Sick days should be left for when you feel good!

I'm home sick AGAIN today! And I don't like it one bit! I want to be at work and not home! When I was younger I use to hope I'd get sick just so I wouldn't have to go to school! My how that's changed! All I wanna do is feel better! Sick days are better used when you're not sick! I guess I've watched Ferris Bueler too much in my lifetime! :)

I love this show!

If you know me-- you already know what show I'm talking about! I love me some Dawson's Creek! It is one of the greatest shows ever created. I was feeling nostalgic tonight and decided to put on me series finale and think of old times! (Not like I don't watch it enough during the week while the boys are playing!) But something about a television show- this one in particular- just becomes a part of me. For that hour of your life you can escape the hassles of the world and just enjoy living the life of the characters on the show. They become part of you-- it becomes serious stuff when you're watching... to the point of not allowing people to talk! :) Then the words spoke by your favorite characters, become quotes of wisdom! Maybe I'm just a little too dramatic and get too involved with the shows I watch-- but I know other people who feel as I do! So it's ok!

Some memorable words that I'm surprised I missed before:
"As much as you want to you can't rely on someone to make you feel alive-- that's an inside job!"

"It's not about getting it right... it's about knowing when it's wrong and doing something about it!"

"It's interesting how people use that expression: "Life and Death", as to say life is the opposite of death. Birth is the opposite of death-- life has no opposite."

New Shoes

There's something about a new pair of shoes that just makes me happy!! (Especially when I find them on SALE!) I think this song just fits me perfect! I can stand for hours in a shoe store trying on shoes!! They're a present to myself when I do good, when I'm feeling bad, or when they're just too cute to pass up!!

"New Shoes"-PAOLO NUTINI

Woke up cold one Tuesday,

I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick,

I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life,

So I quickly opened the wardrobe,

Pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean,

Topped it off with a pair of old shoes,

That were ripped around the seams,

And I thought these shoes just don't suit me.

[CHORUS:]

Hey, I put some new shoes on,

And suddenly everything is right,I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling,

It's so inviting,

Oh, short on money,

But long on time,

Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,

And I'm running late,

And I don't need an excuse,

'cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes.

Woke up late one Thursday,

And I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes,

And I felt like there were two days missing,

As I focused on the time,

And I made my way to the kitchen,

But I had to stop from the shock of what I found,

A room full of all off my friends dancing round and round,

And I thought hello new shoes,

Bye bye them blues.

[CHORUS]

Take me wandering through these streets,

Where bright lights and angels meet,

Stone to stone they take me on,

I'm walking to the break of dawn.

[x2][CHORUS (x2)]

Take me wandering through these streets
