The trials and tribulations of a young blood attorney.
"You know what? Yeah, maybe 99 out of 100 people will disappoint you. But I don't know....I think you find the magic of the world in the margin of error." --Hart of Dixie
Dave Barnes. Has been flying under my radar. But my man is back!
I found this single last week on iTunes and I was EXTREMELY upset with myself that I was not aware of it. But, GREAT news. He has a new album coming out March 13th!!!! Yeeeee haw!!!!! I love me some Dave Barnes. He is what I like to call one of "my boys." Also on that list would be Matt Wertz, Jason Reeves, Corey Crowder.....you get the point. Anywho, today's song is called "White Flag." It's super catchy and upbeat and I just like the lyrics! How wonderful. Mmkay.
So.....Today is Tuesday! And I got sick of calling it Tuesday Tunes Day so today it's called Perfect Kiss. Because everyone wants one. Right?
On a more serious note, today's song is "Perfect Kiss" by Marie Hines and I gotta tell ya....I have just been eatin'. this. up. I love love LOVE it! Super cute. Super fun. And super good. So you'll super like it. Unless you don't. In which case.....I don't care.
I made this awesome playlist last week (it could very well be one of my best EVER) and since I love it so much, I'm going to give you THREE songs today! Yes. I said three. I'm the kind of person that really appreciates acoustic music and someone who can just sing their heart out without all the bells and whistles. So I have three wonderful women today that are all a little different, but they sure do sound perdy :)
I hope you likey! (:

(P.S. You'll have to pardon the lovey dovey-ness of these songs as well. I'd say sorry but I'm really not.)
Perfect Kiss--Marie Hines
Sweet Spot--Tift Merrit
(I actually found this on iTunes last week and then when I went to catch up on Hart of Dixie from the CW, it was on last week's episode! How fantastic!)
It's TUESDAY! And it's also Valentine's Day! What? Ew.
In honor of this ridiculously sappy holiday (HyVee has been bursting with red velvet cupcakes for weeks! Trust me--I would know.) I think it's only appropriate to pick a similarly sappy song for today. SO! From one of my guilty pleasures, The Twilight Series (click out of here now if you're "above" this because I can assure you my friend, I, am above YOU--BOOM!), today's song is "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. I know the entire world has already heard this song, but I just saw the music video last night and loveddddddd it. I'm a sucker for candles.
P.S. If anyone is as big of a Twilight freak as me, you'll recognize the house Christina is singing in as the one from the movie. Justtttttt sayin.'
P.P.S. I think the actual wedding in this movie is GORGEOUS.
P.P.P.S. (Can you do that?) Yes. I cried. Get over it.
Anywho....without further delay, here is this week's video! I hope you all have a wonderfully romantic sappy rose and chocolate filled holiday with that someone special! (Or maybe just your couch.)
"You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip."
Last week was an interesting one to say the least (probably more along the lines of humbling). So this week's post will be just as interesting. Or not.
Nathan Angelo---Love him. First heard him on One Tree Hill back in the day. Good news: He's still just as awesome. This week's song is "Born to Love You." Pretty sure I don't need to explain it. I posted the video of the acoustic version because I think it's more romantic (both versions are available on iTunes for those of you wondering.)
Oh. And to go along with this wonderfully sappy song of mine, I also found a quote that pretty much sums up my life at this current hour. It's a good one. Feel free to use and abuse it :)
Enjoy my friends!

"Our
journey as human beings is not about following a pre-ordained path, but about
creating that path. Life rarely makes any more sense when things are done 'in
order.' Life makes sense when we are centered in our hearts and we let go of
resisting how our unique journey needs to unfold in its own beautifully unruly
way."
"Born To Love You" by Nathan Angelo
Lyrics:
Some people walk around forever Don't even know why they came I've been the fool now I know better But it all made sense When I saw your face
I was born to love you The one thing I just can't live without Born to satisfy your needs I'm alive to hold you The only man that you ever dreamed about Might take forever for you to see I was born to love you baby, whoa I was born to love you baby, whoa
I can put the pen down to the paper And some melodies put down to tape I'll get it right sooner or later 'Cause I hear the perfect song Every time I see your face
I was born to love you The one thing I just can't live without Born to satisfy your needs I'm alive to hold you The only man that you ever dreamed about Might take forever for you to see I was born to love you baby, whoa
I've been searching most of my life to find
Just why I'm breathing
I never thought that I would see
But you found me right in the nick of time
And now my life's worth living
I saw your face now I believe
I was born to love you The one thing I just can't live without Born to satisfy your needs, yeah I'm alive to hold you The only man that you ever dreamed about Might take forever for you to see I was born to love you baby, whoa I was born to love you baby, whoa
And I quote: "This is going to be the body beating drinking party of the century." You heard it my friends. $hit's 'bout to get crazy.
What is the Warrior Dash you might ask? Well....according to the website it's 3.3 hellish miles with 12 different obstacles along the way. Obstacles? Pshhh. I know what you're thinking. But let's get serious here. Obstable #1.....barricades and barbed wire. Obstacle #2......fire. Ummm??? Yes. You do have to sign a waiver. (I could see it in your eyes).
After finding out about this crazy day of shannigans, I immediately rallied the troops. What we came up with was 6 crazy S.O.B.s all looking to kick some a$$ and have a good time. And a good time my friends.....is exactly what we shall have. If you're looking for us on June 9, you can find us under our team name: the Blonde Bombshells. The three that aren't blonde are the bombs. The other three are...well....you know.
