Christina Perri - A Thousand Years (Official Music Video)

Heart beats fastColors and promisesHow to be braveHow can I love when I'm afraidTo fallBut watching you stand aloneAll of my doubtSuddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everydaywaiting for youDarlin' don't be afraidI have loved you for aThousand yearsI'll love you for aThousand more
Time stands stillbeauty in all she isI will be braveI will not let anythingTake awayWhat's standing in front of meEvery breath,Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everydayWaiting for youDarlin' don't be afraidI have loved you for aThousand yearsI'll love you for aThousand more
And all along I believedI would find youTime has broughtYour heart to meI have loved you for aThousand yearsI'll love you for aThousand more
One step closerOne step closer
I have died everydayWaiting for youDarlin' don't be afraid,I have loved you for aThousand yearsI'll love you for aThousand more
And all along I believedI would find youTime has broughtYour heart to meI have loved you for aThousand yearsI'll love you for aThousand more

Paula Cole-Where have all the cowboys gone

Oh you get me ready in your 56 chevy
Why don't we go sit down in the shade
Take shelter on my front porch
The dandy lion sun scorching,
Like a glass of cold lemonade
I will do laundry if you pay all the bills

Where is my John Wayne
Where is my prairie song
Where is my happy ending
Where have all the cowboys gone
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/p/paula+cole/where+have+all+the+cowboys+gone_20106206.html ]
Why don't you stay the evening
Kick back and watch the TV
And I'll fix a little something to eat
Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
How do you take your coffee my sweet
I will raise the children if you pay all the bills

I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you don't, but you don't even notice me
Say goodbyes
Say goodbyes
Say goodbyes

We finally sell the chevy
When we had another baby
And you took the job in tennessee
You made friends at the farm
And you joined them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week

I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer
Where is my Marlboro man
Where is his shiny gun
Where is my lonely ranger
Where have all the cowboys gone
Yippee yo, yippee yeah

Exciting and new

Well... Hasn't this been a busy few months!

So aprox two months ago i applied for a job as a Marketing Assistant for a college. Its been a long process that has had a lot of stop/start moments, but finally i shall be starting my new position next Wednesday.
I have to admit, i am very excited as i love new challenges but i am also very scared!!
I have worked in my current job for four years now and i'll be honest, they are rather lapsidaisicle about a lot of things. Therefore i feel as though i am starting from scratch with no experience of the working world at all. To add to this, i shall also be doing a college course. Its only one day a week for a year but even so. A new 'proper' job and going back to college!! What was i thinking!

So on my penultimate day at my current job i got to thinking what i have to look forward to as 2012 finishes....

At the weekend i baked my 1st Christmas cake! It is now been fed with brandy every week until i am ready to decorate it. Which is the 2nd fun part!

I think i am going to opt for a simple design like the Holy Leaves.



Tonight i am going, with my girlfriends and my Dolly to see Twilight. I am excited for this and before you ask, i dont know if I am Team Edward or Team Jacob.

I read all the books first and over time have grown to love the films (i have a major issue with books to movies and how badly they are done and how horrific the actors are they choose to play the characters!)

So tonight we shall go to dinner and then embrace our inner Vampire!

Team Jacob or Team Edward?



This weekend i am going out with my sister, she is younger than me and i dont think we have ever been out, just the two of us before. So, that is exciting in itself, but what is more exciting is that we are going to see Professor Green... I have an actual school girl crush on him!!

Dont as what it is, he's just lush!



This leads me to Wednesday... My First Day!

Since my new job is full time, something else which is new to me as i haven't worked full time in 13 years since Dolly was born, i have had to go the majority of my Christmas shopping already. So comes the next bit... The wrapping. Now i usually get excited about this but as time goes on i am realising that all it causes me is a bad back and mess. Alas, it cannot be avoided and the end result is always a joy!

The best feeling is giving.







Then comes the decorating of the tree. Every year i want a real tree but i am such a perfectionist i fear that once the netting is taken off i am left with a sparce, un even, wonky attempt at a tree. I do however this year need a new fake tree... So the search begins for a full and fabulous fir!



I wish my house looked like this!



And so comes the Christmas parties, the get togethers. The practice run of eating, drinking and being merry!!
As i will have only left my job for three weeks and i organised our Christmas party, i still get the pleasure of attending!

Fun times



Last but not least Christmas day...

This year my family will be coming to me and i am so excited to get my 'cook on!'

YUMMY!!!

So, if i dont get chance (because my new job will be so busy!)

Merry Christmas to everyone

May 2013 be happy and filled with love and laughter
