4 Songs that describe my life

I write a lot about music, but I guess it's a good thing. These challenges like to make you use music in them, and my other blogging group just did a music topic last week. I have quite varied tastes, so expect to see very different stuff posted every time, depending on my mood!

#1 Jason Mraz - Plane:
You see, in case you aren't aware, I am in love with a man who lives almost 1500 miles away from me. So the lyrics in this song make me sad because I feel them. I feel every second of this song. The good and the bad. I won't post the whole song, just a section of the lyrics:
Damn, I should be so lucky
Even only 24 hours under your touch
You know I need you so much
I cannot wait to call you
And tell you that I landed somewhere
And hand you a square of the airport
And walk you through the maze of the map
That I'm gazing at
Gracefully unnamed and feeling guilty for the luck
And the look that you gave me
You make me somebody
Oh nobody knows me
Not even me can see it, yet I bet I'm

I'm leaving your town again
And I'm over the ground that you've been spinning
And I'm up in the air, so baby hell yeah
Oh honey I can see your house from here
If the plane goes down, damn
I'll remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, damn

#2 32 Flavors by Alana Davis:
And yes, I know Ani DiFranco did it first but this was the version I heard first. My first real job was working at an ice cream store, and it was kind of a joke, but I still adore this song and feel like it fits me...

Squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster, I am 32 flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision so you might want to turn your head
'Cause someday you're going to get hungry and eat all of the words that you just said

#3 Independent Women by Destiny's Child:
Hells yeah to the single women who rock their own worlds without any help from any man! Yes, I am in love, but I have what I have and it is my own. I worked for these things, I built my life back up from nothing when I stupidly allowed another man to have control over my life. Never again. The best part about this is, this independence is exactly what he loves about me!
The shoes on my feet
I bought it
The clothes I'm wearing
I bought it
The rock I'm rockin'
I bought it
'Cause I depend on me
If I wanted the watch you're wearin'
I'll buy it
The house I live in
I've bought it
The car I'm driving
I've bought it
I depend on me
(I depend on me)

#4 We're Only Love by Counting Crows: I sometimes forget about this song but it popped up on my Ipod the other day and I realized, even though it sounds a little sad, it fits with our long distance lifestyle...I will live on, I have to every day...One day we will close that distance but until then...

Who built the ball that is this earth?
Gave me life, and water for my thirst.
Home for a heart till death from birth
And we're only love, at it's best or worst.

Love calling your name
I will live on
Calling your name

Who wrote the pages of our lives?
In black and white, and taught me wrong from right
It's your heart that held you tight
But we're only love
Spin me around and round and round

Love calling your name
I will live on
Calling your name

Day 12 - Picture of where you live

Image
Deviating from the list I originally chose again today because it's a pretty boring topic...who really cares how I found out about blogger and why I have one? That should be obvious - cause I wanted to blog. There ya go. Short, boring post right? Instead, I will post up a picture of where I live - or a close reasonable proximity. You want to see my house? Then be my friend on facebook... The place where I feel most at home though is the beach. Miles and miles of ocean surround me and I'm in heaven. As much as I wish I could be someplace else at times, I feel like I need to be around the water. Yes, I burn. Yes, it's hot and sandy and I make a mess in my car on the way home but while I am there, I just don't care. I live in what is technically a city - albeit a really, really small one that is pretty much dying before my eyes. We are super dependent on the space program and our current administration doesn't feel it's a priority so we are losing jobs and our comm...

A picture of my family

Image
I'm from a big family, but my picture is my own immediate world...Me and my son. I've just blogged about my boy, so I won't give a lot of details but I will do a generic discussion about my family. We're a big family. My mom is one of four girls, and I am the oldest of six (through a blended mix). My dad was one of three but it's more extended family on his side because one of his brothers passed away when he was a teenager and the other has never had children. My paternal grandmother was one of 8 and my paternal grandfather was one of 12. I don't know many of the great aunts and uncles, etc. on my maternal side but my maternal grandmother wasn't an only child either, so there are more family members. Two of my aunts have three kids, and one of my aunts has four. I have a ton of extended cousins and whatnot mostly in Kentucky and Indiana. Three of my sisters also have children so I have one niece and three nephews. One of my cousins also has four ki...

30 days of Krista

A few of my friends are doing this blogging project and I feel inspired to start the new year by attempting to get back to writing for fun instead of just writing legal pleadings all the time. If I can keep it up, then I have another outlet for my sadly waning creativity. Plus, being in a long distance relationship leaves lots of nights where I have nothing to do but miss him, and well, this may help distract me on occasion. So for the first topic I am supposed to post a photo of myself and 15 interesting facts about me...Photo of self posted, now onto the so-called interesting facts about yours truly. 1. I hate snow and really cold weather. Ironically, I've just spent a week in New Hampshire with nothing but snow and cold weather...and for the record, the heat is not on if you have it set for 60 degrees... 2. I believe in God, but I don't believe in forcing myself to go to church. I feel like I've seen too many people play the good Christian on Sunday whi...
