Darn it @@LipstickLady! I'm blaming you... I made the mistake of watching the video in the wee small hours of the morning, and now I have it stuck in my head!

So... I am a total girl. That said, I often find myself randomly singing these lyrics thru out the day:

"To the window (to the window), to the wall (to the wall)

To the sweat drop down my balls (my balls)

To all these b!tches crawl (crawl)"

Well, I ain't always right but I've never been wrong

Seldom turns out the way it does in a song

Once in a while you get shown the light

In the strangest of places if you look at it right

I have a few favorite songs; I like the lyrics to Pink Floyd's "On The Turning Away"

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"
It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud
On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
Mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

Bonnie Raitt did it best:

"I Can't Make You Love Me"

Turn down the lights;
Turn down the bed.
Turn down these voices
Inside my head.

Lay down with me;
Tell me no lies.
Just hold me close;
Don't patronize.

Don't patronize me.

[Chorus:]
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't.
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't.
Here in the dark
In these final hours,
I will lay down my heart
And I'll feel the power;
But you won't.
No, you won't.
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't.

I'll close my eyes,
Then I won't see
The love you don't feel
When you're holding me.

Morning will come,
And I'll do what's right;
Just give me till then
To give up this fight.

And I will give up this fight.

Eddie Vedder-"Just Breathe"

Oh I'm a lucky man to count on

both hand the ones I love.

Some folks just have one yea,

others they've got none

Stay with me...let's just breathe...

How do you like me now?

How do you like me now?

Now that I'm on my way

Do you still think I'm crazy

Toby Kieth this has to be the theme song for everyone who made the mistake of telling the wrong person about their WLS????

Narrowing down to one is nearly impossible. I may need to blow up your thread ;)


Here's my anthem - In My Mind by Amanda Palmer.


In my mind

In a future five years from now

I'm one hundred and twenty pounds

And I never get hung over

Because I will be the picture of discipline

Never minding what state I'm in

And I will be someone I admire

And it's funny how I imagined

That I would be that person now

But it does not seem to have happened

Maybe I've just forgotten how to see

That I am not exactly the person that I thought I'd be


And in my mind

In the faraway here and now

I've become in control somehow

And I never lose my wallet

Because I will be the picture of of discipline

Never fucking up anything

And I'll be a good defensive driver

And it's funny how I imagined

That I would be that person now

But it does not seem to have happened

Maybe I've just forgotten how to see

That I'll never be the person that I thought I'd be


And in my mind

When I'm old I am beautiful

Planting tulips and vegetables

Which I will mindfully watch over

Not like me now

I'm so busy with everything

That I don't look at anything

But I'm sure I'll look when I am older

And it's funny how I imagined

That I could be that person now

But that's not what I want

But that's what I wanted

And I'd be giving up somehow

How strange to see

That I don't wanna be the person that I want to be


And in my mind

I imagine so many things

Things that aren't really happening

And when they put me in the ground

I'll start pounding the lid

Saying I haven't finished yet

I still have a tattoo to get

That says I'm living in the moment

And it's funny how I imagined

That I could win this, win this fight

But maybe it isn't all that funny

That I've been fighting all my life

But maybe I have to think it's funny

If I wanna live before I die

And maybe it's funniest of all

To think I'll die before I actually see

That I am exactly the person that I want to be


Fuck yes

I am exactly the person that I want to be

Real Love, Michael McDonald

If only just tonight, girl
Let me hear you lie just a little
Tell me I'm the only man
That you ever really loved

My favorite..I sing this song to my little guy.

Rachel Platten

Better Place

I'll tell the world, I'll sing a song
It's a better place since you came along
Since you came along
Your touch is sunlight through the trees
Your kisses are the ocean breeze
Everything's alright when you're with me

And I hold my favorite thing
I hold the love that you bring
But it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colors are golden and bright again
There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along

I see the whole world in your eyes
It's like I've known you all my life
We just feel so right
So I pour my heart into your hands
It's like you really understand
You love the way I am

And I hold my favorite thing
I hold the happiness you bring
But it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colors are golden and bright again
And the sun paints the skies and the wind sings our song
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along

Now I'm alright
Now I'm alright
Everything's alright

'Cause it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colors are golden and bright again
There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along

Every morning it's the same thing

Sidewalks of people with who cares stares

My heart's too big for this city

My heart's too big for my own body

My heart's too big for you to understand me

When I close my eyes

I dream in color

But my life's in black and white

Will it ever get better

I'm not monochromatic

Nobody's monochromatic

Everybody's hurting

There's nothing more human than that

See the pieces of heart's missing

But watch how the light fills the cracks

My heart's too big for the city

My heart's too big for my own body

My heart's too big for you to understand me

Please understand me

When I close my eyes

I dream in color

My life's in black and white

But it'll get better

I'm not monochromatic

Nobody's monochromatic

Nobody's monochromatic

I'm not monochromatic

Tim McGraw

Humble and Kind

You know there's a light that glows by the front door

Don't forget the key's under the mat

Childhood stars shine, always stay humble and kind

Go to church 'cause your momma says to

Visit grandpa every chance that you can

It won't be wasted time

Always stay humble and kind

Hold the door, say please, say thank you

Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie

I know you got mountains to climb but

Always stay humble and kind

When the dreams you're dreamin' come to you

When the work you put in is realized

Let yourself feel the pride but

Always stay humble and kind

Don't expect a free ride from no one

Don't hold a grudge or a chip and here's why

Bitterness keeps you from flyin'

Always stay humble and kind

Know the difference between sleeping with someone

And sleeping with someone you love

"I love you" ain't no pick up line so

Always stay humble and kind

Hold the door, say please, say thank you

Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie

I know you got mountains to climb but

Always stay humble and kind

When those dreams you're dreamin' come to you

When the work you put in is realized

Let yourself feel the pride but

Always stay humble and kind

When it's hot, eat a root beer popsicle

Shut off the AC and roll the windows down

Let that summer sun shine

Always stay humble and kind

Don't take for granted the love this life gives you

When you get where you're goin

Don't forget turn back around

And help the next one in line

Always stay humble and kind

Shawn Mullins, My Stupid Heart

My stupid heart
Is what I blame
When the arrow flies
With perfect aim

It don't work out
Like I thought it would
My stupid heart
Still thinks it could

My stupid heart
Believes the lies
The poets tell
Surprise, surprise

Good love goes bad
Falls apart
Oh, so sad
My stupid heart

My stupid heart
Can be so cruel
The way it plays me for a fool
It never learns
You think I've known
My stupid heart
Is kind of slow

My stupid heart
It plays for keeps
Through hoops of fire
It bounds and leaps
It's all for love
Right from the start
That's how it is
My stupid heart
(My stupid)
My stupid heart
(My stupid)
My stupid heart
(My stupid) heart

Also love RadioHead, Creep

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
