I Am The Dreamer ,You Are The Dream

This is the #1 song that makes me think of The Cow Catcher.  I Love You Sweetheart!

I Am The Dreamer, You Are The Dream
- Conway Twitty

A kiss in the dark, a touch of your hand
My arms are around you, my dream begins
The only thing that's different than any other night
Here we are together, my dream by my side.

I am the dreamer, you are the dream
You are the answer to my fantasy
All that I have dreamed of now is complete
I am the dreamer, you are the dream.

I know now that I've been dreamin'
I finally saw the light
With my arms wide open
I found the love that's right.

You don't have to wake me
for me to know it's real
The love that I have dreamed of
I can touch and feel.

I am the dreamer, you are the dream
You are the answer to my fantasy
All that I have dreamed of, now is complete
I am the dreamer, you are the dream.

2009 VDay

Fred is absolutely awesome in so many ways. 2009 was our first Valentine's Day together & of course I wasn't sure what to expect he would or wouldn't do. I got him a card & a gift card for a book store over by the mall he hadn't been to yet (because he loves to read). I got home kind of early & waited for him to arrive... and waited... and waited... and finally ended up falling asleep waiting. When he came in I was totally passed out & had "I just woke up hair" too, it was cute. He was carrying a Wal-Mart sack in hand & I could tell there was a red card inside, so I knew that he had at least gotten me a card but I couldn't quite make out what the box was in the sack.

After the exchange of a few words - he asked me if I wanted my Valentine's gift instead of waiting til tomorrow. I told him it was whatever he wanted, so he pulled a brand new camera & card out of the Wal-Mart bag & handed it to me. WOW I was totally shocked & so excited all at the same time. I was speachless. I could hardly wait to open the new camera, omg. It's awesome & get this... it's orange!! Even better!! I loved it, absolutely loved it & I still love it to this day!  Talk about a perfect gift!  I honestly wasn't expecting a gift like that for Valentine's day.

I had been wanting a new digital camera for awhile just because the one I had was kinda bulky & I wanted something a little smaller & slimmer to fit in my purse without taking up a ton of room.  This camera was absolutely perfect & it was small & slim just like I wanted & the bonus part was that it's orange!  Does this man know me or what!

He definitely went above & beyond what I was expecting for our first Valentine's day last year, he's such a sweetheart.

Since tomorrow is Valentine's day I thought I would do a little reminiscing from last year.

Love The World Away

Another song dedicated to my sweetheart The Cow Catcher... a song that makes me think of you.
I love you sweetheart

Love The World Away
- Kenny Rogers

Every now and then, When the world steps in
Stealing all our time away
It soon takes so much, We forget to touch
That's when I know, It's time for me to say
Take my hand, Let's walk through love's door
And be free from the world once more
Here's my heart, We can hide today
And love the world away

Once again we'll be, Where our hearts are free
And the time is ours to share
Love will always stay, Just a touch away
Come with me, All the magic's waiting there
Take my hand, Let's walk through love's door
And be free from the world once more
Here's my heart, We can hide today
And love the world away

We can love the world away

Couples Retreat

When I first saw the commercials for this movie coming out in Theatre's, I was dying to go see it.  We didn't get to make it to the Theatre to see it, but it came out on dvd on Tuesday, woohoo!  We went Tuesday night to the local mom-n-pop rental place but all 10 copies they had were already rented out, go figure.

Fred left yesterday for western Oklahoma, so I thought I would attempt to rent it before he returned that way we could watch it when he comes home on Friday.

Yeah... so after work I ran some errands & then stopped off at Blockbuster Video in town to rent Couples Retreat.  Of course they had like a million copies in stock.

After dealing with the cute little blonde girl at the counter that was obviously still in training, I was very patient because I was just excited to be able to rent the movie... I leave the store & head towards home.

I arrive home only to notice the cute little blonde girl had forgotten to remove the safety feature from the dvd.  Grrrrrr

At first I wanted to scream, but I didn't.  I didn't really want to drive back into town today to Blockbuster, but I have to go into town anyways this evening for a rodeo meeting so I guess it all works out ok.

I can't wait to watch the movie though, it looks so funny on the previews!

Walk Through This World With Me

Dedicated to my sweetheart The Cow Catcher... a song that makes me think of you.

