Song Lyric Sunday

If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls,
Always know that I will find a way, to get to where you are,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MUFFIN

Every Breath You Take

Yes I know it was easy. I actually got the idea to use it when I was watching Nashville Star last Monday night and one of the contestants did a pretty decent version of it. Speaking of Nashville Star, last nights episode had to be one of the worst episodes of reality music television evah!!! But I digress. Hearing "Every Breath You Take" reminded me that when the song was a hit, back in the 80's I always thought Sting was singing "I'm a pool hall ace" and not "How my poor heart aches." Go ahead and laugh, we all have songs we're the lyrics sound like something completely nonsensical. You know you do. Feel free to leave comments with some of your own :D

Song Lyric Sunday

Oh, can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Hey Y'all

First of all, if you're reading this and you are the one who sent Muffin and I a copy of The Shack. Thank You!! Muffin is reading it right now and I'll grab it when she's done.

The next Song Lyric Sunday contest will begin on Sunday July 7 and we actually have a sponsor and prize package and it will be like a real contest!!! It'll run for 8 weeks and the rules will be the same as the last one. Which means you'll be on your honor for not googling the lyrics!

We'll be doing a new contest starting in July, and the cool part is it looks like I actually have a sponsor lined up. I'll give more details later. Here's this weeks lyric

He said, “I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone

SLS Winners

Ok, I honestly thought that there was maybe one regular reader of my blog that would get yesterdays lyric. Well to my surprise, 2 people got it and neither was who I suspected. Kate and Dana are both right, Through The Fire was originally recorded by The Crabb Family and Randy Travis covered it on his album Glory Train, with The Crabb Family helping out on vocals. Congrats to Kate and Dana!!!

First of all Congrats to Angie for getting the last SLS right. She guessed Heaven In The Real World by Steven Curtis Chapman. She got a little help from JC but what the heck!


Here's this weeks:

he never promised that the cross would not get heavy
and the hill would not be hard to climb
he never offered our victories without fighting
but he said help would always come in time

Oh and a quick prayer request for my buddy Aslan, he goes in for surgery tomorrow to fix a hernia and be neutered. It's actually pretty simple surgery but since he has a leaky heart valve, any surgery is risky. The vet doing the surgery specializes in dogs with his heart condition, so that much is a relief. Just pray that things go quickly and that this will be the last surgery he ever has to have.

O, Canada

So not 10 minutes after I blogged yesterday, we finished loading up the car and when I went to start it, nothing, just clicking. Seems some idiot (me) had left the dome light on after he got done setting up the GPS the night before. I pulled our other car alongside and tried to jump start, but nothing, still just clicking. I was convinced it was the starter and so I proceeded to do what all mature, grown men do it that situation. I threw a tantrum :D. I called my good friends at Ameritech Tire and Auto and they said if I could get the battery up there they would test it and see if it was the battery or something else. I grabbed some tools and before I got started Ameritech called back and said the owner, Newman, was headed down with a HotShot to try to give the battery a boost. Well he got there, the hotshot worked and after a quick stop at AutoZone for a new battery, we were on our way.

By the way, if you're looking for quality work from good people, take your car to Ameritech. I really can't say enough about them.

I really have to thank Randy for letting us use his GPS. It kept us off the major interstates for the most part, we got to see some beautiful scenery driving through PA and NY and we avoided most of the tolls we would have paid if we had used the directions I printed from the internet.

Our room, is well awesome, we have had top notch service since we pulled in. Valet parking, the bell hop turned us on to some local restaurants and the internet techs were here within 5 minutes when I called about not being able to connect. The view is not the ideal one of the Falls but just being able to see them from our room is awesome. The pic below was taken from our room window.

I haven't been to Canada since the mid-90's and things are way more pricey then they were on my last visit. An example would be the two 1 litre bottles of Aquafina water sitting on the desk here that have a tag which says "Make Your Body Happy $9.95 + tax." I'm sure there's some fine print that says "And piss your wallet off." I just haven't found it yet.

That's it for now, I'll post more pics in another post.

Road Trip!!!

So in just a few minutes, Muffin and I will be headed to Canada for the weekend. Our very good friend Mamen hooked us up with 2 nights in Niagara Falls and we have been excitedly looking forward to it for the past 2 weeks. It has been a long time since we've had the chance to get away by ourselves and with the craziness of the past several months it is much needed. So the GPS is ready, we have a full compliment of MP3's and I am ready for a good ole fashioned road trip with the most beautiful woman in the world!!!
