I love the java jive and it loves me

Well, as much as I am a coffee drinker, I guess I don't know too much about it. I only got two questions right on this quiz.

Morning Coffe Quiz

Learned a lot though. Maybe you can do better.

Said you'd give me light...

...but you never told me 'bout the fire...

You gotta love Stevie. I've been hearing more and more of her on the radio lately. I've heard Leather and Lace a couple of times and Gypsy a few times. And Rhiannon the other day and now Sara. It's funny...I've been a Stevie nut for about 13 years now, and everytime I hear her it's like I'm a new fan again. I think most Stevie fans can relate :).

God, this day is L O N G! Still 20 minutes to go and I feel like I've been here forever. Usually the day goes by fast, but not today. That's why I actually have some time to type this now. And I am so sick of this job. People here are so uptight. I had to file some invoices and the phone was ringing. Well, if I answer the phone in the filing room, I can only answer one line at a time. If someone else calls while I'm on the phone, the main phone rings and people get pissed. I'm like, someone could help me out here! This one lady goes "answering the phone is more important than filing." I told her I didn't want the invoices to pile up. And she had the nerve to say I could come in on Saturday and do it. I said "no, I don't do that." Whatever! And I'm on salary too, so I probably wouldn't get paid overtime anyway. It really pissed me off because she's just a salesperson. She's not my manager. My thought is, if the phones are this busy, they need someone else to do stuff like copying, filing and mail postage. I barely get a brake to pee!

At least it's Friday. Ros is finished with lessons at 7 so we'll probably go eat somewhere. Then maybe watch a movie. Rhonda has the kids this weekend. Oh joy.

I still drive...dead or alive...

Yes it was only a matter of time right? LOL I added a video of Chris singing "Wanted Dead or Alive". This is really cool because it was the early part of American Idol, before they had narrowed it down to the top 10. They would do one night the girls, the next night the guys or vice verse. Seeing that all three judges were praising him at this point, saying that he had potential and a great recording voice, really says a lot about Chris. I remember liking him from the beginning, but I think it was this performance that made me a fan. I remember telling Ros (because he was teaching and had to watch the tape I recorded when he was done) something like "that rock guy sang Bon Jovi!"

Oh and let's not forget that gorgeous smile at the end....*sigh*.

Open up the book you beat me with again...

...read it off one sentence at a time.
That's the first line of the Daughtry song "Breakdown". Isn't that a cool line? I have been listening to this cd over and over in the car. I can't seem to take it out. The other morning I listened to a Lindsay Lohan cd and a little bit of Foo Fighters and yesterday morning I listened to an Allison Moorer cd, but then I would always put the Daughtry cd back in. I put it in yesterday morning after the Allison cd was over and it's stayed in there since. I haven't wanted to listen to anything else. It just repeats and I never get tired of it.

Ooh, do you ever get a nipple itch at work? LOL My left nipple has been itching all day. So annoying, especially since I can't scratch it. My skin must be dry.

TGIF!!! This week has been LONG. Even though I missed a day on Tuesday. Corinn was still very sick so I had to take her to the doctor. She ended up having an ear infection in her left ear and a mild cause of bronchitis. Since we didn't have insurance, her doctor was very nice and gave us a ten day supply of antibiotics and she had as samples. That was a relief for us and our bank account.

I think my dad was coming to town this week but I haven't heard from him yet. He'll probably call tonight or tomorrow. He probably figures we couldn't have gotten together during the week anyway. He hasn't seen our house yet and we've been living in it for a year already. I'm anxious for him to see it, especially the studio. I just wish Rhonda wasn't living with us. Otherwise they could probably stay the night in the guest room.

Dang, it's not even 2:00 yet. This day is s l o w. . .

It's Not Over

Ok I just have to say, I'm so glad I bought this CD:

It is very good! I loved Chris Daughtry on American Idol last season. He was my favorite and I was very upset when he got knocked off. So much so that I cried. He is very talented and I knew he would make it regardless if he won or not. It was just sad to see my favorite go. Anyway, I'm not sure if it's because I don't really keep up with current music or TV, or if it's just because Houston radio sucks and never plays any American Idol people (sans Kelly Clarkson of course). But I had no idea Chris was coming out with a CD. I decided to grab it last night when I was at Target and boy, I'm glad I did. He rocks!! I sound cheesy like a teenybopper, but that's kind of how he makes me feel LOL. The first song, "It's Not Over" is totally something I could hear on the radio. I read reviews on Amazon and a lot people compared this CD to Nickelback. I've never been a Nickelback fan, but I may how to give them more of a try now LOL. Honestly, I just think the songs are really good. He wrote or co-wrote almost all of them. My favorites are "Used To" and "Over You". A few others I like a lot are "It's No Over", "Home", "What I Want" which features Slash on lead guitar (awesome!), "There And Back Again" which reminds me of a faster version of the Warrant song "AYM", and "All These Lives". The rest of the songs are good, but not quite as memorable. Definitely not bad songs though. Ros hasn't listened to it yet and I'm curious to see what he says.

Just about time to go. I'm getting sick of this place. The boss is a jerk and other people tend to be a little too uptight. I'm continuing to look, but I'm not leaving til I have something else.

My poor little girl has been sick all week. I hope she gets better soon. And Ros started feeling sick yesterday. I don't wanna get it, I can't afford to.
