from a tiny spark

Clea decided that she approves of the new bed.

Things have been a little stressful as of late. I’m not even sure why I’ve been feeling so… annoyed. Irked. Irritated. Work is starting to get to me, I suppose. Thankfully Simon and I will be on vacation June 7th-June17th. June can’t come quickly enough, let me tell you. But, I like my job and I am thankful to have a job. Sometimes I just feel like I need a serious break for a while.

We got our new bed and I’ve been sleeping so much better. It’s amazing what a good bed will do to your sleep cycle. And it’s huge. We decided to go with a king-sized bed, because we are always fighting for space in our queen… and we finally have the room in our bedroom for a large bed. I don’t know how we ever got by in a queen! You can see the new beauty in all her glory here. Clea even approves as you can see from the photo up there. Such a pretty little kitty, she is.

I recently was able to get some new music, since we finally got our internet back. I cannot tell you how happy this makes me. I kind of went a little crazy… But I have found some new addictions that I have been listening to constantly:

• “According To You” - Orianthi
• “Giving Up the Gun” - Vampire Weekend
• “Bad Romance” - Lady Gaga
• “Telephone” - Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce
• “Over You” - Honor Society
• “Night By Night” - Chromeo
• “I Can Transform Ya” - Chris Brown featuring Lil Wayne
• “In My Head” - Jason Derulo
• “Hey, Soul Sister” - Train
• “Carry Out” - Timbaland featuring Justin Timberlake
• “Rude Boy” - Rihanna
• “Soldier of Love” - Sade
• “All the Right Moves” - OneRepublic

Looking back on that list now, it’s kind of a random mix. “Over You” by Honor Society sounds straight out of the 80’s and I am in love with it. “Night By Night” is straight out of the 70’s. They’re just so addicting. I was stuck in traffic yesterday blasting the music with the windows down, singing and dancing in my seat… and I’m pretty sure the girl in front of me was dancing with me…

“My Beautiful Boys” from their last.fm profile

Those beautiful boys up there are my “happy” for the week.  It’s funny, because I’ve always been very fickle with my musical tastes.  I’ll obsess over a band/artist for a little while, but soon they fade and another comes into the spotlight.  I never really end up having the same “favorite” for very long.  These boys, though.  It’s been years, really… and My Chemical Romance still holds my heart.  Their music still gives me goosebumps and chokes me up, and I cannot tell you how they just make me smile.  I was surfing through last.fm tonight and came across this photo of them - which actually looks somewhat recent - and it made my heart melt.  I love them.  Not really in that teenybopper “ohmigod I WANT TO HAVE THEIR BABIES” kind of love.  Just the kind of love that comes from admiring a group for staying true to themselves, being goofy and just really down to earth.  For not being “perfect” and growing.  And not being afraid to show the world who they are.

They’re just fucking awesome.

And with that… I have nothing else to give you.  Shannon sent me a request to sign up for last.fm, and because I’ve been in loved with Pandora lately I thought I would sign up for an account.  So, anyone who has a last.fm account, feel free to add me.  I was all excited when I saw that they actually have a last.fm app on the iPhone.  There’s nothing better than finding awesome and useful applications for your phone.  Ha.

I have one of those really painful bumps on my tongue and it hurts like a bitch, yet I can’t stop playing with it on my teeth.  I think I just like the pain.  And oh my gosh, it’s going on midnight and I’m not even really tired yet.  How is that even remotely possible?  Maybe it was the Thai food Simon and I had for dinner.  I was all proud of myself for going to a completely new restaurant and had a bunch of new food I’ve never tried before.  Talk about stepping out of your comfort zone.  It was actually pretty good, too.  I had to take half of it home with me, though.  I’ll be eating it for the next three days…

I think I need to go lay down and read or something.  I’m never going to want to get up tomorrow.  Thankfully there’s no work.  Tomorrow marks the last Sunday Simon has off from work… ::pouts::  That’s gonna kinda of suck.

Wow, I have gone completely random.  I think that means I need to end this before I do damage.  Now to decide… should I read “Dewey: The Small Library Cat Who Touched The World” or “The Vampire Diaries”?  Thanks to Lis I can now re-read TVD with the re-released version.  She so nicely bought it for me on our “date” the other night.

Ok, seriously.  Doing damage now.  Must leave.