Walk Through This World With Me
- George Jones

Walk through this world with me, Go where I go
Share all my my dreams with me, I need you so
In life we search and some of us find
I've looked for you a long, long time
And now that I've found you, New horizons I see
Come take my hand, and walk through this world with me

Walk through this world with me, Go where I go
Share all my dreams with me, I searched for you so
And now that I've found you, New horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me

Come take my hand and walk through this world with me

Wednesday before VDay

It's hard to believe it's already February & Valentine's Day is almost here.  This year is already starting to fly by fast.

I'm not really a huge Valentine's day go-all-out freak or anything.  I know it's a day to celebrate your love & be all mushy with your honey.  But to me it's another holiday that everyone in town jacks up their prices & there's at least a 1-2 hour wait at every restaurant in town, which is always irritating.  I'm not a buy-me-flowers type of chick either.  First of all, I'm allergic to flowers so that's totally out of the question.  Balloons are cute & all, but why waste your money on something that will be gone less than 24 hours later.

Wait... maybe this is coming across all wrong.  Let me explain.
I like surprises, but I'm a simple person, I like simple little surprises.  Little things make me happy.

I like getting a sweet card for no reason what-so-ever except just to say I love you.
Finding a cute note around the house left somewhere for me to find.
Surprising me by showing up to sweep me away for a lunch date.
Making me blueberry muffins for breakfast on Saturday/Sunday morning.
Reading to me while we're laying in bed before we fall asleep (this is very sexy, wink wink)
A quick text that says I love you during the day just because.

I think everyone gets the point... simple things.
Don't get me wrong, other things are nice too... but to me bought things mean more if they are something that's needed or wanted & not something that can wilt away in a matter of hours.  This is just my personal opinion, others may not agree & that's totally fine.

I like buying things for people that they need or want really badly but can't purchase on their own.  Not that I've been able to buy anything nice for anyone in a long long time now, but I know eventually I will get back to that point in my life again where I'm able to do so.

So being my simple-self that I am... I have a plan for Valentine's Day this year.  I wish I had money to sweep my honey off for a weekend get-a-way but realistically there's no way I can afford to do that, so I have to put on my creative thinking cap instead.

I've decided that I'm going to write down lyrics of songs that makes me think of my sweetheart & post them everyday from now until Valentine's Day, which is only 4 days away.

This is not my only plan... but I can't really write my plan publically & risk my sweetheart reading my blog & then my surprise wouldn't exactly be a surprise anymore now would it?

Happy early Valentine's day everyone... 4 days & counting down :-)

ceiling leak

Week of January 31st - February 5th.

My office ceiling has a few quirks to say the least.  After the rain & snow & everything melting... a few spots appeared on my ceiling tiles.  First it was a small stain... then day by day it kept growing & then BAM it was a total disaster.  It started leaking thru the ceiling tiles & onto my floor... YUCK!  It smelled & was just simply nasty to put it lightly.

So the a/c slash roof fixing people came & quote & quote fixed the leaks in the roof, replaced the tiles in every office that had stains/leaks peaking thru, etc.  Then we were off work Thursday/Friday (January 28th & 29th) because of the crappy icy roads.  Then Monday, first day back to work since last Wednesday & when I walked into my office, low & behold the stains were back again.  So it's just a guess, but I don't think the a/c slash roof fixing people were successful week.  Call me crazy but it's just a hunch I've got.

Monday, February 8th... I walk into my office & here's what my ceiling looks like.  The ceiling tile had fallen down, water poured out onto the floor & onto the carpet.  The smell was total YUCK to say the least & there was cold air blowing down thru the hole as well.  I think to myself... WONDERFUL!  This is a fabulous way to start a Monday morning if I do say so myself.  (insert evil laugh here)

The a/c slash roof fixing people have been contacted & informed of the minor disaster, but today is Tuesday & I haven't seen one a/c slash roof fixing person show up at all.  Not quite sure what the deal is with that.

All I know is that it's freezing in my office & I've managed to obtain an electric heater for the time being in attempt to not freeze to death while trying to get some work accomplished.  If you look directly up thru the hole you can see the the rooftop... great huh!  The insulation & ceiling tile both colapsed.

So that's how my week started off... F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S-!
No really, I couldn't help but laugh when I walked in yesterday & saw the disaster.

Apparently the a/c slash roof fixing people have more work to do now.  LOL!
