for my birthday, my brother gave me the best gift! a dvd/cd of adele's live concert at royal albert hall from this past septemeber. i love how the dvd captures her true personality & shows how sweet and humble she is - which is exactly how she was when i saw her live this past may!
"throw your soul through every open door
count your blessings to find what you look for
turn my sorrows into treasured gold
you'll pay me back in time, to reap just what you've sown"
things have been a bit busy over here with wedding planning, job hunting, etc, etc...
buttttt i thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite summer songs that i have been listening to. i love music. i love singing. i love music videos... so here ya go...enjoy!
i hate it, because i honestly love blogging! but i sit down & nothing comes to mind. .
so, i thought i'd do a list of random things about me!
here goes:
1. i am naturally blonde, through & through. (just get some highlights once in a while.) i laugh at myself at least once a day!
2. i have a plethora of useless knowledge regarding celebrities, names of people from high school, song lyrics, people, places, things, outfits worn, food eaten, smells, etc...
but i can not tell you anything worth while, haha. unless the above list is worth your while=)
3. my favorite place in the world is central park, nyc.
4. i am the biggest animal lover. i've never met an animal that i didn't like, or animal that didn't like me!
5. my biggest fear would be a tie between spiders and those million legged creatures that flutter across the floor late at night.
6. i love to read.
7. my best friend is my boyfriend & i think that our relationship is awesome! i never knew that i could ever get thisclose to someone.
8. my favorite movie is "the holiday". i could watch it back to back & not get sick of it.
9. my favorite memory is from a trip to nyc. in was mid january and shawn & i took a train ride to the city. we spent the day walking around, shopping, eating and drinking. it occurred to us that neither one of us had ever been ice skating at rockefeller center. so we finished our drinks, hopped in a cab and we were off to go ice skating!
10. i love to run & plan on running a marathon. i think it would be awesome to call myself a marathoner!
i cannot, literally, cannot, will not, don't even want to try to stop listening to adele's new cd. she is so amazing, every song is so good that i just want to listen over & over til i know all the words and can belt them all out!!!!
i haven't been this obsessed with a cd since i was 15 and mariah carey was my idol!!
recently, someone very close to me ended a 2 year relationship. when i hear adele's "someone like you lyrics" it makes me want to cry for the loss and sadness that he is experiencing. at the same time, i know that this was the best decision for the two of them..
"Nothing compares,
No worries or cares,
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made,
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?"
