Songs of My Life – June 2011
Keep Your Head Up by Andy Grammer – my friend Heather tweeted this video to me and I instantly fell in love with it. She said it reminded her of me, but the lyrics “only rainbows after rain,” remind me of her and her tattoo “No rain. No rainbow.” Either way, it was great way to start off the month of June so thank you … Continue reading Songs of My Life – June 2011

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmrOB_q3tjo] I had a crappy day today. It didn’t start out that way. I didn’t wake up late or arrive late to work, but circumstances that I cannot control turned the day into crappy. I left working feeling beaten down, wanting to cry, wanting to drown my day in a bottle of wine, and ignoring the world. I got in the car and Katy … Continue reading Keep Your Head Up
Do It
As I sat in the passenger seat of Suzanne’s car with my arm hanging out the window and my foot propped on the open window, I realized that 2011 is the year of “Do It” or the year of “Dreams Coming to Reality.” This year, I will FINALLY be going to Australia in December and in August, I will be road tripping to Key West. … Continue reading Do It
