    Sometimes, a girl’s just got to put her foot down and take a stand. I’m not talking about doing something that’ll put you on murder row, of course, but there comes a time when enough is enough. And when that time does come, enter …..

    Cause if they use us. And they abuse us. How could you tell us that we were wrong !

    (Just sayin.)

    My roommate was the first person to introduce me to Lana Del Rey and her song Video Games. Not only is it a great video, but the song ….. well, the song just says it all.

    Lana Del Rey – Video Games 

    Reminds me of a high school, nothing else matters in the world kind of love … wouldn’t you agree?

    Lately – in the past few months, lately – I’ve become more increasingly aware of life’s glimpses of perfection. Those moments when all is right in the world. You’re not just content, you’re happy beyond words. You realize for a brief snap shot of time that you’re there – you’re in the moment – and life at that instant is indeed ….. perfect. It almost catches you off guard at how overwhelmingly the feeling takes over and just as quickly as it arose, something snaps your attention away and it’s gone. It’s gone but you know what you just witnessed, what you just felt with every bone and blood cell of your being. It’s indescribable but it’s absolutely wonderful. Like the feeling you get driving down the road with the windows down, the trees waving hello and good bye, the sun shining lightly on your face, and this song flowing through your speakers. It’s magical.

    If you’ve caught a glimpse of those times when perfect steps in, you, my friend, are one of the fortunate. But that’s just my opinion on the matter.

    I missed this week’s Music Snack. I dropped the ball. I’m sorry. But if it’s any consolation, I’ve seem to have found myself with quite a many balls up in the air. One of them was bound to drop (or would this be bounce, since I’m technically catching it right now? i don’t know.). Anyways, things have been non-stop since the Thanksgiving Holiday. This year much more than ever. I promise to get you all up to speed just as soon as I can catch my breath and take a minute to revel in all the magic that’s been swirling around my life these past few months. Lots of stuff! Lots of good stuff, but lots of stuff.

    I’ve hardly had a chance to enjoy the Christmas Season as it’s quickly approaching faster and faster. I was reminded to take a break this evening and enjoy the Season as I opened my first stack of Christmas Cards that had been waiting patiently for me in my Post Office Box.  (Just 5 minutes before I was on the verge of calling my Mother to say I give up, I can’t make it, and I’m not coming home for the Holiday.) I’ll admit – I started crying a little, seeing some of my favorite faces in the envelopes, sending me Christmas Cheer and wishes for a Happy New Year. Obviously I’m not getting any Christmas Cards or Crafty Presents out this year, but at least I’m finally drifting into the Spirit of the Season!

    If you’re feeling a little end-of-the-year stressed or lack-of-cheer exhausted or even a what day is this exactly? frame of mind, here’s a little something to put some Holiday pep in your step:

    Straight No Chaser – The 12 Days of Christmas

    I hope you are enjoying your Holiday Season – whatever Holiday you’re celebrating – Cheers!

    *And don’t worry, Momma, I’m still coming home to Tennessee for the Christmas Holiday. (just to save you from sending me a text) ;)
