Enchanted, Taylor Swift

There I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Shifiting eyes and vancancy vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered "have we met?"
Across the room your silhouette starts to make it's way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

The lingering question kept me up
2am, who do you love?
I wonder till I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say,
It was enchanted to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

This is me praying that this was the very first page
Not where the story line ends
My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again
These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

Eggs on the CAR!

Fall

It's fall, even though the weather can't make up it's mind if it wants to be hot or cold, the leaves know that they are ready to change colors and fall!

everything I know I learned from Taylor Swift...

November 2010 Glamour

Taylor Talks:

Glamour: Are there qualities you look for in a guy now that you wouldn't have looked for when you were younger?

TS: When I'm getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive. In high school, I used to think it was "like soooo coool" if a guy had an awesome car. Now none of that matters. These days I look for character and honesty and trust.

It makes me laugh, that at 19, we (Glamour) are asking the girl about her qualities in a guy that are different from when she was younger...oh to be a wise 19 year old! However, I do have to say, I character, honesty and trust are three pretty amazing qualities in a man...oh and a job!

I will be buying Speak Now on Monday morning so I can spend the day in the office listening to all the songs about her heartbreaks!

You know you love me...XOXO

Is bullying a taught skill?

There was an article in the New York Times about little mean girls. These little girls begin bullying each others as young as Kindergarten. Mean girls often (not always...) come from mean moms. These moms are the ones bullying and gossiping with other moms on the playground while the little girls play and learn these skills. Why does putting someone down make you feel better about yourself? Why does making someone else feel as low as you do, make you feel better? or...does it?

I know I am a hypocrite for even asking these questions. I often find myself obsessed with talking about other people and the decisions they make with their lives, when in reality it has nothing to do with me, and I should have no negative opinions on the subject matter. But...alas, I do...

This is an inspirational website I found a few years ago. I like to look at it and challenge myself to be nicer and think of others and how words and actions make them feel.

So, have a wonderful day and remember to write LOVE on your arm!!
