Happy happy happy girl!

*sings*

I used to live in a darkened room

Had a face of stone, and a heart of gloom

Lost my hope I was so far gone

Crying all my tears with the curtains drawn

I didn't know until my soul broke free

I've got these angels watching over me and

Oh, oh watch me go,

I'm a happy girl

Everybody knows

That the sweetest thing that you'll ever see

In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl

I used to hide in a party crowd

Bottled up inside, feeling so left out

Standing in the corner wearing concrete shoes

With my frozen smile, and my lighted fuze

Now every time I start to feel like that

I role my heart out like a welcome mat and

Oh, oh watch me go

I'm a happy girl

Everybody knows

That the sweetest thing that you'll ever see

In the whole wide world

Is a happy girl

Laugh when I feel like it

Cry when I feel like it

That's just how my life is

That's how it goes

Oh, oh watch me go,

I'm a happy girl

And I've come to know

That the world won't change

Just 'cause I complain

Let the axis twirl

I'm a happy girl

Oh, oh watch me go

I'm a happy girl

Everybody knows

That the sweetest thing

That you'll ever see

In the whole wide world

Is a happy girl

Ooh-ooo-whoah-whoah yeah,

Ooh-ooo-whoah-whoah yeeeah,

I'm a happy girl.

Guess what everybody?! I got to bed at 9:45PM last night! Woohoo! And slept in until 8:25AM. I AM JUST ABOUT BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS! I got to SLEEP last night! And I got a tasty gingerbread latte this morning to top it all off! *twirls* Woohoo! I am so excited!

Oh yeah! And to top all that off, I don't have to be at work until 5PM this afternoon, so I get to finish so much! At least, that's the goal. First, finish Christmas cards. Second, finish wrapping and bagging presents. And somewhere along the lines just take a break and bask in the presence of the Lord. Wow, I've hardly gotten a chance to do that in a while!

Of course he's my boyfriend...

He doesn't like pie except for apple pie with a scoop of ice cream on top.
He doesn't like cheesecake, tomatoes, wine, beer, sapphires, coffee, or things that are more than mildly spicy.
He can't drive stick. Yet.
He would tell his son he's never to use such-and-such a swear word ever again, and then turn around and brag about it to his friends, "Guess what my boy said today?"
He'd have been thrilled if I'd gotten a speeding ticket or two on the way to Pittsburg.
It would've taken us an hour less to get to Pittsburg if he had been driving.
He gets excited watching other people get pulled over.
He wants to go to jail just for the experience.
And he says I'm every guy's dream girl because I like driving, and drove the whole way. There and back.

*sighs and refrains from smirking* Of course he's my boyfriend. Of course...

If he's gonna do it, he's gonna do it all out.
He's in love with diamonds.
If he's done it once, he usually doesn't want to do it again.
He's always setting goals. And achieving them.
He's an amazing business man.
He's crazy creative -- I taught him a couple dance moves and he started making up dance routines and we ended up having a rather large audience standing around and grinning as we twirled on the dance floor.
He's opening his own Vocelli's. In a few months.
He's got a solid, child-like faith.
He knows things will work out. So he doesn't worry.
He calls me beautiful.
He says no matter what, if I need it, he'll hold me until I'm all better.
He says he's blessed to have me.
Songs are better spoken.....from him.
He sings better if I don't watch him while he does.
He still calls his parents "mommy" and "daddy"
He hasn't grown out of being adorable -- just watch him when he's excited...or singing and notices that I'm watching him.

*laughs* Of course he's my boyfriend....of course.

With a Boy

He didn't even ask and she said "no"
Why? He asked himself, to this day he still doesn't know

Was he not worth it?
Was that why the ocean spit him out.

Days when by
And his butterflies he couldn't describe
He guessed they were easy to hide

He tried to focus,
But all he could think about,
Was how she made him feel.

He took a chance and asked her out
She still said "no"
His doubt crept back in and questions filled his mind

From there, things went on normal for them
But his feelings still to this day are the same
If you ask where this girl is today
She's with a boy
A boy who wouldn't let his fears take him hostage
A boy who is me.
