So-So

Ok, so, I normally don’t blog about lyrics or post a song on my blog, but this song by Brooke Waggoner is just too cute. So if you like Feist or Ingrid Michaelson or Regine Spektor, you’ll probably like Brooke 🙂 The lyrics are so cute too. I haven’t heard/read lyrics like that in … um.. a long time? ever?

I bought an old home in Del Rio
The status quo stucco looked like the Alamo
Neighbor Jethro brought by his fresco
Lo and behold he showed where good neighbors abode

(He) offered tobacco to which I vetoed
I said I only smoke alone separate and solo
He wanted to know how I liked Del Rio
And if the lack of snow had made it all perfecto

And I replied
Oh, why here it’s so-so
but it is no, no Colorado
I miss my home and the cocoa
I wanna go home…

He helped me unload my piano
And then I played him oh a favorite concerto
He yelled profundo while I played allegro
And then he tip-tap-toed through my accelerandos

Gave him a banjo and said strum what you know
Then I pretended I was Dinos my old maestro
He kept in tempo and I said bravo
He picked the dearest notes that gave me thoughts of sweet hope

Oh….
Oh, why here it’s so-so
but it is no, no Colorado
I miss my home and the cocoa
I wanna go home…

After the song show I offered jam & toast
He said he’d forego and he left to tend his young goats
So I unpacked soap, found my bathrobe
And decided it’d be nice to sit and soak

On the backbone of the commode
I placed a family photo then let out a sad moan
Then a new groan of hunger followed,
And I bought two tacos and an H20 to go

Yeah there is no place no, no place quite like your home
Oh there’s no place no, no place quite like your home

Chorus.

It’s a very sweet song and I’m glad I found another female artist which makes great music.

After looking at Regine’s Blog I was inspired to create a blog entry similar to hers. I even joined Polyvore.com – neat site.
The Lover and I are going to move together in March, and I L O V E to browse interior design sites and get inspired. Following articles are from impressionen.de

Now, the shoes have nothing to do with interior design or accessories, but they’re cute ♥. What kind of sites do you like to browse?

Oh October

This post is nothing but a rant. I don’t want pity or anything, I just need to rant… Well, and there’s a question at the end, you can just skip my rant 😉

Although it’s the “Golden October” here in Germany, it’s been not so golden for me.

The end of September my mole got removed. Three weeks I couldn’t wash my face decent, three weeks I had to wear a band-aid over the wound, three weeks I couldn’t shower (I took baths). So, three weeks I had limitations which got annoying after a while.

On October 9th I got sick. Nothing bad, just a cold which kept me in bed until Sunday. I felt like sh**, drank tea and water all day long, had a sore throat, a bad headache, my boobs hurt like crazy ((don’t ask me why))… I canceled the seminar I should have visited Monday ((the 13th)) to Wednesday about Apache Tomcat, I wished I could have taken part in it.

On Thursday, October 16th, halfway healthy again, I got my wisdom teeth removed. Luckily, only on one side. I felt like sh** Thursday to Saturday. I could only eat mash, although, I was so hungry all the time ((I have a quite big stomach 🙂 )) that I ate “normal” food as well.

On Sunday, October 19th, my sisters, my nephew, my mom and I had a great day. We ate brunch together and took a walk. Three days later, on Wednesday, my mom was hospitalized due to heavy diarrhea and an allergic attack. She got the wrong antibiotics and got an acute poisoning. I was so worried and felt like sh** again, Wednesday to Friday. I hardly ate (and lost four pounds 🙂 ), cried a lot and felt horrible. My family is the most important thing in life to me and if one of the family members gets sick, I’m terrible worried. Luckily everything went well with my mom, she got about 20 infusions, all the tests the hospital made turned out great and we hope she can get released tomorrow.

On Friday, October 24th, the stitches in my mouth got removed and the “band” the dentist put in my hole, where my bottom wisdom tooth once was, got removed. It felt so yucky! Since Friday my throat hurts again and the wounds in my mouth still hurt a little as well. I’m guessing the sore throat this time is from the wounds in my mouth.

Bah! Oh, and I got my period too and had PMS and a terrible headache last week as well. I’m happy everything is sort of over now and hope to start a great November.

Ah ok, end of all my “problems”, now, I need your opinion. Some of my family members are flying to the States and I begged for a new “Bed in a Bag”. My mom finally said yes (note: the reason she wasn’t so happy about it is that it takes up a whole lot of space in the suitcase) and now I can’t really decide which one I want. What do you think?

After reading that Linens’n Things is closing, I surfed to their site and found all kind of pretty bedding things and soooo cheap. I can even afford it 😀 It’s great. I’m in love with this one, but I’m pretty sure the Lover wouldn’t be too happy about it. *sigh*
