I'm slightly embarassed to post this

this song has probably been out for a while, but I LOVE "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus. seriously, how have I not heard this before? and how can I honestly enjoy something by Miley Cyrus? like I said, embarassing, but this song is so good :) some lyrics below...

I can almost see it
that dream I'm dreamin
but there's a voice inside my head sayin
you'll never reach it
every step I'm taking
every move I make feels
lost with no direction
my faith is shakin
but I, I gotta keep trying
gotta keep my head held high

there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna want to make it move
always gonna be an uphill battle
sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
ain't about how fast I get there
ain't about what's waitin on the other side
it's the climb

old lady!

happiest of birthdays to my beautiful Momma! I wont post her age but just know that she looks decades younger than she is :)



an old pic of the fam hiking in Estes Park.. where else. here's to the wonderful home you created Momma. love you!

Sheldon is my fav

Ry's parents got me started on The Big Bang Theory (Mondays on CBS) and now Ry and I go over to their house for dinner and a show every week :)

here's an older clip-

no mas!

seriously, is it time for me to graduate yet? every time I sit down to do work my whole body language changes... slumping and sad face and furrowed eyebrows. I'm keepin on keepin on, but it's hard.

on a related note, finding a job is going to suck. I'm ready for grad but I also want the security of a solid job when I'm done. yeah.right.

just a bundle of joy right now, that's me. somebody find me some chocolate!

seriously?!

I cannot believe Rihanna is even within a 2 mile radius of Chris Brown at this point. umm. he BEAT YOU in the FACE. what more does he need to do?!!

the worst part about it is that all these little girls who are like "oo Rihanna is cool" and who are beat by their boyfriends are now going to say "well he deserves a second chance like CB got." way to encourage tolerance of domestic violence, RiRi, way to go.

gorgeous!

it is beautiful outside! I am crabby because I want to just be done with school (seriously, I am staying motivated but I hate every second of it) but going outside makes me feel better. I am going to kick butt on my exam this afternoon so I can squeeze in a hike with Molly!

I am in such a romantic mood

first the weddings, now this incredibly sweet song. here are a few of my favorite lyrics from Today by Joshua Radin-

shoelaces untied
you can dry your eyes
perfect shadows alive
behind us
this is the day I make you mine

but you are the one
I've been waiting for today
and here comes the sun
it's been baiting on today

you looked right through me
when there was no one else
I sat beside you and became myself

LOVE that last line. sigh. now back to the totally unromantic subject of international finance... Sundays make me bummed.

ps- just as I was about to press "publish," I Wish by Stevie Wonder came on. what a way to make this homework sesh better!
