Stand when you're falling

Ok... so I have this new love for country music tv. I guess becuase MTV has so much other crap on it, that I like being able to have music on... anyway... figured I'd share one of my new favorite songs. Although this is a scary sign I've been living here in the south waaay too long.

LeAnn Rimes; Nothing Bout Loves Makes Sense

Like a cloud full of rain shouldn't hang in the sky

Ice shouldn't burn or a bumblebee fly

If you feel so happy, then why do you cry?

Oh nothin' bout love makes sense.
Like an ocean liner shouldn't float on the sea

A pearl in an oyster or a circus of fleas

Someone so perfect can't be falling for me.

Oh nothin' bout love makes sense.
Nothin' bout love is less than confusing

You can win when you're losing, stand when you're falling I can't figure it out.

Nothin' bout love can make an equation nothin' short of amazing

Wish I could explain it

But I don't know how.
The way that we dance, the reason we dream

That big Italian tower, well how does it lean?

Something so strong shouldn't make me this weak

Oh nothin' bout love makes sense.
(Instrumental)
Nothin' bout love is less than confusing

You can win when you're losing, stand when you're falling I can't figure it out.

Nothin' bout love can make an equation nothin' short of amazing

Wish I could explain it

But I don't know how.
Like the lights of Las Vegas going out on the sand

A jumbo shrimp or a baby grand

How you're touching my heart when you're holding my hand

Oh nothin' bout love makes sense

Oh nothin' bout love makes sense

Oh nothin' bout love, makes sense

No no no, oh it don't make sense.

The sweet email I got

So... an update on what's shakin with rick and all that stuff. The next day, I did what elly told me and just gave him some space, and at some point we were talking online, and then after he got offline I got a really nice email from him. Which elly agrees it totally sweet.

I know he's just having a hard time with everything, I just wish I could fix it all.

So figured I'd update you.

Last Night

So last night rick came over and we hung out for a little while. He had told me just a little bit after he got here that he couldnt sleep here, like we'd been planning. Then he could just strait to work in the morning. But anyway... this is so hard for me. Since he's been back at Lejeune he's just having such a hard time. He deploys in less then a month and he's just pulled back from everyone and everything. I know he's lost alot of friends over the years, and being a medic makes it even worse for him.
So anyway... It's something that I dont even know how to work with... or what to say... or what to do.
I've talked to elly, and she gave me some advice, but other then that it's like... I feel really helpless. That's really the problem, every other part of my life, I have control of and stuff... but when it comes to him, I just feel totally helpless.
Anyway...
Talk to y'all later

Yep Yep Yep

So I saw a commercial today, it was on the other day and I kinda didnt really think about what it said.

But there's a new Land Before Time movie out... and really... I think this is like... more then the 10th one. Dont you think they should really give it a rest. Not to say I didnt like the first one, because, I did. But at this point... it's crazy.

Ok... just had to comment on that.

Blood

Hey everyone... I just had to share the cool thing I did today. I donated blood. Whoo hoo... It'd been so long since I'd done it, because right before I was going to last time, I got my tattoo and then had to wait a year. But we went to the post office, and when we were driving back, there was the giant bloodmobile thing.
It was so nice to do it again, cause I havent since I was in school. Blood drives were so my thing. And here, the women who is the head volunteer bakes all the cookies herself. That's reason enough to donate.
Plus, now my arms all wrapped up in the cool crepe paper looking stuff. And the dorky sticker that says "Hug Me I Gave Blood Today" Hmm... if the sticker works, I might wear it everyday. :)

Had to share.

Goose!

So I figured I'd update the world on what's been shaking in my life this week.

Elly and I started talking again. I honestly forgot how much her and I had in common, kinda awesome really... We talked for a really long time one night, kind hashed things out, and talked about all sorts of really important stuff.

We got our new catalog sheets made, and they turned out AWESOME. We came out with some new designs and products at the same time, so it was double cool to see the new stuff in print for the first time.

Rick is finally in town for his pre-deployment crap. We finally got in touch with one another and he came over on his super short lunch break on Thursday. It was nice, he's gotten so much more freckly. And to top it off... he was coming right from work, so he was all cammied out... and nothing beats a man in cammies. What sucks is with their schedule right now, he's working every frickin day, and only had like 20 minutes the day he came over... hopefully he'll have some time for me. He's wanted to take me to see National Treasure for the longest time, he saw it a few weeks ago (right when it came out) Because he's a history and stuff like that kinda buff... and wanted to see it again... so we were planning on seeing it as soon as he got here. Lucky for us it's still showing here, I just hope it holds out a little longer. Anyway... he leaves so soon anyway. Beginning of feb. But here's hoping we can hang out more before he goes.

I also got two... yes two letters from Nathan. He's this friend of ellys fiance who is in the sandbox right now, and I started writing too... and he finally sent me pictures, and um... WOW. He is a very good looking guy. But it was cool to hear form him and know he's doing alright and stuff. And I know when he's coming home, and I know he's looking forward to that. Elly is going to HI to welcome home her sweety and keeps telling me that I should go with her to meet Nate, lol... if only I had that kind of money, I so totally would.

Lets see... what else. Jake is coming home next weekend... maybe maybe not. They just told him that he might have to stay another three months. Which totally sucks. He's leaving again in March anyway... so if he does stay, he'll only get a week off then he'll be back over again. He finds out on wednesday for sure if he's coming home or not. I know he cant wait to get home. So I can only hope for his sake that he gets to. And since he's there with a small unit, he get to use the sattalight (sattalite?) phone whenver he wants, so we had this awesome two hour conersation the other night... the stories this guy tells... FRICKIN hillarious.

Um... other then that, life has been pretty normal. I lost 13 pounds... yay me. Considering how much I want to lose, it's a nice start. I'll keep you all updated... then again... it's not like anyone reads this... but a girl can dream cant she.

Well... I think that's enough Lindsey for now. I'm gonna crash now... y'all have a good night. And my spell checker wont work... so just ignore anything that's spelled wrong.
