Blog Actually OR Dude Where's My Blog?

Tuesday night, I spent some quality time eating lots of Oreos and watching Dude Where's My Car? with Tracie. Good times were had by all.

I bought Love Actually for a bargain - $7.99! Sweet! Then I watched it. Dude!

Today I did some work. I slept until 2:05, and then I really fought waking up. God, I'm gonna miss summer.

My loan was processed - Word! Now, in less than two weeks, I'll be able to fix the air conditioning in my car.

Thursday I'm off at Starbucks, but I've got a Sidelines meeting. Then, it's quality father-daughter time. My mom is in Knoxville, and my sister isn't home much, so we're having dinner, and I think I'm going to rent Million Dollar Baby, because he'd like it, and I'm not sure my mom would.

I'm really excited about this. I don't get to see my parents nearly as much as I'd like to.

This weekend I'll be unbloggable because I'm going on that Presidium weekend retreat thing/student org. orientation. Yes. Not sure how I feel about it yet - will update once I return.

Song of the huge block of time since I last picked a song: "I'm Trying" by Diamond Rio/Chely Wright:

She said I'm not pointing fingers
He said yes you are
'Cause you wouldn't bring it up if you weren't
If I told you I'd been walking
Out in the dark night thinking
Would you take as truth this alcoholic's word
I can't change what's done is done
But I can tell you this
Not a day goes by that I
Don't curse myself and all my sins
And I need you to hold on to
While this part of me is dying
And though I haven't kicked the demons
That haunt me
I'm Trying
I'm Trying

She sat down on the floor
And said I wish I was stronger
Right now I feel fragile as glass
I want to believe you
Believe what's held you has freed you
And I hate these doubts
That keep on coming back
My parent's think I'm crazy
For staying here this long
But there's nothing more I want for us
Than to prove to them they're wrong
I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to think you're lying
And though I haven't found the faith
That I need
I'm Trying
I'm Trying

He asked do you want me to leave
'Cause if you do you know I will
But she said much to his disbelief
No I love you still
Oh I love you still

He said I don't know why I've been the fool
But I can tell you this
Not a day goes by that I
Don't curse myself and all my sins
Then he dropped down to his knees
By now they both were crying
He said I haven't been the man I want to be
But I'm Trying
I'm Trying
I'm Trying believe me
I'm Trying
