Its a Purple Kind of Day

Ya know its going to be a good day when you wake up the sun is shining and its Game Day... well except that some creepy man parked behind my backyard last night and I had to call the cops to come check it out and was up til 2am  because I was rather freaked out.... Did I mention that I was then up at 5:30 am to workout because its umm Game Day and there will be game watching this evening. People have asked me if I am torn as to whom to root for... I get that I attended law school at this other institution that we will play this evening, but people, I bleed purple! And since its Thursday and a Go Purple one at that here is a lil throwback fun of my twirling days at TCU.

my last game ever to twirl at was a basketball  game, and that is the illustrious V, coach & just wonderful woman

This was 2003 SMU/TCU game and that was the BF at the time

But, back to my regularly scheduled post. I saw this wonderful lil ditty over on Helene's site and it just stuck with me. If you know me well, you know that I am a writer, but that I also love to write poetry and song. I use music to express so much of my life and feelings. I have often shared some songs with you all that epitomize my life at the moment. So, here are the songs that define me:







Uptown Girl - no joke my second grade boyfriend Lee Davis made a mixed tape with this on it for me on Valentine's Day (he totally sang on it too) and it has kinda been a mantra for me. I did not come from anything so it always surprises me when people think I am so "uptown" but I suppose its as much an attitude than anything. Act classy, be classy. But I have always been drawn to the hardworking guy, perhaps its because I have always worked hard for me stuff.


Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - I mean come on, how does this just not get you in a good mood.


Holy Water - If ever a song defined my life and struggles and journey, its this. I come to this song when I am lost and alone and need Him to pick me back up. This song reaches so many levels of my life.



Listen - This song got me through my divorce. If I could sing it to M I would everyday. It just puts me in a good mood now. It just defines how I was at the end of my marriage and now coming into my own. I often feel like its me singing this. Strange. I used to get so mad at M when I heard this song and wished he would have just listened to me for so long. Now I can see that I needed to listen to myself.


Ready to Love Again - I shared this one not too long ago, but it defines where I am today. Though I still have some pain and hurt and I always will I know that I am ready to open my heart again and let someone else in. Sure, I will always love M, its inevitable, but I know that God has placed people in my life to show me that I deserve to be loved and to love someone unconditionally.
