It was good. Then I got a call last night and things turned again. I felt sad and confused and maybe even a little angry. I won't go into details and I don't want you to worry about me. Everything is fine-my family life is always just a little complicated :)
On the way to work this morning, I was still feeling a little sad. And so to include you in my woe is me pity party...enjoy a song that always makes me sad.

Day 03 - A song that makes you happy
With a doubt, Total Eclipse of the Heart always makes me feel happy. Could be my love for all things 80's. Or the fact that it always reminds me of when Meg and I drove to Texas and listened to this on repeat for hours until we had every word memorized. Or that it reminds me of singing American Fork Karaoke with Meg and Jarid suddenly jumped in to sing along unexpectedly. Regarless of why it makes me happy, it does.
And want to know what else makes me happy, the literal version. Because every time I watch it, I laugh so hard I cry. Every time. Enjoy!

Day 02 - Your least favorite song
Hmm...this one is a hard one. Not because there are songs that I don't like, because there are. But because I don't spend much time listening to the songs that I don't like. And as most of you already know, I don't have a great memory. So trying to remember songs that I don't like and choose not to listen to? Difficult.
If I had to pick one I guess I would go with Wannabe by the Spice Girls. I chose not to include the video because why would you want to watch the video of my least favorite song? I certainly don't want to go to the hassle of finding it and including it.
Disclaimer-I may still know all the words to this song. Sad, I know. Don't judge me.

Some days I have nothing to say. Not that nothing happens, I just don't feel like saying it outloud (sometimes I like to live in my own thoughts).
Lately, I've had nothing to say. And my blog has obviously suffered due to my silence.
I decided on a cure-all for days such as these. Enjoy my month of music (which may take more than a month, may take less...you never can tell with me).
Here's the list just in case you want to follow along:

Day 02 - Your least favorite song
Day 03 - A song that makes you happy
Day 04 - A song that makes you sad
Day 05 - A song that reminds you of someone
Day 06 - A song that reminds of you of somewhere
Day 07 - A song that reminds you of a certain event
Day 08 - A song that you know all the words to
Day 09 - A song that you can dance to
Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep

Day 28 - A song that makes you feel guilty
Day 29 - A song from your childhood
Day 30 - Your favorite song at this time last year
Day 1-my favorite song would probably have to be Imagine. Mostly because I can listen to it over and over and never get sick of it. And it hits a spiritual note with me too which I love. Most recently, I loved the Glee version of Imagine (and ps...expect to see lots of Glee love on this list).
Seriously, love.
