I Asked For A Sign...

And then I heard this song.

 

By Your Side - Tenth Avenue North

Why are you striving these days?
Why are you trying to earn grace?
Why are you crying?
Let me lift up your face, just don't turn away

Why are you looking for love?
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough?
To where will you go child?
Tell me where will you run, to where will you run?

'Cos I'll be by your side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Look at these hands at my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in and give you life
I wanna give you life

And I'll be by your side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Here at my side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

'Cause I, I love you, I want you to know
That I, yeah I love you, I'll never let you go
No, no

And I'll be by your side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Here at my side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Here at my side
My hands are holding you

Here's the video so you can enjoy:

Have a good day all!

A little Something I've Noticed Lately...

I often find that I adopt the way other people talk; accents, lingo, etc. It's not something I do purposefully or because I want to be this other person. It just happens. You could say I'm sort of a chameleon in that regard. It's really the weirdest thing. For instance, when my cousin Craig comes up from Tennessee, I find myself going home with a little twang in my voice. When I watch Jenna Marbles videos for a long time, I get that high pitched tone she uses at the end. I have to stop and remember that's not really how I talk. 

I've been looking at some of my texts, blog posts and just little random notes that I write myself sometimes & I noticed something in them. I've noticed that I am starting to use lingo from Lauren Brimley's blog (found at busybeelauren.com) If you hang out with me, you know I'm not much of a swearer. It just really isn't me. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I just get mad and let it fly, but it's not an all the time deal. What made it all come to my mind was yesterday, while driving, someone made me mad and I said (to myself, haha) that they needed to be salmon slapped. Only person I've ever heard say that, BBL. I've also adopted awesomespice & lamespice, bomb-diggity-bomb-dot-com, Obiv, and I notice I am saying stuffs legit a lot more. 


Adopting Lauren's lingo is actually a good thing for me, because it gives me alternatives for swears, which I love! If I could live the rest of my life without another swear, I'd be perfectly happy! I just think there are better choices of words you can use. 


This is Lauren & her awesome husband Ted. (Go read her blog, you'll soon understand his awesomeness.) I hope she doesn't mind I borrowed the pic, but for real, how can I tell you about her and NOT show you who she is??? I. Can't!

She's to legit to quit, so seriously go read her blog. She brings the funny & she's prego, so we get to share that with her. She's so cool, you'd think she was your real life friend. I know I do! haha So congrats to Lauren & Ted. Thanks for the good swear alternatives! Now do me a solid & check out her blog. :)
