Twin Cities/Taylor Swift Trip!

Okay,
I'm having some serious issues with my photo album from this trip.
I can't upload the pics on facebook. And apparently, I can't upload them now on Blogger.
Today is just NOT my day.

So I'll just tell you about the trip and then try posting some pictures later.

So the first night we got there, we went to the Rainforest Cafe which was obviously delicious and SO cool. John and Jill had never been there before so they were so excited about it. The food was SO good from there, too.
And then we went to Sea Life which is in the Mall of America. At first we though it wasn't really worth 20 dollars but then we got into the big overhead tube aquarium with the massive sharks and sea turtles and it was so awesome! So naturally, we changed our minds about it being worth our money. I was like a little kid in a candy store...or on Christmas morning.

The next day we shopped till we dropped! I spent WAY too much money. And then that evening was Taylor Swift. I was SO excited for this concert, it wasn't even funny. I got so anxious and couldn't even enjoy the opening bands. Before she came on stage, everything was hidden behind a big curtain and she started talking to us and I just got so excited I started to cry. Yes, tease away. I'm embarrasing. It's fine.

T. Swift was so amazing, though. Like, she blew my mind and was just oh so beautiful! So much power and passion in all of her songs. I just love her.

The next day we did MORE shopping (oh, goodness.) and then did Nickelodeon Universe in the mall. It was so much fun, but I can't really do spinny rides so John and Jill bonded lots by going on some pretty crazy rides together. Although, I did go on a really nutty roller coaster where you go up on a 90 degree angle and then go down a really steep drop. It was hilarious and OH SO scary.

And then on our final day, we got lost in the Twin Cities and pretty much did a whole tour of that whole area and ended up in like 4 different places that we shouldn't have been in, all because I accidentally told John to turn on the wrong ramp. We ended up figuring it out (after lots of stress, you can imagine.) but then John was going the wrong way (towards Illinois) so we had to turn around. We got caught in terrible construction too. We didn't get home til midnight and we hit the road at about 1 in the afternoon. So embarrasing.

But that was my trip. Hopefully the pictures will work soon so I can post some.

Weekly Gratitude: June 10th.

The past couple of weeks have been really rough for me and have been quite the emotional rollercoaster.

Let's just take a look at the things that made me smile this week:

• Delicious pizza that I always turned my nose up at before. I just discovered last night it was amazing. Gino's PIZZA. Try it now.
• Watching the second Harry Potter and being mega excited for Harry Potter part 2 that comes out in ONE MONTH. Oh my goodness.
• Delicious Reese's Ice Cream Sandwhiches. SOOO delicious.
• My overwhelming excitement for my trip in 4 days.
• The fact that today is my last day of work until I'm on holidays! Woohoo!
• The fact that I'll actually see Taylor Swift one of my favorite girls ever, in the flesh in 5 days. Way too exciting.
• Xmen! I love Xmen!
• Cuddle time. :)
• Camp, camp and more camp. Where all your worries are left in the city.

Have a wonderful weekend. And I'll talk to you when I get back when I've been SWIFT-IFIED! :D Woohoooo!

Breathe, Focus, Relax.

Everything is okay.

My life is great, wonderful even!

Why must I dwell on so many little things?

Why do I always have to please everybody else and when will I start learning to please myself, most importantly?

I'm growing up and there are big changes to be had.

Accept it!

Breathe, focus, relax.

More importantly, TAYLOR SWIFT in less than a week. Oh goody! :D

Some Exciting New Things

The past couple days at work, I've been getting together with one of the Radio Announcers here at the station to practice my Voice Tracking skills.

The date when I take over the 9-2 Radio Slot is coming up in a month and a halfish so I need to get learning...and fast!

I've already learned how to format a show and how to record a show.

This is such a great opportunity and I'm so excited about it.

Do you want to know what ELSE I'm excited for?

Taylor Swift, obviously. It's coming up in 11 days and I've never been so excited for anything, ever!
AHHH


Also, I've worked out 3 times this week. YAY for jumping back on the fitness bandwagon! :) WOohoo

life is good.

Taylor Swift: I Love This Picture!

How beautiful is this picture?

I love it so much.

41 more days!!!!! AHHHH!

Taylor Swift Concert: Next Month!

I can't WAIT for this.
Unfortunately, there was some road blocks.
Tamara can't get the time off for her new job. Which is understandable but definitely disappointing.
So instead, John offered to take me and my sister to Minneapolis and during the concert he'll just do his own thing.
Tamara's sister, Amanda offered for us to still go together but this is every bit of Jill's special trip as it is mine, so I don't think that would be very fun for her. I think she'd be more comfortable going with people she knows.
And when the time comes, me and John will make sure she has an amazing time!

It's going to be a Sparks Fly type of concert!!!!!!

Taylor Swift OH EM GEE!

You know that feeling that you get when one of your dreams are about to come true?
That excited and giddy feeling?

Back in the day, I got that feeling when my Dad bought me tickets to see my idol at the time, Hilary Duff. Who (I'm embarrased to admit) I still get stupidly excited when I see her on a TV show or movie.

But now... my new favorite singer of all time is coming to St. Paul in June and guess who is going?

ME! That's right! I'm so excited!
I seriously love Taylor Swift so much.
When her new album came out, I literaly laid in my bed and cried with her over her songs.
I wasn't even sad or depressed.
I'd cry during the sad songs, though.
AND I'd cry during the happy ones.
It was just because I felt like I connected with her words on a whole other level.
I knew what she was talking about because well, she's my age and she sings songs that people can connect with. That people can relate to.

Oh! I just love her so much!
She's such a sweetheart and just so wonderful!
I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait!

I know people will laugh at me for this post but you know what? I DON'T CARE! I'M SO EXCITED!

Goodbye for the day but while I'm gone, enjoy this lovely picture collection that I've put together of the lovely T. Swift:

MY TWO FAVORITE LADIES TOGETHER! ISN'T THAT JUST FANTASTIC?


xoxo BYE!

Nothing Interesting

I think I have a shopping problem.
I can't step into a store when I have money, and not walk out with SOMETHING.
Wal-Mart is (sadly) one of the worst places I do this. They have so much inexpensive stuff that it's difficult for me to walk out with nothing.
I think I have a problem.

In other thoughts, I really don't have much to say. I'm really excited for the weekend. I don't really have any big plans, though. Just kind of want to sleep, if that makes sense?

Sorry-nothing exciting that I can really talk about on here!
Just needed to post. :)
Have a great day.

P.S. Did I tell you how much I love Taylor Swift's new CD? Well, I do. It's phenomonal.

This Song Speaks To Me

Taylor Swift-You just know me so well don't you?


"The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You’re the kind of reckless that should send me running
But I kinda know that I won’t get far

And you stood there in front of me
Just close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Cause' I see sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

My mind forgets to remind me you’re a bad idea
You touch me once and it’s really something
You find I’m even better than you imagined I would be
I’m on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you I know it’s no good
And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

I run my fingers through your hair
And watch the lights go wild
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me
It’s just strong enough to make it feel right
And lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow
I’m captivated by you baby
Like a fireworks show

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile"

Lyrics

Lyrics that aren't just words:

"There's somethin' bout the way, the street looks when its just rained. There's a glow on the pavement"

"Believe in me, help me believe in anything"

"Nothin' makes sense. Nothin' makes sense anymore"

"Stupid girl-I should've known, I should've known."

"Now I don't know what to be without you around/Nothin' you say is gonna save us from the fallout"

"Fearless"
