176. Yummy Sounds

I have been wiped since 9:30 but felt it was such a wimpy time for me to pass out, so here I am- totally reflecting upon how dumb of a thought process that was, lol. I also had no idea what to write about today because I can't seem to ponder about deep things and my mind was in such chaos that my room turned into complete chaos. I can't stand it in there right now because it is a nearly un... walkable? What?

I'll figure it out sometime this week. Or get myself killed and buried in there. Lol... >_> Until I can form comprendable... comprehensible? thoughts, here's some great music that a dear friend just tuned me into! I love how they absolutely know what I'm such a sucker for. :P

New artist obsession!!: Alex Goot

Covering one of my new favorite current songs, "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars! Can you hear me melting? Lol.

And covering Train's "Hey Soul Sister" because we know how much I love that song!

Another new artist obsession: JRA

Covering Usher's DJ Got Us Falling In Love Again:

Kevin Lien covering Coldplay's Viva La Vida!

Tori Kelly also covering Bruno Mars's Just The Way You Are, warning she really can belt it out! :D

I think that this may be all that you can take of hearing the same songs over and over again. Hope you enjoy it and I'll see you tomorrow! <3

174. Not In A While

It has been a bit of time since I've temporarily misplaced my cell phone. I may be slightly notorious for it. And wallets and ID cards... :( This is quite the shame since I was going to make a few pretty important phone calls within the next 24 hours. We shall see what pans out tomorrow morning. Then I'll let myself completely panic.

Some of the kids started school today. Still adorable, still a handful. Only one student managed to make it to the morning class today. :( So, for the sake of trying to emphasis the actual routine, I played the part of Student #2. :D I am either getting way too old or incredibly out of shape. There was one portion of the day where we went to the easy playground for about 10 -15 minutes. I didn't remember that my knees and back could ache like that while in motion! XD Climbing into tunnels and going down slides was a lot of work! :P

The afternoon was a whopping 9 kids. Controlled-chaos is the best way to describe it. All of them are returning students that retained the routine pretty darn well over the summer. Many of them handled the high stress situation incredibly well! It's great to see how big and smarter they've grown. Like wildflowers.

My brother started his higher education today by being involved in a car accident almost right in front of campus. Everyone was fine and the cars are not totaled. Police took two hours to arrive. That poor thing. It really killed me for the rest of the day to not be there for him. Thankfully, he doesn't traumatize as easily as I do. The SO agrees. :P Class-wise he said was fine. His friend that also goes to the same place saw a total of 8 accidents and 22 cars involved today (one of which was my brother!). Good gravy, why don't they have someone posted out there? It's like right off a turnpike and they know that the lanes are all crazy and that its the first day. Ugh. :(

To say the least, I'm still wound up and it's been a few days now. I'm going in one more time this week tomorrow. The SO asked if I thought I would wake up and make it in and quite frankly, I said no, but I'll find a way. Good way to start, right? : )

Throwing together a mini album that is made of long business envelopes. I found a tutorial online and have been replaying the video footage over and over. I'll post pictures once I'm satisfied.

During this time, I've also been repeating:

Kevin Lien's older recording but newer posting cover of Coldplay's Viva La Vida. Love the song, love the cover. Psalm verse was a little unexpected, but kinda added a nice tough to the overall product.

Need to drag my butt to bed. See you tomorrow! <3

067. So That's Where They Went

I'm still pretty tired today. This whole waking up early thing isn't quite sinking in for me. :( I also forgot to mentioned yesterday how the doggie that has been sick had a tumble yesterday. It sounded horrible and he keeps tripping like that through the night and today. We've resolved to either not him into any area that has a step, even if it's just under 2 inches, or we're going to have to carry him down/ or them. Not an easy task, especially considering that the other doggie is a complete neurotic spaz. She has been incredibly inconsiderate and interfering these past few weeks. She also doesn't understand how the sick one gets to charge (as best he can) into the house during the day and gets extra mini meals made of rice and chicken/ beef and she's stuck with her usual feeding time and dog food. I still can't shake the horrible cries and screams of him when he fell and crashed that first time last night. :(

On a lighter note, I have been hard at work either working on orders for my shop, getting and prepping supplies for the kids at school, or researching and ordering materials for an exam I have to take a month from now. I love how I have to take an assessment test for my certification months before I take any classes whatsoever. Good job, state legislation, you totally understand the value and mechanics of education. You know I'm tired and cranky when I don't hold political-related criticism back. But I am grateful for the ability to do that in a public venue. Hoorah, America. More or less. Lol. Hoorah for any soldier that has done the right thing that allows for that freedom. I think that's more like it.

Wait, that wasn't actually the lighter note. Oops, lol. I am more awake at this time than I was yesterday because I realized those music videos I wanted to post but was too tired to find again were in a convenient list called 'My Favorites' in my account. Go me. :P Without further ado because I may pass out before I finish:

An ASL interpretation of The Script's "Breakeven." I love this guy's videos. I need to start learning ASL : / As if I couldn't love this song more.

A cover of Taio Cruz's "Break Your Heart." I love this song too, as you've probably seen (:P). Zomg they're Asian, lol. <3 I've had poor experiences with Asian guys, ha ha.

A cover/mash-up of The Script's "Breakeven" and B.o.B.'s "Nothin' on You." I probably should have shoved this with the other cover of  that song... hm. Too late! :P

Man, I need to update my tags with the people in all of these videos I have been posting the past few weeks... Well, there's always tomorrow! Lol. I also realized last night that I've posted pictures every day for the past week. Bet your feeling pretty spoiled now, huh? I'm going to feel like a jerk the next time I don't post any media, ha ha! Watch it be tomorrow too. /knock on wood.

I keep zoning out and then getting distracted by the internet, so I'm going to bid thee adieu until tomorrow! <3
