Somewhere in Between

So you know how I always say things to me are best expressed lyrically? Well today these are part of my lyrics.

I can't be

Losing sleep over this

No I can't

And now I cannot stop pacing

Give me a few hours

I'll have this all sorted out

If my mind would just stop racing

I'm fine. For those of you reading this going "What the hell is going on?" I'm fine. I just have someone on my heart. I'm not sure what to do. It's weighing pretty heavy on my heart and mind. A big part of me wants to help them. I just know that by doing that I will be inviting things back into my life that I'm not entirely sure I want. I just hope that they know in their heart that I love them and I'm praying for them.

February...

So this month there are some people in my life that have birthdays. I would like to take this blog oppurtunity to acknowledge them. They are some very special people that I love with all of my heart.

My Aunt Leaoma, she's my other mother.....I love her with my entire heart. I can remember going to her house in Lubbock and her making me cookies when I was little. Now she sends me Avon packages. She's the greatest. Her birthday is on the 21st. She's one of the most beautiful ladies ever. I know that if I need honesty she's the person to go to. She's always someone I can call and tell them exactly what's on my mind and she doesn't even bat and eye. I love that about her. She's truly the greatest. And yes I know she's reading this and I'm in trouble for putting up the picture.....deal with it....I love you.

My Aunt Lita & Clint (my cousin) have birthdays on the 23rd & 25th....I always get the dates confused on whose is which date. But I love them dearly. Clint & I graduated together. He was there for me through alot of broken hearts and alot of fun times. He was one of my very best friends through high school and I love him very much. My Aunt Lita has always been such a blessing. She's always so thoughtful and gets you cards for your birthday and Christmas and every holiday in between. She always remembers the little things. She's pretty awesome.

Next month has a pretty special birthday or 2 in it as well.....but I wanted to wish these people a happy birthday. They are very near & dear to my heart.

Electricity!

So it's been at least 9 days since I last blogged. We've been without electricity because of a snow & ice storm that came through the great state of Oklahoma. Let me tell you that after being without electricity for more than a week I have never been more happy to be able to clean house in my life. We've been taking our dog and going to my parents house and doing laundry but when we've been here in the evenings we still couldn't do dishes or anything like that. So my house has been a wreck. Today I have been catching up on the rest of our laundry and dishes and I have to say, I'm not even going to bitch about it. Sitting in the dark was no fun. Having to go without my computer sucked. I'm so happy to see this beautiful screen come to life. In the grand scheme of things, I'm pretty spoiled. I can walk in and turn on a light to see my beautiful house anytime that I want to, I can switch on a box and see something that is happening all the way across the world from me (usually it's sports related), and I can get online and communicate with my best friend who lives at least an hour away. Not everyone has that luxury. Some people don't have the luxury of hot & cold running water. I have to say that sitting in the cold & dark house for a few days makes you realize just how good your life really is. I have the greatest life. The greatest husband. The greatest family. And some very awesome friends. They kept me going this week. For that I am very grateful.

Happy Birthday!

So today is my Best Friends birthday. I wanted to take the time to tell her Happy Birthday. You know, to me, birthdays are the greatest thing in the world. I am like a 5 year old on my birthday. It's the biggest most important day ever to me. I love it. I know not everyone is like that, but I am. So today on my BFF's special day I want her to know that I'm thinking about her. So, Shawna, here's to you.....I hope your birthday is fabulous. Take at least 5 minutes for yourself today, just to enjoy your birthday. Have a "big ass" vanilla dr pepper and think of me. If I can't be there in person at least I can be there in spirit. So I guess what I'm saying is I love you "Emma" & Happy Birthday.....Love, "Liv"

Sometimes in life there really are bonds formed that can never be broken. Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. Maybe you'll find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding, but theres also the chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime, the one person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself is the same person who's been standing beside you all along.  --Bride Wars

Lady A...

Ok so we've long since established that I'm in love with music. Tomorrow one of my all time favorite bands has a cd dropping and I'm so excited about it I can't hardly stand it! I've been holding out to buy this cd for at least a month! Lady Antebellum, they take my breath away. I'm more than excited that tomorrow I will finally own thier second cd!! I'm quite positive that it will be just as amazing as thier first! They have this sound that just sucks you in and you can't help but stay there. You wanna sing along, you wanna dance....mostly they have that kind of music that makes you feel. To me that is the greatest kind of music. So tonight my blog is about Lady A....one of the greatest bands you'll ever listen to. Here's one of my favorite songs....or at least the lyrics. Click Here to hear audio of song....

Can't Take My Eyes Off You lyrics


I know that the bridges that I've burned
Along the way
Have left me with these walls and these scars
That won't go away
And opening up has always been the hardest thing
Until you came

[Chorus]

So lay here beside me just hold me and don't let go
This feelin' I'm feelin' is somethin' I've never known
And I just can't take my eyes off you
And I just can't take my eyes off you

I love when you tell me that I'm pretty
When I just woke up
And I love how you tease me when I'm moody
and it's never too much
I'm falling fast and the truth is I'm not scared at all
You broke my wall
[Repeat Chorus]
