Come Home

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything on here. Sorry 'bout that. To say that life has been crazy would be a terrible understatement. I'll divulge more of that later. For now, I'll just post something that keeps hitting me between the eyes, in more ways than one. I've had this CD for a while. I've actually been listening to these guys for years (thanks to AH) but recently this song's meaning has become all too real. I'll just let the lyrics speak for themselves. They say it much better than I ever could.

Come Home - OneRepublic

Hello, world, hope you're listening
Forgive me if I'm young or speaking out of turn
But there's someone that I've been missin'
And I think that they could be the better half of me
They're in the wrong place, tryin' to make it right
And I'm tired of justifying, so I say to you

"Come home, come home
'Cause I've been waitin' for ya, for so long, for so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
And the fight for you is all I've ever known
So come home"

I get lost in the beauty
Of everything I see, the world ain't half as bad as they paint it to be
If all the sons, all the daughters, stop and take it in
Hopefully, the hate subsides, and the love can begin
It might start now, or maybe I'm just dreamin' out loud, but until then

"Come home, come home
'Cause I've been waitin' for ya, for so long, for so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
And the fight for you is all I've ever known (ever known)
So come home"

Everything I can't be, is everything you should be
And that's why I need you here
Everything I can't be, is everything you should be
And that's why I need you here
So hear this now

"Come home, come home
'Cause I've been waitin' for ya, for so long, for so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
And the fight for you is all I've ever known (ever known)
So come home
Come home"

27 Dresses (Ok, well, maybe just five...)

So, a lovely group of ladies decided to go see the movie 27 Dresses. But we decided it wasn't enough to just get together, go grab food and see the movie. We decided to make it a little more fun than that. We definitely turned some heads and caused some laughter. What you can't see in the picture is that my dress (and Steckel's dress, too) had a train. Yes, a train. J-Wo was so gracious as to crawl up under my skirt earlier in the evening to bussle it for me, but by the time we got to the theater it had come undone. By doing so Ilearned something that movie theathers everywhere might benefit from...bridesmaids dresses with trains are amazingly adept at picking up popcorn off the theater floor. Oh, and that amazing pink dress so fabulously worn by Lauren...yeah, that one's mine, too.
