A Juggling Act

"Circus" - Britney Spears

What a weekend! Rain, sickness, and a baby shower...oh my! We had decor to lay out, tents to pop up, food to prepare, drinks to purchase, guests to entertain, and a soon-to-be mommy to keep happy.

Everyone was running around in a frenzy making sure all our i's were dotted and t's crossed. We had a lot to do and limited time to work with. So with a ball of tissue in hand and tons of cold medicine in my system, my family and I took off running and never stopped!

Funny how I woke up with this song blasting in my head the next day. Maybe because the day before was a CIRCUS trying to fit over 70 people in a small house comfortably on top of fighting the weather and maintaining our health...and not to mention, sanity! It was a juggling act to say the least and everyone was watching to see how it will all end. But I'm proud to say we pulled off the most beautiful event for the most beautiful Ate (older sister) and as expected, we put on an awesome show!










Lyrics:

There's only two types of people in the world:
The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe
Well baby, I'm a put on a show kind of girl
Don't like the backseat, gotta be first

I'm like the ringleader, I call the shots (Call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot
When I put on a show
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer
The dance floor is my stage
Better be ready
Hope that you feel the same

All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip everybody gon' trip
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me
Follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go
We can make a dance floor
Just like a circus

There's only two types of guys out there:
Ones that can hang with me, and ones that are scared
So baby, I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight ship, so beware

I'm like the ringleader, I call the shots (Call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot
When I put on a show
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer
he dance floor is my stage
Better be ready
Hope that you feel the same

All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip everybody gon' trip
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me
Follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go
We can make a dance floor
Just like a circus

Let's go! (Uh, uh, uh, uh, Uh-huh)
Let me see what you can do (Uh, uh, uh, uh, Uh-huh)
I'm running this (Like, like, like, like a circus)
Yeah, like a what? (Like, like, like, like a circus)

All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip everybody gon' trip
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me
Follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go
We can make a dance floor
Just like a circus

All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip everybody gon' trip
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me
Follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go
We can make a dance floor
Just like a circus

Broken

"Paradise" - Coldplay It took a while for this song to affect me, but I guess a windy drive home through an obstacle course of devastating proportions and the sudden panic of having a "State of Emergency" warning flash within my quiet hometown can change things. A lot. I didn't sleep a single minute last night. Although this isn't anything new, it's new to me to want to sleep and not get it. It was unbelievably frightening to be alone in my room with the nite-lite busted and the wind at full speed...even worse when half the roof over my head flew to the ground with a thunderous thud bringing the rest of the sleepless city to its feet. We've seen the Santa Ana winds, but never at this magnitude. It moved cars and busted windows. It rattled fences and ripped gates apart. It knocked over trashcans and picked up patio furniture like it weighed nothing. In the morning when the dust settled just enough for the hazy sun to bring some light to the mayhem, w

Soul Mates

"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty How funny it is that even after all these years and how far we've come with animation, this classic Disney cartoon still grabs me. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's a silly I grew up with and can't help but fall for... I know the story is so far fetched: a 16 year old girl (that looks more like a 21 year old) with gold of sunshine in her hair and lips that would shame the red, red rose sings high up in the mountain tops and suddenly attracts the man of her dreams; her soul mate! (who by golly is the prince that she has been betrothed to since she was a baby!). Unbelievable. So it's all fairytale crap, but so what? I'm not into it because of the romance! To tell you the truth, I don't even like Aurora all that much, the spoiled lil' brat. I mean, she's beautiful in EVERY way, finds out she's a princess and is going to marry into royalty on top of her royalty! I can't really sympathize... Seriousl

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.
