Get Write Wednesday 8

I love this song. I love the lyrics. Probably too much.

All of Me by John Legend

What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing in my head for you

My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, ohh

Tuesday Owenisms 16

Scene: At the grocery store. Folks milling around. A loud-volumed child.

Owen: Dad, you need Five Hour Energy!

Dad: I'm not Bo Jackson, Owen.

Owen: No, but you're ALWAYS grumpy in the mornings!

Cue laughing.

Monday Mumbles 33

1. Winter.Will.Not.Go.Away.

2. I know, I know. It's only the middle of February. I don't care. I hate it. I want to throw rocks at it. I want to kick it in the shins.

3. It ruined my gal pal dinner last night. I did NOT get to eat chips and salsa and laugh over inane things with my girlfriends from high school all because it had to snow. Again. On top of the foot we haven't ridded ourselves of yet from last Tuesday.

4. I worked from home Tuesday and Wednesday last week. We had a very, very shoddy mouse attached to the computer on Tuesday. We've known it was bad. Terrible, really. Wednesday morning when I confirmed I was working from home, Hubs agreed to go out and get me a new mouse. Heaven. It's amazing how much easier a computer can be when you have a functional pointy clicky device.

5. Did I mention how hard it is to work from home when a husband and three children are underfoot?

6. My car's check engine light came on Saturday, and we promptly took it to the shop. I love my Hondas, but this Pilot is starting to get on my nerves. And when the silly technicians ask "Did you get your 100,000 mile tune-up?" I get angry. I say NO. I also follow it up with "...and I never did on my 225,000 mile Accord so THERE." Stupid recommendations.

7. How would he like it if I recommend he stop eating those french fries and sign up for the boot camp I (occasionally) attend? I mean seriously. It's a Honda. Make it run, make it last, and I'll stay out of your hair.

8. I stared at my strappy sandals for a minute yesterday. Because I desperately want sunshine and 75 degrees.

9. And then I immediately decided that if the car repairs aren't actually as terrible as what I've imagined they'll be all weekend, I will just go buy myself some new shoes to spite the winter.

10. Oh, and the kids had zero school except for Monday last week. Imagine the fun that Hubs had. Ha!
