Friday Love Songs – Hello

This song, although “old”, became very new to me when it was done by David Cook on America Idol! I even bought it on iTunes! And even then, it is a wonderful love song! I have had strong feelings for someone before and was unable to tell them…..as I pined over them day after day! So this song totally makes sense to me!

Lyrics

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I kiss your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me your looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in our smile
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I wanna tell you so much,
I love you

'cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere, feeling lonely,
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
'cause I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying,
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I Am Getting OLD and Other Recaps

First of all, my dear readers, is that I am very very TIRED after my long day at Disneyland!  It was fun, though!

Special shout out to my dear regular reader Kate in Fargo, ND!  You may have seen her post yesterday, but it was her birthday too!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE!  Hope you had a great day and have an awesome year!

So, Dland was so fun!  It wasn’t that crowded, at times a little bit, but overall it was a pleasant day.  Zack and Sophia were very intent on going on Tower of Terror and that made me very proud as they ARE pretty small!  It started out well, until the Twilight Zone segment started……Sophia’s face was like, “Um, Gina, what the hell have you DONE to me, bringing me on this ride?”  Zack tried to look more chill, but that set him off a bit, too.

So then we went on the ride – not sure if you know about it, but it is an elevator that goes up and down really fast with crazy.  The kids were freaked out before it even started (due to the whole haunted hotel theme) but when the ride started, BAM!  Sophia was sobbing instantly and Zack, although fighting to keep it in, was just as terrified.  I had each of my arms across them and they both were clutching to them for life.  When the ride was done, Sophia was still sobbing and I felt so bad!

However, before you get all “omg, I can’t believe she would DO THAT!”, here are the rest of the quotes after the ride:

Sophia:  “Mom, I was crying like a baby!”

Zack: “It was scary, but at least I was old enough to go on!”

Sophia:  (hours later)  “Jenny Jen Jen (another friend), can we go on Tower of Terror again?”  (However, the ride was closed by then, so we didn’t go

Zack (on the way home):  “When we go back, I want to go on Tower of Terror again.”

So anyway, we had a BLAST yesterday and were able to hook up with some friends so that made it even more special!  And, yes, Zack is now seven…..sigh…..

The new It’s a Small World ride is nice too…….

Okay, I need to get this old and tired body going…….and wow, I need to find a song for today!  dang it!

I Am Excited…..And Bummed!

So, what part first?  Let’s see……

Okay, the bummer part….tomorrow, Zack is turning 7.  Why is that a bummer?  Well, he is growing up!  I mean, he was just 4, almost 5, when we met him and now he’s PRACTICALLY AN ADULT!  All week I have been telling him, “Zack, your birthday is cancelled – you have to stay six.”  Of course, he said even if I cancelled his birthday, he would still turn 7.  The smart bugger!

I don’t know, 7 sounds SO much older than 6!  But, I guess he is right…..I can’t stop the hands of time!  So, Zack will be 7…..

But the GOOD news – we are going to Disneyland tomorrow!  Yep, that’s right!  Zack gets in free and the rest of us are getting passes!  WHOOT WHOOT!  I am SO excited!  I haven’t been to Disneyland since August and I am SO looking forward to it!  I want to go on the rides, act like a kid, SEE GOOFY (my love), eat junk food, laugh, and celebrate Zack’s birthday!  I feel like a kid the night before too, not being able to sleep!  YIPPEE!!!!

So, on that note, I best get my stuff together for tomorrow.  Hope to post pics after the big day!
